Albums J. Cole - 4 Your Eyez Only (Discussion Thread)

[No1]

On here I get the impression that the dikkriders just latched on to the "Cole is wack" sh!t. I have yet to have met long time Cole fans who don't fvck with him anymore. If anything Cole one of the newer artists that has a loyal fanbase that continues to grow and appreciate his growth as a MC. I don't see a bunch of critics of his work irl, other than the whole production thing. Alot of people really do wanna see him do more work with other producers.

Well there is a difference between a critic and a hater. The Cole being boring thing is a hater phenomenon. It's basically a meme at this point.

I been a Cole fan since The Warm Up, I remember putting people on to breh. I fall into the critic category. Hopefully he pushes himself on this new album... I fear that since FHD was so successful that he's going to stick to that vibe because he knows his fans ate that shyt up.

I honestly thought FHD was going to be his TPAB in terms of content... Especially after hearing 'Be Free' (which wasn't even on the album). Maybe this will be his first album without an absolutely cringe ass song like the likes of Wet Dreamz and Crooked Smile

2X Plat no features... he doesn't have to stick one of those cornball type of tracks on there anymore

FHD has become one of the most overrated albums in the last 5 years.

No.

My nikka Cole about to separate the contenders from the pretenders and making sure the pretenders don't get too comfortable in the rap game.

Based on what I've heard so far, I can already tell this about to be some unadulterated heat.

Cole world

Bushworthy???? No Role Modelz charted at 36 and went platinum with zero push. Wet Dreamz went to 12 on the Rap charts and also went platinum. Crooked Smile (27) and Power Trip (19) both went plat as well, and Work Out (13) double plat. Considering how few singles Cole actually releases, and how many of them aren't trendchasers or really even that suited for radio play, his singles game is A-1

compared to his biggest comp, it's underwhelming. and if u believe cole when he says he only care about the fans and not wanting to knock drizzy out the top spot for his own ego, u sippin the koolaid. jayz, drake, and kanye use cole's single plaques as weedplates. if that didn't keep cole up at night, he wouldn't release a three minute diary about. real ppl don't wanna hear him rapping bout rapping. that's some last track on the tape type stuff. he using his peers in his music to garner buzz for his album. he a lame for that.

Ain't he married? Haven't heard any rumors or gossip about his private life (which is a good thing)

yeah heard the marriage been rocky and the girl lost a baby due to stress.

I coulda swore that Nas rapped on the sample in that Everybody Dies video before, but the song is slipping my mind I think Everyday It's Everyday Thing with Dre and Nature.

I wouldn't say those tracks were cornball, it's shyt a lot of people can relate too, but we all have opinions
