J. Cole - KOD (Discussion Thread)

I feel like its fine. I do feel like he should branch out and work with different producers but I have no complaints about the beats on KOD.

I don’t know what music you currently have in rotation but this album is about as bad as production can get

You cool but the only thing you care about is how Drake sounds next to it so it don't really matter

You bought up Drake

an album with bad production loses replay value quickly

Hated the production on this when I heard it first, now this is my 2nd favourite Cole album

From the track Brackets to 1985 is all some of his best work. It's a textbook example of the evolution of an artist.

could’ve made “Photograph” a dope storytelling track. Still like it tho

I like Cole's non-trap production, at least often enough for me to not dismiss him completely as a producer. Over used sample aside I fukk with Once An Addict's beat. The Cut Off prob my favorite beat on there, love that shyt. 1985 sounds like some Tribe shyt, I like it. Breh should just let people who actually go to clubs do the trap beats for him.

This album is a rare example of an album I hated when I heard it, but over time grew to really like

He might be but I still love the album. Cole needs to branch out and work with other producers though.

Albums really good but honestly never had a ton of replay value to me kinda came and went didn't have huge staying power like 2014 FHD

KOD by far had more replay value than most cole shyt. Ionno, cole puts out albums I can play for a couple months yet never contains anything so memorable that I need to come back to it years later. KOD was entertaining at least

Once an Addict. Hip hop needs more tracks like this. Breh recorded the sound of him putting his soul on a track.
