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

[BiggWebb79]

Not feeling it like I did FHD, not to say it's bad it's alright off of first listen I would give it a 3.5/5. I like Change, Neighbors, & Deja Vu are stand out tracks to me. Big difference from FHD to 4YEO, more energy and better tracks on FHD.

agree...thought the album would be in this lane.

Been there.... done that? We've seen Cole spit.... if you want that there's The Warm Up for you.

yes, we've seen him spit and he's better at it than his struggle mos def impression vocals. take your cape off, dude dropped some teasers that are 180 degrees separated from what the album is, people have a right to feel blindsided and/or be disappointed

Haven't heard it but a lot of people saying it was disappointing, will find out tmmrw.

The album is a concept album about the levels of fatherhood. Those songs not only match musically, but thematically either. I mean he gave y'all a bone as it is for those who just want BARS... but he's on the different lane now.

Neighbors has nothing to do with fatherhood. He could've at the very least put false prophets on here. Even Kendrick figured out the way of putting Swimming Pools and BACKCAR FREESTYLE on GKMC. It's not like it would've ruined the floor of the album.

this is beautiful.
great album. that's all I gotta say.

the title track is crazy, giving me chills that last verse.

 

[Medio]

false prophets or somebodys gotta die would have not fit on this album at all.
I dont' know why people want it on here.

thoes tracks were jsut prmo tracks to get ppl talkng.

'how is cole gonna tour off this album'

who's making the rules on how to tour, you guys gotta think outside the box.

 

[Harry B]

Deja Vu gives me crazy Pac vibes, my goodness

Only song that stuck on first quick play while working, gonna listen for real but I remember some singing which he pretty much sucks at. And I also heard some uninspired production, but it was an unfair play.

 

[NasirJr]

see I don't even fukk with Cole

But when you live with a woman

This shyt kinda real

Look forward to your future breh

Oh my god guise, so deep. His girl is pregnant and he wrote a song about doing the laundry for her while doing the laundry and drinking almond. He also rhymed almond milk with almond milk.

Truly the 2pac of our generation



I swear my nikka could rap about eating a bag of salt and vinegar lays chips and you nikkas will be like "the reason he ate salt and vinegar is because he's salty some days and vinegar other days"



fukk out my face nikkas from area but the song was corny

I loved J Cole's double time flow on Neighbors......He rode the beat beautifully. I want to hear more of that.

So you are putting people in the shame for actually wanting a rapper to ummm rap more on his album .

Anyways if the production was good the album would be bearable for me, but even that is to me. It is just not sonically good

Dude, the ENTIRE ALBUM is a STORY. Or have you not realized that?

 

[The_Phonz]

it's aight. FHD was definitely better
