“Aww, dang it!”

Pretty good project but in hindsight was the start of the tragic Impala downfall. He peaked instrumentally at Lonerism and vocally at Currents, and this was were the falloff began to set in.

Top ten album cover of the decade. He really IS Baby Keem.

39 -> 87
I thought this day would never come, yet here we are. I feel equally surprised and ashamed. I PROMISE I’m straight.

The perfect album for Valentine’s Day. *sad Bart Simpson edit*
This basically the same thing as Gluee, just without the highs of Unreal or Deletee which is why I narrowly prefer Gluee.

A perfectly mid tape. Nothing bad, nothing good either.

Bro is 50 Cent 💀

I was fully expecting not to like this. None of the singles hit, the album has piss in the title, and why are the songs so short?! There’s no way this is a recipe for success.

…Well, it turns out, it is. There’s something beautifully intimate about inderludes. They feel so purposeful, like every second counts, and I feel like Joji captures this very well during the first three fourths of this project. (The last three tracks sound like how I thought the whole album would ... read more

Suprisingly smooth listen, considering (with all due respect to Mr. Hendrix) it’s an hour and a half of Future.

By the way, I Serve the Bass is THE first rage song and I’m willing to argue that. (Although the amount of recent rage songs that reference it is evidence enough)

Why wasn’t billys verse in French >:(

PRETTY MID LISTEN (DRUGS!)

Ok so I REALLY need to get into more post rock cus this is 18 minutes of pure gas

As long as they’re not rapping it’s awesome. When they let the production speak for itself (which is thankfully most of the time) it really shows off how amazing and under appreciated Witch House is as a genre.

Why couldn’t more people have been like “man I really wanna rap over some witch house beats” in 2013

Chopping my screw to this

SURELY High Anxiety was the limit
SURELY it can’t get crazier from here

Listening to The Fall Off and not liking it that much made me realize that this is actually his best album.
I think Cole really nailed the balance between dense meaning and strong sonic appeal here. It’s also very short and digestible, a quality in J. Cole’s music I’m now more appreciative for than ever.

I think what we can learn from MUSIC and Don’t Be Dumb is that how long an album takes to make doesn’t necessarily dictate how good it will end up being.
As per the custom, Cole’s writing across this album is awesome and it really feels like he’s challenging himself here. But like, did this have to be nearly TWO HOURS long? Definitely not, considering how uninteresting most of the beats on this album are. By track 19 I was tired of hearing Jermaine’s voice.

Broo I’ve been WAITING for Quaceca to drop a project like this. Every time he’s done an ambient track in the past it’s been so ethereal
Also ty for learning to swim on streaming :)
