    What is it with this whole "I made it in 2 weeks" bs. It shouldn't matter how long it takes as long as the product is worth it. Felt lazy to me.Guess maybe im not a huge fan. Whats the best song so far?

    I think FHD remains his best album but KOD is fire. If he releases another album this year I want him to top FHD and go in. So Kanye (or any of the elite rappers) needs to diss his a--- to bring the arrogant, non humble, cocky, I’m the BEST and not to be played with mentality on his next project. Enough of the humble s---.... just go off on s--- and n----s. That being said, I’m very happy that KOD is being received well.

    The hooks are clearly the weakest parts here. Like wtf dont he get someone else to do them. On FHD he atleast did them good, here for the most part they just bad

    Ayt sooo...

    I see what he was tryna do with this whole trap vibe and kinda migos flows on some of the earlier joints. He's trying to present a message to these young druggie kids in a form that they can listen to and ride to. Eventually the message will get through, I don't know about the general state of the youth in America but Cole is a pretty worldly dude and is involved in communities and with kids so it must have been a real problem that he came across time and again. The personal stories he told on this album prolly hit hardest and gave me nostalgia to his mixtape days. His rapping improved since then and the way he just takes a story and message is pretty unmatched in the game.
    Verses on FRIENDS and Brackets were dope but there were enough highlights to give this a light 8/10. We want Cole to be this perfect artist cos there's some obvious missteps that he takes. Personally thought a lot of the hooks were ayt, mainly in the second half but Photograph hook was trash. He went for this minimal sound but some of these hooks ruin the vibe of the song.

    ATM video easily his best music video to date. The Fall Off is prolly what he predicts for these lil whatever rappers, he just took apart their careers and said where they were gonna end up which was goat. It's not a new project, followed this dude long enough now to not trust him whenever he even teases something about new music, lying a--- hobo. @Henny did he actually say it was an intro to another project or did people assume? Overall tho, I'm with @heirmozhi Cole is an inspirer more than anything. I Get Up is prolly my favourite song of all time because of that and both of his last albums have very little of that. Him and drake would benefit a lot from making more positive rap songs like drake is starting to do now
