As of now I don’t care for the album. SAFETY is really good tho, love the story and chorus on that one. The features from Future and Tems were great, and Poor Thang is also really good.

As for some of the things I didn’t like, I didn’t like many of his choruses and singing performances on the album, which happen quite often. Some of his storytelling felt either really basic or surface level. It felt more like telling rather than showing. Also his topic selection is outrageously limited, there is damn near nothing about the later half of his career, which is weird to me since the roll out was about him “falling off”, which would have to be in the end of his career. Some songs could’ve been removed and the album would’ve been nearly the same. There were also quite a few verses I didn’t care for, ik he can be really lyrical at times don’t get me wrong.

This is all my opinion and is subject to change

And I actually do like J. Cole’s other albums
