J.Cole’s third album is his best to date. The album is an interesting
one. Its incredibly introspective. It’s a little more creative than Born
Sinner, which was a great album, but perhaps a little too long. Here, Cole raps
about him losing his virginity, the increasing amount of white rappers in the game,
and even the lack of role models today. Lyrically he’s sounds very focused. His
R&B crooning on certain parts of the album is actually pretty effective.
The production is also very good and helps the album stay very cohesive. Some
may still complain that he’s kinda of boring but I disagree. The album is all
about J. Cole, but it doesn’t really come off like most rap albums do. It’s a personal
journey and fun to listen to. J.Cole was the future of rap…but now its his
time.
