@@fxrdothere’s a reason Nas co-signs Cole People say he’s boring or corny but I never got that He ACTUALLY has the flow that we wished to hear on records The sad thing is? His blow up happened around the time of the resurgence of Battle Rap Which to be fair, bar wise? Cole ain’t as good as a the battle rappers But that’s kinda unfair cuz 98% of the industry is bar wise weaker than battle rappers Cole is a solid writer rapper as well as a songwriter. Which is a bit different from writing just bars He’s great overall. And you right. Most the older folks LOVE Cole
Yeah he gives a semi old school vibe and is pretty lyrical, but he is more digestible than most other lyrical rappers for people who aren't heavy into rap
This album cemented Cole as an all time great in terms of rap ability. Flow, Cadence, Bars, even his vocal inflection you can feel every emotion he’s trying to get through. Its crazy that he has albums and mixtapes people consider classics that he dropped a decade ago yet his rapping ability is steadily improving until this day. Hes one of the goats for sure
@@TheJmsJose97 it’s consistently one of my favorite Cole songs he was SNAPPING but the mixtapes is where he was really rapping like the rent was due (it was) 😭

Cole levelled up his rapping skills on this album as he said in his documentary. Doing 7 min drills and stuff. Continue to seek improvement all the time which is also evident in his feature runs. Respect! 🫡
Man this album def has Cole's best rapping on it. He evolved like a goddamn pokemon while makin this shit. Got me excited for but also dreading The Fall Off, I do NOT want this man to retire just yet.
the climb back a contender for my favourite cole songs of all time. not just for the rapping cole an underrated prod as well, the instrumenal on that one especially is heavenly
I completely agree with the off season being top 1 j. Cole album. With most of the top artist, their earlier projects really showcased their skills and because they had something to prove. In their new projects they just do what they want whether it’s the best they can do or not. With Cole, it just feels like his hunger is getting stronger at every project, it’s like even though we all know Cole is one of the greatest, he feels he still has something to prove, and I love that about his music. Great video by the way, love yalls channel! 🖤
I just saw on spotify that my most played song of all time is 95 south just because of how many times I have started this album over again for another listen! Thanks for the reaction!
Ohhhhhhhhhh snap, I’m here for this!!! Watching this album discography for J Cole and Kendrick, man I really can’t decide. They are both so good in their own ways and I can’t imagine music without one or the other but that’s just me.
the whole album is a certified classic. but there’s something about hunger on hillside. i think production wise, it’s the best thing cole has ever done. (not best song) but he took a huge step up with that song. that’s the crown jewel of this album. it’s the love yourz of this album.
I always tell everyone that there’s something special about hunger on the hillside. The whole album is absolute fire but that track just stands out to me
I appreciate this bond you have with your pops. I can tell you enjoy and appreciate the music more BECAUSE your dad likes it more. It’s a great feeling when people appreciate things you like but it’s a little more special coming from pops. I LOVE this album and your enjoyment makes me enjoy it more.
So glad ya'll finally did this album. Fav Cole album hands down. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 Classic. Best of the decade. Cole to me is the purest MC over K. Dot and Drizzy. He appeals to new headz, old heads, women, children. He can do it all and not feel like a sellout or a boring lyrical miracle MC. Plus he's humble. Shout out to pops cuz he understands real hip hop. Best channel on YT! Love yall!
@@Forrestminds I know but since they were confused I just wanted to let them know what it was intended to be and why he used a 6 other than it looking like a b.
Close is in the top ten of Cole. Come fight me. And you are right this is his best work to date. The album doesn’t miss Nothing. Singing, flows, bars, Rhymes schemes, Story telling. And he managed to do this with 12 songs. My best personnal is 4yeo but i have to admit that this album is Cole at his best. It doesn’t get enough praise!
there's a lyric in a 6lack song called "Imported" that says "Hi my name is black but sometimes people call me six lack, i don't mind because they stubborn and my bank account be lookin' mighty fine"
I 1000% think this album is better than 2014FHD, hands down. I think that album just has a nostalgia and sentimental importance to many, which I can’t relate to. I do think it’s great though. I just think this one has sharper writing, much better production, and much better performances. I think Cole is performing at a much higher level now.
Looking at how you and your dad were vibing to the chorus on "My Life", I would love for you guys to do a react on Morray's debut album "Street Sermons". That album is criminally underrated.
I see Pops like Bas....he KILLS the vocals at the end of 100 MIL!...💯💯💯 Don't forget to play the 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time double disc by Big K.R.I.T. for him too. It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!
Crazy that I just had a convo with my group chat. The homie said he liked concept album Cole better. But for me I feel this album is strictly to show how great his skill is and I appreciate the hell outta that !
Loved this one 🔥the hype and excitement on your face for your father to listen to this heat is priceless. I feel it as I sit with the same energy watching this🔥🔥you're right, this album don't get talked about enough. Cole switched gears on this one SOOO HAARDD Love y'all video's ❤
I wouldn’t go so far as to say this album is better than FHD but it’s definitely in Cole’s top 3 albums and it never got the love it should’ve got when it dropped. It’s near perfect. The lyrics, the variety of flows, the production, features. Some absolute bangers like My life, to the more mellow joints that tell a story like Let go my hand (one of my fave Cole songs ever), this is indeed Cole at his very best.
This album was fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Definitely up there with his best in terms of albums. 2014 Forest Hills Drive and Born Sinner are a couple of my favorites! KOD is another underrated good one too.
People don’t understand when this album came out, everyone had a different favorite song it’s not like how drake everyone says rich flex is the best song, that’s shows how good this album is
Y’all are incredible please keep doing this. I love listening to yall while I work. You do all my favorite artists and I can’t wait for you to do the rest of them. Gotta do xxx and juice wrlds discography’s. They were my favorite artists and have really deep messages in their music
The 6 in 6lack comes from him growing up on the east side of Atlanta. Based on the police codes, the city is split up into zones, so the East side of Atlanta is Zone 6.
I know you guys only do album reviews, but you should look into reacting to Coast Contra freestyles. They have definitely stuck to the traditional essence of hip-hop, which is totally different from where the genre is heading. Never freestyle is what put them on the map. I've been checking for them ever since.
The Off-Season was 🔥 J. Cole was in the prime of his life this dude bulit different My favourite track is My Life with Morray & 21 Savage I played on repeat 21 Savage got bars, Morray was awesome and J. Cole gone stupid and he's snapped certificated banger they need the music video of My Life for it.
I one million and one percent agree, this is the hardest project he has done thus far. 95 South, Interlude, and the climb back kill any songs being released right now..
Can't wait for born sinner (hope you're going to react to it) and don't forget to mention that Cole changed the release from june 25th to 18th, the same day that yeezus dropped. Also another banger video, take care love you guys
Great Reaction. Keep doing y'all thing!! As far as favorite Cole albums, I think this is his best rapping album bar for bar (they all are great tho). But I still have 2014 FHD above it for other reasons. Songs like Love Yourz, Apparently, and just the entire roll out of going back to his childhood home give it that sentimental value for me. Excluding mixtapes, here's my album order: 2014 FHD The Off-Season Born Sinner KOD Cole World 4 Your Eyez Only
@@personalinformation7192 yea it's still a great album! The others just have things that hold more weight to me. Like Cole World to me is above it because it has a few of Cole's most memorable hit songs, even til this day. Back when he was searching for hit records. And being the debut I have fond memories of where I was during that time. KOD being his most experimental album I would say and has more replay value for me. Born Sinner, TOS, and FHD are certified classics so nothing to say there. 4YEO probably is his deepest album for sure though.
it seems the more your pops listen to Cole, the more he likes him. in my opinion Cole is one of the best artists to introduce to the older generation.
facts!! cole always seemed wiser and more mature than most artists his age and was all about the grind, makes sense why pops likes him so much.
@@fxrdothere’s a reason Nas co-signs Cole

His born sinner album for me was always his first classic. I really don’t give af who disagrees. Junior year had me bumping that daily till this day

My favorite part of these reactions is when dad is absorbing the music for the first time and rod is just vibin’ next to him.
Bullets be hummin like cudi a hard ass bar 😂
This gave me the biggest smile 😃 the Cole love is real and it was such a entertaining time going through this album again with yall

Not me thinking you predicted the 7 min drill 5 months ago 😅
Until I saw (edited)
Man this album def has Cole's best rapping on it. He evolved like a goddamn pokemon while makin this shit. Got me excited for but also dreading The Fall Off, I do NOT want this man to retire just yet.
Exactly how I classify the Big 3 to a T.
Drake = Best Hitmaker
Kendrick = Best Albums
Cole = Best Rapper
Eh I believe Kendrick the best song writer but Cole got Better Albums
When Rod Sr was talking about you guys holding hands I teared up. I just love y’all relationship
🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
the climb back a contender for my favourite cole songs of all time. not just for the rapping cole an underrated prod as well, the instrumenal on that one especially is heavenly
I agree
You are spot on with the analysis on the big 3 of this generation. Cole is the best rapper to me.
I completely agree with the off season being top 1 j. Cole album.

Great video by the way, love yalls channel! 🖤
Pop hit it on the head. Modern day Pac. That don’t mean he’s just like Pac but he gives you that knowledge in a cool way
Kendrick = Pac, Cole = Nas
OHHH NAHHH POPS GONNA LOVE THIS ONEEEE
I love the fact that you've pretty much single-handedly made your dad a Hip Hop head. Much love ❤
14:57 you guys doing the adlibs is crazy funny 😂😂😂 made the morning

Best album of 2021

Yeah same

I Cole is the most relatable out of the Big 3
Born Sinner if pops ain’t listened to it 🔥 fire reactions guys !!
Cole been my favorite of the big 3 since the very beginning and I’m not switching up💯. ColeWorld
Off Season and Born Sinner are my favorite Cole albums
Legit no skips🔥

i knew pops was gon rock w my life from the jump lmao. love yall chemistry
love this channel, cherish your relationship with your father, not everyone can have such a good bond with their dads, much love from Morocco
Love this album, a personal favorite of mine. Solid all the way through, not a single bad song on it.

He also said he doesn’t care how it’s said since he’s getting his money/recognition either way 😂

I also put this albuma bove 2014 FHD. Shit goes bonkers. Your face and energy for these songs matches me everytime I play this album!
The climb back one of the best j cole song ever
I 1000% think this album is better than 2014FHD, hands down.
I think that album just has a nostalgia and sentimental importance to many, which I can’t relate to. I do think it’s great though. I just think this one has sharper writing, much better production, and much better performances. I think Cole is performing at a much higher level now.
I loved listening to this when it came out without the features listed. 21 coming in on My Life by surprise was outrageous
Yall definitely made me rethink this album 🔥‼️
Found the channel from tik tok forever watchin this content on RUclips. The long form content is 🔥
man watching this reaction just made me to appreciate the album even more ...thanks for reminding me of this classic
Looking at how you and your dad were vibing to the chorus on "My Life", I would love for you guys to do a react on Morray's debut album "Street Sermons". That album is criminally underrated.
I haven't seen every single video of ya'lls but I don't think I have ever seen you geek so hard LMAO
😂😂 this my shit
I see Pops like Bas....he KILLS the vocals at the end of 100 MIL!...💯💯💯
Don't forget to play the 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time double disc by Big K.R.I.T. for him too.
It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!
This is definitely my favorite J. Cole album, by far. Besides his first album, all his albums are really good, but this one is The One.
Glad you reacted to this
Suggestions for future album reviews. 1999- Joey badass, i am > i was - 21 savage, relpase/encore/recovery - Eminem. Under Pressure - Logic.
Relapse is Ems most underrated album. Would definitely recommend that!
I can imagine Jcole being in one of your videos. I’m speaking that into existence 😅🙌🏽
Crazy that I just had a convo with my group chat. The homie said he liked concept album Cole better. But for me I feel this album is strictly to show how great his skill is and I appreciate the hell outta that !

Yessir, can't get enough of Cole world and BTG! Bless up
Yo watching this REALLY put it in perspective. Y'all are smart for going back to back with Friday Night Lights. This is his best work
YOU"RE DAD IS A GOAATTT. Even he doesnt fw Drake. So surprised at how much he knows about rap.
Best Cole album by far, legit got like 3 or 4 of my fav Cole songs ever
Absolutely agreed legendary. And underrated
Ive always wanted Jermaine Cole to rap in a full body of work every since i herd how hard he went on the song "Fire Squad"
Hey guys new subscriber.. Thanks for your videos very relaxing and great seeing you and your pops bonding to rap albums .. keep it up
Welcome!!
Thanks
Back with another great video!

This is his greatest Album. I agree
"Applying Pressure" was on repeat the first time I listened to this album lol
please do more wayne hes undoubtedly one of the best rappers to ever exist
This about to be a banger 🔥⛽️
Been waitin on this one thanks 🔥
Y’all are incredible please keep doing this. I love listening to yall while I work. You do all my favorite artists and I can’t wait for you to do the rest of them. Gotta do xxx and juice wrlds discography’s. They were my favorite artists and have really deep messages in their music
