June 18th saw three completely different artists go head to head, in my opinion ‘Born Sinner’ was the best out of the three, but what’s your opinion, what do you think was the best? The creative and innovative ‘Yeezus’, the classical story telling of ‘Born Sinner’ or the variety and complex lyricism of ‘WMWTSO.’ Vote below My personal favourites from the album include ‘Power Trip’, ‘Rich Niggaz’ and ‘Let Nas Down.’ The art of story telling and lyricism certainly goes to Cole out of the three and ‘Born Sinner’ is a brilliantly put together piece of work. The only criticism I would have is that the album kind of just stays on the same level and theres not enough variety in it, but in saying that I think that could just be because theres no bad tracks on the album, there all good. Miguel, TLC, Amber Coffman, Cole relying on his versatility to keep the album interesting and on point. In terms of features theres not too many, and most only feature as a chorus singer i.e.
Clever and funny ad-libs (skits) and also freestyles (interludes) feature throughout the album, which breaks up and links the album together really well. The album has a nice relaxed feel about it with Cole having the uncanny ability to paint pictures in your mind, giving off an autobiographical film type of atmosphere. ‘Born Sinner’ brings a more linear less experimental hip hop album to the table, instead focusing on the lyrical content and story telling side of things, portraying his life in North Carolina and points of views on more traditional beats.

The album was released on June 18th, which just so happened to be the release date for kanye wests album ‘Yeezus’, and also Mac Millers new album ‘Watching Movies With The Sound Off.’ Having already reviewed those two albums I can safely say that all three are completely different, in style, lyrical content and also in what audience they are for.
Cole returns with his second studio album entitled ‘Born Sinner’ bringing his usual classical hip hop style and smooth flow.
