    Cozz needed a lot of work on that song. His flow is irritating on it honestly. Then Jermaine comes in like "no, do it this way" lol

    Seems like Drake ain’t even trying anymore. He’s on autopilot. His new songs aren’t bad. They’re just standard Drake songs. And they ain’t even close to touching The Climb Back or Lion King on Ice.

    Laugh Now cry later video is cool but song sounds like an old, standard Drake cut

    Drake stopped trying with Hotline Bling. His music has been mediocre for years imo.

    Dude, yes...easily. Even my wife, casual music listener, thinks so. Cole’s flow and wordplay on verse 1 is better than that whole song. Hook is even better than laugh now cry later. And laugh now cry later beat is a Great Value T-Minus.

    Laugh now cry later = drake on autopilot. No effort and he doesn’t sound inspired like Cole.

    the climb back is a must for me. I don’t listen anymore so it’ll be fresh if it’s on the album

    Say what? They’re both album worthy. The Climb Back is top-notch Cole. Lion King on Ice content fits with what Cole is going with for the fall off...
    “I need y'all to see every part of me
    Every scar and every artery
    Every story that I can recall, then I can fall”

    plus he’s flowing his a--- off on it

    Drake makes his songs like 5 mins and no tempo or melody switch. Justified in saying his music his boring at this stage

    I like both songs but I prefer Lion King On Ice. I just don't think that the new songs are better than most of the songs on Cole's previous albums

    4 more months in the year, Kendrick is nowhere to be found lol.. if we go into 2021 and he still ain’t dropped another album or an ep or even a single or something, n----s gotta stop mentioning him.. his work ethic is bad af , somebody gotta call him out on it.. you can’t go this many years between albums like he do, every other year is about right for to drop a project. Really the way cole does it is perfect

    mfs still mention him with Cole and drake as tops in the game but that n----- been ghost like a mf. I guess that says a lot too , knowing he ain’t dropped nothing but still get put up there, but n----s gotta call him out on it fr, joe budden podcast or something

    I feel you i like the lyrics on the first verse of LKOI but overall it's just really weak to me. It's a poor single & a far cry from being a hit like middle child hence why it flopped. Hook is boring as h---, beat feels hollow and muted kinda depressing really, only Cole can make a beat with t minus & Jetson and come out with that lol. Cole's experimentation with autotune was horrific once again, he could learn a thing or two from Durk about how to use that s---. Basically autopilot Drake>>>'inspired' Cole when it comes to making hits. And Tminus ain't made a beat as good as LNCL since like 2012 you trippin' bruhh!

    But I don't really care though because the climb back is GOAT & one of Cole's best ever songs so I'm satiated.

    Drake going to number one because he's Drake and that's the problem. He needs a major flop to force him to re
    I don't think Cole made LKOI thinking it was going to be a hit though. Middle Child, I could see a fair argument there but LKOI, nah.
