i'll be checkin this out. lately havent been that impressed with cole, but lets see how this turns out.

EDIT: looks like cheer up was taken out. and also since this already was a tracklisting thread...i'll just make this an album discussion now.

Last I heard, Jay hadn't turned in his verse..

Probably too busy getting Beyonce pregnant :lol:

Jay to JC: "Go play somewhere, I'm busy"

lame that in the morning is on the album...it was already on FNLApocalypse33

[QUOTE="Apocalypse33"]lame that in the morning is on the album...it was already on FNLToriko42

dont mind lights please on the album. but as far as in the morning goes, its like they added it on just for the sake of "drakes on my album" Omzzz

Word,and the song sucks.

Lights Please grew on me,but still too old to be putting on a 2011 album. Let's hope he doesn't disappoint,music-wise he's been on the decline to me.

and "A ***** From the Ville".

I really like this album... Songs like Work Out and Mr. Nice Watch really don't speak for what this album is. Work Out feels really out of place and those two songs sound much more "mainstream" than the rest of the album. On my first listen, I thought it was kinda boring, but I'm on my 5th or 6th listen now and love it.

Production was surprisingly good, considering Cole pretty much produced the whole album, but some beats are meh.

Best things about this are his charisma and his lyrics. Really refreshing that there are basically no guests. The end is the strongest part of the album... Rise and Shine, God's Gift and Breakdown close it out and they are probably my 3 favorite songs. 

Work Out is dope I dont know what you people are talking about. Just got this gonna listen now.AL_GREEN

I like Work Out and Mr. Nice Watch. They just seem out of place on this album... Not Mr. Nice Watch so much, but Work Out really does, especially after the 3 songs before it...

But if it's a 'bonus', does it matter all that much? 

He should have kept cheer up on there IMO....but overall great album but could have been alot better, still - awesome.

Never told is my fave track so far - 5th spin. I think its a NO I.D. beat.

It isn't really a big deal, was just pointing it out.  

listened to it quite a few times and i liked it. when i heard j cole was producing most of the album, my first impression was weak beats, but he actually surprised me. in terms of lyrics i thought was ok.

when he says stuff like "let you feel like you the **** but you cant out-fart me" makes me smh. sounds like he stole a line from waynes rhyme book.

Omzzz

Yeah he deffo came harder on alot of his mixtape joints and other leaked tracks, but it is what it is. If we never heard any of these tracks before it would probably be a exemplary album but as it stands in my opinion its 'great'.

When I first heard the beat for Dollar and a Dream III, I instantly got reminded of Kingdom Hearts 2. Then now i find out he actually sampled it lol. WinOmzzz

Sales predictions? First week.

I say 180-220k.

i'll be surprised if those projections are right. my guess was 100k max

Went to his show in Orlando tonight.

Sold out crowd, everyone went nuts, it was dope.
