[gllahone84]

You the player yeah I'm the coach here

 

[iverson3]

I agree with majority of you guys. Truly yours 3/bonus is FLAMES! CD is OK but all three truly yours couldve been a cd itself

 

[decemberlove]

all you nerds gonna come back in a week talking about how much it grew on you.

Great album jeramaine. proud of you

Most quotable statement in this damn thread

NT a bunch of haters until official reviews start coming out.

I thought album was fire from the start and already people are coming back "album completely changes with the deluxe tracks "

But you thought all the other songs were trash...**** you talking about?

Cole put his blood, sweat, and tears into this and you get the results from that, it's simple

 

[harlemtothebronx]

He should have put Truly Yours I, II and III on the second disk as a full mix tape.

Might not have been able to legally put all those songs on that cd. For sure not Truly Yours 1 and Cole Summer, Ms. Hill woulda definitely sued

He probably only had clearance for the 5 songs he used. Technically those 5 songs Are still being sold and purchased, so you can't just throw your mixtape songs into it without clearance.

I ain't the saaame

Been bumpin this every day

 

[airjordan jb23]

Album is below average....Let NaS Down 2 coming soon

Can't wait til the 18th... The reviews got me a little worried, but im looking forward to checking the album out for myself.

Man I heard the song with Jhene Aiko and thought, "IDK who she is, but her voice sounds like shes gorgeous" and sure enough I google her and what I saw man...

Good point. Didn't consider that.

Back off, bro.

Trouble 

.... beat is sick

She Knows.... 

Rich N****** 

Forbidden Fruit 

 

.... one of my favorite samples. Listen to the original if you never heard it. Good song to smoke to.

Chaining Day 

All in all I'm satisfied with Born Sinner. All the people that don't like this album, invest in some sounds for the whip. Cole's beats slap.

 

[216301baller]

rich ****** my ****

this ***** hit home on that track...I need to dl this for the weekend but ima support him on tuesday

 

[thegrandpuba26]

Whoever thinks this album is wack is out of their mind. Nobody in the rap game is flowing like this. He stepped it up in every way possible, not to mention his production improved in creating a cohesive piece, instead of every song sounding like separate ideas. 

And Forbidden Fruit may just be his best lyrical performance. Straight bodied that 

. 

Album is a 4/5. Good work Jermaine. Now we just need that K.Dot collaboration. 

 

[216301baller]

they should of just used the og beat for forbidden fruit imo...yea he bodied that second verse

 

[peekthasneaks]

LAnd of the snakes is horrible.
Not only did he waste blatant copy of a classic Outkast sample, but he didn't do anything with it at all. No harmony, no melodies, no beat switching, and worse of all if you just gonna straight rap on the loop then at least bring it...and he didn't. Bunch of crap bars for Coles standards. Nothing dark or deep about those lyrics I think that's what disappoints us, when he says its about to be dark...then be fu**** dark... There's barely any darkness in the album, and when there is its at random moments... So that whole dark-to-light theme doesn't exist.

Runaway is dark, let nas down is obviously deep, but I mean...where else is this said darkness Jermaine? Just sayin, not tryna hate.

But anyways, on a positive note... Trouble is a problem on the ******g speakers yo. A problem

We seen Cole bite classic beats before..See World. So him taking the Outkast classic and not changing the beat is not a surprise. The sample/beat is so dope I can't really skip the track. But I agree he shouldve have dropped a dope story on the record to pay tribute. I like the last verse but he could have made that track real SPECIAL.

As far as dark goes Power Trip is a dark record. Cole whole persona and delivery on that record is just dark to me. Rich ****** is a dark track. Mo Money is a dark grimey beat. Too short for such a beautiful beat. The majority of Truly Yours pt. 1 and 2 are very dark. Head Bussa def should have made the album. As should have Kenny Lofton and Can I Holla At You. That second verse was Beanie Sigel on Where Have You Been like. Chilling verse.

 

[peekthasneaks]

they should of just used the og beat for forbidden fruit imo...yea he bodied that second verse

2nd verse on Forbidden Fruit might be his best on the album. But it was a *****move not to have K.Dot have a verse on that track. IMO Biggest ***** Move of the Year..lol

I like that last verse on Runaway.


Someone on this site said Work Out>>>>She Knows:x


Its clear Cole flow and delivery on this album>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sideline Story.

4/5?

Forbidden Fruit his best lyrical performance? whaaaatttt?

 

[gllahone84]

This just in ****** more ******* than Bieber though...

 

[capital sb]

I like this album its different than anything else Cole has put out. Im not sure how people dont like chaining day, most should be able to relate instead of actual chains think of it as shoes and the shoe game. Getting into the shoe game at the age of 15(almost 21 now) i feel like i can relate.

 

[GL Rayner]

So after listening to it for a couple days and getting the "Deluxe", I can say that this is more enjoyable than his 1st effort. I'm loving the track with Jhene Aiko .

 

[antidope]

Snakes in the Grass has grown on me. Now Chaining Day is the only song I dont like

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Can't wait to listen to this album..

The interludes are all skippable except MM and there are still 2-3 songs that get the instant skip from me.  But those bonus tracks are FIVE new songs which are all good and some of the hardest songs on the whole album.  So, yes, after absorbing the album a good 10x and hearing all the new tracks, opinions will change.  It's music, dude, it happens.

snakes in da grass & trouble are ...gotta finish it later after wk
