Sideline Story was a disappointing follow up to Friday Night Lights but I still love that album. We played it relentlessly in the crib I was living at. "Dollar And A Dream 3", "Can't Get Enough", "God's Gift", "Nobody's Perfect", "Breakdown". And I know "Lights Please" and "In The Morning" were old but I'm glad he included them on the official album.
"Born Sinner" is probably my favorite Cole album
This album feels like a return to early Cole to me, I love it.
I thought the second half of Sideline Story was dope, from the Missy record onwards. First half was a bit hit or miss.
Never liked Born Sinner tbh

I must be the ONLY nikka on earth that loves foldin clothes. That song hit for me at the right moment in my life

Born Sinner was disappointing because he sampled a lot of classic beats that he didn’t do justice too. That nikka had the AUDACITY to sample Da Art Of Storytelling and told a wack ass story
Forbidden Fruit was another one. Classic sample. Lazy execution.
The highs on the album were great (Power Trip/ Mo Money/Let Nas Down/The title track. But the corny shyt was next level bad (What the fukk was Villumimati?!?!)
The best thing that happened regarding that album was him dropping it the same day as Kanye. Because Yeezus was so terrible that it made Born Sinner look like a classic in comparison

Bro what are you TALKING about? You’re actively discussing J Cole and seem to know minutia. How do you live with yourself? He sang Paula Abdul, let Hnas down and folded clothes. How does that not end a chapter? I don’t get you losers at all.

Yo honestly the Yeezus shyt definitely played into it, I still think that album was mid and it was refreshing to hear some straight-up rap shyt from Cole as a comparison. I actually fukk with "Forbidden Fruit" too, Kenny did his thing on the hook.

Giving game to lames since the 90s
Album keeps getting better with each listen especially the beginning half. Just the varied production in the first 5 songs, switching up flows and melody and lyrics...
95 South is my shyt, favorite intro ive heard in a while

Been listening to Cole since the beginning. Well Warm Up not The Come up. Hunger on a Hillside is probably one of my favorite songs from Cole. It's such a clear perspective of where he is in respect to where he came from.
lmaoooooo at the reactions
u mad son?

I was expecting something much better than what I heard given the amount of hype this album has.
It happens every time though. J coles albums always get hyped to fukk and it always ends up being some average generic shyt. He's found he's lane as the default rapper to go to if you wanna hear "real hip hop".
It sounds like he's trynna blend the new style of rapping and production with his lyrical miracle style... A lot of wack soulless singing on here too.
That being said though... The good tracks on here are really good.. I like the 2nd half of the album much more. Let go my hand is crazy.

Its surprising that given how short this album is, that it doesnt feel short really at all
. I sometimes forget this album is barely over 40 minutes
no album should be over an hour anymore
