Based off Cole's Truly Yours EP and his Power Trip single, what are your expectations of Born Sinner? Theres not as much pressure this time around as it was before Sideline Story dropped. Are your expectations as high for this album as it was before his debut dropped? How do you think Born Sinner will pan out?



I personally think Cole will step it up this time around. He sees how all his peers are gettin acclaim now (Kendrick, Drake) and he sees he needs to up the ante a little. If you ask me, this album is more important than his first one. The quality of this album will determine if people will still check for him or not.

    But you can basically say that bout every album. And being that he had a successful debut I don't think this album is as important. Now you don't want to drop some ? and just assume your fan base will carry over. For example Wale 2nd album was more important b/c his 1st album flopped. If the 2nd album flopped then he'd be on the chitterlings circuit.

    That ep wasn't really hitting on ? . I think power trip starting to catch up steam but it sounds kinda outta place when i hear on the radio i think it's his singing. But I expect the album to be better than Sideline Story. Which was a solid album but ? was kinda boring with no replay value. Maybe a little bit more uptempo and some production from others. I expect one of teh better releases of the year from Cole.

    He got a date yet

    That EP was boring as ? , and I'm a Cole fan.. Power Trip is cool..

    My expectations are just as high for his next album as they were for his first album.. he dropped The Come Up, The Warm Up and FNL, along with damn good guest verses on songs such as A Star Is Born and Just Begun.. but alas, I was let down like a few months after I purchased Cole World.. that album doesn't have that much replay value to me..

    But you're right, from 2012-present there were excellent releases from Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Nasty Nas and Kendrick Lamar.. even on the mixtape circuit, you had contributions from Curren$y, A$AP Mob, Joey Bada$$, Action Bronson, Fabolous, Pusha-T etc... so yeah, I'm sure Cole is gonna up the ante for the next album, not just lyrically, but creatively (production, song concepts, song structures etc.) as well..

    I expect more of the same but with a little more diversity in the sound. He probably won win over any new fans.

    Power Trip is way better than Work Out which is a good start. Like I always say, Coles issue is his hit or miss production. He said he's reaching out this album to other producers so we will see. That dude has delusions of grander with his beats.

    Only this dude could be on a label with Timbo, Jhalil Beats, Noi.d.,etc and pick his beats.

    I think his production is improving. Alot of people didn't even know that he produced Power Trip and were suprised when they found out he did, which is a good thing.

    His production isn't as bad as y'all make it out to be. But anyway I like Power Trip as a single and as the summer approaches it will eventually catch on. I hope Cole drops another solid album with improvement in his lyrics and more importantly EVOLVING as an emcee, you don't want to make another Sideline Story.

    Idk about the bolded. Sideline Story was underwhelming, but it still had good sales. If this is better than Sideline Story, I can see it selling more.

    This... After you drop the come up/warm up expectations are high and rightfully so. I think(well I know because he said it) that he knows that album could've been better. I also think that him and Kendrick being boys has motivated him because his album was supposed to get the same critical acclaim that GKMC got. He knows he can sell now but thats not enough for him, I think him and big k.r.i.t's follow up albums will ? on the first albums...

    Born Sinner will go platinum, mark my words! He says he has a bigger single than Power Trip too.

    He needs to do a better job with putting out visuals and carrying himself like a hermit.

    Nah i don't think he'll go platinum this go around. I think he'll do the same numbers he did last album. I think Cole will really be established by the time his 3rd album drops.
