    It's 2017 and we're still talking about Cole's lack of a classic album smh. It's like the moment he gets better at one aspect of rapping, he becomes worse in another aspect. His writing recently has been amazing and top notch but then all of a sudden, the melodic hooks are nowhere to be seen. His most recent hooks have been lazily crafted. Idk why Cole can never go all the way with things smh

    To be honest, I can't answer this question because Idk what people think is the top 5 of this century and I probably never heard some of those albums. I just think FHD is great not just because it's relatable but because the music is good overall

    FHD's relatability factor is why it's a great album imo. Few rappers can be can do what he did on there. Still not a classic tho

    Awkward moment when you see artists from Dreamville tweeting happy birthday day to Cole, but nothing from the Dreamville account yet.

    I hope something comes tonight, but, I highly, highly doubt it.

    i guess its just my taste but when i go back to some old albums they mad overrated ...

    im not the type to hate on Jay-Z i respect him as one of the greatest but yes, i would take FHD over Black Album AND Blueprint

    Reasonable Doubt is a different story, THAT is a true classic

    not saying blueprint and black album are trash but they the type of things that just get overrated like as if they can't be touched just cause they're so revered for so long ...

    also a matter of taste of course cause like i said RD is a different story to me, but still, BP and Black album have multiple songs each that are mediocre (and if I'm going to be honest, even the classics don't really move me as much as they once did when i first heard them)

    the fact that he had no shame releasing that song and then it actually become a low-key hit and like one of the fan favourites is pretty d--- impressive if you think about it

    he performing that s--- at the concert and everyone rapping along word for word ...

    and i admit that its an awkward a--- song but thats part of what makes it so impressive that he has this awkward a--- theme and he made it into a hit, not many if any other rappers could do that

    really? you think so too?

    i thought so at first but if you think about it its pretty genius, it showcases the awkward theme in a creative way thats less awkward and instead funny/cute with viral potential and then of course the twist at the end

    pretty genius video tbh

    and I'm not trine be on coles d-ck right now as y'all seen i been on the opposite end of the spectrum lately but I'm giving the credit where its due with FHD

    Corny s--- almost always blows up bra. The high school crowd was bumpin wet drea
    my bro, blueprint and black album are the best albums from the best rapper of all time. Heart of the city, song cry, never change, u don't know???? Black album has PSA, dirt off your shoulder, Allure, lucifer, moment of clarity, dec 4th??? Cmon man. Jay z is the Jordan of rap.

    man cole fans need to stop playing down this guys music just because everyone else does FHD is so easily a classic the fact we are even having this conversation is just crazy to me. Just cause it aint the most lyrical dont mean it aint a classic there are so many aspects of rap that he excels on in this album and the lyrics aint even that bad he just picked storyteling over having a few witty metaphors in his lines. 1000s of people can write amazing lyrical 16s very few can story tell, create melodys, excecute a concept be relatable while still having some bars sprinkled in there. and im not saying lyrics arnt important they are but placing too much emphasis on it can skew you judjment. Hes making music not spitting 16s for a cypher in the park please remember that lool.

    And all the albums mentioned before all have flaws just like fhd had a couple there hasent ever been a perfect album and there probably never will be.
