He had to rush that album because Friday Night Lights was supposed to be his first album.

Took his time on this album and was able to make the music he wanted to make and put time into it.

New joints from it:
Miss America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGwpdlDYLbE
Power Trip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdmnkXABqV0

About the post though. Yeah, they were decent albums, lol. I only listen to certain joints
off both though. Life Is Good just wasn't as good an album as everybody seems to think, imo. Yes,
it was good... but just good for me, personally. Cole World sounded exactly like what it was, to me...
a rushed album... especially knowing
what Cole is capable of. I do agree with you sentiments concerning him though. I did a post a long time ago
about how he was important to the culture and would be successful because he's focused on making good
music, is humble, and dedicated to his craft. He's only getting better and better with time.
