Not my favorite but definitely a great track. For me I can say the same for just about every track on the album in regards to having a great beat with quality production. Lyrically my eye and ear are in a different place so I don't judge it in normal way unless I'm asked about it but I don't think I've had a problem with any of the lyrics on the album. Everything was well done to me.

I agree. To be honest there isn't even one song I dislike on the album. You can tell Cole put a ton of effort into each song

Does the Wale section feature some open-mic poetry?

Ehh, there's still some bad spots lyrically floating around throughout the album (the first verse of Villuminati, the Adam Levine line on Forbidden Fruit, etc), but it's a lot better than Sideline Story in that regard, and every regard basically.

I'm not too big a fan of Trouble and the skits are useless but aside from that I love the rest.

What you can really tell is that this album is so much more well put together than Sideline Story was, which was because he had so many tracks on there that he'd been holding on to for years, plus he was trying to appease the casual fans and the label with potential single-type songs and songs out of his comfort zone. What you get with Born Sinner is much more telling of what he's capable of IMO.

I still hold The Warm Up and Friday Night Lights above it for the time being, but I'm more than happy with what he delivered with Born Sinner. I've been playing Power Trip pretty much every day since it released on Valentine's Day and it still hasn't gotten old to me. To be honest, it's probably one of my all-time favorite songs at this point.
