As someone from NC, J Cole is extremely relatable. I remember listening to this album in elementary school and being able to feel that album so young. I listened to it again back in middle school and being moved even more. Also the first verse in 03' Adolescence gets me emotional everytime.

I feel you, man. '03' Adolescence' is one the best songs of the album PERIOD!

This album was such a breath of fresh air for me when it first dropped . Good times .. hella Cole albums that hold sentimental value to me. This one, Born Sinner (my favorite) and Friday Night Lights May very well be in my favorite albums of all time.

I remember exactly where i was and what i was doing when he dropped this shit. I was anticipating it for a while. He was always my favorite rapper but this album solidified him being a goat. Probably listened to it about 20 times that day. Changed my life..

After hearing his feature on that new Drake record I think J Cole is about to bring out a BANGER with his next project 👀

Another great album break down i remember when Friday Night Lights came out and i thought Who Dat was 🔥 i dont get why Jay didn't give Cole a release date.

@cloutcancun 9 ай бұрын

'Who Dat' was crazy to me. It really made me say "Who is this?". You could see that star potential. I'm glad he leaked 'Friday Night Lights' because who know's what would've happened if he didn't.

This album made a J. Cole fan back then 💯 Edit: This the part I don't get, I am not a fan of the guy but getting backslash for an award he didn't win is stupid asf, is not his fault he won people should blame the Grammy's. Kendrick should have won that tho
