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

[Bruce Wayne]

Thats how I was looking at that vid

I'm a Fan but I can't even force myself to like half of the album really. I played it 1nce and got right back to Ghostface.

....and how come Everybody Dies and False Prophets aren't on the Album?

Q: You’ve probably seen the memes about the last album going platinum with no features. Did that notion, “platinum with no features,” ever come up in the making of 4 Your Eyez Only?
A: We see the memes and we all laugh about it. I don’t think the no-features thing is a goal for Cole. He’s isolated most of the time, so he’s not going to reach out to people for a feature. If [a feature] happened organically, it would make sense. It just so happens to go that way because he works on his own and he’s not going to seek out people just because they’re a name. He feels like if the song is good, the song is good.

This is a confirmation on how Cole has tunnel vision with his work.


No, you don't have to reach out/collab with others because they have a name. You do it because you can make 'good' songs 'great' songs. You do it because you can't do EVERYTHING better than your peers.

Imagine ESOM with Jay

Guru : u should put Alicia on this hook. It would sound so

and

Jay going naw I got this one then proceeds to sing the hook off key

So I totally agree what u are saying

Terrible comparison.

It really are no skippable tracks IMO...That's whats so weird about this project...

It's like they are all just good enough to not hit forward on...but not good enough to turn the volume up...

Wasn't feeling the singing on a couple songs, other than that I'd give the album a 7.5.

J Cole has those intangibles that other rappers don't have, his vibe and the amount of soul he puts into his music sets him apart. That's why I like him so much and the reason why I hate that Kanye changed.

Yall nikkas right though... his mixtapes are better than his albums, the only album that tops his mixtapes is FHD. Cole still is my current GOAT, but I wanted more for us.

 

[Darealtwo1]

MANNN WTF! IM HEATED THIS ALBUM AINT FOR US WTF.

Man drake mad af he really didn't drop his playlist shyt cuz of those two songs cole originally put out...MAN I thought cole was coming with that heat coming at nikkas necks and then he drops this nikka could have just made a mixtape and saved it for his friends daughter. Don't give us this. I don't know this nikkas friends daughter so how can I get this shyt or feel whatever you saying

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

This wouldn't be so underwhelming if he hadn't dropped those 2 songs

Had me thinking he was coming for nikkas' necks

 

[Harry B]

Lowkey you have to have a 3.5 GPA to understand j cole

While you are trolling it's interesting that if you look on the first few pages of this threads. People didn't even understand that it was a concept album or why the two singles weren't on it.

 

[Paper Boi]

it's amazing how much effort some of yall put into hating an artist you don't like.


if i went into every drake thread and posted what i think about him and his music i'd be ending all my posts with:
