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.
I don't think it's his best work I'd say either 2014 forest hills drive kod the off-season the warmup or Friday night lights those are his top projects in my opinion I like this one but I don't play this one like I play the other ones I have to be in a mood to listen to this
Dude coulda let his dad figure it out himself lol the best most impactful feeling about this album is the realization at the end that the whole thing was from his homies perspective
As someone who loves recommending albums...that final landing on 4 your eyez only is better received when its "spoiled". Those who have gone into this blind have had mostly negative reactions..and then have it grow on them... atleast from my personal experience. i would'nt have given so much details tho.
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.
Same with me, This came out my freshman year of high school so I never understood it completely and though it was a good album but now I think it's Cole's most underappreciated album. Like I don't hear ANYONE mention any songs from 4Yeo even though as an album it's a great cohesive project
You guys are my favorite review channel on youtube. Never fake and always hitting the best albums, makes me feel like I'm listening to these classics for the first time all over again. Could you react to Awaken My Love by Childish Gambino? Funk and soul vibes on that record I know would be an instant hit.
The album is so well put together. On Immortal from the first one seven four five if you "forward the plot" 17:45 a real nigga James dies in Change. My favorite J. Cole album ever.
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. 👍
Your pops appreciation for Ville mentality touched me his commentary helped me appreciate my already favorite song on the album his little jazz club poetry scenery exploded in my mind shit was genuinely beautiful 🙏🏽
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.
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.
He said you ain’t never been to the laundry mat have you😂😂😂😂y’all be makin my day man you’ve done a phenomenal job wit the way you’ve been introducing ur dad to hip hop, stay consistent all the love 🖤
My dude I just discovered your channel and binge watched every damn video 😂🥵 I’m a huge J. Cole stan and I’d love to see y’all do his mixtapes, particularly Friday Night Lights and the Truly Yours series; most of his best tracks are on his mixtapes 🫡
So glad you guys did a reaction to this album. I knew your father would enjoy the album and I’m glad he enjoyed it that much. Almost nobody reviews or reacts to this great album
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.
Love this one this made me appreciate this album way more it really aged well. You guys gotta do the Nas King Disease trilogy I think Pops would dig those albums
4 your eyez only is one of my favorite albums of all time. This album hits so different for me than it does for others. It doesn’t have a single skip imo. Can y’all react to Born Sinner? Would love to see your pops reaction. Much love for the channel, I watch yall videos daily
i love this, I really wanted you to include his reaction to the last line in the closing song 4yeo "your daddy was a real n**** cause he loved you" otherwise, great video!
Great video man, love the reactions from both you and your dad. It’s awesome to see a son and father share time together enjoying a good album and having a good time, keep up the great work really enjoy the videos!
Uh honestly that’s not what I took from this album. He’s sharing his life style and connecting it to his late friends life style. 2 people of like minds, yet followed different paths.
On the song Neighbors, I think the most overlooked line is Cole saying he is selling dope. But in the context he don’t mean drugs, he means he’s selling “dope” music
Changes is my favorite song on this one, what about y'all?? I gotta say y'all are my favorite reaction chanel! You two are a dope! Hope y'all have a great new year! God bless y'all!
Really dig your channel! Been following from the beginning 🔥Wondering if y’all would ever start to dive into solid and critically acclaimed mixtapes as well? J Cole’s “Truly Yours” 1&2 would be dope! Bro you gotta put him on Cole’s “KOD” album too
Yes! I love seeing these reactions and your dads understanding of the songs are great! I'd love to see y'all react to Bryson Tillers Album Trapsoul I'm sure your pops would love that!
I think this his best album because it showed his growth as a man this album he talked about everything love lust death and black mental health and the stereotype that we have to live with within the black community he just touched apon everything while still giving up a insight on what was going on in his life during this period of time my young 16 self really appreciated him for this it helped me and my mother bond over music she loved this album so every time I hear this album I always think of her so rip mom I love you and Cole I appreciate you for this master piece.
Your dad understood and appreciated this album more than a lot do, respect to him

I love the album already but when he talked about the story told throughout the album amplified it for me
Easily cole best album

Ugh I love his appreciation for cole’s music. “Ville mentality” is one of my favorite cole songs. Thank you 🤍

For me this is my favorite Cole album

Greatest song?!?! You’re right lol I legit cried during the last song. The whole album came together in that song and got me good. Lol
I see this álbum like a wake up Call for our New generations
This album is hard aff but also underrated
I don't think it's his best work I'd say either 2014 forest hills drive kod the off-season the warmup or Friday night lights those are his top projects in my opinion I like this one but I don't play this one like I play the other ones I have to be in a mood to listen to this

i would'nt have given so much details tho.
The last song always makes me cry hard af when cole switches to his perspective and is talking to his friends daughter
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.
Yes and no. It is kept ambiguous
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.
@@MagzUpBr33zy yep
@MagzUpBr33zy basically a double metaphor
4 your eyez only was honestly one of the best album/song ive ever heard, really put me in my feelings lmao.

4 Your Eyez Only is my favorite track from Cole.

My favorite track has to be either change or 4 your eyez only... man what an experience it is listening to those two tracks.
It's cool to see two different father son reacting channels, yours and turning the tables
Ngl y'all have similar vibes
When he say he selling dope he talking bout his music.. “dope music”
Love this album, one of my all time favorites. Thanks for giving it some love 🙏

🔥🔥🔥 reaction, gentlemen! 💪🏾

Another channel I watch uploaded 3 videos but didn't drop a single one. Good thing my favorite channel Bridging the Gap uploaded!
Lately I’ve found myself listening to this album multiple times a week, it’s such a good project
Im from Fayetteville, and the Ville mentality is real. Took me years to heal and course correct.
Glad you made it bro 💯
So dope. Revenge of the Dreamers III please! Love you guys man. Hes been feelin all this j Cole shit!
My personal favourite number one aoat, love hearing pops and his depiction of each song
Great video man, love the reactions from both you and your dad. It’s awesome to see a son and father share time together enjoying a good album and having a good time, keep up the great work really enjoy the videos!
One of my favorite Cole albums, always great to see others’ perspective on it! Would like to see you react to the album that follows by Cole “KOD”
Uh honestly that’s not what I took from this album. He’s sharing his life style and connecting it to his late friends life style. 2 people of like minds, yet followed different paths.

2nd for me. Born sinner so underrated 😒
Damn you really explained all your interpretations super well shed new light on mines

Definitely one of Cole's best work
Loved your fathers reaction 👏🏽🔥 Once he got to “Changes” it was lit!
4yeo is my all time favourite song from any artist its perfect

thats crazy you still replying to comments man respect ❤
Y'all definitely need to do JID next man start with The Never Story and the go to The Forever Story!

On the song Neighbors, I think the most overlooked line is Cole saying he is selling dope. But in the context he don’t mean drugs, he means he’s selling “dope” music

😂😂😂
Childish Major was on the revenge of the dreamers 3 project thats a dope project as well
Watched it late, but it feels like tha man he talks with in '03 adolescence is the same mans life he's rappin here
Change is the best from this album lowkey, apparently from 2014 forest hills and power trip from born sinner ong
This is my favorite Cole album

All Amerikkkan bada$$- Joey bada$$, really enjoy yalls videos btw 👍🏾
