now it would be start cole, bench kendrick, taken out in a wheelchair drake but all time i’d go start kendrick bench drake taken out in a wheelchair cole 😅
Me too .. Im not comparing drake and Cole but this album is probably Jcoles best album, just like Nothing was the Same was Drake's best album I just get similar vibes from both albums and both have timeless tracks
When Cole says "Check the birthdate, you ain't the god," he's also referring to the legendary rapper Rakim who's called the "God MC" and was also born on January 28th! 😃
Jan 28th is also the birthday of Rakim who is renowned as one of the best lyricists ever. He was a pioneer of rap who emerged in the late 80s and is known for being the first rap artist to sign for a million dollar contract (can I make a million off a rap tune)
People always miss the fact how 'Wet Dreamz' highlights the pressure, anxiety and insecurities young men face before their first ever intimate experience. It's not just a cheesy song with a nice beat.
literally i loved the song so much cause it reveals how much our societies makes what should be a genuine and chill experience for boys into smth that requires lying anxiety and faking
i get emotional every time i listen to forest hills drive. i was going through a lot with this album at the time and every song is a different memory for me. i love cole, i love forest hills drive. it was a journey again. i enjoyed it a lot. thanks for the video 🙏🏻
no role models aged so well... was living in Chicago when he made that song... i moved to LA in 2018 and quickly found out everything he was talking about in LA about how women move was true... that and chris brown "loyal" so true
2014 FHD is one of my favorite hip hop album of all time and I can't tell how many times I've listened to the Live version of it, it's such A GREAT VIBE. It magnified the album even more I recommend everybody to listen to the live version
Love Yourz has always been my fav, but I still bump Apparently and Jan 18th. Dope Jams, dope video as well. J Cole with the bars, profound story telling,... Love the album! Cheers, Thanks for the upload!
What's so impressive about No Role Modelz is that it’s the only Diamond song without a music video I think. You guys mentioned it being a single it wasn’t I think J Coles even said In an interview that he never thought that song would blow up the way it did. It’s truly a song that got 2 billion listens just because people enjoyed it.
I've seen Travis Scott, Kanye, Kendrick, Mac, Future and many others in concert, but my favorite rap show was J. Cole on his tour for this album. Dude came out on the stage and just sat on a barstool for the first few songs. He proceeded to perform the album front to back. Just such a great and intimate show.
Same! Every time I’ve seen him he’s rapped every single word bar for bar. Kendrick the same. Drake doesn’t rap or sing shit, dude too busy jumping around and holding the mic for the crowd to sing.
fun fact! in january 28th when he says “check the birthdate, you ain’t the god” he’s referring to the fact that he has the same birthday as rakim, a rapper in the early 2000s who was nicknamed ‘The God MC’. i’ve always loved that bar.
As a non-born english speaker your vidéos are helping me to understand album you react to ! I often vibin to album but i don't really understand the lyrics...thank you !
Great album. Great reaction. This albums theme is that of Cole's life. Starts with him being born on Jan 28th and follows his life thru growing up in Fayetteville, NC and then moving to NYC to pursue his rap career and dreams. And then ultimately making it to the top to realize everything he always needed, he already had. Love Yourz.
so refreshing watching these videos, of someone listening to an album for the first time. brings me back to when i first heard them, capturing that fresh feeling of classics.
This album saved my life, it is one I appreciate and listen to every December , it shined light in my darkest time in high school, thank you for the reaction 🤍
@@guitubagrips9719 Me and your girl have 3 kids and a very nice life. We have Yolanda’s Quinceñera tomorrow after Church and the Davis’ Memorial Day BBQ on Monday. I usually golf on Sundays but my friend is in Cancun for a bachelor party so my golf group postponed. Think we’ll just get home after the party, make some popcorn, and talk about how you’re a broke cuck with a cocktail weenie in your MeUndies.
it's always super fun to react someone reacting to this album for the first time. takes me back to how amazed i was when i listened a long time ago. please react to the infamous by mobb deep (since you mentioned that other amazing album). loved the video! can't wait for the next uploads :)
Since you guys enjoyed this album, i would recommend his next album "4 your eyez only" . Its a lot more introspective and deep, with great lyrics and production .
4 Your Eyez Only Reaction is needed. In my opinion, his greatest album, especially the whole storyline behind it! Would genuinely be great to see you guys react to it
A tale of 2 citiez: the story is that since his friend got robbed in the first verse, he’s decided that this is his only option to achieve the nice life that he’s dreaming of in the first verse (white picket fence with some trees). It’s kind of like describing how people come to the “kill or be killed” mentality in underrepresented neighbourhoods in America. If that’s all you’re accustomed to, then it’s easy to fall into that kind of lifestyle.
As I was watching I saw that you noticed the two perspectives in A tale in 2 cities. He raps from the His perspective in Wet dreamz, but at the end it's from the girls perspective also when he sings the bridge/ chorus.
Would love if you guys shouted out the producers of the songs you react to. I realize this is a huge personal nitpick lmao so I'm sorry in advance but since the production is such a huge part of the listening experience and yall put a lot of appreciation into the production, it would be cool for the people behind it to be recognized
i feel like i acknowledge producers a lot in other videos but youre right, not so much in this one. its hard to keep stuff in mind at the moment but will try better. thank you bro 🙏🏼
Man first concert ive ever been to was forest hills drive tour in tampa. Big sean also opened for him. One of the best nights of my life. Classic album. Honestly think 4 your eyez only is his other masterpiece!
The rest of his discography is a must also if you want singles to react too his freestyles on radio stations while not being full songs are so incredible
i know it’s such a basic opinion but Love Yourz is one of the most beautiful and powerful songs i’ve heard. i wonder how many lives that song has saved.
People reacting to J.Cole now; "J. Cole says things that are so profound." People reacting when it dropped; "Cole ain't deep enough." People now; "The production is so amazing!" People when it dropped; "Cole's production could be be so much better 🥱"
LMFAO “there’ll always be a bitch that’s better out there on the tours” “NOpe. Not true! Can’t relate” 😂😂 you guys are silly as shit, please do more reactions
Great great reaction glad you guys enjoyed it, Please do “4 your eyez only” full album it is so good, I don’t wanna spoil it but please try to follow it, It’s a concept album also very heavy to listen too but I’m tell you it is like a movie. When I was younger I didn’t really grasp the content but now it is soo good.
I live in Fayetteville. He doesn’t own the 2014 Forrest hills Dr house anymore. The government condemned the property due to the tourist activity and trespassing. It has a gate and cameras surrounding it now… IMPACT
let's play start, bench, taken out in a wheelchair between cole, kendrick and drake. who you got?
Start - Cole
Bench - K. Dot
And Drake can go in the wheelchair😃😃
Start Cole, bench K dot, Drake can go f*ck himself...you gotta introduce her to the world of Lupe Fiasco next my broski.
Cole
Kendrick
Drake
I like all 3 tho still lol
now it would be start cole, bench kendrick, taken out in a wheelchair drake but all time i’d go start kendrick bench drake taken out in a wheelchair cole 😅
Start - Kendrick
Bench - Drake
Cole on the wheelchair
i get so much nostalgia with this album
Hello dat 🐐
truth, just has a nostalgic sound especially now
Me too .. Im not comparing drake and Cole but this album is probably Jcoles best album, just like Nothing was the Same was Drake's best album I just get similar vibes from both albums and both have timeless tracks
JCOLE?
JERMAINE?
COLE?
2014 Forest Hills Drive is a great album, arguably his best depending on the person 👀
😂😂
facts my guy... 2014 FHD, off season are incredible bodies of work ever
There is a documentary to this album, he had on HBO. Worth watching and will make you appreciate the album even more.
Everyday of freshman year 💯
4 your eyez only will never be top
Fun Fact : Forest Hills drive was recorded using a sock and earphones . NO professional equipment was used in the making of this whole album
im expecting you to drop fun facts in every video moving forward
Dang! That's inspiring as heck
REAL BRO
rumours say cole kept that sock from wet dreamz days
@@vazsa7387😂😂😂
When Cole says "Check the birthdate, you ain't the god," he's also referring to the legendary rapper Rakim who's called the "God MC" and was also born on January 28th! 😃

Also referred to as the god mc adding to your point!
Thank you for writing this one down, saved me the hassle.
People always miss the fact how 'Wet Dreamz' highlights the pressure, anxiety and insecurities young men face before their first ever intimate experience. It's not just a cheesy song with a nice beat.
Tell that to Fantano 😂💀

@@emanuelekunkler7789 eh, it ain't that serious.
@@youcallmejr4683 did you speak to j cole?
Y'all are such a pleasant couple. A breath of fresh air on youtube. Both of you are very insightful and calming, too.
Completely agree with this.
i get emotional every time i listen to forest hills drive. i was going through a lot with this album at the time and every song is a different memory for me. i love cole, i love forest hills drive. it was a journey again. i enjoyed it a lot. thanks for the video 🙏🏻
This is my favourite album of all time, every song is a classic.

no role models aged so well... was living in Chicago when he made that song... i moved to LA in 2018 and quickly found out everything he was talking about in LA about how women move was true... that and chris brown "loyal" so true
Keep saying wow we love it! It’s your signature never change that!
This album helped me through a lot, it was my little brother favorite album as well. Glad y’all enjoyed this album.
2014 FHD is one of my favorite hip hop album of all time and I can't tell how many times I've listened to the Live version of it, it's such A GREAT VIBE. It magnified the album even more I recommend everybody to listen to the live version
2024 and this album still sounds more fresh than anything thats come out since... J.cole 🔥
She is gonna love "4 Your Eyez Only"
Damn If I were a J. Cole fan I'd be screaming in excitement rn 🙃...
(has J. Cole as his phone wallpaper rn 😳)
Great video. Loved watching this on a Sunday morning. Seeing people experiencing Cole for the first time is a great reaction series.
"You know how you sound right now, if you weren't my mans i would think that you're a clown right now" that line and what comes after is pure mastery.
"J.Cole f*cks with me", thank you J.Cole 😂
Love Yourz has always been my fav, but I still bump Apparently and Jan 18th. Dope Jams, dope video as well. J Cole with the bars, profound story telling,... Love the album! Cheers, Thanks for the upload!
One of my favorite albums, thanks for reviewing and reacting 🙌🏾

Frfrfrfr the motm triology as whole 😭😭
YESSSS

Yesssssss
I’m not the biggest J Cole fan in the world but this is a modern classic in my eyes
His flow and the mood he sets up in his album is unmatched
Definitely his best
My first ever concert was J Cole's Forest Hills Drive Tour, this album is an absolute classic. Really enjoyed your reactions!
Same! Every time I’ve seen him he’s rapped every single word bar for bar. Kendrick the same. Drake doesn’t rap or sing shit, dude too busy jumping around and holding the mic for the crowd to sing.
I am a J Cole fan and yall are pointing out stuff i havent noticed...great channel to you both
confession: i tend to listen to your videos while cooking dinner. the perfect accoutrement :)
fun fact! in january 28th when he says “check the birthdate, you ain’t the god” he’s referring to the fact that he has the same birthday as rakim, a rapper in the early 2000s who was nicknamed ‘The God MC’. i’ve always loved that bar.
33:38 Seamless transition here. Excellent editing 👍
modern day CLASSIC. one of the best albums of the 2010s, one of the best rap albums of all time. perfection in my eyes😮💨🐐
Love you guys. Glad Molly enjoyed Cole on this project and the album as a whole. Please do 4 Your Eyez Only and The Off Season! 🙏
4 your eyez only is a must
As a non-born english speaker your vidéos are helping me to understand album you react to ! I often vibin to album but i don't really understand the lyrics...thank you !
L'accent révélateur

@@Josh-dy4lq Yeah, that's what I think too !
j’ai vu le “é” j’ai dit à archie “il est francophone c’est sûr” et voilà haha very cool d’avoir des viewers francophones 🙏🏼

I usually golf on Sundays but my friend is in Cancun for a bachelor party so my golf group postponed.
Think we’ll just get home after the party, make some popcorn, and talk about how you’re a broke cuck with a cocktail weenie in your MeUndies.
Calling Ye Mid is so fucking ridiculous
Man this album took me back, easily my favorite Cole album.
it's always super fun to react someone reacting to this album for the first time. takes me back to how amazed i was when i listened a long time ago. please react to the infamous by mobb deep (since you mentioned that other amazing album). loved the video! can't wait for the next uploads :)
dont watch alot of reaction videosusually, but you two have a very genuine and cool vibe. Was very fun! Please keep it up, much love from germany
Great reaction, some brighter lighting would be nice but I love audio quality! Thank you for making this 🔥
Platinum with no features and barely any advertisements in the era of CD's!
I love seeing your reactions. Y’all are so well spoken. Keep it up. Also she is GORGEOUS. No disrespect lol
Since you guys enjoyed this album, i would recommend his next album "4 your eyez only" . Its a lot more introspective and deep, with great lyrics and production .
my favorite cole album
Man this album saved my life from friends, depression, etc I played in my whole senior year in 2016 ! It definitely wholes a special place in my heart
4 Your Eyez Only Reaction is needed. In my opinion, his greatest album, especially the whole storyline behind it! Would genuinely be great to see you guys react to it
new favorite channel discovered!
obligatory Reasonable Doubt by JAYZ request
hands down best j.cole album and top 5 albums oat imo🔥
lets go! i've been waiting for this one
Just stumbled on the channel and you gained a new sub, great video and great production! Keep up the great work!
This is the album that got me into rap back in 2014
I loved this reaction, new subscriber!!!
One of the most influential and defining albums of my youth. Still holds up today.
Goosebumps 10 years later , idk where the time went
A tale of 2 citiez: the story is that since his friend got robbed in the first verse, he’s decided that this is his only option to achieve the nice life that he’s dreaming of in the first verse (white picket fence with some trees).

If that’s all you’re accustomed to, then it’s easy to fall into that kind of lifestyle.
Definitely gotta do Friday night lights and the warm up by Cole
Loved how your wife kept laughing cutely at the Wet Dreams lyrics, she's so gorgeous
Amazing reaction, love y’all
tried to catch you slippin @50:15 lmaoooooo
😭
As I was watching I saw that you noticed the two perspectives in A tale in 2 cities. He raps from the His perspective in Wet dreamz, but at the end it's from the girls perspective also when he sings the bridge/ chorus.
We need more J Cole

The woman’s Wet Dreamz reaction was so real. The story of the song is so funny which is another reason why I love the song
I have to say Forrest Hill Drive is my favourite of his Albums.
We need a 4 your eyez only reaction for J Cole next pls!
Y’all should react to Vince Staples- Summertime 06’
or his self titled album "Vince Staples" my personal favorite of his!
love you guys!
Awesomeness, this is great! 😊🙏🏾💯❤️
The rest of his discography is a must also if you want singles to react too his freestyles on radio stations while not being full songs are so incredible
The writing on this album is as top tier as it gets
Yall should do 4 your eyez only as well, great album
One of the greatest artists oat 🛐🔥
THE REAL IS BACK,THE VILLE IS BACK
the only thing that's been missing in Cole's music lately is THIS type of production, soulful production.
You guys should check out “For You Eyes Only” - it’s a concept album he wrote about his friend. It’s very incredible.
i know it’s such a basic opinion but Love Yourz is one of the most beautiful and powerful songs i’ve heard. i wonder how many lives that song has saved.
CLASSIC ALBUMMM!!
the perfect girl sample in the song a tale of 2 citiez. I love
People reacting to J.Cole now; "J. Cole says things that are so profound."
People reacting when it dropped; "Cole ain't deep enough."
People now; "The production is so amazing!"
People when it dropped; "Cole's production could be be so much better 🥱"
please do 4 your eyez only next !!
need a college dropout reaction its my favorite ye album and it has such a great story and so many bangers and funny bars
Such an important people to so many my age, nothing but good high school memories with it
Easily on of my favorite rap album to listen to very relatable. The body of work was amazing from start to finish.
January 28 is also the birthday of Rhakim, lengendary rapper also known as the God MC. So yes, J. Cole is implying that he was born for this.
My favourite Cole album hands down
This is a top 5 album ever for me, it means so much to me and the lyricism is brilliant, love the listen!
2014 changed my perspectives on life along with 4 your eyez only
LMFAO “there’ll always be a bitch that’s better out there on the tours” “NOpe. Not true! Can’t relate” 😂😂 you guys are silly as shit, please do more reactions
What a gorgeous lady😢
Wow great reaction. Nobody doing it like yall, don’t stop.
