Cooger

ma argument was "Dagrin aint the king of flow" as sm1 dubbed it. And u kno that. Plus I only back off when there's superior point or d other xtreme; a blatant senseless point. That's day suaron, u were in latter mode.
I understand ur deep seated unappreciation for Mode, so its ok. no point sweatin this.

Back to d cypher, so in ur assessment M.I did beta than M9. because of "flow". Rememba wat I always say, PPLE DON'T QUOTE FLOW/DELIVERY, they QUOTE LINES.
U say M.I, I say M9, even M.I said M9. At least we hav sth in common "M".

oNe

Oga cooger
Well mayb I'm confused, mayb I'm a M9 ball-licker as u said.
But all u said just validated ma point. "It depends on wat boils ur blood" just mean ur view is subjective and not a result of empirical gatherin'.

No one has said Mode is "perfect" in every facet of rap, no one is, so don't get ahead of urself sir.
We talkin bout the cypher and there he edged e'rbody. .simple!

All ur chirpin' bout timin, flow et al is pure bullock! Except u r remotely suggestin he fell offbeat or gasped or lost his breath. . Its funny pple wil rate a rapid flow of so so lines over a deft and deliberate delivery of flawless bars.

The fact is by d time u aggregate waeva all d aspect u wanna use Mode9 came "correctses" of alladem!

oNe

Some of u just throw words around. M.I "outrhymed" M9. Figment of imagination more than empirical assessment.
Fact is they well all ok. But the only person that kept it 100 was M9, followed by saucekid. Others had either issues wit their flow, or had forced wordplays, or delievry issues. Dunno y this is still a topic of debate sef.
Mode9 aced it. .even the artiste acknowledged it. So y shud I bother wit hecklers catchin feelings. .y'all just "unintetional fans".

oNe

@Ritcboy
The prob wit others is wat I call "setbacks" and that reveals ur level of word dexterity and understandin'.

M.I said: "all I spit is Right, ma flow is Ambidextrous" Ambidextrous suggests u can use both hands(right and left) so wats d relevance to d verse?

Then again: "ma flow is ever fresh like it douches" Wtf!!, by implication his flow is pusi/or ass! Cos those r d 2"cavities" d word refers in usage.

Just like when he spat: "even if u think u got testis,I'm a pr!ik" smh .

In all these One thing I keep hearin is IF M.I flowed it right, IF X.O delivery was right, IF sauce had some punchline, IF IF was IF. .
Well, while d rest were "iffin" around Mode9 did his thing, clinical, and killed d cypher, easy!

Y'all shud just rest this and give props to all of them, they all represented 9ja.

oNe

@Tical. .I can understand how u feel. But lyricsm is not about flowery incongruent xpressions. X.O is just all over the place. Dude is nice, don't get me wrong, Mode9 is just miles ahead of them on so many checklist. Its not a mistake that those who are not just listeners but those who pen dope lyrics even on NL considered M9's verse top draw. It was compact,tot was precise, mature and u cld follow it thru. And inspite of it not being so lengthy it delivered d heaviest effect needed for a cypher. X.O got potential, but he has loads of work to do.
Ma 2cent.

Wordsmith:

IMHO, the album is just decent, not "very good" and way far from a classic. Frankly, a good number of songs on his mixtapes (particularly The Come Up and Friday Night Lights) should have made the final cut and not fraggin' Lights Please. The album doesn't exactly grow on one, as his st(f)ans claim as they lack momentum and have this slow monotonous laid back feel to it, which gives the listener the impression he's listening to the same song like 5 times. Cole World lacks the same diversity you find in his two previous works, but J. Cole still manages to lift the drugged feel of the album with songs like Lost Ones, Never Told. Overall a decent first offering.

Seriously, why is nobody listening to Phonte's Charity Starts At Home and Evidence's Cats And Dogs? Two slept on sick albums, sicker than this here reviewed one? And not even Apathy's Honkey Kong? Shieeeet!

Phonte's CSAT is a good material.
Tho Phonte is a Vet at this thing i cant honestly say his album was better than Cole's.
It even sorta panned out like Coleworld TSLS.
from track 6 to 12 the album lost the verve with which it strated.
, well track 10 and 12 kinda uplifted that half tho.
But yeA, its a good material.
Not listened to Cats and Dogs yet . .
