J. Cole - KOD (Discussion Thread)

[Mowgli]

This is J.Cole Truth Album, this is his truth, I will mos Def give it a spin. It's his truth and a satire of the Current State of Hip Hop, he's holding a mirror to hip hop face and he's talking to The Mumble Rap Generation with Trap Beats, Trap Flow with a Message.

I respect that

Whining

Neighbors , 4YEO >>>>>> KOD there are no high moments on this there's flashes but nothing else

I listened to it once, and never want to hear it again.

Same feeling I got from Pimp a Butterfly.

Idk what’s up with these new crop of “god MC’s”, but the replay value on their projects just not the same as Jay and Nas shyt.

I’d rather have quality music I can listen to over and over, than shyt with a “deep” message I just wanna listen to once.

Oh Well.

Same shyt I’m thinking after one listen except I disagree about TPAB.

This Cole album has no replay value for me.

 

[Jim Cornette]

Wish we would’ve got that Cole/Kenny joint album by now instead of the garbage output they been puttin out these past few years (4YEO, damn, this bullshyt)

real

 

[Colin X]

nikkas ain’t worthy to be on his shyt

 

[Y2Dre]

Same shyt I’m thinking after one listen

This shyt ain’t it, but the “you gotta have a certain level of intelligence” crowd gonna say you’re tasteless swine if you don’t sing this albums praises.

shyt just not that good. Born Sinner was better, Friday night lights was better.

This nikka clearly been reading his own press clippings too much, and trying to “out woke” Kendrick (who has been in a steady decline since good kid maad city idc what cac award he gets) and it’s just resulting in music that sounds like he’s rapping AT you and he don’t care about making enjoyable music any more.

He was supposed to be the next Jay

Jay knew how to give you bars, a message, and make it enjoyable.

Idk what this shyt was.

I never wanna hear this again in its entirety.

 

[Renegade47]

This nikka ain’t rapping about shyt

EDIT: Kevin’s Heart beat

psuedo bullshyt. he saying alot of shyt thats been said before but delivering it condescendingly like he above nikkas.

album was a mid pack

 

[Waterproof]

let me see

Kendrick Lamar ~ Fake Artsy Psuedo Woke Black Militant

Big Sean ~ No Charisma Corny

Drake ~ Wave Rider

J. COLE ~ Upiddity Pseudo Intellect

Y'all nikkas never satisfied

When Jay-Z said You want the old Jay buy his old shyt and y'all nikkas was like

nikkas start being innovative, trying new shyt, y'all want the old shyt

 

[ineedsleep212]

People really think of Cole as some Pseudo Intellect type?

I thought his shtick was the average joe.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Halfway in this shyt is pretty wack

 

[King Kai]

I don't think it's bad and at the same time I don't think it's good

 

[Peak]

Album is like a 40 degree day.

In saying that 1985 will probably end up as one of the better songs that drop this year.

kendrick did that with damn

 

[King Ming]

WTF is this shyt!?

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Halfway in this shyt is pretty wack

Just finished, he's really 0-2 with these last two shyts. This might be even worse than his last one.

Needed to listen to some Tray Dee to wash this shyt off me
