Not bad at all really. 5-7 on every project? For the negative perception of Cole that I thought he had, that’s pretty solid for a discography he supposedly has dunked on here and there.
I don’t understand all the Cole hate. 2014 FHD was damn near a 10 to me, there are only 1 or 2 songs on it that are misses. And 4YEO is a great concept album, which I think is really cohesive. Just cause he sticks to the basics doesn’t make him a bad artist. I’m not saying he’s on the Kanye and Kendrick level, but y’all better give him his flowers
not only that, but IMHO The Off-Season shat all over Mr Morale. I haven't listened to the latter album in its entirety more than 2-3x, few tracks had ANY replay value. The Off-Season I slept on for a bit after its release, because it doesn't have anything immediately exciting catching the attention, but I now bump it all the time. His vocal performances on that are goated fr
4yeo wipes almost every modern rapper's discography if not for "neighbors" it would be a perfectly consistent album. I have never heard a better experience and every single song will send you to heaven. It also makes me incredibly sad to see him call foldin clothes a weird song. I feel bad for his mother
@LT I’ve been doing that for a while. I’ve only been listening to music for a couple years and I’ve only scratched the surface. I’m starting with basics like J Cole, Kendrick, Kanye, DOOM, Pusha T, Denzel Curry, Travis Scott, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Tyler the creator, Childish Gambino, ect. Right now J Cole is making me feel something, so as of now I have his projects ranked pretty high.
i never saw anything for me in jcole i got ye i got kenrick i got jayz and so on there was never a moment where i thought yeah thats sth ive missed.. he do got quite a few bangers tho but he wouldnt even be in my top 30 artists
J cole's message is different from Ye & Kendrick. Jay-z raps are pretty bad ngl. Overall J Cole is a great rapper and he's really good at painting pictures and telling stories better than most rappers who just rely on zingers (cough eminem cough). Production holds him back tho if he had producers like Travis got producers then damn he'd easily be above Kendrick imo.

This is why Fantano will never be an actual reviewer in my eyes. He mostly glosses over the topics in each album and songs and doesn't give it time of day cause it's not hard rap 24/7. It's his opinion, but not a proper critical opinion.
Thats a really invalid argument l could argue he did give low score cause cole is a really fuking awful singer and l did have easier time listening his rap he also gave jid a 9 and l can see why cause jid sing really well compare to cole which is torture on some songs
