    Cole just a poor mans, more accessible Kendrick at the end of the day.

    Watched the doc last night, High For Hours and that song he played on there are better than half of 4YEO. s--- was only 10 tracks no idea why this dude didn't put them on there.

    Those songs don't fit with the narrative of the album.

    How about Cole is Cole and Kendrick is Kendrick? Both are dope in their own ways. Lucky to have em both in the game right now.

    Just that they're very similar in their subject matter and production for the most part.

    True. They have their own styles. Kendrick is more animated and hyper active. Cole is more laid back and melodic on the mic, which kinda makes him more accessible to everyday listeners.

    Sometimes to troll Eminem fa----s. Fam I cut down that song to 3 plays a day max, I'm tryna keep it fresh for the summer. I can already envision myself wasted on the verge of death, keeping my 5s on my ear and yelling the lyrics from the bottom of my soul every single night

    I was just bout to say its a perfect summer-getting-drunk song. I would probably get f----- up to this song this weekend, but s--- is looking more like turning some Take Care Drake next to a fireplace. :laff:
    I can already see myself playing this song 5 years from now and catching some summer nostalgia. Swae Lee's voice is perfect for the song.

    Lmao I got back in shape bro fast af. I started smoking more and more too. I don't give a f--- what happens anymore, fell into some weird space where nothing really excites me and I don't really look forward to anything, I just live :laff:

    Swae did better Weeknd on that track that Weeknd could do himself. We need more solo Swae asap.

    But bro if we don't do it now, how and when will we do it?! Now its the perfect time for that. You have to live.
    After watching some Rae Sremmud stuff only I realized the only way they are successful is because of Swae, bro is killing hooks left and right. Melodies are also nice af.

    Word. All I know is that I'm doing only liquor and weed. You can keep that synthetic s---. This dude I know did coke 4 times last weekend in one night and he recovered fully yesterday. Couldn't open his mouth properly and s---. f--- that.

    Rae Sremmurd are cool, but their beat selection got worse. They need to go all the way pop, not that half a--- bs. Swae as a solo artist is one of the best in the game.

    I've seen some stupid s---, but it never took my interest, I don't really understand why would you do stuff like that to yourself. I get that the sensation is outworldly and indescribable, but bro it is destroying you with every use. smh. I can even try to understand the weekend use, but when it gets out of hand with weekday usage then you have to pray you pull yourself out.
    Do we consider weed a drug anymore?! I see more and more people smoking in the middle of the street without giving a single f---.

    So just watched the documentary. Was pretty cool, they showed it at a theatre(er) here in London and surprised at the amount of people that turned up with like no promo, people really like this homeless guy. I liked the intention of it, shining a light on people who don't have a voice and showing their struggles. But I felt every time u were getting a feel for one person's story, Cole would just bump one of his 4YEO tracks and interrupt it. Initially it was cool watching the videos and listening to the songs in a different context but it almost got to the point where it felt like he was just mainly using this doc to promote the album. Of course that was one of the main intentions of it but it was almost like the songs took centre stage and the stories were like the filler. It only scratched the surface of the issues that they were talking about. I guess also the message of the songs help to fill in to the whole narrative.

    Another thing is the whole depressed vibe that Cole brings to this which a lot of u guys mentioned. Again I'm sure Cole is completely genuine in his intentions but it's almost like he's playing a bit of an act to actually portray the struggles that he's been seeing when he's travelled around. Imo it's a bit patronising to the people living there cos they're just living life and striving for better things. The least u can do is to smile and spread joy to people which I didn't really get the impression he was doing. When u see people struggling, it's one thing to give them a voice but u have to do everything u can to uplift their spirits as well and this whole vibe just seems a bit odd. The bit at the end with the young grandma was great and something we should have seen more of. For a guy who talks about God a lot, you'd think he would try to be more uplifting.

That s--- with weed is funny af tho, dudes be walking casually through the city in the middle of a work day and not giving a f--- cause everyone seems to have enough of this f---ing shity a--- country we live in :laff:
