Cole World! "4 Your Eyez Only" Dropping Dec. 9th

[bck145]

After the Kanye and wale shots Cole tricked me i thought he had a classic cooking. He singing with the same mediocre production...

It's not the production, it's him. Cole is lyricist more than he is an entertainer, ala Nas. Nas beats don't make him, he makes his music just like Cole makes his. However u wanna take that....all facts.

No nas is nas... no comparison. 2 albums ago Cole improved his production now it's back to mediocre

:joy: I didn't mean to compare him like that but it's the easiest way for this board to comprehend cause a lot of ppl dnt listen to Nas cause of his production(or so they say).

Problem is nas and others are so nice that you don't notice the bad beats as much....I didn't notice the production on born sinner or fhd

But he doesn't carry this album like he did those and the beats don't increase the enjoyability at all

2nd verse when he raps as his HS friend maybe it gave him the idea to make a whole project around that character

Thats my theory

Also in 3 wishes

He also raps about a similar character on the 2nd verse of "hold it down" from The Warm Up

Ville mentality an underrated favorite so far

I feel like she's mine pt2 and Neighbors are from Cole's perspective so it's not just his homie perspective throughout

Ville mentality is one of the better tracks but prolly has his worst singing vocals on it

 

[R.D.]

Idk never cared about rappers singing

No matter who it comes from, always felt authentic to me

 

[DarthRozay]

will cole ever drop a villematic aka classic?

 

[DarthRozay]

He still ain't hit the potential he showed on those first few mixtapes though, imo

 

[esco soprano]

Folding clothes growing in me .

Pause!

 

[usmarin3]

Cole needs a r&b singer on some of these songs

He can't sing

His hooks/chorus will always be his weakness as an artist imo. His hooks are really repetitive and his voice limits him as an artist. I don't mind when a rapper sings like Mos Def, Ceelo,etc if they're not tone def.

Cole would benefit alot if he sampled hooks and stop singing so damn much.

 

[trilladelic]

Eh..typical Cole album. It's good tho..

Both of those are from the homies's perspective. Listen to em again. Neighbors is especially obvious. When has Cole ever talked about trappin?

She's Mine pt 2 is not so obvious, the only part from his own perspective is the last verse.

 

[Nah Son]

Just had a crazy thought what if the album is from his dead homie perspective

 

[LcnsdbyROYALTY]

@"Nah Son" you so fuckin ignant bruh :joy:

 

[fortyacres]

'foldin clothes' knocks

lmao

 

[blacktux]

Damn man after hearing false prophets i was hype.

Then i found out thats not on the album. Hype started dying down.

Then yall saying its just an average album? Equal to or less than FHD? Hype dead.

Damn cole.

 

[DNB1]

I think he should have labelled this a mixtape rather than an album.

I like it tho...

Album is banging...

The album production is great, and it fits Cole perfectly. Add the fact that, it's a sound that's almost exclusively used by Cole.

I love this album.

Bob Marley wasn't a vocalist neither... Cole got the job done, sometimes that's better than a perfect vocal. Music is about feeling, not perfection.

 

[D0wn]

It's ok. Still got complaints about the production.

Ppl who complain about the production, what type of sound did y'all want??
