    Replay value is a big thing for me and I'm not feeling it on either of these. Lkoi has better value for me but just find the beat really minimal and not enough for a single. I guess I'm judging it in what singles should be. I can see climb back being a great intro track on the album tho

    He hasn’t resonated with me since Life Is Good, which came out eight years ago. I didn’t like Nasir or Lost Tapes 2. Hopefully Kong’s Disease is better.

    Got the chance to listen again KOD et 4YEO and I just came to the realization where Cole uses as the end of his album since 4YEO is the story of a girl or for a girl as a comeback to innocence
    The Fall Off, when I listen The Climb Back, will be about Cole gaining back his innocence

    By the way, 4YEO is a classic. The way Cole creates confusion around the fact that the story is his story or James is incredible.

    I love Action Bronson as a rapper and person. He’s an entertaining guy who enjoys life. I’d like to hear some introspective cuts from him though. Some stories about his upbringing and experiences. People wouldn’t expect it from him and he has the talent to execute those types of tracks well.

    Since I saw his show in Paris, I want to have a deep conversation with him around a good diner
    But it's clear he is not that introspective rapper
