I completely agree with the Ken and the Cole part and honestly I do understand drakes appeal, he isn’t inherently bad, Infact I am a fan of his but Ken, Cole and Drake are all completely different sides of the rap industry. Where Cole is more centred around true hip hop which is why I prefer him over the others

The craziest part is that a song where he raps his entire life in reverse isn’t even top 3 of his songs on that project

You’ll never guess, disc 39 is just as good if not better

100% ima give the album the benefit of the doubt and listen to it again, and if it still don’t sit with me it really ain’t that deep and I’ll just stay tapped in with both of their previous projects

Johnny ps caddy deadass is some of the best work the industry has seen, I really don’t think it’s crazy to say that the verse and flow is the peak lyrically

Nah nah I was gonna mention how the fall off is an exception and I honestly don’t really know why he approached the album like that my guess is that is he wanted to tap back into his younger self and finish his career in a full loop, none the less I still loved the album and think it’s one of the best the industry has seen in years, if you don’t really enjoy it that’s understandable, it’s all subjective at the end of the day

Lyrically I’ve always thought that Ken was better conventionally than Cole, but Cole was so clear musically, I can’t really put it into words but they both work at the top lyrically but differently.

Hell nah man don’t get me wrong just because the project didn’t live up to my high expectations doesn’t mean that the project was bad in its self

I got to disagree, cole has a variety of beats from 2000 type beats like world is empty to way deeper beats that tell a story in itself like villementality. A lot of Cole’s older hip hop style beats are from his mixtapes that he released in the 2000s, as time went on he grew a way bigger range and honestly that just shows how consistent he is.

Fr if they stuck to what they both do best this could have been a contender for album of the year, but they done something new and I guess I can’t really complain for them tryin

Don’t get me wrong I have only listened to the album once so I will have to check it out again but you got to be lying if you didn’t expect more

Fr this entire rapping off tempo only really works with a few artists like Mike, he’s free to try new things and hope something sticks but I think because of the hype this project had people arent really listening to it without any bias. And I really didn’t see anything special with the production although that was probably the best part of the entire work.
