Never understood why this album gets so clowned on. Got a feeling people just want Cole to rap on trap beats like everyone else in the game does. But god damn, if you can get past that aspect, there's so much beauty and perfection in this album.

This album is unironically underrated. "It's so boring, it's sleeping music" that kinda criticism kills me. This album gets so slept on not just in Cole's discography but in hip hop history. I wrote a whole ass essay on Reddit about this album back in the day, but to keep it brief I'll just say it's Cole's best work with some of his best songs. The title track in particular is Cole's greatest song bar none imo.

When he says "well mother fucker I am" in Neighbors, he means that he's selling dope but not the kind his neighbors thought. He's selling dope music.

There’s a duality there. It’s about him, and about his friend, at the same time. Cole is selling “dope” as in dope music. But his friend was really selling “dope”, in the hood, to get by.

As someone who loves recommending albums...that final landing on 4 your eyez only is better received when its "spoiled".

Just to clarify, him saying "Motherfucker I AM" on Neighbors is a clever play on words. He doesn't mean it literally, this is him referring to the music he was making in the house as dope music, cause many consider cole's music as therapeutic and just like coke, it's like a substance that influences you psychologically and emotionally, so when he is selling those tracks, he actually is selling dope. 👍

Pop nailed it at the end. Little things come back and it's how you bat it. The whole album, finding love and then having a daughter is what gets him wanting to go on a straight path. On 4 Your Eyez, he starts the song talking about his girl is putting pressure on him. And how he can't get hired anywhere so he's in hell, stuck. Having your back against the wall in that environment is like a ticking time bomb.

@llwyd7513 Жыл бұрын

I personally love Changes. It made me feel like I'm important in the midst of being alone and living independently. I didnt really dig deep into its lyrics at first because sonicly alone, it speaks to me. The lyrics- the words fucked me up big time and I freakin love it. It'll be my anthem for a long time, until I'd be able to change for the best.

My appreciation for this album just doubled. I was in high school when this dropped and it got so much hate and my ears were too young to really disagree with the hate, but its so deep it wasn’t possible for me to appreciate it as much as i do now. Dont think it has as much repeat value as KOD does which I think is a very under appreciated J cole album.
