    Swallowing pride is one of the hardest things for a man to do.. I'm learning that.

    "I think my foolish pride might become my suicide"

    It sure is young sir. I learned the hard way. Lost the best thing (my ex) that ever happened to me. Couldn't swallow that s---. I can't blame Cole for not swallowing his. He's still eating tho so it's not that big of a detriment. He could be even greater tho.

    The most f----- up thing about that is not ever knowing when is the right time to do that and when it's not.

    Y'all need to chill for real. I understand the complaints for CW:TSS and BS but not for FHD.

    I get were y'all are coming from with the pride thing but y'all acting like he didn't have two Vinylz beats on this album who has been a co-producer on almost every Boi-1da beat in recent memory til today.

    Cole has worked with a bunch of other people that didn't make the album. Its not pride anymore. Its the love of the craft. He loves producing because he loves the craft and its a part of him. He's a rapper and producer, period.

    Kendrick sounds like he was in that Be Free state of mind when recording this for sure. There's no limit to this guy's creativity

    This song got me feeling like FHD was some kinda diet cola lounge type-a music

    No I know I'm just saying these criticisms are the same and y'all don't give him a break.

    A bunch of people on JCN thought Cole would pull a produce the whole project again and he had outside production on 6 of the 13 tracks.

    At least its progress. There are many great beats out there. Cole can't be on every one.

    I feel ya. In terms of your "at least it progress" comment, nighas attention spans are too short. We want and need instant gratification.

    This is really really cool.
    If you filled in his hair a little bit more that would be my only critique off top.

    Thanks! I did that originally but they told me to make it look more like individual brush strokes so thats what I went with. Over time I grew to like it more anyway.

    Yeah, I see your point. That was just nitpicking anyways. It looks dope for your first try.

    @Luke

    I f--- with it. Only thing (and this is me being picky) is I'd say the lips should stand out more

    But salute! The OG Young GOAT
