I don't think there are any J Cole threads around but I figured that I would make one.

Born Sinner came out this past tuesday and has been in my rotation pretty heavily.

He decided to go a bit darker for his sophmore effort. As much crap as people give hip hop artists for using skits I actually loved that he had some on here. It is a staple that's sorely been missed. I like hearing skits between certain tracks. Cole ends up name dropping a bit big time and using samples from tracks that people love and are nostalgic about to ride that fame.

"Let Nas Down" and "She Knows" have been getting some heavy replays from me. I recently added Villuminati to that list as well. The only thing that doesn't really mess with the vibe of the album are his two radio singles. Power Trip and Crooked Smile seem so damn out of place. They were purely added just for commercial appeal.
