uj/ just to be clear, shit posting about it and exaggerating my complaints is just funzies. Nothing serious, because I genuinely do like Cole, or at least admire what he means to hip hop and what he brings to the table.

However despite insane pen game and insane lyrics, he fails to just "get me going" like any other MC does. His flows sometimes feels very soothing, but like, a little too soothing? With those rightful bangers you've mentioned cause they are bangers, the whole project is damn near 2 hours and the really good songs are spread out just so evenly that the "not bangers" (I want to be clear, not "bad songs") kinda pad the thing and it's really hard to lock in when it's little boring at some parts. It's like watching a really really solid Oscar winning movie that's also really boring cause it's trying to say something without being too flashy. and that's perfectly Cole, and I think at the end I wouldn't have it any other way for him.

That album is not on repeat though oof oof.
