[phrank kastle]

Any link to physical copies/vinyls?

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

turned it off after a few tracks. too much autotune for me. wasnt expecting that for some reason.

This I've never seen him rep the south like this. Curious what changed.

J.I.D. & Earthgang

 

[gluvnast]

"I got a good heart/So I send teddy bears when I see they mamas cry" Twenty One

21 Savage's entire verse is so immaculate, it's arguably up there with Rick Ross' Devil in a Blue Dress verse.

'Close' is too good

'Hunger on Hillside' is beautiful. That ending melody

Bas deserves the 6th man Award for those background vocals.

I know it’s a version of 95 South out there that has a Cam verse on it smh

It’s actually pretty crazy how many all time greats we’re witnessing in real time right now


From Cole, Kendrick and Drake to Lebron and KD, Steph Curry.. the Tom Brady’s, etc.


Literal all time greats that’ll be in the history books.. we’re witnessing these people work in real time, and some people have their heads shoved too far up their own pretentious asses to even appreciate it. So unfortunate

I had this same revelation over the last year or so myself, people gotta let that hate out their heart man.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Rap fans are hilarious bruh lol. Albums be either classic or total trash less than 24 hours after they drop I can’t J. Cole did J Cole things on here and that makes the album solid to me. I’ve been listening to it all day. Good job Jermaine

 

[Blurneed]

J Cole is nice. And like others have said in here, I also felt he was missing something I can't put my finger on. I've never listened to a whole J Cole project without getting somewhat bored at some point with his previous releases......but this shyt here...excellent album. Not one Skippable track.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

nothing anybody does satisfies you nikkas.

the material dropped in 2020 raised the bar.

 

[JayStarwind]

This was a dope teaser project for the real album he is going to drop. I will treat this as a mixtape release.

Saw some people laugh at this earlier but it does feel like a teaser album, it left me wanting more. Wouldn't be surprised if he dropped again in September-November.

Drake stands alone him hip hop greatness

 

[-Quikness-]

Been listening all day and it’s got that instant good feel, ain’t skipped no tracks.

Pride is the devil is one of J Cole’s best songs IMO.

Just wish the album was longer, but I’m feeling it

 

[the cool]

He really needs to work with other producers. Upon initial listen I’d still take KOD over this.

Same
