We've going back and forth about the feature track that samples Smokey Robinson's 'Ooh Baby Baby'. This was just a record to lay it all out in the open.

J. COLE MADE MORE THAN KANYE WEST IN FIRST WEEK SALES,

This was definitely leading up to a Master vs. Bruce Lee type of thing from the get go. It's hard to believe the opening week figures for Kanye's critically acclaimed 6th studio album 'YEEZUS' which sold 327,000 are the veteran rapper's smallest. NO radio single, NO official video, NO pre-order, NO NOTHING & he still had the #1 album in the states.

I won't get on the critic bandwagon and sh*t on Ye' just coz it's the 'in-thing' right now. I hate how people forget who you are & whatever you did if the world don't immediately take up your ideas. They tried it in 808s & Heartbreak but still he opened up with 450,145 albums sold. Being a creative I think most of the time art like this comes out, it's too ahead of it's time.

Like Rakim and Eric B wit Paid In Full. To this day I use that as inspiration to think outside the box. And how they were so ahead of their time. I think it was ever so popular in the 2000s than the '80s and 90s. I just love something new that even more so raises eyebrows of critics who don't believe we should be living in progress.

Even though, everyone has positive reviews for our fav lyricist J. Cole. I knew I'd love 'Born Sinner' as soon as I heard 'villuminati', I knew this was it. J was taking us back from where hip-hop came from. The track sounds as though it came together with just one take, and that got me good. It's the flow, the delivery, the storytelling ability that can only be compared with Slick Rick.
