I know this my first post in here so yall dont gotta believe me, but i was in the tampa listening session. I wanted to say that someone on page 39 is correct. The album is FLAWLESS as long as he keeps it the way he played it for us. I also wanna say dont worry about whether trey songz is or isnt featured on a track. Cuz, if he is, IF... he doesnt sound like himself and it may or may not have come out %+%#*@! GREAT. this album will be a legendary debut.
yall missed something you cant predict and i can't say specifically...BUT... u need to add a 3rd candidate..a 3rd female candidate who can sing her %#! off and did amazing in album sales lately. but due to our type of music...you wouldnt think of her being with cole
I can assure you its not Miguel
the album is flawless with 0 commercial tracks besides work out (sorta commercial) and i must say i never knew cole was THAT great of a producer.
jay hadnt laid a verse yet when he played the track. beat was insane, cole came hard as hell of course. ill tell u this, i have maybe one or two favorites on the album. the whole album is so damn solid that there wasnt a single complaint or negative thing said the whole time. i have 2 favorites and theyre both cuz the beat was so insane. u wont skip a single track on it. he really is bout to drop a classic...even jay knows it
cole not looking for a feature just to build hype. he went for 100% quality on the album and i think he did the right thing. the only and most commercial sounding track on the album IS work out. if he does use the songs he told us would be the next 2 singles, yall will see wut i mean. the album...is just that CRAZY. after the CT listenin party hopefully someone on here wins it and will confirm what im talkin about. i havent bought an album since the cool. i will have at least 3 copies of this. 1 autographed, 1 for the whip, 1 to promo out to someone who didnt know any better and spread the word.
verses other than jay z? nope. hooks were all on point, i literally didnt have a single negative thing to say bout his album except the release date is too far away. thats the ONLY negative.
and adele is wishful thinking. theres a reason theres only 2 features left but 3+ candidates. the music industry sucks really and some of these artists are %#!%%%**#*+!, even with cole. everything thus far is "wishful thinking" till the cd is pressed.
skits? i wouldnt be able to answer that cuz he didnt PLAY any persay, but he could add those in easily in 10 minutes u kno? the intro... smh. the intro is not to be %*#!%% with. AMAZING. long as he keeps it the way he played it for us, the intro is actually a song. completely different from FNL
He went from good producer and top 5 out to my absolute favorite rapper undisputed and one of the illest producers out right now. The album is not to be %*#!%% with. Y'all shouldn't worry bout the remaining features much tho cuz he don't need em at all! The album could be shipped the way it is and be perfect. I just hope jayz don't mess with it and cole sticks to his own plan.
(the trey song)it shines. Its not what anyone expects when they hear ft trey. Ill tell u that much. Funny story is, the hook was an accident cole said. Cole hated it. Jayz said how can he possibly hate this? And it grew on him after a while
(someone asked about why cole hated the trey hook) Cuz it happened afterwards. He reached out to trey with a already demoed hook. He just wanted trey to redo it. Trey put a spin on it and sung it diff than cole had expected n cole said he didn't like it at first but jay said cole was trippin and then it grew on him. No its not commercial. Workout is the closest thing to commercial were gonna get
The intro he showed us made everyone sit up and applaud. We didn't expect it either. But his intro and outro r so right for wut the album is
Like A Star is NOT the outro
Honestly...the album is so well rounded consistent and solid that I love all the tracks seriously. Two stood out to me only cuz the production was so crazy. But that's all. And I can't name them either
