This one lacks the world building and atmosphere of his other albums, but it still is full of quality.
The best "trap" album in history. The production is just so special. No skips, and it has some of Travis's best songs like 90210 and Nightcrawler.
A mixtape that has more misses than any of his studio albums, but the first 4 songs along with Skyfall ft Young Thug are insane. Drugs You Should Try It is peak asf!!!
Maybe an underwhelming mixtape, but also the moist OVERHATED project I've ever seen. Just bc of 7MD people wrote it off, but it wasn't important to the tracklist in the first place. Fever and HYB are the only skips, and this mixtape may have the best highlights of any 2024 rap album. Just incredible, Pricey, Crocodile Tearz, Pi, Sticks n Stones, 3001, Trae The Truth in Ibiza
Cole’s best display of pure rapping ability to date. While not quite as tight or conceptual as 2014 Forest Hills Drive, The Off-Season shines with its sharp lyricism and confident delivery. It’s a looser, more raw project that proves Cole’s skills are as strong as ever.
A classic concept album, a the outro is possibly the greatest rap song ever laid down. The first listen is peak shock value
2014 Forest Hills Drive is J. Cole’s most personal and defining album—a coming-of-age story wrapped in confident bars, soulful production, and deeply relatable themes. It’s Cole at his most focused, with no features, no gimmicks—just honesty, hunger, and perspective.
From the cinematic intro to the explosive closer “Note to Self,” the album tells the story of fame, reflection, and identity with real emotional weight. Tracks like “January 28th,” ... read more
Not on the level of his best albums, but it is still great. The big songs like Power Trip, Born Sinner, and Crooked Smile are amazing, the hooks are impressive.
Good - Great Album. Felt like a lot of FNL throwaways ironically. But it is still very good, with some nice highlights and some emotional moments.
Insane mixtape, CLASSIC. Some prime Jermaine songs such as Too Deep For The Intro, Before Im gone, Villematic, and Farewell.
Such a consistent mixtape. No all time Cole songs, which limits its rating. But so impressive for this time in his career.
Despite some flares of Kanye level production and some cool songs, it lacks what makes a Kanye album a "Kanye Album". The lyrics are atrocious, and the ideas are unoriginal.
Still some great songs like Burn, Beg Forgiveness, Problematic, and Do It.
A bloated album, why is this thing 27 songs without part 2s. But, there are so many incredible songs so I still consider it amazing.
I can appreciate the production and some cool songs, but it is by far his worst solo work.
Sounds unfinished, and just awkward. I respect the vision very much so!!!
SG is a concise, powerful project that packs a deep emotional punch in just seven tracks. The abstract, genre-blending production creates an otherworldly atmosphere that perfectly complements the album’s raw exploration of mental health, trauma, and redemption.
Kanye and Kid Cudi’s chemistry shines through as they navigate dark and vulnerable themes with honesty and creative risk-taking. While brief, Kids See Ghosts leaves a lasting impact through its bold sound and heartfelt ... read more
A super easy listen, with some amazing songs. Ghost Town and Violent Crimes are incredible.
A super concise experiment project from ye. Very abrasive, with some all time highlights like Black Skinhead, New Slaves, and Blood on the Leaves.
The most grandiose rap album ever made—no skips, just scale, vision, and execution at the highest level. It has at least three perfect classics, and another five that are absolutely insane. A maximalist masterpiece that pushed the boundaries of what hip-hop could sound like.
