So funky.

On first listen, I think it's like a poster earlier in the thread mentioned.

Just got done listening solid tape from Cole

This is how I feel about Cole. Having said that this album is undeniable. My only beef is his singing.

I get what he's trying to do with the singing. It worked on a couple of Bas tracks years ago, so I don’t always mind it, lol.

This album has all the right pieces. Dope production and lyrics. I just feel like he's kinda dry, if that makes sense.

Cole gave me the album I been waiting on since the mixtapes. Greatest career turnaround in rap. Each of the last 3 albums have been stepping in the right direction.
