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

[Apex]

Neighbors is that shyt brehs he floated on that

only skip on that album is Foldin Clothes, I don't always skip it but I can't hear it too much either, apart from that every song's good to very good.

Drake should take fukking notes, album aren't single compilations

Drake is a pop star. That's what he was going for with Views, and it's given him more success than any album of his. Who's to say what he did was wrong?

Yo this Villie Mentalty give me a good sleep on the way from work the album is good.














For putting me to sleep greatest anti- insomnia album ever.

Big Sean raps so much better than J. Cole it's not even funny at this point.

[JYoung24]

She's Mine Pt. 2

 

[JYoung24]

dude just throws cliches in the pot without any understanding.

I mean T.I.'s "Us or Else" was more organic from an activist stand-point with far more depth and introspection. I mean for fukks sake...Ross and Gucci do this shyt better than a "woke" dude like Cole does.

Cole just literally reads headlines with no true artistic interpretation...and yet he gets all the accolades and praise for it.

Its infuriating for fans like me of music who want to see actual talent get their recognition.

gtfoh with that with your generic Cole hate lines

 

[JYoung24]

is this a circle-jerk or can we review artistic output?

I can relate to the mature themes he ATTEMPTS...but I don't count attempts. I count points on the board.

This dude's execution NEVER delivers. NEVER.

Cole gets more praise for aiming to send a message instead of actually fukking doing it.

Thats how low the bar is right now.

he always excutes your just a hater

 

[JYoung24]

whoever saying this is better than Views is lying to himself

it's way better than views and it's not even close

 

[JYoung24]

This is how i know u a hater. Kamasi always states that Kendrick was the driving force in making tpab. He told the producers exactly how he wanted to make tpab sound like. It wasn't like a producer makes a beat and offers to sell it to you so u can use it. Kendrick told them what to do. Stay mad fakkit. Tpab is the greatest album of the decade, possibly the 21st century. Its miles ahead of kid a.

nah that belongs to life is good tpab is great tho

Immortal

 

[JYoung24]

Except drake gave us 2 classics, what did cole give us?

[JYoung24]

So there is people really saying this is better than TPAB , its not even better than Born Sinner .

no he hasnt

 

[Hammer]

horrible attempt of trying to make PTAB type album

no buzz or anyone bumpin or talking about this

Cole is done

This album takes a few plays, get better with every play.

I'm not even ready to say if it's just nice or really dope.
It does take a bit too much attention in the end or you could fall a sleep, but that's just the mood of the album and perhaps not the quality.

drake dont have any classics

So Far Gone and Take Care might make a case, a lot of people would argue for it.
I would say So Far Gone is a classic mixtape and Take Care will be remembered but it could've and should've been better but he was too focused on getting his whole repertoire on an album. So zero classics but 3 extremely nice projects, those two plus NWTS.
