Critical reception
[ edit ]
"A Tale of 2 Citiez" has received mixed reviews from music critics . Marshall Gu of PopMatters was quoted as saying, "Thankfully, the album manage to gain a steady footing after its shaky start." “A Tale of 2 Citiez” could gain from just being a tad faster to match the menace, but the menace is there—both in the twisted soul sample punctuating each line and with J. Cole's own rapping (rhyming “tints” with “rinsed” with “since” with “limits” with “pimps” and finally “glimpse” in the first verse)."[6]
