My ONLY gripe is his incessant use of the N word but, unfortunately, he is not the first nor the last rapper to do so. I'm actually surprised Pitchfork gave him such a mediocre rating. This album seems right up their alley. Oh well. Such a well-crafted album and better than 99% of the high-profile rap albums to come out this year, including ones that have yet to drop. It's one thing to make an album full of fake depth in order to try to show people how "real" you are and it's another to live and breathe it. The overusage of the n-word is a turn-off, but this is a great project based on the snippets that I have heard.

Wow! For many as Adele's manager stated streaming is the new way. Everyone can't remove that kind of platform like Taylor

Singles and features served him well in the past; the quality of the music needs to be elevated regardless. But I'm ecstatic for his success.

Wow. Cole's going to be Gold in like 1 week. The RIAA doesn't count streaming for album certifications. Hopefully, he'll scan 500k (Gold) next week.

Just purchased this at Best Buy! Still on sale for $9.99. Definitely one of my top albums of the year and next year.

Does "Wet Dreamz" have the same sample as Jazmine's "Holding You Down"? I'm living for this song right now. It's in my top 5 from this record!

Damn, Jermaine and Fab! I was not expecting that high of a debut for Fab with a digital EP. He needs to quit playing and drop Loso's Way 2 already.
