    1985 is disgustingly pretentious. It’s musics equivalent of someone who went to an Ivy League college claiming to be better than people who go to a state college or something.

    I've sounded like a broken record recently but just imagine how different this s--- would be if Mixed By Ali or 40 mastered this. I swear I heard some parts of this album where either a drum/snare or vocals were either too high or too low, for someone of Cole's stature this s--- bugs me. Sometimes I wonder if his loyalty to the rest of Dreamville is a double-edged sword (musically speaking).

    Alright, this album has WAY more layers than any of his older projects I thought. Let this s--- breathe... I myself am happy with it. I just wanted a new version of Cole on some 2018 style beats, that have bars which will take more than just a week or two to digest. Feel like we got that with this one.

    Cole is the best example of someone who let his ego get in the way of fulfilling his full potential. Sad! :snoop:

    I actually think this is the best mixed album in his discography but still not close to what Drake and Kendrick have. 40 is producing on and Executive producing Drake next album. That s--- gonna feel softer on your ears than baby lotion on your d-ck

    Definitely got to listen to this a few more times to get the full picture since its a concept album and not just songs thrown together.

    I will say though his hooks have took a downfall since FHD, im not even sure a singer could save some of these joints. I have a feeling he just freestyled a bunch of them to keep them simple and laid back to fit the album. I want to ask the die hards in here, do ya'll really enjoy the singing and s--- he does? I'm sure a bunch of ya'll went to his last album tour where he had plenty of those records incorporated in the show. I low key get embarrassed when I hear him struggle sing.

    k--- edward > your favorite singer

    This is shaping up to be the best album in Drake's discography fam. Never heard him having that much fun with music as on these 2 singles and a Look Alive feature

    It is actually a disaster for Cole. Most of the fans, are fans because of relatability. Now he isolated them, guys who are into mumble rap will just go listen to good sounding trap/mumble rap. We have always said it but this has confirmed no one ever questions Cole in his clique

    So is Cole trying to parody all the rappers he hates on this project or what?
