    Cole world is not a bad album... I got songs from there in my playlist. . I remember when it dropped, I didn’t think it was bad, I was satisfied with it. I hated work out tho.. work out gets no play from me. I can see somebody calling it a classic, that was a moment too, like Forest hills drive release. I still got my receipt from when I purchased the CD from Best Buy lol .

    I really love the Off Season, I love Cole's different flows. This album really doesn't have any skips

    Agree to disagree

    maybe trim it in half and it’d be good

    I personally think FHD is his only classic album at this point. I liked CW for what it was, his debut. But, it had a few missteps in that it’s not really the debut Cole wanted to give the fans, he had to comprise for it to be released. I think it would have been classic if Cole had final say about it.

    Born Sinner had the “hits” but it was missing that raw Cole, if you know what I mean. It was great commercially and it got him lots of new fans, but it was bit too commercial for me. I still liked the album though.

    FHD was first album that he truly made what he wanted to make with no label pressure. Just Cole making what felt good to him and what he was satisfied with and then releasing it. This is when I felt he got back to just being himself and only caring about the music and not outside opinions.

    I tried listening to polo g new album, cause I like to listen to all the new s--- when it drop, especially s--- that get a lot of attention, that’s what hit me first.. I couldn’t get through that album, I think it’s the melodic flow I just can’t get into, just like lil durk s---, he got that same melodic flow, I can’t get with it... nba young boy do that same s---..

    migos s---, them boys was spitting, they saying some hot s--- lol. I seen the s--- where the dude interviewing asked them what does straightening mean, I got exactly what they meant by it when I first seen the title of the song, idk if it’s a south thing or what , they speaking that lingo lol.

    Opposite for me, loved a bunch of tracks on the polo album. Migos just sounds like their regular recycled cookie cutter music

    Watched Party Lyfe video by Polo G and Da Baby and it was corny as h---. That style of video has been done a million times. And it even has the old white geezers dancing at the end. Seen it so many times before. No unique flows and melodies ain’t even that catchy. I don’t see the appeal.

    I don't know who Polo G is and Dababy been corny from the jump. You gotta scratch your head sometimes and wonder how these mediocre "artists" get so popular

    If y’all are looking for anything to watch on Netflix check out comedian Bo Burnham’s “Inside” special. It’s hilarious, introspective and also touches on some social and political issues, but not in a preachy way. The songs are creative and he actually has some bangers on there, too.

    I’m glad the Nets ain’t gone win a chip, i f--- kd , but that s--- was lame as h--- how they built that roster . I wouldn’t have respected it if they won..

    I wish kd harden and Westbrook won one in okc together.. if the team would’ve stayed the course I think they would’ve pulled it off eventually. I understand harden had to get his money tho
