But I don't revisit it much either.

I thought the singles were cool, but not as dope as the highlights of the album. I thought the production was boring; too many songs sounded so much alike that I couldn't tell them from one another. I've grown more sympathy after learning that much of Cole World was supposed to be Friday Night Lights, but that he had to take the L and drop a free tape to keep his buzz from going away; I thought FNL was incredible. Off of one listen, Born Sinner does seem more entertaining.

I think Cole's perspective is one that's very necessary in the mainstream rap perspective, and I REALLY want to see him win. I think there are rappers out there who are less technically skilled than him who are making better records in general though. Going to run back Born Sinner though.
