It's so funny how many people are looking to Ye for dope lyrics .

He hasn't been "lyrical" since LR.

So what do you look to ye for? He doesn't produce his records, even though he's a rapper his raps suck, I mean...I gotta be missing something here.

He still arranges his sound and pick beats for his albums. He still has a signature sonically that shines through even though others may make the actual beat.
His overall presentation is what makes Ye special. He occasionally might spit some clever lines and a lot of them funny but never to a level of Jay-z or Nas.

Album is straight flames... 10/10 will cop on iTunes

 

[Maximus Meridius]

This Intro bruh

Man this **** fire. I wasn't really sure what to expect cuz I wasn't feeling HOF but ever since that 1st Quarter Freestyle I been waiting to see what he would do on his next project. Dude's flows on here are on point, the beats fit him, lyrics are dope, dude just sounds better.

 

[jaymosenvied]

After the first listen I can't complain. Album is dope to me.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Platinum And Wood

 

[Itachi]

I Know is 

  smooth beat by mustard. I've had it on repeat for like a hour.

 

[delete1234]

Even the song with Ariana is

 

[tekthemaestro]

Completed my first playthrough. Very solid. I just hate when he squeezes too many words into a line to fit, or when hes rapping fast/nonstop and his flow goes offbeat then comes back on beat. other than that... very good album. Cole still got the album of the year tho.

 

[memphisboi55]

Damn,

This thang go.

Finally a Sean album I f's with.

Sean album is on par with Coles

I have a feeling Kendrick is about to drop another classic tho so idk about your Cole prediction just yet

let me be PC. i meant cole got aoty as of right now. lol im not one of these fools calling something of year in january or february.

 

[trilluminated]

cole came out last year

 

[tekthemaestro]

cole came out last year

way past the year deadline. its why he wasnt even eligible for any awards that just passed. his album will count as a 2015 album.

 

[ace rawstein]

Outro reminded me of some vintage Kanye...

Got some cuts on here tho... he spttin and the beats are mostly dope.

Wayne feature was nice as well as Kanye's on All Your Fault.

 

[delete1234]

I'm takin this album over Coles **** EASY

 

[licensed to ball]

Lol.

Some of you dudes man, it's hilarious.

 

[antidope]

I wasnt a huge fan of the Cole album. I like the Big Sean album. I will leave it at that

 

[firered18]

First time through and I like it a lot, only one filler track, I have to listen again but I like this album much better than Cole's for sure

 

[akademikgenius]

Dope album.

 

[shoeking2101]

I'm takin this album over Coles **** EASY

I'm taking it over Cole's project, but not "EASY."

Before sean's project leaked, I was listening to Cole's album still. So many gems. Fire squad, Tale of Two Cities, Love Yourz, and that intro man...that intro is spectacular. I can't fault someone who prefers Cole's joint over Sean's.

 

[shoeking2101]

That I Know record is serious :x

No, No Role Models or GOMD tho?

You guys are comparing apples to oranges man.

They're in two entirely different lanes.

Compare Sean to Drake, they're in similar lanes with music for the radio, bangers, catchy hooks, fancy producers, occasional meaningful songs and good messages etc.

Cole has done a little of those things throughout his career but it's obvious with FHD he ain't going in that direction anhmore.

Sean and Drake still are, it's what they're better at. As a Cole fan I can admit when it comes to making radio "hits" or catchy "singles" he isn't even in the same league as Sean or Drake. But when it comes to rap from the soul and just pure lyricism and self expression Cole out does both of them.

Apples and oRanges. They're both GREAT at what they do, but they're not comparable.

Cole and Kendrick are trying to do something different.
Drake and Sean are trying to do something different.

They're all trying to win at the end of the day and they're all the best rappers in the game, but their recent albums obviously go in two complete opposite directions.
