Listening to every J Cole album pt. 10

This is Coles biggest shitpost ever, this serves zero purpose. I really do get the argument that this is Cole trying to make a Drake album, and I agree for the most part.

Overall it's decent, but it definitely could've been better.

I do however like the turning point in the middle of the record. And I do think that Cole says some worthwhile stuff on this album, so in other words it succeeds at a lot of stuff outside of the ... read more
