Might Delete Later 2024 Album

J. Cole

From the first listen, I thought at worst this was a decent project and seemed to be way too hated on. Maybe Kendrick stans have their knickers in a knot. Dakota West Foss from sputnikmusic, that is somehow allowed as a critic source, nitpicks and accuses Cole of ableism because he uses the word retarded and being something else that is said so much these days that it's meaningless for just stating facts. It's hilarious. I've checked out some profiles of recent ratings of this and some have just 0 bombed Cole's whole discography which explains what we're dealing with here. The production is all decent or better and while at times Cole isn't saying much, he still rides the beats well. I've never liked Cam'ron at all, so he ruins 'Ready ‘24' for me, and 'Fever', that sounds more like something Drake would make, is the worst song, but there are lots of likeable moments throughout this tape that has a number of different production styles. And say what you will about the now removed '7 Minute Drill', but the beats are exactly what I want from a diss track. Their aggressive and dark feel fit really well. If this is just some throwaways before the album, The Fall Off, it should be worth waiting for. Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★☆ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: Crocodile Tearz, H.Y.B., Stickz N Stonez, 3001, 7 Minute Drill
