Great gym trap banger, and it was a great return to form single for Cole after ‘KOD’, to prove he’s still capable of making hits.
This mf won the rap album Grammy over Kanye, was the last male to win best new artist, and was the first Grammy win for digital-only album, then he dropped ‘The Big Day’…
Listened to this again after watching the Kanye Netflix documentary. One of the most life changing albums of all time. ‘Through the Wire’ is still to this day a top 10 song ever to me, no wonder Pharrell Williams was so stunned, his reaction was just walking out the door speechless.
I legit enjoyed 2/3rd’s of the first 9 tracks, so it was a decent start for the most part. Unfortunately, the quality takes an overall nosedive, with majority of the tracks just being really painfully mediocre or just flat-out bad, with the exception being ‘8am in Charlotte’.
