DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Album sucks.
Lol? Now they post about Cole. Coincidence?
So much potential yet so boring. This guy’s albums put me to sleep. “The Warm Up” is still his best project to date. “Young Simba” is that record.
Weed plate of the year!

i wanted to like it – i mean there are 3 / 4 good songs – immortal , deja vu, neigbours and 4 your eyez only. But it seems like a pretty lazy album. You cant listen to the production quality on friday night lights and the lyrical densisty and deliver and say it hasn’t fallen off on this album. He sounds asleep on this shit. Delivery and production wise. I mean yeah he got a story to tell but atleast make it musically interesting to listen to like say Good Kid Mad City. The only good thing people say about this album is the story. which he only really gets to on the last song. Justifying the half assed shit he just dropped…we still buy it though. The irony. Listening to his old shit knowing he wont top it.
Facts bro!!!
Love Cole but agree with a lot of this.
most boringest rapper ever.
Dats a good look for Cole. The debut sales get bigger everytime.
Yawn……
The album is ass…
Go clean a bathroom or some shit!
MM
J.Cole is one of my favorite rappers but he was stupid for trying to make another album with no features. Someone tell J.Cole you CANNOT make a classic album by yourself. You need features and outside production. I give it a 7/10
That makes NO sense….and most of the classic albums are just that…artists by themselves and/or THEIR camps…so Cole is fine and the numbers just SHOWED you so!
MM
That makes no sense when J Cole was the first rapper to go platinum with no features in 25 years so what are you talking about? Name a classic rap album with no features and only produced by the rapper. I’ll wait.
You adding the only produced by part is the hang up…but I can name you like 10+ albums that are classic with no features!!! What are you like 20 yrs??? LOL
MM
You just proved my point, you CANNOT name a classic with no features and no outside production because that’s not how classics are made.
J.Cole is not the elite producer he thinks he is. Even Dre and Kanye get outside production so who is Cole not too? Does that makes sense to you? Are you like 7 years old?
You’re not making ANY sense bro…NONE!
Here’s one…PAID IN FULL…all produced by Eric B…and Marley Marl (some)…but you’re arguing the wrong thing bc the rapper producer isn’t a new thing…it’s been happening since the late 80s….OH by the way…he’s another classic produced in-house EPMD – Strictly Business…and I can KEEP going!
How old are you dude??? If you don’t like Cole….say that but you’re sound stupid AF…bc you don’t release having an argument. Cole is in an era when most rappers have a 100 feature…his last 2 projects had NONE…one is 2x plat one is Gold after a week…so what we talking about??? LOL
You new cats I swear!
MM
You’re wrong again because that album features two artists which is the whole point I’m making. You can not produce every song on your album and not have any features and expect it to be a classic.
All I’m saying is J Cole can do better, you’re the one making it personal not me. I don’t care if he went gold, Views went 4x platinum and his fans think it’s his worst album. I love Cole but this album was his chance to drop a classic and he didn’t
Dude…I’m done with you…I just gave you 2 examples and have 5 more…but it’s apparent that I’m debating someone who’s not as versed in the culture as I am…so I’ll tap out here young’n!
MM
You gave me incorrect examples because they were not solo albums nor where they both produced by the solo artist and have no features which you admitted doesn’t exist as a classic so hang it up. J Cole needs to take his next album a new direction
WTF are you talking about…let’s not get off topic…I know you young cats have all types of ADD and ADHD….let’s stick to the topic at hand.
You said name an artist…Eric B & Rakim were artists, EPMD we’re artist..both working IN-HOUSE….you asked for examples…then when given some, you moved the goal post. Pete Rock & CL…Classics ALL produced by Pete Rock…Diamond D 1st album CLASSIC…all produced by him! Gang Starr, ETC…As I said, you’re talking about shit and you don’t even have a base of reference.
But let’s stick with Cole…you’re doing all this ranting when Cole has ALREADY done it! And he just did it TWICE….so why hate??? LOL….makes NO sense…none. He just SHOWED you….as if he had to prove it to you solely.
MM
None of those albums you named only featured ONE solo artist AND ALL in house producing, so for the last time you are wrong dude. 2014 was well executed but it wasn’t a classic which is the whole point of what I’ve been saying. 4 your eyez only was worse than FHD so it wasn’t classic material. Good album, could have been better with features and other producers
I’m gonna bow out because you’re too much of a stan for me bro…and I’m going to copy and repaste this on the other 20 comments you left as well…2
MM
You’ve been proven wrong loser. It’s okay to be wrong sometimes. Fuck outta here
Dude…you’re like 20…go listen to Hip-Hop from the late 80s, early 90s.
MM
Telling me to go listen to hip hop from whatever era makes no sense when you’re wrong and those ages still don’t have a classic that I described. You’re like 30, you should know better
I’m gonna bow out because you’re too much of a stan for me bro…and I’m going to copy and repaste this on the other 20 comments you left as well….4

It did numbers but most fans were a bit disappointed. The reason why people put Kendrick and Drake over Cole is because he doesn’t have a classic album. GKMC is an example of telling a story to perfection. Good features where needed. Great production.
Someone needs to tell Cole that if he tries to drop another album with no features produced by only him, he will never live up to his peers.
I don’t think you understand his message. He DOES NOT CARE about public perception of his moves. He makes music that he likes and has a strong core that follows suit. He cares more for cult Classics than trying to make a critically acclaimed/universal classic
If he didn’t care about his public perception he wouldn’t release it to the PUBLIC. If j Cole doesn’t care about how his fans feel then keep the music to yourself.
I love Cole but you can admit this album could have been way better had he gotten help. Even his strong core audience was a bit disappointed even though he did numbers just like views from the 6. It did numbers but people are saying it’s Drakes worst album. That’s my point. LISTEN to the fans.
He’s already on the level of his peers so I’m sure he’s not concerned about that. And “Born Sinner” is his classic opus.
MM
But he’ll never be ranked above them if he continues with this route. I love born sinner but it’s not a classic in any sense
No need..they respect him…and he get more respect than Drake…maybe not Kendrick…but Drake ain’t fkn with him lyrically.
Your beef sounds personal bro LOL! He fkd your chick or something?? LOL
MM
Nahh I just want his potential to be fulfilled. Drake is the biggest artist in the world right now and has reached legend status,not sure what you’re talking about. Hopefully he takes his next album the right direction
Drake is NOT a legend…he’s a good artist…he’s actually diluting his brand by release hit or miss projects…and you talk about no classics…Drake doesn’t have ONE classic…and before you say “Take Care’…”NWTS” is way better than TC track for track….and it’s still not a classic.
MM
Take CAre is definitely a classic album. You can argue that it’s not a rap album but it’s a classic music album. This can NOT be denied whatsoever
Let’s see if Take Care is listenable in 5-10 yrs….then that assessment can be made. Until then, it’s a good album and not even his best.
You’re a fan…in order to debate you have to be impartial…and you already showed your hand.
MM
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, everyone who does reviews is somewhat a fan because if they were not they wouldn’t be listening in 5- 10 years. I’m a Cole fan and I stated that this album could be better, fans can still be subjective. Take care is drakes best album, anyone will tell you that but nwts is second for sure.

Also Drake is a legend whether you like it or not, he’s the greatest rapper of our generation. He’s the number 1 artist in the entire universe right now, broke a million records including Spotify’s most streamed artist ever, broke eminems billboard record, most number 1’s ever and that’s just a few. Drake is definitely in the hip hop hall of fame, he can’t be denied at this point
That don’t make you great homie…..”the most streams”…yadda…Hammer sold more records than Nas…who’s greater??
Drake is a good artist…let’s give him time to see if he’s gonna be great.
He’s not there yet…his catalog is 2 hits and the rest are ehhh…he’s POPULAR..and never compare popularity to actual GREAT content.
Megamind
How greater can you be than the number one artist in the world? How greater can you be than beating Beyoncé first week as a rapper? How greater can you be than having the first album to have a billon streams?
His catalog is 2 hits??? You’re disqualified from this conversation. Drake could literally put out a greatest hits album as we speak. Most number 1’s EVER. No one else who came out from 2010- is doing that. He doesn’t have a lot of classic albums but that doesn’t take away from the fact that NO one in his generation is greater than him.

SMACK YA SELF!!! FK YO FEELINGS!!!
You’re a troll, kill your self
STAY OFF MY COMMENTS PLEASE!!! FK YO FEELINGS!!!
Nigga said PLEASE lmfao
Y’all really need to stop saying if an album is classic or not. It takes years to decide if an album is a classic. Saying something is or isn’t a classic takes away from the accomplishment of actually having one.
You know whether an album is classic material after 4 listens all the way through. None of J.Cole’s albums are classic no matter how much time we give them. Friday Night Lights is a classic because he balanced himself well with the right features, diverse songs and different producers. He needs to take that direction for his 5th album
It’s funny ppl complain about mumble rapper, etc…but when a real MC drops an album and it does well…y’all dumb ass ngas still complain! I don’t get it!…2017 i’m off these comment lists…shit is an exercise in futility.
MM
because he sings. this album sucked excepfr ot like what 4 songs? both of the shes mine we’re embarrassments and shouldnt ever be categorized as rap. this album was a major step back after this last one.
