16 years is wild. It was fall semester of my junior year. First time I had a car on campus, and a suite with a stove. Could tell me nothing, and this was the perfect soundtrack.
16 years ago today, j. cole released his third mixtape, ‘friday night lights’ 🌙🎶
the project was originally planned to be titled 'villematic' and feature cole’s previous leaks and freestyles, but he later revealed it would consist of original material instead. 🔥
it featured fan favorites like “in the morning” with drake, “too deep for the intro,” “before i’m gone,” and “looking for trouble” 🎧
after its release, the mixtape trended on twitter, ranked among google’s most searched topics, and went on to win best mixtape at the 2011 bet hip hop awards. 🏆
