I rarely ever rely on outside ratings, but yall nigas are wildin
Outlets like Metacric will definitely tend to OVER-rate ? , but I've rarely if ever seen them underrate ? . I say 'they' , but thats fans, ,general consensus. 67/100?!?!?
Again, stop forcing it. FHD is not close to classic, ever, at all -
If you can decisively and conclusively say an album is not classic. ..guess what? Lol
Its not 'close' to being classic -
Most mainstream albums are littered with features. So it's rare to get a mainstream album in this era with no features AND it still sold.Peezy_Jenkins wrote: »5th Letter wrote: »
He's been going against the grain and constantly proving you wrong.Peezy_Jenkins wrote: »5th Letter wrote: »Peezy_Jenkins wrote: »the no features thing is kinda overrated too, props to him and his fanbase for him being able to drop outta nowhere and go plat tho.
It's killing you ain't it?
wat do u mean?
ah, ? wrong every day b. i think his success is great.
i wanna like his music a lot, i just cant get into it. and i like j. cole's collabs(except planes) so i dont really see the huge deal about no features. maybe cuz it was unexpected?

I'll say this though, not having that one genre defining album will hurt his legacy but it is what it is.

I bought So Far Gone on the strength of some recommendations on the IC. Just as I was starting to get into it and start to nod my head he'd start singing. If that's this generations idea of "classic" then Nas was right, Hip Hop is dead.
Oops my bad. The album I bought was Take Care. -

Lets stay on topic , the OP also says 'at least borderline '.
Food n Liquor is that and it ? on anything Cole has cooked up. And i hate the current Lupe. I swear inqish a ? would say FHD is close to Food n Liquor. I dare you!

Food and Liquor doesn't ? on anything, ? ain't even that good -
Lupe the wackest rapper with dreads in the rap game, most dread heads go hard on the mic but his bars are baby legs weak.

Lol no classics from cole not even his mixtapes

No Hip-Hop Artist has as many classic albums as Eminem
The Slim Shady LP
The Marshall Mathers LP
The Eminem Show
The Marshall Mathers LP
Thread starter is right that J Coles discography is wack
However Reasonable Doubt is not a classic
Trap Muzik is not a classic
Late Registration is not a classic
When it comes To Eminem the numbers don't lie his albums have out sold anyone elses by miles and are Musical classics not just Hiip-Hop. Sales are fact and set in history and no Hip-Hop Artist is gonna do the numbers he has ever in history

Even Lil Wayne can squeak in w/ Carter 2 and Drought 2 (i get em confused) as his highly regarded, memorable, 'this stopped everything' bodies of work
J Cole don't got ? but nice, fun, 'personal favorite' at best level bodies of work . Please anyone tell me im lying
You lying -
J Cole hasn't even made a good album
Has albums have all been average or wack
His production worst producer ever, being top 5 most boring rapper ever, insisting on singing on hooks and sounding just as terrible as Ja Rule, Kanye West, Andre 3000 doing it, lack of charisma, 1 dimensional college subject matter are all holding him back from making a good album
Great Lyricist/MC though -
I don't have enough teenage angst or misplaced anger to be an Eminem fan
