Man, I hate when Cole be messing up the layups. Did this on three albums in a row, smh.

The beginning of G.O.M.D had me like :blessed::feedme::mjcry:

But man, he flipped that beat, I think he had Gunplay on there, and I was like :beli:

But I think he did good in this album. Similar to KRIT to me. Two guys with a sound and crafted it and "perfected" it.

It's actually very good, but in true J Cole fashion, the last 4 tracks literally put me to sleep. To the project's credit, it was able to hold my attention very well for about 70% of the album. Everything was well produced. I don't know if he produced it, but the production is on point. In my opinion, it's his best project to date. You can tell his confidence is peaking as well. This is the J Cole I was rooting for in the beginning. I don't know if he has the ability to make me a fan again but he surely proved himself with this one. 4 stars.

Really loved that line. Album is good. I prefer Born Sinner as an album despite the fact that this has better cuts than Born Sinner did. Cole is easily one of the most relatable rappers out. Apparently touched me heavy. Love Yourz does too.

The quality drops off after the 6th track something fierce..... and it really doesn't pick back up...

Too much singing, harmonizing, or whatever he does....
