The new J.Cole album thoughts?

[sandman20]

I haven't heard it yet, but I was wondering what those who have thought of it? Might reinforce me into checking it out.

 

[FoxesInWonderland]

I haven't finished the whole album but so far it's pretty good.

 

[Mikeyofthesharingan]

I think he outdid himself on this one! Its fire bruh

 

[The Amazing Spider Man]

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

 

[Xlad]

I say it's pretty decent for the most part.

Hot, fire, and flames are appropriate adjectives.

 

[xcoyote]

J.Cole is wack.

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

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.
