I kinda rolled my eyes at first but I guess this is like director commentary from back in the day on dvds.

I fukked with Jcole early music hard so I will prolly check this out at some point.

:wow:The Warmup and FNL are such dope tapes. So much that Cole’s 1st 2 albums were disappointing. Cole didn’t find himself until Forest Hill Drive. The Come Up was just ok tho.

“Wet Dreams” being recorded during the come up era and being held on to for 7 years makes sense cause I always felt that track didnt fit the mood/sonics of 2014 FHD but went well with theme of that album
:ohhh:Ahh...makes sense why that song was the weakest on that album.

Thread will get spam by Dot stans and haters but this is content for the fans and the heads. I enjoyed the first episode. Back in 03 I was a huge fan of Fade To Black. Love seeing the behind the scenes and how the art got created. (Really wish Nas had a production team around him back in 01-02, would’ve been amazing to see the behind the scenes of Ether and stillmatic)

I feel like this is a genius move and lets fans get to see what’s behind the curtain. Mixtapes hitting DSPs is a bonus. Cole and Ib come off as the homies you would be arguing with at the lunch table about rap. Ripping mixtapes and putting each other on dope music. Hearing their stories about college life was so relatable. It’s bittersweet because I can relate to how much these guys love this rap shyt but feel that that is what’s missing from the game these days with new artist.





Bring up shyt like Big Mike mixtapes, Joe Budden, clue tapes, even Jaehood lol. “Wet Dreams” being recorded during the come up era and being held on to for 7 years makes sense cause I always felt that track didnt fit the mood/sonics of 2014 FHD but went well with theme of that album.



It’s cool to hear Cole give Kanye his flowers and explain just how much he meant to the game and his career by making the blueprint and opening doors for rappers who were from the hood but not running the streets.

Cole recorded "Wet Dreamz" in 2007? :ohhh:

I wouldn't listen to them talking about it but I really like the looking back podcast roll out for the old mixtapes going on streaming.

I remember he used to record out of Jim Jones old studio and showroom.
him, Danny Brown when he was in the city amongst others. was a such a fire space honestly. I know he was mad as hell when he had to leave.

How many store runs you did for breh?
