FNL and TWU both better than section 80 imo.

Pre TPAB it was definitely Kendrick.
After FHD and TPAB Cole got the nod over Kendrick. If Drake can't top FHD, I'll put Cole over him too. -

You should listen to The Warm Up and FNL
I dont think one is better than the other they can both tell a story and are good lyrically while being able to appeal to the commercial side, i think Cole was a lot better than Kendrick on the mixtape level TWU & FNL > OD & KLEP but Kendrick stepped up and GKMC was better than SS but Cole come with FHD which imo is better listening and has more replay value than TPAB.
I give it to Cole overall because he produces and writes everything i think people forget that sometimes when rating an artist as 'overall'J.T., pittsports87 and TGOdie like this.Jan 3, 2026(This ad goes away when signing up) -

If Section80 is a pending classic, I think it's more than fair to call FNL a classic. It has some of J. Cole's best work. The Warm Up isn't far behind it either.Jan 3, 2026(This ad goes away when signing up) -
