    Nah, A LOT of people disliked it when it first came out.
    Mostly for trying to live up to Kanye's Workout Plan.

    I didn't care for BS (veeeery forgettable / mediocre) but I play Rich N***** from time to time, I really liked the beat and it's a chill song.

    This was his breakout single though. The purists disliked it. But it got him to the mainstream.

    It's pretty obvious which group I am speaking for. Not to mention Lights Please and In The Morning were pretty huge songs despite not being Billboard hits. Who Dat had flopped and Work Out got a lot of criticism from the "purists". I like it though. Probably more than The New Workout Plan tbh.

    Cole is not a good producer, he just knows how to ride the beats to his own songs and makes it work.

    Is him NOT being boring an unpopular opinion?

    I think the fact that Cole tries to "play the game" is his gift and his curse. He has a broader fanbase because of it, but this makes his music very accessible to extreme opposite type of rap fans who may not be very open to s--- that doesn't fit what they like. Ie. backpackers that hate anything that isnt real hip hop and mainstream dudes that think anything that wouldn't get live at a club is boring.

    Born Sinner is indeed great. The most solid concept of an album I ever heard. I would dare say musical perfection. I enjoyed it from start to finish and it's farther from 'forgettable' to me. Plus...Truly Yours 3 (special edition bonus tracks) were fire as as s--- to me. Miss America? Is She Gon Pop? Bruh...

    I couldnt get into his last album to be honest, i loved the first 3 or 4 songs, but aftet that i couldnt endure his singing that is god awful (even though he can sing great at times, but this isnt one of those times).
    I can understand the hype over the album.. i love how it was released & things, but i was left disappointed..

    Ive been rocking with him since The Warm Up, so i consider myself a big fan of him (even though i never really mention it).. he is capable of so much more, i remember when Friday Night Lights dropped & i fell in love instantly, i was hoping i could say the same about his last album.




    Friday Night Lights > The Warm Up > Cole World > Bord Sinner > Truly Yours 1,2 & 3 > The Come Up > 2014 FHD



    The Come Up contained the best song he as ever made, ''Lil n-----''
    His singing on that was perfect & the rapping was on point... i wish it got an untagged release.

    If anything, Coles ability to produce is his strength.

    everyone in here seems to like Hello so i guess im the unpopular opinion when i think its one of the worst songs off FHD.
    also yeah i dont get how everyone says he's boring? maybe its just for jokes on twitter but i dont hear the opposite often.

    Though Born Sinner was a great album, i listen to this more, because this is the cole i fell in love with when i was 14 back in 09. The unpolished style that i could relate to & stanned like f---.

    I combined the 3 Truly Yours. I called it ''Truly Yours: The Born Sinner Sessions''. Props whoever made the cover.
