The Warm Up

Intro (The Warm Up) - Sets up one of my favorite mixtapes of all time, absolutely beautiful, chilling instrumental. 100/100
Welcome - Goes insanely hard, the sample is beautiful and Cole raps like rent was due two weeks ago, which probably was, absolutely amazing. 100/100
Can I Live - Bars everywhere, beautiful beat, even though the song is about his experience as a rapper, it's so easy to relate to what he's saying, that's what I love most about these songs, how human Cole's writing is. 100/100
Grown Simba - Another one, he just won't stop, there's something so satisfying about his flow, you really can't go wrong with this album, but this personally isn't my favorite track here, that being said, I still think its objectively an. 100/100
Just To Get By - Shorter, more interludish song, lowkey not bad, some great bars here, 90/100
Lights Please - I don't really like the beat here, but the message this song carries is not talked about enough, genuinely a highlight and I wish more people would talk about it. 89/100
Dead Presidents II - It's crazy how Cole can just get on Jay's beat and go harder than him, genuinely the best interpretation of Dead Presidents. 100/100
I Get Up - Beautiful track, I love the whole hustle vibe this album has, song may be a bit too long but it doesn't really do damage. 100/100
World Is Empty - CRAAAAAZY beat, and Cole's flow on this does not dissapoint, the bars he comes up with here are crazy, another classic. 100/100
Dreams - I genuinely love the feelings he expresses on here, the storytelling is amazing, it really speaks to me how he deals with this situation, the chorus is insanely catchy too, overall. 100/100
Royal Flush - Extremely catchy, though kinda average. 80/100
Dollar and a Dream II - The lil high pitched voice is kinda annoying, but that aside, this is a banger, can't go wrong with this album. 90/100
Water Break (Interlude) - One of the best interludes I've ever listened to, this goes crazy, that stupid beeping sound is NOT it though. 90/100
Heartache - How can this song be so good I'm actually speechless, and just when i thought it couldn't get better, that hook kicked in. 100/100
Get Away - Don't really feel this one like that, while the lyricism is great, the beat is just not it for me, not a bad song regardless. 87/100
Knock Knock - Really chill track, I don't know why he didn't make it longer. 87/100
Ladies - Another banger he just keeps doing it. 90/100
Til' Infinity - Classic, easily my favorite take on this beat. 99/100
The Badness - One of my favorite songs of all time, the vulnerability he shows here is unmatched, also Omen's verse is pretty good. 100/100
Hold It Down - Nothing crazy, but still an overall good track, I like the topics he touches. 90/100
Last Call - Taking Kanye's beat and making something on his level would be some rapper's highest achievement, but for Cole it was just the beggining. 100/100
Losing My Balance - Couldn't think of a better ending for this mixtape, absolute cinema. 90/100

Overall, this mixtape will always be my favorite of all time, it's extremely personal to me and I wouldn't go anywhere below 100/100, the perfect mixtape, this carried my lowest times and I'm proud of it, thank you Cole.
