I didn’t understand the j.Cole hype and would even make fun of the song “foldin clothes” until I heard it in the context of this album. Now I can’t even get through it without getting a little emotional because it’s goofy but also such a specifically beautiful sentiment. Just all around great album
I think the issue is that Cole and Kendrick make albums that are meant to be consumed in its entirety. So alone a song may not seem as significant, but all together it hits the mark
I appreciate you, as far as I can tell, not giving up the twist. Every reaction I’ve seen has the reactor being told the twist before listening, or reading the Genius notes, or whatever. Edit: nvm I hate the commenters
@@DemetruisMiller dont worry. someone else had commented about it months ago. molly showed it to me lol. she really enjoyed the album regardless so it's not a big deal
I remember this was my first rap album that i followed the rollout on and listened the minute it dropped. Being able to listen without context beforehand was like watching a classic movie in real time. I remember tearing up in my bedroom. Personally have no experiences to directly relate to the story told but J Cole still hit me with his story telling ability. Love seeing other people discover this album within these 8 years since!!!!
Villie Mentality, She’s Mine pt1 and 2 are some of my favorite from the album because my dad passed when I was 8 years old and hit closed to home when the girl was talking about her dad. I ended up finding the album at 12 years old and my mom told me that my dad liked and listen to the album alot too. It made the album feel even more special to me
One of Cole’s best. IMO this is Cole’s TPAB if we’re going comparisons I recall listening to this when it came out being amazed. Then revisited recently (since becoming a father) and I was blown away. The whole album hurts in the most meaningful ways. She’s mine pt2 had me absolutely balling my eyes out lol
@@StayBlessed47 I agree! I think they each have their seasons where whatever one drops is gold. But that top spot is interchangeable between just them two
@@Droski_Rodriguez19 whoa whoa whoa. That top spot belongs to Kendrick without a shadow of a doubt. Respectfully. lol but yes I won’t argue cause it’s a valid take .
4YEO is JCole Greatest Song, it’s one of the greatest hip hop song I’ve ever heard. The album is underrated but the song in itself is his greatest work.
The quality of these reviews/reactions is insane. Y'all do such as good job with the editing, atmosphere and give insightful opinions literally all the time and even if you dont like a song you can recognise good things about it. This is why im subbed bruh on god
I remember first listening to this after coming back from college. I had a rough first year and had to come back home I went to college around the same time Cole did. I came from a very low income part of Chicago. Some days I didn’t have anything to eat. Had friends and elementary school people that were dying from gun violence or drugs. I played this album and cried. I almost felt like this album spoke to me in ways I needed to at that time. I made it out of all of that and had a future I just had to retake control. I remember listening to this in my room and ended up in tears at the end. I related to this album heavy and sonically it was a masterpiece. This album solidified Cole as one the greatest of all time and as much as I feel like a lot of people slept on this album. I also feel this album should have won him a Pulitzer.
I love watching these reactions of people who aren’t too familiar with rap to see that there is a lot more than drugs, money, and sex to be rapped about. I’d love to see some old school rap get reacted to. Particularly the giants of the 90’s Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie Smalls). My favorites by Tupac being Me Against The World and Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z… And then Biggie’s Ready To Die and his posthumous album Life After Death. Love the videos, keep em coming!
I might be reaching but I think that line is an easter egg or ties into the line on immortal where he says "The strangest fruit that you'll ever see", which also a NINA Simone reference.
one of my all time favorite albums i always loved that it feels like taking a guided tour around the mind of someone through different ages and stages of life
J coles most underrated album. I remember when it came out and my friends trashed it cuz it didnt have any "bangers" except for Neighbors. Its an album that deserves to be listened in order I didn't get around to listening to it until later that night in bed with headphones. That ending made me tear up as well
I think if I recall correctly, with the songs neighbours he was actually in his old house at Forrest hills, which he had people come visit. The music video is the siege by swat.
Oh let's fucking go. Came here expecting Take Care, I didn't think we'd get this so soon. Just have to mention, best editing in the reaction game. For real, damn near seamless, you get all the perfect moments. Love this album but the story/narrative aspect has always been a point of confusion for me. I've never seen anybody give a perfect explanation for which perspective J. Cole is speaking from in each track. At first I thought it was just sloppy storytelling, then I thought the perspective switched from James MacMillan Jr to J. Cole in the song "Change" which would just be perfect except for the song "She's Mine Pt. 2". J. Cole doesn't have a daughter, apparently. The idea that the first half of the album is from James Macmillan's perspective (loosely mirroring J. Cole's life and mentality) then switching to J. Cole after James dies at the end of "Change," with J. Cole carrying on and escaping the cycle (loosely mirroring the life James could have lived after finding love and a new hope) was just too perfect, I guess. There are no overt references to J. Cole's life/music until "Change", if I remember correctly. But James was apparently alive for the birth of his daughter in the final track. Now, though, I see it as a sort of blend of their perspectives. The uncertainty of which perspective is whose, except for when it's obvious, could mean that it represents both of them. "Change" could still represent a shift in the dominant perspective. One thing is for sure though, this album is J. Cole mirroring and merging himself with the story and life of "James Macmillan Jr." while deeply humanizing and exemplifying the common black man stuck in a cycle of violence and poverty. This album does not get enough love, and does not get the dissection it deserves, in my opinion. I think that's partially due to Cole's reputation of being "fake deep" as well as the comparisons to TPAB. Or it's just sloppy storytelling. Until Cole has a daughter. P.S. FNL next? Love and peace. Edit: Molly pointing out the two opposing voices at the end of Change was A1. Never put that together. Edit 2: Wrote this before I heard the final thoughts. Y'all are frfr insightful.
She’s mine pt 1 will forever be the most beautiful song in hip hop and any genre to me it’s sound his voice the piano thee strings his tone the lyrics it’s a perfect song about love
The editing style is so satisfying, the way the songs sync with each other even when they are out of place. Subbed. Also, I agree, Wife of f11, I would make pancakes to Ville Mentality too.
I was in a weird place in my life when he dropped this album, but aren’t we always in a weird place? But this album really had the feel and message of some of what I was going through. A beautiful piece of work, I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!
@@MonsieurBlac man it's an amazing album. I don't hear alot of people talk about it enough. Sadly I haven't stopped doing drugs but I'm glad it hit you that hard that you stopped 💯🙏🏽
I knew Cole makes a lot of his own beats so they fit the message of the song well,I also just found out J Cole made the beat to Kendrick Lamar’s song hiiipower
Lol they really are I love em tho because she’s really listening to lyrics trying to find the story of the song and she diagnoses the instrumental and shit too it’s sick 😂
Fun fact: J Cole used to play the violin when he was younger He once said in a song “rap like back when I would play the violin, sorry momma I just stopped tryin and”
Facts when it could be one of his best he did every style in that album perfectly Window Pain Outro, The Cut Off, Once an Addict Interlude, BRACKETS, Photograph. The whole album is crazy by those my favorites
The girl is his friend’s daughter. The album is a mix of things like you guys said, the album was supposed to be for his friends daughter and J cole’s daughter
Here’s how I’ve always understood the album track by track: FWTBT: Ominous and somber song to set the tone of the album Immortal: speaking from the blended perspective of both James and Jermaine about the narrowed opportunities for a black man in America and how dealing drugs is the only way to provide. Deja Vu: This is one of the hardest ones to decipher the story elements, but I believe it’s about the difficulty of deciding to chase your dreams or stay with your girl and accept that, which I think is a metaphor for the idea of chasing greatness and something more or being comfortable with adapting to a normal life. Ville Mentality: Pretty straightforward with the meaning here, being that it’s about escaping the small town/poverty and getting out of generational cycles of poverty. She’s Mine Pt 1: Intertwining the lives of James and Jermaine again with a song about falling in love and how it changes your life (next song being changes) and makes you accept everything that comes along with staying to fall in love. Changes: The turning point in the track list where James separates from Jermaine after he stays in the cycle with his lover and Jermaine leaves to end the cycle, later finding out about the death of James and the rest of the album imo Jermaine reflecting on what James left behind. Neighbors: No story elements just a single that was added onto the album to recognize the racism to every black man no matter their class, fame, etc, sort of like Jay-Z’s Story of O.J. Foldin clothes: Talks about appreciating the small things in life and how any gesture to help can mean something, and also about the facade that black men have to put on to survive the streets and gain respect. SMP2: Reflecting on James’ perceived greatest accomplishment in becoming a dad and the burden that he feels is put on him to be a present father because of stereotypes that make him question whether he can do it. 4YEO: The tumultuous ending that summarizes James life that shares many similarities to Jermaine's and gives the overall album concept of how James was another victim of the cycle and Jermaine had the same circumstances and happened to get out, leaving him with the survivor's guilt that made him write this album in honor of all the brothers that weren't as lucky, like Kendrick on Tpab, but less about the struggle of maintaining money for black men when they get to the top, and more about the cycle at the bottom of capitalism
@@Clashedroyaled the song is about J. Cole’s multimillion dollar house getting swatted because the neighbors assumed he would only be there if he was running drugs
I don't know where else to ask this, can I use a brief portion of this video in an upcoming video essay about 4YEO? No audio will be included, and will be linked in the description.
one of very few albums that i can sit and actually listen all the way through with no skips and do it on multiple occasions, only artists for me to do it are denzel, kendrick and lupe fiasco
i still think this is j cole's best album
This album is the 2nd best album of j cole Forest Hills drive is his best album for me
I think friday night lights and the warm up are his two master pieces
Forest hill drive comes first then this it was a perfect album
@@OnlyHoops15 I really hope they consider those as albums, not mixtape, Friday night lights the best for me
i agree!! it’s also my fav too!!
Ah yess J coles most underappreciated album.
I feel like born sinner is easily his most under appreciated
@@ItsDkTheDoncrazy, BS is my favorite and 4YEO is my second
WE'RE CRYING WITH THIS ONE🗣🔥🔥🔥
🗣️🗣️🗣️
🗣️
🗣🗣🗣🗣
🗣🗣
Change is one of his best songs IMO
Fs
this gotta be more than an opinion more like a fact
The only real change comes from the inside!
And immortal is his most underrated song
@@Clashedroyaled immortal is my favorite song off 4YEO, change comes second and then Neighbors third
They'll never give Cole his flowers until he's gone! This album was a beautiful masterpiece. 👑💯💐
“For whom the Bells Toll”is so underrated! very few words that say a lot!
Yes! it sets the tone for the entire album and also foreshadows the twist ending, all in 2 minutes. My favorite on the album for sure
I didn’t understand the j.Cole hype and would even make fun of the song “foldin clothes” until I heard it in the context of this album. Now I can’t even get through it without getting a little emotional because it’s goofy but also such a specifically beautiful sentiment. Just all around great album
Definitely one of my favourite songs on the album.
bro got caught in that stupid ass fantano shit😂
I think the issue is that Cole and Kendrick make albums that are meant to be consumed in its entirety. So alone a song may not seem as significant, but all together it hits the mark
people really just hate on Cole for no reason 😂
this album cemented cole as one of the greatest ever for me
Change and 4 your eyes are the only Two rap songs that ever made me break down crying
Be Free by J Cole and "u" by Kendrick Lamer brings me to tears on EVERY listen as well
i used to think it was weird wen ppl cried till i listened to 4 your eyez only & once an addict (interlude)
Nothing lasts forever by Cole is also very emotional
I appreciate you, as far as I can tell, not giving up the twist. Every reaction I’ve seen has the reactor being told the twist before listening, or reading the Genius notes, or whatever.
Edit: nvm I hate the commenters
@@ercxoWe gotta abolish the comment system
@erickrcxo6363 yhhhhhh, that was kinda me😂. But I was just saying that a few of the songs were from the perspective of his friend that passed.

Why compare it to TPAB
Kendrick fans think that album is the second coming and will forever think it's the standard.
@@yuko1227 because of the ability both display in their storytelling. Not many current guys are able to do it how they do
As time goes on I really think this is J.Cole's masterpiece
i see Cole’s best work, i click indeed
The title track is one of my favourite songs of all time! ❤️
Someone who truly understands! Thank you for this comment I’ve been swearing by that since the album came out! So underrated!
Keep listening to Jcole he got more beautiful albums (born sinner,off season...)
Born sinner is actually one of my favorite albums
They already did the born sinner I think
KOD*
Been manifesting another J.Cole album reaction, and here it is!
4YEO is JCole Greatest Song, it’s one of the greatest hip hop song I’ve ever heard. The album is underrated but the song in itself is his greatest work.
4 your eyez only might be his best song ever and possibly album. Song always makes me tear up

PSYCHODRAMA is an absolute must.
Play J.cooole, make your wifey cry
HALLELUJAH THANK YOU GUYS SOO MUCH. NOW LET ME WATCH THUS VIDEO😅
Literally requested this yesterday! You guys are the best.
Criminally underrated album. Slowly crept up to becoming my favourite project of his (although I tend to listen to 2014 and Off Season more)
I’m from NC so Cole has always been huge for me! I’m glad y’all reacted to this album it’s so good! And it’s pronounced fay•ette•ville :)
The ville ❤️✌🏽🙏🏽
His Opus.
A truly major work. My favorite album of all time.
once again this is the reason i love this channel
So excited for this one, one of my fav albums of all time it’s got everything, got bangers, feel good songs and deep tracks it’s amazing

Incredible album. Production and rapping and content and structure, etc etc etc etc the list goes on.
13:00 this song is probably my favorite out of this album
every time i hear one song off this album i gotta re-listen the whole project. Best 2016 album.
"does they know who he is?" I love her reaction to Neighbors lol
She’s mine pt 1 will forever be the most beautiful song in hip hop and any genre to me it’s sound his voice the piano thee strings his tone the lyrics it’s a perfect song about love
This is my favorite album been waiting for you guys to react to this album, since your second video. Great video.
thanks for sticking with us!
It's it's it's mm J COLE'S BEST ALBUM 🙌
we'll never say it enough; thanks a lot for all the amazing work that you put on your videos

“It sounded like something you make pancakes to” 😂😂

can we now get that J cole KOD album review? Imo his most underrated project ever.
KOD gets so much hate

I love how at 31:14 Molly switches to Scottish
i got Trainspotting flashbacks
Thank you a greatly for the reaction to an amazing album
The girl is his friend’s daughter. The album is a mix of things like you guys said, the album was supposed to be for his friends daughter and J cole’s daughter
Here’s how I’ve always understood the album track by track:
FWTBT: Ominous and somber song to set the tone of the album
Immortal: speaking from the blended perspective of both James and Jermaine about the narrowed opportunities for a black man in America and how dealing drugs is the only way to provide.
Deja Vu: This is one of the hardest ones to decipher the story elements, but I believe it’s about the difficulty of deciding to chase your dreams or stay with your girl and accept that, which I think is a metaphor for the idea of chasing greatness and something more or being comfortable with adapting to a normal life.
Ville Mentality: Pretty straightforward with the meaning here, being that it’s about escaping the small town/poverty and getting out of generational cycles of poverty.
She’s Mine Pt 1: Intertwining the lives of James and Jermaine again with a song about falling in love and how it changes your life (next song being changes) and makes you accept everything that comes along with staying to fall in love.
Changes: The turning point in the track list where James separates from Jermaine after he stays in the cycle with his lover and Jermaine leaves to end the cycle, later finding out about the death of James and the rest of the album imo Jermaine reflecting on what James left behind.
Neighbors: No story elements just a single that was added onto the album to recognize the racism to every black man no matter their class, fame, etc, sort of like Jay-Z’s Story of O.J.
Foldin clothes: Talks about appreciating the small things in life and how any gesture to help can mean something, and also about the facade that black men have to put on to survive the streets and gain respect.
SMP2: Reflecting on James’ perceived greatest accomplishment in becoming a dad and the burden that he feels is put on him to be a present father because of stereotypes that make him question whether he can do it.
4YEO: The tumultuous ending that summarizes James life that shares many similarities to Jermaine's and gives the overall album concept of how James was another victim of the cycle and Jermaine had the same circumstances and happened to get out, leaving him with the survivor's guilt that made him write this album in honor of all the brothers that weren't as lucky, like Kendrick on Tpab, but less about the struggle of maintaining money for black men when they get to the top, and more about the cycle at the bottom of capitalism
