IC: Tree always struck me as a version of David Banner that would probably never, ever, ever make a “Like A Pimp”, but “Probably Nu It” at least gets him close to Banner’s “intimate crunk” phase.

But I don’t really care what he has to say in a larger sense. The production on the title track is cool. That said, “Golden Goals” is a legitimately awesome flow-maybe the best I’ve heard from him.

Cole most in R&B/pop mode… which is why I think he’s a consistently enjoyable singles artist but kinda dreary as a capital-R Rapper. JS: I think the mp3s I have of T.I.’s King still have “Undertaker” as featuring Young Buck and “Young Droop.” This is different conversation entirely, though. IC: I skipped straight to “Let the Bitter Man Win,” because I’m always most interested in mixtape tracks that potentially have messed up metadata, a la Das Racist’s “Fake Patios.” Cole raps every line like it’s a Twitter bio, “Steve Jobs of the hood” etc.

He also flips Miguel’s “Do You” and it sounds basically like you imagined it would sound. I feel like he’s the 874th person to flip “Ambitionz of a Ridah” this year, I can’t really explain why that song is having such a moment. Cole: mayor of Pleasantville.ĬG: There’s definitely a corner of KanyeToThe that has a jpeg of my head on a pike for not loving Born Sinner, but I thought this was fine, or whatever. “Sarge’ is kinda awesome, though I wonder if the Champaign twee-pop band of the same name would make you lawyer up.Ĭan we talk for a moment about how “Dreamville” is the softest name for a rap collective ever? J. I imagine you’d be able to come up with better names than some of these clowns. IC: That alone should be enough to get you honorary Dreamville membership. Cole confession here? Remember towards the end of the year when everyone on Twitter was posting their Spotify end-of-year round ups? Well, I did mine and my most streamed song was “Power Trip”, so I decided not to reveal that publicly. Jordan Sargent: Well, Fall Out Boy did fall the fuck off after Folie a Deux as much as anyone would after writing one of the best rock albums of the last 10 years.
