Although I did enjoy the choir samples and the instrumental. “Gunshots into the air but, I ain’t scared for my life.” These lyrics sound like they belong to a rap PARODY. This track is funny because of the stupid lyrics on the hook. What is it?! Completely pointless that Cole needs to dedicate an entire track over how much money he wants and/or has. He says that he says so much money that he can buy 5 houses, then he says he doesn’t have enough money. Cole is contradicting himself on this track. Cole’s lyrics and flow on this song.Īlthough this track is just a minute long, J. However, I loved this track and I liked J.
Without those two things, this song would have no single potential. However, this track is a huge hit ONLY because Miguel sang a beautiful hook and that Hubert Laws jazz sample.
Cole is now obsessed with girls and he kills her boyfriend so he can have her. Then, Cole says he is going to paint a picture of his pain and yet, I have no idea what his pain is. Oh baby, don’t sta! However, the topics Cole talked about on his debut, Cole says here! He talks AGAIN about how he chased down Jay-Z to listen to his stuff, it’s a re-run and it’s annoying. I also liked the hook, “Don’t watch the snakes cause they watchin’ you”. I loved the OutKast sample used on this track from their album “Da Art of Storytelling Pt. However with that said, I loved the instrumental used for the first song on this LP. Don’t believe me? Look at the lyrics for this track. I feel he puts the “money, hoes, blunts” gag in here to.
Usually, the user of the word is the “faggot”, not the people who think it’s offensive. Cole feels that he needs to say that people that are offended by when he uses the word “faggot” are the “faggots”. Just because you make more money than other artists doesn’t automatically make you better than them, that is pretty ignorant. In the first verse, he covers how is better than Internet rappers and how he makes more money. Cole has amazing flow but, some dull lyrics. The hook is pretty stupid, he talks about how is rapping is “tight”. Also, the topics in this track aren’t “dark”. He just expects you to know him so it doesn’t need to be said. I feel that Cole will share a sad or depressing story and yet what he forgets to say is how he feels. I don’t see a tortured or depressed of Cole on here. This track, the whole album, is not really any darker than Cole’s debut. I chuckle at the very first of this album which is “it’s way darker this time” because of it’s irony. In 2013 Cole released his second studio album Born Sinner which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, however the album later rose on the chart to number one giving Cole his second number one on the chart. He received a nomination for Best New Artist at the 54th Grammy Awards. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, Top R&B Albums and Top Rap Albums chart, selling more than 218,000 in its first week. His debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story was released on September 27, 2011. In 2009, he became the first artist to sign to Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation label in which he released two mixtapes The Warm Up (2009) and Friday Night Lights (2010). Cole began rapping at the age of twelve, after graduating school Cole released his debut mixtape The Come Up (2007). Cole, is an American hip-hop recording artist and record producer from Fayetteville, North Carolina. Jermaine Lamarr Cole (born January 28, 1985), better known by his stage name J. *NOTE: I don’t review skits or spoken tracks on LPs as there is some on “Born Sinner”.
