J. COLE LAST WEEK, BRENT FAIYAZ THIS WEEK, BABY KEEM NEXT WEEK, BRUNO MARS THE WEEK AFTER, WTF IS GOING ON????
AND A$AP ROCKY A FEW WEEKS AGO. 2026 IS ON CRACK.
FIRST THOUGHTS ON THE FALL-OFF:
I need more listens (obviously) but off rip I think I prefer Disc 29. The energy on that side is insane.
The album contains the best production J. Cole has ever used, iconic sample flips and interpolations. It’s varied too, which helps the album not feel as long.
his flows? Excellent. I do feel like I could’ve done with a little bit more in terms of quotables or songwriting but maybe I’ll pick that up on future listens. The storytelling on ‘What If?’ is a great example of what Cole can do.
I do wish there was a few more features in the mix.
overall, I really enjoyed it. excited to spin it back!
fav tracks: Poor Thang, Legacy, 39 Intro
Shrinking is a beautiful and hilarious show.
Season 1 was about grief.
Season 2 was about forgiveness.
Looks like season 3 is about moving forward…
The Michael J Fox scene included here is perfect. Can’t wait.
