Yet another dud from cole,
hooks are definitely trash, more bland production,
And this nikka really needs to stop with the singing shyt... i dont get why he keeps doing that... bars are decent as usual and im sure the concept is cool but not enough to make me wanna relisten to this album again

Real solid project that has some gems. Favorite songs are BRACKETS, Once an Addict, Window Pain, and 1985.

Prolly only gonna listen to those songs from this album.

However, Cole really needs to start collaborating with folks. I know he prides himself on doing his own shyt, but he holds himself back sometimes.

Bruh every body gets the concept. Y’all did the same thing with 4YEO

A concept doesn’t make the music sound better if it’s poorly executed

Yep. This J. Cole KOD album is proving that eveybody can't just use the Migos flow and automatically make a good or catchy song. It's still a talent to it. This album slaw mane. Just cus u think it's deep doesn't make it good.:yeshrug:

The concept of the album is not necessarily "mocking" mumble rappers. If you don't have a stomach for those kinds of songs to begin with I don't expect you'll have a stomach for this one. This is the same thing with people who complained about DAMN sounding too commercial

Is Cole surrounded by nothing but yes men?

How could anyone Co sign these hooks, this singing and this production :mindblown:
It's obvious that he is.

Nobody is challenging him at all during his creative process. Dude really just makes music inside a bubble and thinks whatever he comes up with is the greatest shyt ever.

Even when he purposely tries to sound like other artists it still just sounds like tired ass same sounding J. Cole.
