    Why is he even going at Eminem? s--- weird, unless it’s some s--- going on behind the scenes we don’t know. Before now he had nothing but good s--- to say about em , now he at his neck lol. Em was even on his debut

    Rocky doesn’t really say anything in his raps. He raps about wearing fly clothes, getting a lot of women and drugs and gun raps. Those topics are ok to rap about but you gotta dig deeper at times. It gets old. Tell a story involving those things and evoke emotions of listeners. He’s got some dope s--- but he’s nowhere near Cole. He can’t ever make a song like Change, 4 Your Eyez Only or Love Yourz.

    f---in Problems is his biggest song and I like it…not exactly hard to come up with that type of content though. Cole can make songs like that but catchier and also drop the s--- I mentioned above.

    Rocky don't be saying a d--- thing in his songs. His place in rap is his own fault, too worried about being fashionable and getting high.

    I love Ari Video for Hoodie but I don’t like the song as a single.
    I need Cole to get back in his producer bag. I wish he were more hands on with his artists.

    I think it’s more of a promo single like Whipped Cream. It’ll be on the album, but not meant to be radio friendly. Two dope radio friendly songs BMO and Shea Butter Baby feat. Cole were the main singles off her debut.

    Just listened to all the studio albums back-to-back on a road trip. Here’s how I have it tiered:

    1. KOD

    2. FHD
    3. Offszn

    4. 4YEO

    5. BS

    6. CWSS

    I can’t believe it either. KOD has no bad songs and some truly excellent ones. It’s the most sonically consistent and combines all of his strengths the best. The songwriting is amazing, he grew so much on that record with how he formats songs and all the ways he can use his voice. I also love k--- Edward, gotta say.

    I think, as of now, he has 4 great albums. If you want to include FNL, that’s 5. Dreamville album has aged like wine. I love the Truly Yours series.

    Watched the Woodstock 99 doc on Netflix and it was amazing. Shame there were greedy a--- promoters who cut costs and didn’t provide reasonably priced food and water and not enough security and toilets. It was on them that s--- got so bad. The frat bros were also a problem. Can’t control who buys a ticket though. There’s always gonna be assholes in the crowd. Jack up prices, don’t provide enough security and toilets = s--- show.

    This would’ve been amazing to see live though

    If 2007 can’t make the album cuz of samples, they should’ve just figured out a way to rework it. It’s too perfect.

    Work Out is a gem through and through. Just came on shuffle. Kinda sucks Nas opened his mouth about it and Cole took it so personally. It’s a feel good summer song. Nothing wrong with having those types of songs. Nas could use some in his catalogue. All about the balance and Cole has it arguably better than anyone

    Song corny lol. That’s one Cole song I’ll never listen to on my own lol. Probably could’ve been better in certain spots.
