Foldin clothes is not a random song. Depending on your interpretation of 4yeo, it can either represent James (Cole's friend) wanting to settle down with his partner and escape his rough past living in the streets, or it can represent Cole wanting to help James' family after James is killed (by doing chores, etc).

4 your eyez only is a crazy underrated album, especially the title track, this is the "Samidot" of Cole, not because of it's length, but because of it's message and thematic purpose on the respective album.

They are just looking at the song in its singularity instead of the whole album and this song being a piece in a bigger puzzle. Anyone thinking folding clothes is just about cole "chilling at home" couldn't be more wrong.

I didn't even see where they placed foldin clothes. Where exactly did they rank it, i cant seem to find it.

Apparently (pun intended), I think "Foldin Clothes" wasn't terrible and didn't deserve to be as low as it was ranked. It feels in contrast to the rest of the album, no doubt, but I almost feel like it was meant to be that way. It highlights the "mundane" of the day to day life and how love doesn't always need to be "extravagant" or "flashy" and that just doing something boring that you may not necessarily like for your significant other is its own way of showing love. I think this was an overall theme throughout the project - looking through the lenses and perception of others for all situations or stories.

Love that you guys had “change” up there. One of my favourite songs of all time and have been telling people this forever. The way he crafted that song to make you feel like you were in James’ world and were with him as he struggled with all these internal and external battles is truly beautiful. And the whole idea how even though sometimes in life we finally make that change, unfortunately sometimes it’s too late. The whole concept and craftsmanship behind 4yeo makes it one of my favourite albums of all time and I truly don’t know if we’ll ever see another album like it. He truly told the story of James while highlighting so many issues in our society and in inner city North America

Change is my favorite J. Cole song. It’s tough to make a list like this. Think you guys mostly got it right

Hello is one of J Cole most touching songs. If you really take the time to feel what hes saying you’ll get it. He’s talking about lost love and how time passes by and now the women you once were in a serious relationship with has a kid and its tough for Cole to go through that and has to move on from her. “And damn that makes 2 now Oh what do I do now? 'Cause if we ever got together I'd have to be them niggas step-pops forever And well that I ain't my thing cause I I ain't even got my own And I ain't really got no home No place to put these things I own” Wow this song writing was really under appreciated when putting this list together

Yeah they're trippin having that song so low.

Friends and folding clothes are too low for me cause they send out a great message, maybe friends is a 10/10 but it's a 7/10 at least. Cole speaking out on people using drugs as a coping mechanism and telling them there's better ways to cope and kill Edward saying why he uses drugs and how he feels after the pressures leave him after he smokes is great. And folding clothes is just a love letter of a song(literally). Its definitely a 10/10 song and the message is great cause he's showing how much he loves his partner, him wanting to fold her clothes is just a small gesture to show he loves her and would rather do her chores and let her sleep in peace than wake her up, him doing all these cheesy things like having a Netflix series they watch together and eating raisin beans cause of her. If you've been in love before you know all this cheesy stuff and doing it with/for/because of the woman you love is a great feeling, and it shows how much he loves her cause this is a street bigger he's that's doing this stuff, he realizes that he's going soft but he doesn't care. This album was a message of a real nigga to his loved ones and to the world and it fits perfectly to this album cause it's a love letter to his lover

NO SHOT YOU DID AMARI THAT DIRTY, NOW SIDELINE STORY, you guys blow

Amari, runaway, workout and gods gift that low is a crime

Honorable mention to False prophets and Everybody dies, false prophets was one of the first songs that got me into rap

Coles one of the first rappers I really started enjoying, this was a WHILE ago too

Great job guys. Was super fucking happy to see Too Deep for the Intro and Before I'm Gone so high up, both easily top 10 songs. Also agree that Rise and Shine should be a top 10 song as well.

I think the duality of foldin clothes it what makes it one of Cole’s best and one of my favourites off that project. The fact he talks about relationship in whichever persons point of view and then talks about Men in the hood and how they have to put this Fassade in life. It’s executed soo well

25:06 I was literally at wireless festival when he performed Wet dreamz, it was one of my favourite moments of the entire festival, was so surreal seeing cole live for the first time ever too. An experience I’ll never forget.

Amari at 104 is insane bro, i love that song

As a die hard day one cole fan that was an amazing content from you guys. I think the ranking was very solid. I have couple of Knocks though … Amari should be higher, Rich should’ve been higher and losing my balance should’ve been higher aswell.. My fave cole track ever is Before I’m Gone so seeing you guys have it at #4 made me happy lol. God bless

This list is a very interesting intriguing mess lights please is the OG Cole fans anthem. amari is fire. lost ones 🤦 #67?? premeditated murder not top 10 or even 20???? that’s an OG classic Cole song from every musical perspective

I think 117 to 113 are horrible takes to be honest. Also I believe Amari (at 104) and losing my balance (102) should've been ranked much higher. I also wished u included some of his non album singles like False Prophets, Lion King on ice or even Javari which would've ranked so high on the list. Truly Yours too is a criminally underrated J. Cole project that has some of Cole's most chilling songs.
