Cole’s highest rating being a light 7 hurts my soul, but I respect that it was The Off-Season. I stick by that this is his best rapping album. 4YEO is my pick for best and fave, but TOS is the one I would recommend to everyone.
Of course, his favorite Eminem album is the one with the Kendrick feature. In all seriousness though, I think he ranked MMLP as the best overall. Hard to disagree.
Acid rap is so much better than colouring books And I think nothing was the same or take care are better than IYRTITL, even if they’re more uneven performance wise, if only because it feels like they have more to say
I think you’re smoking something with ur acid rap take. But the reason why he put IYRTITL over take care and nothing was the same is because they aren’t very consistent. You have to remember that an album isn’t just a collection of songs, it’s a homogenous product that should be judged as a whole, not as the sum of its parts.
@@bradydean8570i have changed my mind, take care is worse but I still think that nothing was the same is a more cohesive artistic statement than IYRTITL but IYRTITL has grown on me quite a bit. On the other hand I relistened to both acid rap and colouring book and I still feel acid rap is just such a more meaningful album, it is far more raw, far more energetic, while I still really enjoy colouring book it already has that cloying nostalgia and sappy ‘aw shucks’ vibe that really takes it from a 9 to an 8 here and there. Both great projects but Acid Rap is just a more potent artistic statement, more emotionally honest and with a somewhat wider sonic palette.
