The Warm Up was a great mixtape with many of my favorite Cole tracks, but as a whole it was a bit too long and has more skips than any of the albums above it. Nice Watch is Cole’s worst track ever hands down. Cole World was 6 just because he jacked a few songs off the mixtapes so it wasn’t all new material, and Mr. KOD is just above 4YEO because I felt the latter project had a few more skips, and plus KOD’s themes truly analyzed the problems that drugs and substance abuse have on the rap game which is pretty prevalent right now. Personally my favorite is probably Born Sinner which is why I put it second, but Friday Night Lights is one of the best mixtapes of the decade so it is definitely arguable. For real though it was his most complete project and I think that was Cole at his peak. Obviously I had to give 2014 the top nod, the guy went double platinum with no features. So we’re going to rank all of his projects(minus the EP’s) and give our favorite track from each. The man produces, writes, and is a damn great feature that has made a case for one of the best artist this decade(he’s no. It doesn’t end there as he then transitioned to a more mellow style as he told the story of a man who struggled balancing family life with the streets, to then on his next album changing his sound completely from somber to more modern day trap like. His projects display great range from starting as an artist rapping over iconic beats on mixtapes, to cracking into the mainstream and enduring trouble with fame, to then hard hitting beats with incredible flows on 2014. In a decade where autotune and mumble rap has prospered, Cole has remained one of the artist dedicated to keeping lyrical and conscious rap alive while still maintaining commercial success. It feels right on the 9th year anniversary of his iconic mixtape Friday Night Lights, that we rank all of Jermaine’s projects.
