    Really dumb closing. Lupe did this too on his first album. Why couldn't he have incorporated the names in a rap verse? Would have been much better.

    Cole needs to realise he isnt a great singer. At times he uses his singing limitations to his advantage, ie.. Lil Ghetto n-----, which is top 5 cole songs of all time & my favourite J.Cole track, but singing throughout a song is just underwhelming.

    I'm sure he knows that he doesn't sound like JT, but the s--- works. The hooks are really good.

    yeah, unfortunately i find it pretty underwhelming.


    The beats are amazing though.

    Maybe my opinion will change, but right now im not fond of the second half of the album, the first half contains all of the beats tracks, if the tracks from the first half were scattered throughout the album id probably enjoy the album more, as its a struggle for me to play the second half after hearing the first half.

    Maybe I am slightly, I'm still in disbelief this n----- make a good album [​IMG]

    Strong 8/10 right now for me. It would be higher if the outro wasn't a waste of 14 minutes.

    Just a great album. And yeah when I heard the baby crying at the end of Jan 28th, that theory got a little more cohesive with me.

    Very solid project. Fire Squads beat is vicious. Reminded me a bit of Bimmer from Tyler, The Creator only sped up. Similar sound to it.
