[@jalennorwood3740]

4 your eyes only the song was the realest shit I ever heard

[@jalennorwood3740]

The way he's talking as his friend and as himself

[@eriksanchez7286]

Jalen Norwood its amazing. i also loved kendricks mortal man ending somg for TPAB

[@juliosoares4880]

for me it sound even more similar to Sing About Me, one of the last songs in GKMC. He's talking in the perspective of people who passed as well, and both hit me hard. Both songs are between my all time favorites.

[@campfit_]

All of a sudden the 2014 Forest Hill band wagoners aren't feelin this album, good thing I been wit Cole since The Warm Up , and this album fire as always

[@paulh979]

Andrew Camp Band wagoners? That album was critically acclaimed and got him popularity, it was the LP that got me into Cole heavily. Of course, respectfully, I went back and listened to the rest of the discography. His past mixtape/LPs we're alright, people just wanna be hipsters and say that shit was the best thing they've ever heard. Some say that FHD was one of his worst albums when that's straight fucking lies, it's his best and that's no doubt. That album had the most bangers, the best wordplay that I've seen from Cole and it had some nasty instrumentals, to be more specific, original instrumentals. This new album was decent, nothing too insane.

[@nomorepartiezz]

Paul Hwang heavily agree with you. same situation as you. FHD will always hold a special place in my heart. his production and flow on songs like January 28th and wet dreamz are still so amazing to me. 4YEO is polarizing. imo. i keep half the album on constant repeat, but I never listen to the other half. change and 4yeo are some of his best songs of all time, but on the other hand we got shit like ville mentality and folding clothes.

[@campfit_]

Deathpool vile mentality is smooth tho

[@sophiagarcia8921]

Omg but they’re not band wagons 😂 my cousin went to his kod concert and his 2014 fhd drive 😂 my cousin has also been w j Cole since the warm up

[@jesseringle2979]

Idk how people can think Cole is trash

[@austinb9460]

Jesse Ringle Definitely not trash he's a great artist, they just think he's overrated which is a fair statement.

[@thechillywinds5810]

Jesse Ringle I can easily see how people think he is trash after hearing 4 your eyez only, however, if they said the same thing after 2014 fhd then they trippin.

[@Hylian1seven]

Nas literally passed on the crown to Cole with his own words. Kendrick praises Cole whenever his name is brought up yet people saying Cole is trash? im done man EDIT: J. Cole is recognized by Rakim, Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, etc as one of the greatest rappers of our time but according to some guys on KZbin, they're wrong because J. Cole is "boring."

[@bahbinski6231]

thagoverment preach

[@nemo2327]

thagoverment they are still salty over his first two "diss" tracks.

[@stalwartductcleaning1828]

thagoverment so just because 2 other artist like him means we should to? So you're a follower and you don't have a voice for yourself? So if bad and Kendrick didn't like him your ass would be hating on him too? You're a bitch?

[@Hylian1seven]

Lmao, completely missed the point. If 2 of the greatest rappers of all time call Cole great, means he is. You can dislike him, but don't ever disrespect him. Cole is a certified Hip Hop legend.

[@nemo2327]

This album wasn't the best of the year , but it was the realist. The story behind it is beautiful. j cole deserve props I don't know how you people can hate him

[@shawnbalisi8013]

Kingg Eddie Ab Soul is the realest

[@MrBeastknows]

Definitely not the realist, compared to other rappers who've already dropped. The story is kinda corny and nothing new but it's fine. The concept is the same thing. Half the album puts me to sleep and makes me cringe, the other half is actually pretty damn good. How could She's Mine Pt. 1 be shit, but Pt. 2 be excellent? Neighbors probably the best song. Don't get me wrong, he says some real shit. But like in the ending of Immortal, dude drops some Hopsin level cringe, which sucks because it was a pretty damn good song. I mean dude isn't as bad as Hopsin when it comes to the cringe, but he often hits the same notes. His fan base also pretty Hopsin level fan base bad lol.

[@jimmieweathers]

What was cringe inducing about the ending of immortal? Everything he said was rooted in fact and he even referenced the Billie Holiday poem Strange Fruit which was ill to me

[@markoboga5084]

Kingg Eddie Realest to me was blank face or Vice City by Anonymouz

[@LucasJG5]

ez album of the year

[@RollTide1995]

I wasn't feeling this album at first, but after a couple of listens, I'm loving it. Whole project takes you on an emotional roller-coaster. This might be his most vulnerable project overall so far

[@Josh_17]

Only reason people are giving it hate is FHD set the bar, anything he puts out after that, that doesn't have that quality will get loads of hate.

[@naruto1coolestfan]

nah false prophets and everybody gotta die set the bar, then the album sounded completely different

[@thedondon911911]

Joshy RangersFC FHD was basic too

[@naruto1coolestfan]

MUK the rap was either cheesy or boring, I fks with him but lyrically this whole album was basic. Also there's nothing wrong with having a slow conscious album, he just did it in a rlly rlly rlly rlly rlly slow way

[@TonyStark-po1yp]

Joshy RangersFC I actually liked this more than FHD

[@carlosmuller3565]

Imo 4yeo has a mixtape vibe. He wasn't doing this album for the fans, felt like he was just trying to vent out. But this album is fkn dooooope

[@HEAT3WADEan]

The album isn't from Cole's perspective. It's from one of his childhood friends who was murdered. The whole album is Cole telling his friend's story from the street life, to meeting the woman who would give birth to his daughter, to having his daughter and the thoughts and feelings he had about being a father, to his death. And this album was meant for Cole's friend's daughter to listen so she can understand who her father was. He wanted to let her know that yes he was in the street, yes he made so bad decisions that put him in danger but his proudest moment was being a father to her. He told Cole this and wanted Cole to relay the message to his daughter if anything were to ever happen to him. It's called 4 You're Eyez Only because it's for his friend's daughter's eyes/ears specifically.

[@maxbreuer3595]

I think you kinda got it wrong, quint! Most of the Album is from the perspective of his friend who died at the age of 22. Like Cole said in his last track, his friend wanted him to tell his daughter his story, and Cole did it with this record

[@hassanelkhalil8454]

Whats the story

[@blonded504]

Hassan Elkhalil the story is about Cole’s friend that was shot and killed and the album is basically his life story for his friends daughter to treasure as a gift from her father to her

[@ehmjaye]

Can the J Cole haters please explain why exactly they think he is trash? In a civil manner?

[@euanboyd1235]

Insight nigga he put me aschleep

[@Josh-dy4lq]

Insight he is boring most of the time but most people hate him just to hate as a joke

[@longlivesteelo4773]

He's super boring, BARS are weak, he's all hype. Too many dickriding fans make it impossible to even consider this nigga a good artist

[@starz333]

Insight he's completely boring and overrated. So many people praise this nigga when he is so average and that is what draws a fuck tonne of hate. He has a few good songs but overall he is so average. And when people say "you don't understand the message in his music" there is way better artists than cole that constantly gets praised. He's no where near Kendrick, Earl, Andre3K, Nas, Doom, etc. when it comes to portraying messages through rap. I hope that answers your question.

[@michaelshearer5880]

Air you mentioning kendrick in the same sentence as doom, 3 stacks and nas sums up why I hate kendrick fans lmao he isn't anywhere close to that level especially dooms level.

[@marrycervantes5342]

If you noticed the album isint hype or sum he made this album mainly because one of his best friends were killed by a police officer and he had a daughter and j.Cole is thinking about how her daughter is gonna feel when she grows up and is basicly dedicated to her and in the song 4 your eyes only he explains that he's dad was a real niqqa cause he loved her so its mainly to he's bestfriends daughter but he also includes other things

[@Rat__Feces]

Marry Cervantes exactly, and the reason people don't like this album is because it's not full of bangers and people can't listen closely to these deep bars

[@marrycervantes5342]

Lenny the Crafter Guy yuh and they won't like it specially because their not real cole fans like in his first song the storm he talks about Nina cheating on her man and it can possibly be about the family j.Cole was talking about in 4 your eyes only

[@musicchairreviews2498]

I'm going to say this. I don't think J. Cole is trash. He just doesn't deserve the pedestal his fans gave him.

[@austinb9460]

Thanks for maturely stating your opinion instead of trying to get a reaction out of disliking J. Cole. I share the same opinion. He's a good artist for sure but pretty overrated.

[@AlienCreatureThing]

Music Chair Reviews Him and Kendrick are both heavily overrated. They're good rappers but their fans make it look like everything they release deserves a Grammy or some shit

[@musicchairreviews2498]

Deucalion I wouldn't say that about kendrick. he's to creative and actually task risk with his music and sounds. The thing about kendrick no one in the mainstream let me repeat in the mainstream comes close to taking his spot. that people that listen to underground know rappers that can give him a challenge. Kendrick is right where he deserves.

[@AlienCreatureThing]

Music Chair Reviews he's an extremely good artist, but that doesn't change the fact that he is very overrated. Untitled to his die hard fans is AOTY and it's not even close. And he cant be on a song with another artist without people saying he bodied them. I love Kendrick but some fans need to chill, same with Cole.

[@musicchairreviews2498]

Deucalion i've learned not argue about rappers with more than one responce. That's how you feel. I'm not saying he's the GOAT or best right now. but compared to those in the mainstream he is by far the better MC. Many come close but they have taken more L's then him.

[@azania1243]

am i the _only_ one who actually likes this album? people are really jumping on this trend of hating on Cole for no reason. Don't get me wrong, FHD was better but 'Immortal' is a banger imo 💯 smh at least he ain't mumble rapping 🙄

[@rnoel5220]

Just incase no one knows, the song called "neighbors" by jCole is based on true event where jcole neighbors in the suburbs called the cops cause they saw alot of people coming in and out the house so the neighbors thought jcole was selling drugs out the house but the real fact is Cole usually rents his house out to the poor sometimes so they can get back on their feet without spending a lot of money on a apartment or house. but instead of asking cole about the situation the nieghbors decided to call the cops on him, swat team showed up and knock the door down only to find no one in the house cause jcole was on tour and his buddy was out getting food and finding nothing but a studio room in the house. look it up its true

[@cloned3763]

If you listen back to the album especially the last track you'll see the album is about his close friend and his life. The album was made for his friends daughter in memory of his fallen friend. most of the album is told from his friends perspective until the last track

[@thechillywinds5810]

[@emdingus6580]

I never post comments on videos, I tend to lurk a lot. But I've been bumping this album since it dropped, and Quint you crack me up everytime. The reason this is a big deal to me though is because I lost one of my best friends almost a year ago now. We would chill and listen to Cole every single day, and I remember when Forst Hills came out I showed him your reaction video. Bro, he couldn't fucking breathe. So when 4 Your Eyez dropped, I felt guilty bumping it without my boy. Watching your video today though made me feel like I was with him again, just laughing and busting jokes like we used to. It's funny too, when I tell you my boy looked like Biggie, I swear people would stop him on the streets. I know it probably doesn't seem like much, but this video is a blessing, thank you. And to my boy Bucky, I know he's bumping this album with me every single time. Much love.

[@RaulBestt]

In the last track '4 Your Eyez Only' Cole is rapping from his friends perspective explaining to the listener that he was getting caught up into a bunch of trouble with the law for selling drugs, violence, doing hood stuff having run ins with the cops and getting locked up. Eventually getting out and trying to turn his life around for the better, it was hard for him to do so having no school education and a lot of felony charges; getting a job always seemed impossible for him so, he would always go back to to doing the same old things. The song leads into his friend finding out he's going to have an unexpected daughter named Nina which is basically his life. He's telling his daughter to grow up and make something of herself. Her dad is telling her to not live the lifestyle that he's living and to grow up to marry a man that isn't like him either. As the song gets deeper J. Cole is talking to his daughter but the trippy thing about that song is he was rapping from his homeboys perspective the whole time and basically explaining the lifestyle he used to live and what he was doing in order to provide for his own daughter. As the song progresses Cole is talking to himself from his friends perspective and foretelling Cole that he doesn't think he's going to make it to see another day, throwing Cole off guard and trying to figure why he thinks he's going to die but instead of telling Cole his friend is reminiscing on his friendship and telling Cole that he wished he could've lived a lifestyle like him and is asking Cole to look over Nina and make sure she grows up well. Cole's friend also wants Cole to share his story and play is for his daughter (his friends daughter) once she's ready and is all grown up is able realize how he lost his life. As the song progresses Cole tells his Nina that his dad was sacrificing a lot in order to make sure she was good although it wasn't the right way by selling drugs and doing all these other things nonetheless he made sure his daughter was ok. The song is one of the dopest tracks I've ever heard from J. Cole due to the fact that he basically told a whole story in a track which was super deep. And painted a picture for the listener which is super dope to me!

[@jackhuscher6958]

The album was not only about him but about his friend. They grew up in the streets and lead very similar lives. Cole raps from each if their perspectives and makes it seem like one. However, Cole made it out, but his friend couldn't and ended up dead beside of it. They each had a daughter and the last song was Cole telling his friends daughter that he was a good person, even though he got caught up in the wrong life. He is finally delivering the message to his friends daughter, which was his friends final wish. This album goes deep as shit and is truly a master piece for people who take the time to understand lyrics and who are able to piece together a story and interpret a deeper meaning than what is on the surface.

I honestly like this album because it's very different from Cole's previous work. It's less "poppy" and more "jazzy" and smoother. I hate it when people jump on a hate train when an artist tries out something different. Perfect example would be Kanye West.

[@philliphackett8677]

What people missed about this album is that he's speaking from his friend James' perspective on the whole album. On the last track, he talks about how James told him to make this album to leave for his daughter because he felt like he wasn't going to make it. J. Cole isn't speaking from his own perspective, he's talking to James' daughter on this album, detailing her father's life on every track.

I love watching Big Quint videos. When he posts a video a get all happy and warm inside

[@alexostrem6599]

The entire album is actually about his friend. It's actually told entirely from his friend's perspective. It's a 3rd person story told in the 1st person. For whom the bell tolls talks about how his friends wants to kill himself, essentially starting at the end of the story. Then Immortal talks about how this friend got caught up selling dope. After the first 3 tracks, the next 3 are talking about this girl his friend met, ended up marrying, and how she's eventually changing his personality. Then it goes back to talking about the life of his friend as a drug dealer in Neighbors. In Foldin Clothes it's talking about how his friend's wife is continuing to change him and how by folding clothes and doing laundry with her it's keeping him out of trouble in the streets. Then in She's Mine Pt. 2 Cole's friend has a daughter (obviously) and she becomes the #1 priority in his life. The story actually makes perfect sense once you realize that he's not talking about his own life whatsoever on this album. We can know that because he's already said in previous tracks such as 03 Adolescence that he's never sold drugs, although there was a time in his life that he wanted to to make a quick dollar, but his friends wouldn't let him.

[@jackmorgan7097]

the song 4 your eyez only is about james mcmillan jr, who is featured at the ending of change. he is telling cole to tell his story to his daughter after he dies and explain to her everything about him. the last verse is cole rapping to james' daughter and telling her how much he loved her and so forth. it is very similar to sing about me in that he is telling the story of his friends who passed much like kendick did on GKMC.

[@jackmorgan7097]

also in the skit of the little girl speaking about her father passing in ville mentality is james mcmillan jr's daughter talking about her fathers death.

[@Cintothechordguy]

[@LUVRG1RL]

you know your channel good as hell when you excited for a damn reaction.

[@eduardomontes3854]

It's funny when people give their reaction and review to the album and think J.Cole is talking bout himself and you really know what the hole album is about

[@beatsbykana]

the story behind neighbors made me like that song the most

[@dennisthechicagokid3509]

Quint the message is about his friend James. The album is for James' daughter, he goes in depth on the last track about he's gonna be incarcerated and/or die. So J.Cole made it for her EYEZ only, but J.Cole has recently gotten married, and had a daughter of his own. So it's a mix of his past as well with his wife, messages to his daughter, and James' daughter as well, but the main perspective is from James' because this is the best favor he can do for him. So in the coming years both girls will listen to this album and know about many things. The perspective and understanding of this album is very important. It changed my EYEZ, on all the songs and lyrics.

[@troycummings709]

if cole sold crack at anypoint he would have made a dope ass trap rapper which is shown in that second verse of immortal

[@nimley76]

Sure, it does seem like more and more people are beginning to hate on Cole. Nevertheless, the dude sold 500k first week. What other "rapper", not popstar (ie Drake), can do those numbers? I believe his goal is not to be the best, but to impact people's lives. And he is doing that better Kendrick, or whoever. You might think he is boing but millions of people, including me, enjoy his music.

[@nimley76]

scmoG Did I ever say Cole was better than Kendrick?

[@JDGWI]

they're on the same level

[@damikadiri3730]

Jackson Nimley you did say he was doing it better than Kendrick

[@Wavyhustle90]

[@freddyreyes1783]

Its actually not about J.Cole, but about a friend of his that passed away and how his friends life is parallel to his, the album is for his friends daughter, For HER Eyez only
