    this dude straight up a real J.Cole's fan

  • @jeremydiesel7805
    @jeremydiesel7805 7 лет назад +1566

    It's actually about his friends daughter, Cole felt the need to write about it. He's telling a story of his friend being a drug dealer, selling dope to feed his child, him dying and Cole making an album as like a letter for his audience hence the name:4 Your Eyez Only

      HardRock Actually the same friend from 3 wishes on the 2014 Forest Hills Drive mixtape

    • @su-preeme69
      @su-preeme69 7 лет назад +28

      Oh yeah, I forgot about that song. Maybe it's all about the same friend. I thought of 03 Adolescence cause of these lines:
      "You bout to go get a degree, I'ma be stuck with two choices:
      Either graduate to weight or selling number two
      For what? A hundred bucks or two a week?"
      Two people from the same place but different outcomes in life

      It's because in his new videos he doesn't fake his reactions and act out more than he really feels. He's more real in his new videos. If you want entertainment watch someone else.

    4 YOUR EYEZ ONLY
    J COLE TALKS A LITTLE IN THE ALBUM THE ONE THATS MAINLY TALKING IS JAMES(J COLES FRIEND THAT DIED) .HE WAS DEPRESSED IN THE 1ST TRACK. MET SOME ONE IN THE 3RD ONE .MARRY THEM IN THE 5TH ONE. JAME DIES IN THE SONG CHANGE SKIPED THAT PART. AND FOLDING CLOTHES IS HOW JAMES IS HELPING OUT HIS WIFE CUZ SHE PREGNANT. AND THE BABY IS BORN IN TRACK 9. TRACK 10 IS HOW JAMES CALLED J COLE AND HE THINKS HIS BOUT TO DIE. SO IF J COLE COULD MAKE JAMES DAUGHTER A SONG AND PLAY IT FOR HER AND WHEN SHES READY AND CALL IT 4YOUREYEZONLY
    BOOM!!

    This whole album was about his friends life and a message to his friend's daughter, he said that his friend asked him to tell his story when he dies and in the last song he mentioned that "if you're listening then I'm probably dead" and he hinted his friends death in the song "Change" got it ? Like this album minus couple of tracks was cole talking from his friend's perspective

    If you listen to “change” hard on the service part, u can hear him(or if he’s acting as relatives or friends) angry and talking about revenge. I think it was awesome because he shows what the cycle really brings and brought them all together in one. Sadness, pain, anger, hatred, revenge.

    the album begins as J. Cole saying he doesn't think he wants to live anymore. But as the story goes on, he meets a girl on the song (deja vu). They fall in love (shes mine pt.1). as the album goes deeper, Cole realizes his friends are dying in the streets and he keeps selling drugs. Then he has a daughter (shes mine pt2). on the last song, Cole is rapping to his daughter saying sorry but if you're hearing this album I am dead the life in the streets got to me. That's when i realized something. The album isn't directly about Cole. its about his friend. J. Cole wasn't in the streets dealing drugs. He got out. His friend is the one on the last song rapping to his own daughter. Then, on the last verse of the last song, J. Cole himself appears and talks to his friends daughter himself. He tells her that her dad died from his life on the streets but was still a good person. now here's whats crazy, That means the whole album is technically his friends life. But is still J .Cole's life. everything that happens throughout the album to his friend technically happens to Cole as well. there lives are parallel one another. they both found a girl they both have a daughter. but at the end, his Friend passes away because of his life on the streets. J. Cole doesn't die. He lives on to share his friends story. 4 his daughters eyes only.

    Actually the whole 4YEO (the last track) was a message from James (who died in Change) to his daughter and before his death, called Cole to write down his story and pass it along to his kid. Cole himself came into the song in the last part "One day your daddy called me" and "And so I'm leaving you this record..."

    okay so this is late but for future watchers imma explain the album. this entire album is told through both jcoles perspective and also his friend who has passed away. in the last track ‘4 your eyez only’ the song is told through the perspective of the father of the child that was being talked about in shes mine pt. 2. which is also why in earlier tracks there is voice recordings of a little girl talking about her dead father. in the dead fathers point of view part of the last track, he says to “play this tape for my daughter, and let her know my life is on it” and the 4 your eyes reference is for the daughters eyes. in the dead fathers pov part of the song he also says “if you hearin this unfortunately means that i’m no longer with you” and “my pops was killed too, so i know how part of you feels” confirming that he was killed and is saying that he can relate to his daughter since his dad was killed as well. the last verse of 4 your eyez only is told through jcoles perspective and explains how the father told jcole that he felt like he was going to die soon. jcole also says that the dead father asked him to write his story down for his daughter to hear when he passes. then jcole switches who he’s talking to to the daughter telling her that the album is for her eyes only because it’s the story of the life of her father. and he further explains how her dad was a real one and how he was real cuz he loved her.

    I loved this album I went into listening with an open mind. It really shows his ability to really tell a story and create a picture that you can feel, see and understand. Many people don't like the album because they were expecting something else and was wanting something more or different. I feel that this was a very complex album from the beginning to end (every song had a purpose and correlation with each other which brought the album together and you can tell how he has evolved). Every time I listen I learn more and grasp what he is trying to express let it be from his friends perspective or his intertwined of how he can relate. J Cole makes good music and I can appreciate this album for you really have to LISTEN to it not HEAR it... Makes a difference in how you perceive the album. #EntitledToMyOpinion

    This album is not a widespread album.

Probably people who have a wide taste in music but that doesn't mean it's bad if you don't but some people

    Least favorite is Foldin Cloths because it feels like it overdoes the lovey dovey stuff. The instrumental is great. I wish there were more songs. The singles fit sonically but lyrically they don't, that's why they weren't on the album. Lyrics are great & beats are phenomenal. I don't think it will be as successful as his last project. I think the documentary gave me expectations that the album would be grand in scale. I wish the production was more like the Ville Mentality & the first track. I give it a 8.5/10 for now.

  • @linnz8507
    @linnz8507 6 лет назад +3

    The thing about folding clothes that actually makes it a really good track as well even if it’s not as lyrical as the rest of the tracks (aside from the ending), is the fact that it is exactly what it’s supposed to be - simple, which makes it complex in the end. It has a bigger meaning for being just the way it is when you put it in context of the whole album. The point of the song is to be simple and at the same time nice and uplifting, where it focuses more on the vibe and feeling rather than the content, which in it self creates the depht you might not get if you listen to it separately. It fits the album really well as the project goes through a lot of dark topics and complicated real life struggles. In that way I think Cole wants the song to reflect a mentality rather then the actual part about folding clothes; how everything doesn’t have to be hard and complicated if you focus on the light and the fact that there is hope. Like a positive reflection point and contrast in the middle of the album towards the subject matter. And the fact that he points out the actual folding clothes part so many times is actually pretty brilliant and relevant for the actual meaning behind. It shows that yes, these small things might seem inessential, but once we put them in a bigger perspective, we see how much they actually matter. And pushing that multiple times with super simple bars just paints that feeling of intense hope and the desperation of just wanting to feel good again in hard times even more vividely. In the last part of the song I feel like its even more evident how folding clothes also redembles the urge of a distraction and an escape from reality and the shit that’s really going on. You get the actual feeling of frustration towards the concept he tackles. As soon as I saw the connections I could enjoy the song much more and started to really appreciate it aswell

    What I find is cool is that Cole can affect us all a different way on each album. U love 2014 and I personally believe it does not touch born sinner, or even the warm up but I can't say ur wrong cuz they are completely different and that's somthing with Cole, his voice barley changes, flow barley changes, yet no matter what, each song affects a different part of us which isn't understandable yet is true. Pac was like Jesus, Nas wrote the bible, Kendrick is like god, and Cole is a close disciple.
