Cole leveled up approaching Off Season and So on. He realized he needed to stop tryna Play it safe and flexing sometimes is coo. His rhyme and flow approach changed, I believe he got a lil advice from some in his camp (JID).
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 🙏

Cole is aimed at the common man ngl
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.

The song 4YEO is an all-time classic. One of the best storytelling songs ever, portraying itself as a song by a man afraid of death recording it to play to his daughter if he does die.
One thing I think people don’t talk about enough is Cole’s love/rnb songs and features. He just meshes so well with that style.
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.
I think in the current music climate it would be next to impossible for an artist to release an album with zero features and for it to do as well as Cole did, it’s massively impressive. Still glad he did decide to change it up tho Great vid

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.

@@KingBenny I’m a former Cole Stan,and even I can admit he has gotten a bit boring. That’s for many reasons though. He also doesn’t exactly have a classic,Friday night lights probably still his best body of work and that’s sad when you think about it!
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
the first time I heard the line "who ever thought I saw the day I'm drinking ALMOND MILK" my brain totally shifted.

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.

4 your eyez only has 3 songs that if you even half pay attention are absolutely poetic and fire, “Change” and “She’s mine pt.1” and “she’s mine pt.2” u gotta give ‘em a listen, imo either of the she’s mine songs are equal or better than songs like mockingbird by Eminem

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.

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).

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 🤷

J cole soundcloud era was great also
I feel like Cole can make great singles but when he must make his own album most don't hit the mark. If we remove 2014 most of his albums aren't the type you listen to all the way through.

@@Gintoki_Madao My comment wasn't on his best album but how when you take his entire catalog into account not all of them are great. Thing is most songs that are people's favourites are from 2014 Forest Hills hence I used it as an example.

Bro u capping. 4YEO & The off season is my shit.
I just feel like hip-hop has become too critical like whenever I say I think J. Cole is the greatest rapper ever there is always a flock of people that have to say why my opinion is wrong like damn just let me like the music i like

Nobody ever hated Cole, it was the people running around yelling "double platinum with no features!!" As if that means anything.

I don’t think I overate j Cole but I hardly talk about him and I saw some of my friends saying that he sucked and was genuinely just confused cause i usually talk about how much I love Kanye music and not other rappers but like I fw j Cole and was genuinely confused on why someone would hate him
He gets called preachy but their is rapper after rapper releasing song after song about drugs, violence and money and it may be a different type of preaching, preaching negativity. Don't get me wrong, i enjoy gangsta shit too but its nice to have a bit of positivity corny or not.
