Incredible? kinda. Entertaining? Definitely. He's pretty much the Busta Rhymes of smash. Definitely entertaining, but he ain't winning ****.
@Sus: Yeah but when's the last time you heard anything about soulja boi? Son hasn't had a hit since like 07. These rhymers have short careers and fade into oblivion in 0 seconds flat. Never seen so many people eager to speed through their 15 minutes of fame.

I'm talking musically. I read that he made 7 mil last year or some odd ball number like that. Must be 50 in his ear, whispering some good advice or some ****. I don't care about his business ventures. I just know that I haven't heard a single track from him in years.

So I was talking some girls at school today and I introduced them to Kendrick Lamar ADHD song. They started to bounce all up on me as soon as the song started.
I swear, ADHD is the best sex song ever.

I don't see your points or what exactly makes it "mediocre" but I guess everyone's got an opinion.
Also this next track is a real surprise on a hell of a lot of levels:
Tyga - Apollyoyon's Theme (Produced by.... Jessie Jackson..? wtf?) And this song is unfinished, set to feature... Nas soon? The hell is this? lmao

I agree that Cole World is mediocre, and it doesn't help that it's basically the first Cole stuff I've heard and I expected it to be great considering everyone is calling him the next Jay-Z and ****. I'm not saying it's bad, I just don't see what's so special. That said, I will go through it for another listen to give it a fair shot.
His singles (especially Mr. Nice Watch) all sound like such generic mainstream songs.
Whoa, whoa there buddy. If you've ever read any of my posts, you'd know I have never done that. Favorite rappers: Kanye and Biggie. I'm just saying J Cole is not good at making mainstream music.

I don't think it's so much artists being mainstream as it's them deviating from what got them the fanbase they have now. Alot of rappers/singers/bands and whatever else people want to call themselves these days hit it big and they basically forget their roots.
I am and probably will forever be a Kanye West fan. However, I feel like that he too is starting to completely deviate from the days of College Dropout and Late Registration. In those days, he talked about subjects that people (namely black folks) could relate to.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WezusURMbY
That right there was something that people could relate to on a super personal level and it nabbed him a fanbase in an instant. Yeah, he became a mainstream artist, but he was a mainstream artist that kept true to his roots. Now, he's kinda drifting into Lil Wayne territory and just talking about what the next rapper is talking about.
Also, concerts > record sales. Concerts are pretty much guaranteed cash. Most artists don't see that much money despite record sales. Companies will drain them of their funds quick to cover the cost of producing them. So most underground artists that stay underground, are doing it solely because they are seeing the money up front. I'm sure you already knew that though as you're an up-and-coming artist yourself.
With the exception of a bunch of verses on Watch the Throne, Kanye is definitely not rapping about the same things other mainstream rappers are. MBDTF is one of the most uncomfortably personal albums I've ever listened to. Yeah, it's hard to relate to for me, but that's because I'm not Kanye. It's almost like he made an album entirely for himself and thought of his listeners as an afterthought.
Also worth noting is that his lyrics have gotten way more abstract and "artsy" in the past few years. Early Kanye was brilliant and has so many insightful lines that you only need to hear once and you understand exactly what he's getting across. Now, it's all strange metaphors about his personal life. I love it myself.

Yeah how the hell is Cole World mediocre? If its because your comparing it to Friday night lights, saying its not as good, then imo thats not a valid reason. He has to do a certain format when creating an album, just like any other artist. He cant just have 20 "j cole" tracks because he doesnt have the same freedom as when hes doing a mixtape.
In fact I think this album packed way more variety then FNL. J cole changed up his style a lot throughout the songs.
If its for some other reason, then i hold my tongue.

Jay-z taught Kanye how to spit lyrics secretly now. It's going to take a while to decode every song he drops fully.

I'm just saying no more on the topic because I've noticed in here of those who claimed it was mediocre that they pointed out about 3 tracks that weren't up to their expectations and never really gave legitimate reasons for disliking them or for claims that the album was mediocre. I don't really try to debate stuff anyway. xD

Agree with this. Love the old Kanye and the new Kanye.
Like I said, basically the first Cole I've ever heard so I'm unbiased in that sense. I just didn't think there was anything particularly special. Sure, there's a few tracks I enjoy, but I don't see why people are lauding him as the next Jay-Z or next great rapper of some sort.

When I saw FNL I thought Food and Liquor was being brought up. Cole World doesn't touch Food and Liquor lyrically and conceptually.
I have faith in Cole's follow-up tho. These types of two year anticipated projects are bound to disappoint (e.g. lasers).
His mixtapes really are better imo, and what got him his fanbase. I would check those out before writing him off.
He is new to the album game. Different rules.

MBDTF is a ridiculously good album. I wasn't really talking about that. I'm talking about the recent sounds I've heard from him with Jay-Z and Big Sean. I'm not saying it isn't good, because I know Kanye kills whatever track he's on. I just don't want to see him get in that "I don't have to try because I know people are going to buy my **** regardless" mode.
BTW Gorgeous is like the best song on there. Jus sayin.

Kanye west two words is my fav. song right now
uh.
yeah, I'll never understand that- "I like this song more than all the others, but it's not the best track" makes no sense to me
my favorite track is probably Lost in the World. I can't really say some other track is the best at the same time, lol.
One thing that does suck about new Kanye is his features. E.T. is embarassing. It would be embarassing if it was Soulja Boy, it's even worse when it's Ye. So is that one song where he's like "this is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson. now i'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson"
smh man. It's lines like that that make you wish he was still on the comeup, and so hungry and eager to impress that he would just go all out lyrically and delivery wise. Now he can take a dump on a track, put (feat. Kanye West) at the end and call it a day.

Favorite track off of MBDTF?
Devil In A New Dress <3
Close Second- Runaway
I understand what people mean when they say "This is my favorite track, but the best track is..."
Like for example on Ye's Late Registration, my favorite track is "Diamonds From Sierra Leone", but I feel as though the best track on the album is "Late" or "Heard Em Say".
Comes down to what you like to hear vs What artistically is the best put together song on the album..

I need to give MBDTF a serious re-listen.
Favorite track - Track that you personally like most. Maybe because you relate to it (Dear Mama or Roses if you've lost someone) or it had some insane punchlines that reference something you like...that kind of thing.
Best track - Most accurate showcase of an artist's talent.
That's how I percieve it. Makes sense to me because there's a lot of tracks that are meh to me unless heard in a specific setting (live in concert, alone, at a party, when I'm feeling s****y, etc).
