But 2014 Forest Hills Drive was an authentic and genuinely GOOD album. Right off the bat, it sounded so much more developed and mature than Born Sinner. So, I really dug the studio version. Not usually super into live rap albums, but I'll check out the new one for sure.

Yeah man.. I always had a soft spot for Cole, but I was waiting for him to make a really good album so I could make it official. It took him 3 attempts, but he finally did it.
