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

[International S.]

title track is the only elite level track

I hate to say it but I agree with you breh
I will give it a few more spins ...I'm hoping this grows on me like to pimp a butterfly
but as for right now ...tonight...nah


I can't say this is good...


Pinata didn't have to grown on me tho...ijs

If you're a father.... it's hard not to feel this album. Everything about this album is different levels of fatherhood!

Yikes

No disrepect to fathers at all, but if this album is about fatherhood I'm not gonna relate to that because I don't have kids


And Cole is talented, but I'm not a fan...out

"I know you tired so I wonder how I can help
I get the basket and grab your clothes out the dryer, oh
I wanna fold clothes for you"

This is the original guys

This is hip hop AOTY, Tribe the only competition

 

[Brady-Carter]

Title track might be Cole's best track. Wow.



Will continue listening before making any final statements. Some awkward singing throughout the album, almost off key. I feel like this "no features" shyt hurts Cole as an artist and producer because he's left carrying burdens that he can't really carry. Specifically some of the melodies. A lot of them would sound dope if he simply gave a singer the reference and had her do it.

Re the bolded:

I personally like Cole's harmonizing(Singing). Is Cole singing a major hold back for liking his music?

 

[iamduval]

He gets compared to Kendrick so much. I wonder why he decided to drop a concept album after tpab. Can't help but compare the two now

 

[TillWeDie]

Subs

 

[2manyFCKNrappers]

It's very introspective but also extremely repetitive. All the songs sounds the same. It's a good album and you can hear personal growth but I felt it could've been much better.

[wingstop]

why is she's mine pt 1 after ville mentality? It basically sounds like two interludes back to back

 

[Cuckkleberry Finn]

This is the original guys

even knowing the sample im damn sure why and where he got the idea to make it the beat for his song.

 

[the cool]

Born Sinner... Great Album
2014 Forest Hills Drive... Personal Classic
4 Your Eyez Only...

this is easliy his worst album in his rap career...can't hate tho, can't drop heat everytime

 

[Kane]

Just ran through it.

Definitely his most ambitious project to date. I'm kinda feeling it but kinda not.

Change and Neighbors are the stand outs.

The title track is also dope.

A lot of the other songs blend together.

The album sounds way different from what I was expecting considering False Prophets. I gotta give it a few more spins for a final verdict.
