I was in NYC last week and this was the sole thing I listened to. Five days straight, constant repeat... probably a solid 10-15 times, front to back. Last I (this thoroughly) enjoyed a tape was when Yelawolf's "Trunk Muzik" first dropped at the dawn of the year. There's somethin' about J. Cole that's mad universal, from production to delivery. The boy (for serious though, he's an '85 baby) pinches on just about every (rap) tastebud - and it's evident as the mixtape unfolds. Whether love for the Kanye-eque ("Blow Up"), the Wale flow ("You Got It", featuring guess who), Royce Da 5'9" influence ("See World"), or hook reminiscent of somethin' 50 might have done in '03 ("Love Me Not")... the young'n is all-embracing. Solid, solid, solid.
