back on my J.Cole: Born Sinner.

Geno · 11-16-2013, 01:48 PM

..fucking classic.
Still think it the best album of the year, to date.
Thoughts?

DLB · 11-16-2013, 03:07 PM

not even close imo

j cole's best material was in the form of a mixtape, he's fell off from the dude i remember coming up. i think J. Metts first hit me up w/ J Cole on FG,
he was fire, now he's the Coke Zero version of Drake. like they talk about almost the same stuff

Geno · 11-16-2013, 03:22 PM

What album would you say was the best this year, so far

Orc · 11-16-2013, 03:33 PM

best album = nothing was the same

Geno · 11-16-2013, 03:45 PM

I don't know man. I've had drake in the deck for weeks. Just got my j.cole back from the homie, and its back in the deck... I think I'm much happier with coles shit "as a whole" than I am with drakes. Don't get me wrong though. Drakes shit is illy @Orc

Meh. I'm not a bigg pusha fan though, he got some joints -can't lie. But he hasn't won me over as a lyricist yet

Orc · 11-16-2013, 04:04 PM

my name is my name was ill . so was born sinner

Orc · 11-16-2013, 04:04 PM

acid rap too

DLB · 11-16-2013, 04:33 PM

My Name is My Name is easily the top album of the year.

easily, nosetalgia is the greatest track outta all the albums, same with numbers on the boards production and lyrically and they're all on the same album.

could've been a classic if Kanye didn't touch it and just released it tbh

TYSON · 11-16-2013, 05:58 PM

At the moment yo gotti album is getting the most play from me. Not to down pushas or Cole albums just saying gotti album is nasty....

Hi...

Yo Gotti's album is top 5 IMO...
Pusha's album is #1 tho...
Cole's album is good but too redundant...
His best songs were on yo Gotti's and dj Khaled's albums...

Bye...

ThisisDAM · 11-16-2013, 06:14 PM

I agree with born Sinner. Not much I got into this year. Drakes album was trash to me. Kanye obviously didn't try & holy grail was meh. Personally, most rappers who use the n word excessively I'm tuning out.

Mr. J · 11-16-2013, 06:55 PM

Yeezus shit on all the albums listed

Certain · 11-16-2013, 07:13 PM

Born Sinner is the most derivative album I've ever heard. It's a smooth listen for sure, but it's too unoriginal to qualify as good. Calling Born Sinner the best album of 2013 is saying you hate rap in 2013 and want it to sound like rap from 2003.

Mr. J has it right. Among more traditional rap albums, I'd highlight The Night's Gambit by Ka and Acid Rap by Chance The Rapper. Earl Sweatshirt's Doris, Drake's Nothing Was the Same and Pusha T's My Name Is My Name top my list of mainstream rap.

Geno · 11-16-2013, 07:44 PM

Hmmm. I havnt peeped this chance guy yet. Nor ka. Gonna have to checkem out

Geno · 11-16-2013, 07:46 PM

Yeezus? I don't know 12. It has a few tracks. But for such a short playlist I think it should have been better. There are 3e tracks I really like.. the rest are skippable imo

Certain · 11-16-2013, 08:04 PM

Yeezus is the complete opposite of Born Sinner. It's completely new sounding, not trying to impress anyone and completely turning its back on what we expect from rap.

J. Cole reminds me a lot of Little Brother with all the rap history references and reused samples. I don't consider it biting. But it's too predictable at a certain point.
