    This lyrical miracle nonsense over a cherished Mobb Deep sample is like nails on a chalkboard.

    Lonely At The Top is excellent. Should’ve been the thesis of the album — a much more coherent, compelling, and relevant narrative than whatever this bloated project became.

    About 3/4 of the way through…Old Dog is also quite good.

    d--- bro yall aren’t f---ing with it?? I haven’t fully finished yet because I had an 8 AM (that I’m typing from right now lol) but I’ve been enjoying it so far. I’ll likely give it all another spin tonight after I finish my first spin and get home, maybe I was moving off excitement and tiredness last night

    All these monotone singing songs with guitars and s--- were ridiculous. I was expecting a rap heavy album not these lullabies. Half the album feels like the same song over and over again

    As much as we have heard the “hip hop is a woman I love” type of concept, I Love Her Again is definitely up there as one of the best uses of that concept

    Well I've listened to disc 29 and it was bad lol very boring.... idk why Cole doesn't hop on more bangers because when he does do that, he's one of the best in the game.
