Why J. Cole Became Overhated

Ойындар

Shoutout RDC... can't wait to go back to school tbh... things get boring at home.... anyways in terms of videos this week I'm going back to back soon... cole fans might hate this one but maybe they love it.

    Something about Cole’s music just captures fans in a way other artists can’t. You either gravitate towards it or you don’t, but you can’t deny the passion he has for the game. Best part about it all is his run isn’t over… It’s A Boy January 28 🙏

    Benny made a mention of the lack of energy in J. Cole’s 4 Your Eyez Only. Now, this is one of my favorite albums by J. Cole because of this, because it illustrates how normal this man’s life really is. Despite living through the death of friends, his fatherhood fatherhood and his incarceration, the man in the story lives a life that is normal to many people in the demographics of the story. It is the story of a common black man, similar to The College Dropout and good kid, m.A.A.d. city. But instead of the youthful humor and naïveté of these stories, J. Cole’s character was more mature and a lot darker. So a lack of energy did not, in my opinion, take away from the power of 4YEO.

    For Your Eyez Only is a great album. Music is subjective and of course, you don't have to like it. IMO it takes a more mature approach to life and themes around it. It very well encapsulates the growth of Cole not musically, but also as a person.

    There's a certain vibe to a lot of J. Cole's music that I'm really gravitated to. If I were to describe it, his music has this "freshness" to it. It's like if the carefree, cool kid in school who plays sports was turned into music. I don't know how to describe it, but he has a really distinct vibe that I adore. I can only describe it as "fresh", that's all I can say.

    I think he's going to have a change of pace, with the off-season, possibly this year with "It's a boy" and The fall-off, he probably planned a sort of "trilogy" of him mostly abandoning conceptuality and starting to focus on the lyrical and production part even more. He released a song called procrastination a couple of hours ago and he said that he's feeling uninspired because it's a lot of pressure on his shoulders. But I think we should have faith in him because he has a lot of skill and he definitely got wiser in those years, I hope that with the next album people will fell in love again with his craft

But if you’re looking for a vibe, a feel good, to dance, or even something to blast while your cruising, you won’t like those two albums much but when you’re in a reflective space you will appreciate them more.

    I strongly disagree with your assessment about 4YEO only having lyrics as its' selling point. I think it features some of the best production in Cole's catalogue. The beats aren't straight up hip hop beats that have a heavy focus on the hip hop production fundamentals like hi-hats and heavy bass. The production is unique, melodic, beautiful, and jazzy. Instrumentals like For Whom The Bell Tolls, Immortal, Ville Mentality, Change, Neighbors, and 4 Your Eyez Only are my favorites in that aspect. It's not an album meant to be digested casually or everyday and I love that. Cole easily could have come out and made a album similar to 2014 FHD and everybody would be happy. Instead, he pushed himself creatively and artistically. He took a big risk and it's the kind of risk more artists could take. I respect your opinions though. Great video! Loved how it was edited and put together.

    You missed a bit of stuff out like the feature run and rotd but good video. I still think 4 your eyez only is his best album but at the same time I would probably feel like listening to some Forest Hill’s drive songs more. Maybe KOD was pushing the limit of the no feature thing but I think that choosing to not have features on an album is in itself choosing to go in a new creative direction so I think it’s harsh to blame him for doing it even if it lasted a bit longer than it needed and I think J Cole knows that now. There that’s my essay on J Cole.

He should've had Danger Mouse working on it. Also yeah... I'm happy having 18k ngl... its pretty cool, 2 months ago I was sitting at 2k subs

    I feel he way in which you consume an album matters in the way you interpret it. If I were to listen to a House song in class, it might seem repetitive & annoying. Simply because I'm not dancing or in the mood to do such things. Same with vulgar songs in genres like Soca, Dancehall, and Hiphop. Some want to get hype, and others want to chill. Some want to lament past relationships, and others want to praise their god(s).

    So 4yeo is a personal because that his home boy story and that why it an exception. But kod was alright, so when it comes to off season. It was a new take because of this was him continuing of features from the revenge of the dreamers 2. Basically saying you like him after the studio project which had over too much unreleased songs and watch the documentary on how it was created. Then my question to you is how you like d day because that another studio project.

    Now, I listen to J Cole ALOT. He is one of my favorite artists, and I can see why so many people didn't like 4 your eyes only or his music in general. You basically summed that up in the video but yeah.. basically there are alot of people who hate him and think he is corny or boring and that's fine! Everyone can hate or love what they want but I feel like something of the hate is unwarranted. The people who hate his music are likely people who like hype music or bangers so to speak. The thing is alot of J Coles music goes over peoples heads and thats why I honestly find it kind of laughable because there so oblivious or they don't even take the time to absorb the music or the lyrics. Like for example, everybody hated the song "Foldin Clothes" but that song actually had a much deeper meaning especially at the end which alot of people didn't catch. I won't get too much into that but that is just one of the examples. If J Cole still being relevant after almost a decade and more isn't a sign that he is worthy of being considered a hip hop legend then I don't know what to tell anybody 🤷
