I think Cole is a better lyricist than kendrick after a couple of spins, the songs form perfectly in each other like it's a book or movie with a beginning and ending (that's why you also hear the tape recorder clicks). Kendrick is just full of energy in is delivery

You can't compare this album to views. This is a pure concept album. There is an entire story. It is like a book and each song is a chapter. It's not the same type of album as views. That is like comparing apples to oranges.

Every track is like a scene in a movie, Foldin Clothes is like a humorous scene to cheer up the movie

Just finished the album for the first time without interrupting it or replay some tracks.
Album is the best work of Cole. Musically, lyrically, in the concept and the way it's executed. It's short, for the demographic who don't know him. But I feel it's an album for him, for his core base.
He reflects on previous songs and stories. Some stories evoke 3 wishes, 03 adolescence, 3rd verse of Breakdown and way way more songs. And those references can be seen in the way he wrote. His writing is dense reminding the way he wrote on the Warm Up. At the same time, it's way astonishing the way he increases how he wrote and his delivery.
Musically, he came back on his roots. It's organic by the same manner he wanted at his debut in the beginning. He always wanted to create from the scratch beats but for some reason didnt do it.

The only problem for this album, beyond his shortness, it's the context in the game. Kendrick open the lane at the eye of the industry. So this album may sound as something not innovative. Too many people will say in the execution that it's a dying of thirst on ten tracks with the innovative sound of TPAB. BUT IT'S NOT, because of "gave you the blueprint, dont forget" and the history between Cole and Kendrick we known where he helps him and gave him even some verses.
But Cole doesnt give a single f--- of this. That's why it's an album for him. I dont know if you feel this at the beginning where he was shy and not ready for the industry. It's in his personnality. With FHD, he exorcised his demons and find the way to live in this industry.

That's why when you'll play this, you have to come back to his previous work to fully understand not only his career but his life. It may sound cliche but he really poured out his heart as he never made.

P.S: It's my humble opinion, and this is definitely better than TPAB. It's okay if you don't get it. In life, the way we appreciate things depends of our social, psychological conditions.

Deja Vu would've been perfect for Drake. It's dope regardless but, Drake would've fit perfectly on it

Make me wonder was Drake on it..

That is the beat boi1da and vinylz produced

s----s too much, its like the pinnacle of a cole storytelling track

the beat and vibe is just perfect

Drake coulda executed Foldin Clothes better too.

That song is like Coles attempt at Childs Play.

If you a Cole fan you can hate this album and even this song. But this is really Coles esssence. That song is why I'm a fan. Incredible.
