    We forget because we spend a lot of time on here but FHD is a classic to so many people. If those numbers about it being the third most streamed album of 2016 (2 years after it dropped) are true, it's almost unprecedented, especially without a hit single

    Yeah, FHD > 4YEO. FHD has something for everyone. It's so GOAT. But that's me personally. They are two different albums. FHD is really the culmination of Cole's whole life up till then. It's more broad and grand. Compared to 4YEO, which is obviously more personal and sticking to one theme and narrative consistently. I might have to go back to Born Sinner to see which of these three albums are lyrically the best.

    Yeah the latest is so good compared to his other projects. Mainly for me because it's less s--- lines. More focussed. More flows. However, I don't want you guys to sleep on BS lyrically. FHD is great but has its lapses that disappoint me. Apparently is the perfect example. First verse is so sick and concentrated. Then the second verse is typical lazy Cole. Ruins the track for me. 4YEO would have Apparently now and both verses with an extra one would be stellar.

    She's mine pt. 2 is super beautiful music. I play this s--- 86x in a row and just look at my daughter..& cry tears of joy. Cole the GOAT for this one.

    It's better, but it strays from the main point of the song

    Folding clothes last verse sheds new light on the whole song. It fits perfectly. Last verse is a braggadocios one that would fit on a feature, not a song showing appreciation to ur mom
