    Feel like 39 intro would've been a great way to close the album

    Like it as an intro tbh, starts it off with a b---, then end is kind of him finding peace with everything

    Yup, I love it and think it’s great. A bunch of bangers and deep personal tracks.

    Cole was always pretty bad at making albums IMHO, but there's some v good stuff on here.

    Lonely at the Top is incredible.

    His rapping is so, so good. Some of it just just feels bloated and a bit boring. But that's Cole for you, right?

    Been listening to The Fall Off lately.

    First J Cole album i have ever enjoyed. The last 5 or 6 songs on disc 39 get incredibly boring but the rest is pretty fire.

    He will always be just an average lyricist to me but he made some dope songs on this.

    Solid

    I love all the organic fan base interaction J. Cole has done with this project. At the end of the day, I just can’t respect anyone claiming to be the GOAT after tucking tail and running from the battle Royale to be the GOAT. I’m a fan of J. Cole, but all of these GOAT lyrics on this project just ring completely hollow at this point. It’s a complete lack of courage mixed with artificial bravado.

    Cole — next time you write a rhyme, how about you actually mean it?

    If you’re not capable of this, just retire. You’ve disgraced your legacy enough.
