My take on Cole’s career/discography as a whole is that his insistence to do his own beats and hooks and singing held him back and stopped him from having classic albums.
As someone who woulda argued in like 08 or whenever it was that Cole might be the best out of Kendrick, Jay Electronica...
All double albums woulda been better if they chose the best 12 songs and dropped that instead. Thats my subway take.
Ok 90%. Yes I know the few that succeeded as double albums.
I love this album. Different energy from the Hit Boy albums.
I’ve seen some hate for Premo online but I think they’re missing the point. Pretty minimalist beats but I have to think that was an intentional choice. I feel like they were going for like Eric B and Rakim or early Gang Starr...
