J. Cole - KOD (Discussion Thread)

397k (174k of which were traditional sales/physicals). Great numbers overall but I'm really curious about the big drop from 4YEO's physical sales. Also will be interesting to see what happens in the next week. I'm expecting it to hold pretty well. Kevin Hart video plus the Kanye stuff has Cole getting a lot of attention right now.

A big drop in physicals may very well just be a reflection of the population as it continues to hop on the streaming platforms.

yea album came and went. I thought it was trash. outside of the Coli and the first day it dropped on Twitter I haven't seen, heard anything about the album at all. just like his last album nobody heard this is absolute trash

Cole consistently drops horrible albums. most overrated rapper in a long time

This album is solid, it's actually great.

I didn't like KOD during my initial listens, I was very disappointed; production: lacking & hooks: unbearable. After seeing and loving the visuals for ATM, I thoroughly enjoy the song, which glanced over during my initial listens. Later I decided to face my fear and listen to KOD again to confirm my disdain; that didn't happen. It resonated with me; production and hooks that were initially lackluster, became understood and infectious after I listened and digested the lyrical content.

I can play it from top to bottom without skipping a track.​

I hope people re-visit KOD. it's a dope album.
I hope J. Cole continues with the dope visuals which will help people listen, digest, and re-visit KOD. The visuals [particularly ATM] make J. Cole more personable, like a cool ass creative dude.

I had the exact same experience Didnt like the production on first listen, but the album grew on me a big way after seeing the two videos. Fascinating that many people feel the same way.

Haters actually could say he's trending downward considering he did 500K last release.

ATM is the only song I actually like. That and 1985. The rest is forgettable.
