Em has Revival, Kendrick has Mr Morale, Drake has Honestly Nevermind and now Cole has this

This lyrical miracle nonsense over a cherished Mobb Deep sample is like nails on a chalkboard.

Lonely At The Top is excellent. Should’ve been the thesis of the album — a much more coherent, compelling, and relevant narrative than whatever this bloated project became.

About 3/4 of the way through…Old Dog is also quite good.

Second disc has too much singing.

d--- bro yall aren’t f---ing with it?? I haven’t fully finished yet because I had an 8 AM (that I’m typing from right now lol) but I’ve been enjoying it so far. I’ll likely give it all another spin tonight after I finish my first spin and get home, maybe I was moving off excitement and tiredness last night

All these monotone singing songs with guitars and s--- were ridiculous. I was expecting a rap heavy album not these lullabies. Half the album feels like the same song over and over again

 

Feb 6, 2026 at 9:35 AM

29 intro
Two six

As much as we have heard the “hip hop is a woman I love” type of concept, I Love Her Again is definitely up there as one of the best uses of that concept

 

Feb 6, 2026 at 10:09 AM

This tems song at this point.. she sound good as h---.. naw, this song kinda hit lol

 

Feb 6, 2026 at 10:12 AM

Ok, legacy kind hit too now.. maybe it was too late for all that singing lol
