This by far the album I have debated over most with my friends . To me this album didn’t live up to the hype and I was disappointed. Cole had some big shoes to fill after “forest hills drive” and I don’t think he filled them. To me the album was just to boring and bland. I felt like it was putting me to sleep. I think he should have just released some of the songs like “immortal” as just singles. I do like cole and I do feel he is a great artist but it wasn’t enjoyable. You know your albums going down hill when you start rapping about doing the laundry.
Another debate I’d like to settle is Kendrick vs Cole. I would say Kendrick definetly is better. He is more consistent than cole and that’s what makes him on a higher level. They are both great lyricists but to be the best you need to be consistent aswell. Kendrick’s past albums have been amazing and Cole has seemed a hit or a miss.
