      The Mixtape was not THAT bad lol c'mon bro, I'd say it's deserving of around a strong 6-Light 7 out of 10. But seeing how insanely bias Melon was during his reaction of the album, He probably gonna give it a super low score just to make Kendrick look even better by comparison. I prefer Kendrick too, But purposely trashing Cole and trying your hardest to act like every track on the album is laughably bad comes off as pretty lame. There were some duds for sure, But there were several quality tracks as well.

    Anthony and I should debate about Eminem. Especially after his new album comes out. I’m a HUGE Eminem fan, loved his music growing up and I’m still really enjoying his newer stuff. But I might also be the only Em Stan that doesn’t hate Anthony, I actually have a mad respect and really enjoy the content. I’ve made a few videos “Arguing With Anthony” on my page and I’d like to think I keep it respectful.

    Aren't you gonna review New J-Hope album Hope on The Street Vol. 1 ?
    It doesn't sound like Jack In The Box, except for the What if remix. It makes sense he chooses to do a remix for his docu séries as it's an essential tracks in the process of J-Hope releasing Jung Ho-Seok from the box and the documentary it's Jung Ho-Seok without his persona of J-Hope.
    this album is lighter, it's a OST for his documentary on dance so he goes on the Roots and have a more ''classical'' (?) production. It's cohesive with the documentary. The lyrics in an other hand are not so light.
    You also have a featuring with Nile Rodgers Lock/unlock which is a réminiscence of Get Lucky -Daft Punk - Nile Rodgers -Pharrell and it's soooooo good !
    I hope you will consider review this album.
