    f--- it, this my favorite Cole album. FHD is amazing, but Cole wasn't rapping like this (agression mixed with hunger and the storytelling),and it's just more concise. Imo.

    This album is fire. Gets better each listen. Maybe other albums like FHD and Sideline Story have songs that are better than any song here, but as a whole this s--- is probably more enjoyable than any of em. So... “best Cole album yet” Bliss stamp of approval confirmed. And now this dude wanna retire smfh

    So day two going through this album, the best unexpected element of this album for me is Bas. The way he manipulated his voice on those bridges and chorus’ are sooooo well done. I’m singing to them HEAVY in the car loool especially 100 mil.

    First Cole album I genuinely enjoyed and got better with each listen (aside from FHD)

    It’s not even a mind blowing album to me, it’s just good a--- music and enjoyable.

    My Life been my No. 1 song so far

    First album I genuinely enjoyed with no skips (I always enjoyed his album, but it was certain songs that I would skip) If I’m being honest on FHD, I would skip Hello or St. Tropez sometimes at first (still do at times). But this one, I just play it all the way through and like nothing makes me want to press skip.

    Even in the documentary,

    21:What made you say Off season.
    Cole: I had this mixtape called the warm up..

    He went back to Mohammed crib and just woke up and wrote raps and did beats everyday like back from his college days. He got back to the basics of what got him a deal and the sport of rap, just trying to get better each day.

    That was from 2016 - 4YEO. He talks about it in his Players Tribune column too. They went back for a scene in the doc but he wasn’t staying there for this album.

    edit: this was also an insane thing to do btw. Dude probably had 10’s of millions in the bank, superstardom, a wife, and a kid on the way. If it was literally any other artist, that story would’ve been pumped out there repeatedly to sell the album. The dude just did it just to do it and not for promo. The real, indeed.

    The climb back would have been better suited as the intro IMO. Never dropped it as a single months back & let that s--- Serve as the opening. The name is befitting. “This that come back to life s---”
