    Surely didn’t s--- and was well received by the General public. Not saying it’s a masterpiece but it was a solid album from Cole. And he seems to be hitting a stronger stride with his quality features and rapping on ROTD3. He’ll never appeal to a certain demographic. I’m talking folks who’d rather listen to Blueface, 03 Greedo, JPEGMafia and that’s okay. Cole ain’t their cup of tea. He’s more traditional hip hop and not as stylistic

    nah im just kidding, I've actually started to appreciate Cole a lot more in the past 2 years or so. Could never understand what the hype was all about until I went back to listen to The Warm Up and FNL, then listened to his albums again with a whole new perspective. Then we he started on that feature run my interest was renewed. Impressed by the variety of artists he's been working with and his willingness to switch it up. KOD was ok imo, a few great highlights but I don't think the concept came together as well as it could have. I'mn no Cole expert but I way preferred FHD and 4YEO. He was f---ing outstanding on ROTD3 though and I'm definitley looking forward to seeing what he does next.

    Cole's piqued my interest for the first time since the early 2010s cuz of his features and ROTDIII, I think him expanding his palate in terms of collaborators has both rejuvenated him and helped catch the interest of people who weren't necessarily checking for him. I really did not like KOD though.

    I'm excited to see what he does next—though honestly I wish he'd stop with the no features thing cuz I think having some other artists to play off of and voices to switch up the POV would help add some flavor to his records. I'm not saying he needs to load it up with other rappers, but 2-3 guest verses would go a long way imo.

    @Sav Stanfield you forgot we finally got Ice Cube's Everythangs Corrupt!

    Honestly one of my favourite years for hip-hop. Everyone who was everyone wanted a 2018 release on their discog.

    Yep. Trump administration outsourced more American jobs. Tax cuts for the rich are crippling the economy and he’s not doing s--- to combat the climate change crisis.
