Am I the only one who think FNL>Cole World?

I'm a fan of J. Cole. But his album sounds a lot like another mixtape. I didn't even think Friday Night Lights was all that great, but I like it better than Cole World. IMO he needs to get more top producers and stop producing every one of his own songs. His beats sound very similar. Lights Please and Breakdown my ? though.

    The album was boring. No replay value. I learned nothing new from the album. No memorable bangers. No quotables. Just another ? taking up air in a booth. Cole is below average. I dont see the wordplay and lyricism to give him the title of savior. He doesnt have a flow. he sound like everybody else making songs for ? and rapping about material ?

    See I can respect that ? ,

    I think Cole problem is he needs a gimmick ( hate to say it). He started out on the college boy tip, he should have kept at it

    i dont see any revolutionary ? from gaga. Pop wise shes below average. No wordplay or or lyrics that stand out. Here hooks are so ? ? tried to hang themselves from it and they dont even come close to dying. She does have a flow. Wait.....she sounds like everyone else making sounds for ? who are always heartbroken and she keep singing about supect ? .

    They were released 5 years apart. Why do they have to be compared?

    lol at you always compairing gaga to overated ass beyonce cause its easier than comparing her to a talented singer. Sales have nothing to do with talent. And gaga is the perfect example of why coles album was not as good as the mixtape. Normal gaga in nyu without the ? gimmack ass ? costumes was better than this magic trick cross dressing ? that is on the radio. But even then that ? aint ? lyrically. You cant whip out lyrics from any of ? crybaby ? songs that are groundbreaking or origional its all ? the label wants her to market. So was FNL better than the album ...yes but gaga's ? is just as dumbed down or watered down too. Every time i call you out on your wack ass obession with gaga you just talk about beyonce instead of coming with actual facts besides sales lmao. Your gaga ? sucking ass cant even defend that sad lowlife ? logically you still gotta whine about beyonce and jay like they hurt your feelings. You say you hate the new watch alert i say bad romances playing with "disco sticks" and talking about a poker face are more euro and wacker than jays worse concept.

    I rate FNL higher than Cole World. Cole World was a nice album, it sure still grows on me, but what's lacking is a rawness and harder style of his mixtapes.

    lol this comment ... who buys anything with low expectations lol .... ijs ...

    but cole ? was hot ... but i think one thing is safe to say .... his production doesnt sound the same on some 9th wonder ? .... he actually produces in a way where it doesnt sound redundant but the production isnt that much innovating alot of his production comes off sounding kind of kanye'ish which isnt bad @ all considering kanye makes dope beats but more of the old kanye then the ever evolving musically kanye .... but def not wack ... he got some bangers ... like Rise and Shine man thats the joint he should of got jigga to drop a 16 on .... thats a mega monster beat ...

    I thought this after first couple of listens........Cole World is a ? great album tho and more I listen more I like......

    FNL had alot of album material tho, and listening to it now, it feels classic.

    I think that in years time CW will have that same feeling.
