This song was originally made for a project before this album, but it fits in perfectly here.Ĭole raps over a very laid back and serene beat where he takes us inside his mind as he describes trying to become a rapper in his hometown. It’s one of my favorite songs on the whole album. As we go on we go to see that the girl is a virgin too and it’s a funny and surprisingly lyric filled story that helps lighten the mood. The song has a great message in the idea of childhood innocence and untainted by fame or lust.Ĭole in this song recites a story in where he is romancing a girl in his math class, and he is insecure about being a virgin. January 28th is the day of Cole’s birthday, and Cole brings a smooth flow and describes his childhood in vivid detail. :deciduous_tree: Track By Track :deciduous_tree:Ĭole asks us “Do you wanna be happy?” And the chorus repeats until Cole then goes on to recite his idea of his perfect role and overall it is a very beautiful little song and great way to begin an album full of great messages and good vibes. Although it didn’t take home a Grammy, many feel like it should have, and I think this album definitely deserved more recognition. As you probably already know, this album was the first hip hop album in 25 years to go platinum with no features.

Cole said himself that the whole concept of the album is to basically say “Fuck Hollywood” and fuck fame.

This album is named after Cole’s old home in North Carolina. :deciduous_tree: Synopsis :deciduous_tree:
