    Hey everyone, my name is Djaji, I'm a YouTuber and I recently mad a video looking comparatively at Born Sinner, and Forest Hills Drive, as part of my weekly series "Music Versus". Sort of a review/ comparison of both albums. Cole showed a great amount of growth btw Born Sinner and Forest Hills Drive.

    Hope you guys enjoy the video, and let me know what your thoughts are!

    Shut it off when you called J and the Snakes corny based on one line. But I guess you got the click you wanted outta me.

    Forest Hills Drive > Born Sinner

    "Let Nas Down" = worst J. Cole song ever.

    You kinda did the same thing by clicking off because of one comment, and ignored all the positive things I said about Cole.

    We don't always have to see things the same way, it's just an opinion.

    I like "Let Nas Down" tbh, Fela sample has a lot to do with that.

    BS is good tho, lots of great tracks tbh.

    It's basically him sucking up and apologizing for making a hit song that J. Cole fans didn't like to Nas. The beat is good but the lyrical content is s---.

    Don't get me wrong, BS is a decent album. It's just that everything it did FHD did way better.

    I also agree Forest Hills Drive is better. Only good songs in Born Sinner: Power Trip, Crooked Smile, Forbidden Fruit and She Knows. Sparks Will Fly is decent too.

    Ain't That Some s--- is a thing that exists on a studio album. So that's not true.
