It's better than his other two albums but he's reaching for a title he can't claim and it's ruining his legacy sort of. Wouldn't go as far as his fanboys are going and call it a classic it's just an okay album listenable much better than what trash is on the radio. Guess mediocre is the new dope for this generation Lol

It was alright. There was one song that was forced. It had like a trap beat and he was saying hands in the air. Talking about hitting licks, like he does any of that. It was bad.

But overall it's just a real hip hop album. It's not trying to be anything else and you can tell, which is what I like the most. He's not really adding anything new though, it's all familiar to me. But it's not bad, it's alright.

Ugh, that sounds forced and I haven't heard it yet, but I will listen to it and give it a try. I wonder why he said he wasn't going ot release any singles on this one? He really trying to be underground or something like I don't get it.

You didn't listen home boy. He didn't say he was robbing people. It's a story about 2 different people experiencing life in 2 different places. Come on dog, it's in the title(A tale of 2 citiez) Lol. Verse 1 is Cole(or someone similar), Verse 2 is someone from a different city. The guy from verse 1 is walking down a street and his boy gets robbed. The guy from verse 2 is riding around and robs a dude at a light.


This album showcases his storytelling ability that he didn't show off as much on Born Sinner. I think it's equal to or better than Born Sinner.
