It's got some decent tracks tbqh but the mid section of the album is so so boring

first 3 tracks and the last 2 tracks are good (bordering really good) - the rest are forgettable and worthless imho

I liked 3 tracks from it, other than that it felt really lame. Especially compared to Untitled Unmastered.

>Everyone at my school likes it
And? A bunch of teenagers like someone popular, that's nothing new.

>The only people that don't are stupid
Nice logic

People like him because he's "woke" and raps about "real shit".

That's a stupid opinion, most people that say that, haven't even listened to good hip-hop, I used to think like you till I listened to MF DOOM or ATCQ.

It's a phrase that kids ask you when you whip out your phone because they wanna play games on your phone, and likely don't have one of their own. The guy is saying that J Cole is dressing like a kid now.

People just realised he is barely above average. His recent released suffered hard from samey sound and only a few of the songs were half decent.

The production alone in the re-release is a great reason as to why it deserves to be there. The highs and lows of the chorus sections are amazing in it's own right. The fact that there are soo many subtle sounds throughout the album give it character.

Personally, I enjoyed this albums a lot. It isn't objectively an outstanding or perfect album, but it is a good representation and starting point into where music should go to be expanded upon within the genre. At least for my tastes.

>>69589860
so many shitty and just mediocre tracks

>>69589922
While I agree, the ones that were good were outstanding and did make the album up for me. If anything, in my list it is the least worthy of being up there, but I still feel I enjoyed it enough that it should be somewhere in the top.

How so? It looks like you haven't listened to much hip hop, from this year at least, so what makes you say that?

>>69589860
I liked it too. Ultralight Beam, Famous, Saint Pablo are great tracks. It's just not a good *album* in the way his other ones are

>>69590032
Choir sounds and subtle sounds from genres outside of funk, hiphop and jazz. Trust me, I have listened to a lot of hiphop this year, that doesnt validate my opinion, but I would love more hiphop with soulful mixes and a larger presence of gospel sounds.

Well of course, I subjectively think it is a contender, objectively speaking however, you could argue that it isn't on the calibar of something like Danny, Tribe and such.
