J.Cole - Cole World: The Sideline Story (2011)

We need a star rating system..

I give it 3/5

It was ALOT better than I thought it would be but it wasn't an album of the year contender that we all know Cole can make. Felt like 1/3 of the album was for his female fans though, which is fine cause he has alot. There's a couple of real good gems on here though and a couple of old tracks but that's fine because I rather he put classic older tracks on here than some Mr Nice Watch bull!! [pic]

Still though, Cole didn't live up to his potential, this isn't like LASERS or anything. Again, I came into thinking this album was gonna be[..] and was pleasantly surprised. But lets be honest if you've heard any of Cole's mixtapes you know and expect him to do better on his album and he didn't.

Better than Friday Light Nights? Probably not. But this album is worthy of mention. To those who have heard the leaked tracks before the album then thats a reason to be disappointed since a selected few of songs are new

I could budge an 8 but the level of production from mainly himself with alot of lyrical content im going with 9/10. Album of the year maybe... but people have to let it sink in and im sure kanye will be in this category and we all know how overrated that album is. Dont get me started on my doorstopper section 80 either.[pic]

Anyways back on the album

Solid effort by cole will definately cop and look forward to the future projects. Good time for music

reserving this post for after i listen to it a couple times..


edit: this !! cray..
5/5

first album i wont vote for in first week ima vote in a week or two

I'd say 8/10 after 4-5 listens all the way through. I love that he included older songs and like the person before me didn't have alot of Mr Nice Watch bull!!. Parts of the album is spectacular and some hit or miss because they are directed to girls.

I turned it off halfway through the intro

my vote = horrible

its like telling eva mendes to stop blowing you fore she even starts to unzip your pants

great analogy.

Great Debut.

wasnt tha biggest cole fan but this albums on some other !!. everyone on here throws the classic word around for any bull!! that drops these days. give it some time and i think well look back on this as a true classic record.

good !! cole:cool-smiley-009:

Classic.

Illmatic of our generation [pic]

9/10. Production is crazy. Especially for Cole.

it's cool, but it was made for females.

First Page, !!ers. [pic]

Mr Nice Watch doesnt fit at all. Dollar & A Dream is a great listen, as is Lost Ones.
Solid debut

4.5/5 after 3 listens..

Gonna check it in a few, see what all the hype is about.

so you didn't hear the album ok and you made a comment because.......

I give it 4.5/5...that track with Missy is crazy...Missy on the hook reminds me of some 90s Timbaland !!...had me like...[pic]
