Seing y'all writing this makes me way too happy man. Also my favorite on the album, for all the reasons you guys said, everything adding up with the damn outro dropping at the end was too much for me to handle man some tears spilled out. And the fact it leads to interlude as well bro naah, it's such a blessing to be alive and be able to listen to this 🙌🎧🌃
y’all missed the craziest bar in “let go my hand” where he name dropped 3 groups and kendrick “ignorance is bliss” name of kendricks song “and innocence is just ignorance before it’s introduced to currency and clips” the group Curren$y and the group Clipse “or bad licks that have a n***** servin three to six” Three-6 Mafia. cole is just insane
J.Cole is loved in the Carolinas. He is a average, relatable dude that is approachable. He's a great storyteller. Me being from Greensboro, NC... I am proud of him. Shout out to Fayetteville, N.C. this album is a complete solid project. Bars, Bars, Bars!!! Substance & High Guality.
Let go my hand really gave me chills and I’m not even a father yet (17). But I have a little brother that I had to raise basically by myself because my dad’s not here and my mom is always at work. When he said “dad let go my hand” I wanted straight up start crying. This dude Cole is my goat
The storyline in "close" puts a lump in my throat bc I have had bad feelings and dreams about my bestfriend before she passed away. Chokes me up Everytime ngl.
Cole connects better with his audience and is more relatable, and Kendrick is kinda like high art (not really but just in comparison) since he mostly touches on more complex themes like the song “how much a dollar cost” . I love both
fuck that he's number one. Kendrick is great too but J. Cole's music is so enjoyable to listen to while also being smoother and just as intellectual as Kendrick's.
Came back after listening to Donda and CLB and yes this album tops both of them. Donda its quality production of course cause its YE but the album its all over the place, CLB its Drake so we will hear couple of songs played everywhere but thats just what it is a bunch of good songs put together. This album tho, the storyline fits through every single song and for me personally, thats what an album supposed to be. Now waiting on Kendrick.
its rare where an album will leave me a awe! when i listen to this masterpiece yesterday, i was left speechless!!! and thats when i knew, classic status is he!!!
@@chubbycham8402 true group ones I think are better esp for this type of music and if they like the artist they are reviewing/reacting too but there was some really good ones as well I’mdontai had a really good one law twins and lost in Vegas even tho they have only done 95 south
J. Cole is grown fucking man music! My nigga on his GOAT shit. Album of the year already and it ain’t even summer yet. Now we just need Kendrick to drop something this year. ✊🏾🔥
I'm not an actual father but from a young age I had to grow up filling those shoes for my closest friend cause of his living situation. Growing up without a proper father character in my own life made that even harder and let go my hand hits heavy on me now that we are both on our own.
Been in the same situation. The dilemmas and hypocrisy you experience when you are trying to answer questions you don't even understand. Damn, I've veen there.
Y’all!!! THIS WAS A VIBE. Felt the same way listening to the album the first time but you guys have no idea how much fun I had listening along with you guys. Thanks for the good time!
How he unveiled a whole story using the same rhyme scheme on “close” is beyond me, just impeccable. Album of the year for sure, appreciate/acknowledge Cole while he’s here folks.
While doing college assignments and while listening to yall. Mannnn, my head was just nodding with yall. This album hits my soul and it makes me want to be better for myself! I've been putting Jcole album full blast everywhere I go and sound system bass 12' speakers w/ 175 watts amp....it is another level to listening to Jcole's album and it hits different too.
We different in the Carolinas. This singing/rapping style has been a staple of our sound since before all the mumble and futuristic trap. I'm glad we are finally getting the chance to prove ourselves down here.
Loved the review. Cole has to be respected as thee Goat after this project. It resonates on every level and for the core fans it lights that fire in ourselves to do more and better, to the point that it dam near has you emotional. Im proud to have been a fan since the warm up and witness the growth of the mastermind J. Cole. This guy is really a gift to all of us. The change we need to be and he leads by one hell of an example. This album is history
Man with how strong he came on this album, everyone aint askin if he can top off-season with the fall off. We askin if we really ready for the fall off. He said he was holding sons OVER THE YEARS that he needed specially for fall off
I think with let go my hand, when he said “My last scuffle was Puff Daddy” I think he was referring to the time when Puff was finna pour a drink of Kendrick Lamar’s head over his verse on Monster but J.Cole broke that up and that was in like 2013 On a side note: the album was really good
This album is a straight journey of flames. Truly album of the year and im still bumpin it. Love to see people's genuine reactions and thoughts on it. This was great from start to finish guys 👏 👏
OH MY GOD this is the first time I connected the “Krispy Kreme dreams” line to the “sometimes my dogs want to kill 12” line!! That’s crazy, I’ve listened to this song like 100 times and never got it till I saw this teaction
Hands down, best album of the year so far. Impeccable album. Gave those old school soul music sample vibes, reminiscent of Mos Def, circa The New Danger era. Brilliant album🔥❤️
Wow I remember when I really got put on to J Cole with Forest Hill Drive and I listened to his previous stuff up to now and I'm not surprised this man is different bro like this man is a G.O.A.T and salute to the ITC Squad for reacting to this stay blessed yall
“Jermaine? Cole? Talking bout the one that just said ‘I could put an M on ya head you Luigi brother now’? The real is back the ville is back? Ok yeah. What is you talking bout?”

that's tuff the only channel that do their own timestamps. respect.
We was trying to put it in the actual video but it wasn’t working lol
Bruh my life hits different every time I hear it
Glad to see brothers all together again 👊🏾
Just did the mental math and calculated my worth
Shit crazy, didn’t know I got more M’s than a real Slim Shady video
If you’ve gone channel by channel to watch this same reaction, like this shit cause Cole is the GOAT. Listened to this heat 12 times in a row
Easy!!! I can’t stop replaying! 🙌🏾
I’m on my like 7th reactor! I gotta make sure they all approve 🥸😭
Bruh dead ass I been peeping all the full reactions of channels I FW and newer channels I aint heard of haha
This is my 5th album review of the same album
What reactors y'all been listening too? No Life Shaq, Lost in Vegas are mine to name a few.
The album felt old AND new at the same time. Cole is otherworldly.
He's the middle child of rap
Facts I think that’s why some people say it’s bad they was juss looking for that old cole I like the new school cole it’s hard ever since the London
📠
Brought the 2000s back
The beat is what sound old
J. Cole: *How much smooth do you want the transition to be?*
Lil Baby: *Yes*
FACTS!!!! 🗣
That transition was spectacular 🔥🔥🔥
Lil baby just a tad bit underrated but he not on a GOAT level. Man can rap though for sure
@@mikeg4033 u trippin he is the goat check the stats and fan base..no hate bro
@@mikeg4033 facts lil baby is good but he's not on goat status still can't touch cole
Zero misses on the whole album, instant classic
📠
Wow you’re overhyping this lmao
@@purplenemo77 you heard him it’s a classic don’t make him have to say it again
@@purplenemo77 naw I’m usually really critical bout cole, but you can’t say that there is a single miss here
I think Cole went 10/12, and I’m sure those 2 songs will grow on me too
Crazy how Cole mentioned Mario, Tupac, Nipsey in the album and y’all wearing the shirts
That's actually insane
That's dope as hell
Kinda sus...
@@gradyharrison1656 absolutely sus. Either it was planned or the biggest ass coincidence lol
@@Belowthaheavenz coincidence my ass 🤣🤣🤣 you’re a fucking fool my friend I have some beachfront property in Kentucky to sale you...
If J Cole don't win multiple grammy's for this, shits rigged.
He can only get best rap album 💁🏻 you know how it goes for rappers
Drake always gets it
The course of inevitable>>>
nah trust gonna be some random girl again
Honestly it’s always been rigged in my opinion.
Anyone else notice how lil baby both mentioned what’s next and the bigger picture in his verse?
We caught that
Drake ft lil baby
Joyner ft lil baby
Cole ft lil baby
Kendrick ft lil baby?
@@MrBanks3323 if that happens, lil baby officially a legend
@@akiraofa I mean he juhh need a feature with Kendrick he already got a feature with the other 3
@@MrBanks3323 Kendrick & lil baby would be 🔥🔥🔥
Never heard a completely flawless ablum that man dropped 12 classics who does that anymore like gahhh damnnn
Fax, only one i didn't really feel that much was the climb back
@@deadmeme3167 the climb back is top 3 on this album wtf
@@prod.Gaurav Nah man.
@@prod.Gauravtbh, you can make an argument for each song in his album as a top 3 song
This album is amazing
Yessir
understatement
Cole be feeding us captions on applying pressure 😭😭😭
I’m so happy let. Go. My. Hand. Is getting the love it deserves. The beat puts me in a trance.
Lyrics are powerful which makes it even better
Fs it’s my fav Cole song with 4 your eyez only and adolescents now
And Bas Harmonies are just👼

Damn I missed that. That’s fucking insane
What the fuck
I got that line later on. Also I didn't know Curren$y was a group I thought he was a solo act. So ignorance is definitely bliss if that's true
I'm glad I'm not the only one, so good
@@TheyCallMeDance it's solo you're right

Facts! Raleigh, NC native and cole is an absolute legend in the city. Most respected artist to ever come out of NC.
This album is the best thing that happened to me in 2021
Amen
Let go my hand really gave me chills and I’m not even a father yet (17). But I have a little brother that I had to raise basically by myself because my dad’s not here and my mom is always at work. When he said “dad let go my hand” I wanted straight up start crying. This dude Cole is my goat

I’m the same age and my girlfriend could possibly be pregnant. I’m waiting on her to take a test.
@@ryantristani5091 update?
the vocal line in amari makes me feel emotional dawg

@@DonovanHaumpy Damn RIP 🙏
He snapped with the flows and rapping on this , literally spazzing
Man I done jammed “the climb back” so much that I was done listening to it. But listening to it in order with this album it hits so different!
True, fits soo much better in here. He should’ve released smth else as a songle this one is too good.
Cole and Kendrick are the only guys in the modern rap game that could say we're on the same level as Em, Pac and Big and I'd go "No Shit!".
Soon polo g and lil baby to fasho
Joey bada$$
@@kacperbaron2805 bada$$ hella underrated
Joyner Lucas
Lmao em cant fuck with them dudes man.. First he need to know how to choose beats.. I like em as a person but his music is basura
KOD : “ I’m warning ya’ll “
The Off-Season : “ *Aight bet* “
If Cole ain’t the literal goat of THIS generation then who is Foreal ? Lmk
Cole connects better with his audience and is more relatable, and Kendrick is kinda like high art (not really but just in comparison) since he mostly touches on more complex themes like the song “how much a dollar cost” . I love both
This is the type of music that inspires growth in the individual who's willing to listen to the message wrapped in platinum bars. Facts.
Love this. Every J. Cole album, y’all need to pause after every line. 🔥🔥🐐
J. Cole is in the top 5 rappers of this decade (2010-2020). Period. Album was absolutely flawless.
fuck that he's number one. Kendrick is great too but J. Cole's music is so enjoyable to listen to while also being smoother and just as intellectual as Kendrick's.
this is the reason it takes him 16 years to drop an album
Worth it
Best album of 2021! J Cole is the leader of the new school. Facts!!!!
Damn u gorgeous
21 be spittin lowkey… Cole the fucking goat! I would love to see a Cole & 21 ep
Was I the only one who listened to this whole album and was like "flawless victory".
The My Life Hook from Styles P first album song My Life, Cole just took it to a another level
I’m so happy you know where that’s from, only real hip hop listeners know where that’s from. Shit is a classic!
Pharoahe Monch kills that
I was racking my brain trying to remember where that hook was from. Thank you
Idk if y’all caught it but Dame is on the track called punching the clock cause of the Dame Time celebration where he taps his wrist 🔥
Makes sense
@@TheyCallMeDance he slick with it lmao.. fire reaction yall! 💪🏾
Yesssssss album of the year 🔥😩
I come back to this video every year. Never misses!
100 Mil is going to my vibe all summer long 🔥🔥🔥
He rhymed every word with close… he fucking different
Back after listening to Drake CLB and Donda and this album still slams way harder than any song of either album.
I was looking for this comment 😂😂
They don't knowwwww who we beeeeeee
literally 💀 amazing energy and meaningful lyrics i love it
Idk about all that but yeah
This beats CLB but Donda...? Really...? Jesus Lord alone is a beautiful record my dude...
This album gonna go in da books fo sho‼️ ALBUM CANT BE BEAT
We still need that Kendrick and J Cole colab album 😭😭😭😭

i wish i can forget this album and listen to it again
The Production on this album ist absolut fire! Boi-1da on 95 South and hunger on Hillside 🔥🔥🔥
How he unveiled a whole story using the same rhyme scheme on “close” is beyond me, just impeccable. Album of the year for sure, appreciate/acknowledge Cole while he’s here folks.
I nearly cry every time I listen to close. It’s hard having family in that life. 🥺😩
😭
Whole album is is album of the year worthy. Let . go . my . hand probably my favorite track.
Sorry Somebody Tellin Cole I Guess Not Enough For Me I Want The “DELUXE”🔥
Love the review. After my 3rd listen...I was sure...this album is a MASTERPIECE!
This an Absolute Masterpiece. No Doubt about it.
21 talkin about his mom and dad reminds me of my struggle props to my mom and all the single moms out there
The rap/hip hop game, NEEDED THIS ONE!!!
FACTS, and GEMS, were dropped throughout the album..
Y’all stay AUTHENTIC!! 💯
WesssUp!!
While doing college assignments and while listening to yall. Mannnn, my head was just nodding with yall. This album hits my soul and it makes me want to be better for myself! I've been putting Jcole album full blast everywhere I go and sound system bass 12' speakers w/ 175 watts amp....it is another level to listening to Jcole's album and it hits different too.
I come back to this video once every few months. Love the vibes in the room🙏🏽
This is a "press play, start to finish, no skip" classic! Damn Jermaine!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 Ross earned some frequent traveler miles on this one! LOL
The album is already a classic.
Looking at that P. Diddy line now changes so many things.
COLE ... JERMAINE... COLE
I have no words except 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Goat talk!
The harmonies in these hooks are outtaaaspacee... I cant listen to em enough... goosebumps all over me
The way cole dropped it and baby picked it up so fast 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He had the perfect features on this album, mans straight up goated 🔥
We different in the Carolinas. This singing/rapping style has been a staple of our sound since before all the mumble and futuristic trap. I'm glad we are finally getting the chance to prove ourselves down here.
Loved the Eminem shout out in Applying Pressure as well. Plus 95 south is my favorite song on the album! Album of the year hands down!
“We skip this one if u want ?”
Oh no proceed 😂😂
This album hit different it gives me the same nostalgia as forest hills drive

I put it on “A” no “plan B” a simple double but hits so hard
I am impressed, i slept on this too much...my goodness this album is beautiful
I like that he shouted out Ja Morant. The Lil Baby and 21 Savage features was surprising
Hunger. On. Hillside's ending with bas made me cry fr, shit's beautiful
Man with how strong he came on this album, everyone aint askin if he can top off-season with the fall off. We askin if we really ready for the fall off. He said he was holding sons OVER THE YEARS that he needed specially for fall off
I think with let go my hand, when he said “My last scuffle was Puff Daddy” I think he was referring to the time when Puff was finna pour a drink of Kendrick Lamar’s head over his verse on Monster but J.Cole broke that up and that was in like 2013
On a side note: the album was really good
*verse on control
Diddy delivers the prayer at the end of the song. True growth there, life is bigger than any BS

I’ve never been a j cole fan but for sure am after hearing this album 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 from beginning to end #albumoftheyear
Had to get the squad for this one 💪🏿
Definitely a new respect for Bas! 💯
