Fun fact!: through this album, J.Cole raps through the perspective of his deceased best friend ”James” , describing his journey from drug dealing to having a family. Cole actually dedicated this album to his friend’s daughter, Nina, essentially as a tribute to her father.This is such an amazing storytelling album, one of the best from 2016.. Thanks for all the amazing content, guys, we really appreciate you!!
Absolutely loved it. Is Nina the one that talks over one of the tracks? Thanks. Can’t wait for Off Season now. Actually hearing J Cole is on the verge of dropping a new album. The Fall Off? Know anything about this?
Yes that was Nina, and yes, The Falloff will be J.Cole's final album before retirement, its highly anticipated in the community, its been 5 years in the making.@@TwistTheScript
idk if id say its best album, but id say its his best attempt at a conceptual album, over KOD. I wanna say it's his best but I don't think it goes track for track when compared to FHD, but I love this album
@@bombonsalmon it's amazingly Underated But the Story Of 2014 is similar to this one its just J.coles story from Birth to fame and I wonder If 03 adolescence in Forest hills is about James?
The powerful thing about She’s Mine? Is the feeling of CREATING LIFE Bringing this powerful feeling over James, the friend who died, who had felt the feeling of destroying life or seeing it while being in the streets And that ‘he never felt so ALIVE’
“Fold clothes for you” is literal, but definitely also a metaphor for just wanting to do right be her. Him finding the right one and wanting to do things for her.
@@TwistTheScript hey I was the one to get you to listen to to j Cole forest hills drive I’m telling you when are you getting to BIG Krit -4eva is a mighty long time he will give you the same feeling you will love it 🙌 hope he is next
It’s also from the perspective of his friend, who was in the street lifestyle He tried transitioning from that back into a normal life Real shit, I have a lot of friends from that lifestyle. And when they tried changing for the better, this song? Touched on damn near everything😂
Some insight on the track Neighbors, J Cole talks about a real story about his neighbors thinking he's selling drugs. After getting famous and money, he moved into a nicer neighborhood, majority white. After moving in, his neighbors became skeptical about him, probably because he is black, has dreads, and quiet, so they believed he was selling drugs out of the house. Somehow they got enough "evidence" for the police to get a warrant to break into his house and search it for drugs, just to find absolutely nothing. J Cole realized he made a mistake moving into a community like that and moved out, but he had security cameras that recorded the entire SWAT operation and decided to use it as the footage for his music video of the song.
OMG. So it really was the Neighbours that had the problem. They were judgmental racists. I knew there was meaning behind it. Ohh I’ve not seen the video I will have a look now. Thanks for the insight 👍
Such a great album, the title track is one of the best hip hop songs of all time in my opinion, the storytelling is incredible. Loving the reactions lads 💪
In the beginning James had his doubts about the world he lives in with being hard etc cause he had nothing really to strive for and since he fell in love with a woman he found something. he started to see life more clearly and wanted to let his past behind but there were people that wanted to see him dead in this hood(theres even a line with "peeking through the blinds(which means looking out for danger in his new home and even being accustomed to look out for things like that), i see the sun now"(dont seeing something, believing in his new life)) and after his daughter was born he wants his daughter not to have a life like his with a dead father and repeating the cycle. so he tells his story to j. cole.
If you do like the music then please pause it then talk about it not talk over it, so you don’t miss the fact that the last track wasn’t in cole’s perspective but the guy who got shot
Apologies, didn’t see ur reply asking what I wanted to see you react to, but it’s lovely to see all these great suggestions in the comments. Can’t wait for this watch and future ones too
I haven't heard all his albums but right now this is my favorite from him, the story and concept is delivered so well and some of the songs are so pretty and so well written.
The Neighbors song is a true story and there's a music video to go with it and people in the comments explaining everything that happened that day. It's really interesting.
If you really want more of the lyrical and wordplay cole , then you should definitely check out his "Friday night lights" mix-tape or his feature run on other artists songs for the past 3 years. Every time he features on other peoples song's , he kills it.
@@TwistTheScript the whole album is not J Cole rapping. It’s James speaking through J Cole so dujavu is James meet his girl at the club she’s mine part 1 is James in love is not about j cole she’s mine is James have a daughter James loves to fold clothes for his wife J Cole is only the last verse on the album and neighbors
I’m pretty sure the selling dope is a double entendre. Meaning the neighbors think he’s selling dope and he’s saying he is because his music is dope (good)
Such a great album! The backstories of some of these songs and the album as a whole are sooooooo interesting and there is a lot of thought from Cole on this album. I think it might be his best written album! Great Vid!
Great album and reaction takes me back to the first day I heard it when it dropped. I get other reactions in the future, but please continue the J cole discoagraphy you wont regret it.
Since your dad seems to likes and focuses on production so much, he would love the album UTOPIA By Travis Scott (who is a popular rapper whose popularity seen skyrocketed in the past 5 years as many would regard him as somewhat of a Kanye prodigy) and Heroes and Villains By Metro Boomin (who’s a producer).
You should do the album KOD next as it was sort of his response to people wanting him to do more modernish sounding rap and then do the unbelievable album The Off Season
Great reaction, glad you loved this album. At the time this was released from what I remembered it wasn’t very liked, people painted it as boring, even at my age at that time I couldn’t quite grasp how great the album was. Years later and it aged like fine wine to me such such great story telling. This album is mostly in the perspective of his dead friend who at first was ready to let his life go and just live that fast life, met and got his girl pregnant and started to see life differently, had a daughter and is now seeing what life has to offer, ultimately his past catches up with him leaving his daughter, crazy twist. Not 100% sure but when the beat changes that’s j Cole rapping and not his friend idk if that make sense 😂
Really. Wow can’t believe it got that reception. I thought it was brilliant. As you can probably tell 🤣 I’ve listened to it a few more times since the reaction. Picking up more about the lyrics and what’s going on. Absolutely love it. Can’t wait to get back on J Cole.
Not a super hard concept to see but "She's Mine Pt1" is about J. Coles 'first' love, his wife. Then "She's Mine Pt2" is about Cole's 'second' love, his newborn daughter.
the whole album is not J Cole rapping. It’s James speaking through J Cole so dujavu is James meet his girl at the club she’s mine part 1 is James in love is not about j cole she’s mine is James have a daughter James loves to fold clothes for his wife J Cole is only the last verse on the album and neighbors
Backstory on Neighbors: Cole actually moved into a house where he would record music and relax with his friends/label mates. It was in a really ritzy neighborhood and the neighbors actually called the cops on him for thinking he was selling weed out of the house (they were just smoking it) and Swat actually raided the place due to the call.
Y’all gotta start reading the lyrics or looking at the genius app or something. I love yall reactions but how’d uou not know the entire album was in James’s perspective 🤦♀️. Even listening to the title track 😅
@@TwistTheScript nah it was just a coincidence that you thought the message came from someone who hasn’t passed away but that ends up not being the case. I enjoy your vids keep up the work hopefully you guys do some more Mac Miller soon ✌🏻 👍🏻
Please react to Rapsody- Laila’s Wisdom she is a female Kendrick Lamar in my opinion And Nipsey Hussle -Victory Lap album he’s the streets J Cole 2 great albums you would love
Thinking about reacting to just tracks aswell as albums. We spoke about it tonight. 👍 Has he got a new track? OMG I wanna listen to it now but I will save it for a reaction 😜
I strongly recommend listening to a Tyler the creator album, probably one of the most versatile and creative hiphop artists. my 2 favourite albums of his are flower boy and wolf, which are both good Tyler albums to start on, well as albums like goblin or bastard aren't great for people's first time listening to Tyler as they are pretty offensive and have dark themes. love the reactions 👍
@@TwistTheScript Please tell me Big Krit 4eva is a mighty long time album is coming sooon or Nipsey Hussle Victory Lap album its imperative you hear these albums your dad will love

JID: The Forever Story
Jid is signed to JCole and released the forever story in 2022 and people already consider it a classic
Defo look into JID in near future 👍 thanks for your suggestion 👍❤️
If you do like the music then please pause it then talk about it not talk over it, so you don’t miss the fact that the last track wasn’t in cole’s perspective but the guy who got shot

I haven't heard all his albums but right now this is my favorite from him, the story and concept is delivered so well and some of the songs are so pretty and so well written.
We have only heard 2 albums and so far we can’t split them.
Definitely my favorite Cole album glad you guys enjoyed it so much loving watching the channel grow as well keep it up guys🤙
I can’t split these two albums so far. Sounds like I’m sat on the fence.
Out of J Cole's camp, check out JID "The Forever Story" incredible lyricist and super soulful
YEEEES YOU REACTED TO MY FAV COLE ALBUM🙏🙏
I can’t split this and FHD at the minute, on an even.
The Neighbors song is a true story and there's a music video to go with it and people in the comments explaining everything that happened that day. It's really interesting.
Just about to put the video on now 👌
@@TwistTheScript J. Cole also explains it in some of his concerts before performing the song

Wow … 🤩 will be checking this out ❤️❤️
YESSIIIIR
The last track isnt about J Cole himself. Its about a friend of Cole who sadly passed away. Its a note to the daughter of that friend.
Thanks for your insight 👍❤️

for me this is the best cole project, u guys need bring more cole
Mate we are running out of Cole.
@@TwistTheScript he has 3 classic mixtapes as well
I’m pretty sure the selling dope is a double entendre. Meaning the neighbors think he’s selling dope and he’s saying he is because his music is dope (good)
Yeah didn’t think of it that way. I bet it could be 👍
Thank you guys so much for doing this one. Keep it up loving the videos
No need to thank us…Absolutely loved it as you can tell. 👌
Big K.R.I.T 4eva is a mighty long time 🔥🔥 album
Such a great album! The backstories of some of these songs and the album as a whole are sooooooo interesting and there is a lot of thought from Cole on this album. I think it might be his best written album! Great Vid!
We are massive J Cole fans now. It’s evidently easy to see. I’m about to play this album again on my Pods.
@@TwistTheScriptgotta love discovering new artists and loving their music!
JID FOREVER STORY‼️
Soon 👍
Amazing stuff guys. You guys are picking some class albums!
Thanks 😀 trying our best to keep it interesting as possible 👍❤️
Great album and reaction takes me back to the first day I heard it when it dropped. I get other reactions in the future, but please continue the J cole discoagraphy you wont regret it.
Scary the thought of running out of J Cole Albums.
@@TwistTheScript basically 2 before Forest Hills Drive and 2 after this one.
please read the lyrics and wonder about the lyrics too😭😭
Since your dad seems to likes and focuses on production so much, he would love the album UTOPIA By Travis Scott (who is a popular rapper whose popularity seen skyrocketed in the past 5 years as many would regard him as somewhat of a Kanye prodigy) and Heroes and Villains By Metro Boomin (who’s a producer).
Defo looking forward to TS albums … lot of requests for him … defo be on this in near future 👍❤️
Would love to see you chaps react to ‘We’re all alone in this together’ by Dave. Amazing artist from home grown soil! Love from London
Cheers Ben 👍 will defo look into this suggestion 👍😉
You should do the album KOD next as it was sort of his response to people wanting him to do more modernish sounding rap and then do the unbelievable album The Off Season
Hi Dom 👍 both on our list for the near future 👍😉❤️
You gents would love the forever story by J.I.D
Who is this JID had a good few comment about reacting to him… Might play a sneak peak.
I love j Cole so much he is amazing you should def check out some Jid cause him and j cole are on the same label

@@TwistTheScript you look at the album from a different lens now huh 😂
His real early stuff is really good! Like Friday Night Lights
I can’t imagine a world where I dislike anything by J Cole.
Backstory on Neighbors: Cole actually moved into a house where he would record music and relax with his friends/label mates. It was in a really ritzy neighborhood and the neighbors actually called the cops on him for thinking he was selling weed out of the house (they were just smoking it) and Swat actually raided the place due to the call.
Absolutely crazy. For him to smash out lyrics and put a song together about it is even better
Definitely need a Graduation listen
Y’all gotta start reading the lyrics or looking at the genius app or something. I love yall reactions but how’d uou not know the entire album was in James’s perspective 🤦♀️. Even listening to the title track 😅
React to big Krit forever is a mighty long time
You guys should definitely do illmatic by nas or atliens by OutKast
Two different albums but they both have that 90’s sound
Thanks for your suggestion … 👍 will look into these 👍😉
“Finally someone put out a message like that who hasn’t passed away”
The message actually came from someone else that has passed away
Shit, please elaborate. Did I miss something?
@@TwistTheScript nah it was just a coincidence that you thought the message came from someone who hasn’t passed away but that ends up not being the case. I enjoy your vids keep up the work hopefully you guys do some more Mac Miller soon ✌🏻 👍🏻
Totally get what you’re saying now. Thank you Icecreambacon… what a name 😂😂😂
You’ve gotta react to Good Kid Mad City by Kendrick Lamar such a masterpiece! Keep up the dope content 🔥

Please react to Rapsody- Laila’s Wisdom she is a female Kendrick Lamar in my opinion

We need
Kanye - Graduation / Yeezus
Travis - Rodeo
Nas - Illmatic
Please do KOD too🙏
Mate you can tell by our reaction. J Cole is the man….. we will be reacting to everything by him 🤣
Hi great video, would recommend childish gambino because the internet. Or Travis Scott Astroworld. Two unique and interesting albums 👍
Thanks for your suggestions … got both on our list for near future 👍😉
I’d be really interested to see how he feels about KOD AND OFFSEASON
We can’t wait to get on them TBH 😂
gotta do Born Sinner and Off Season and Friday Night Lights
You can tell by our expression we are going to do EVERYTHING J Cole related.
i think it's time for Graduation from Kanye West, a revolutionary album
sza control next!
I know you probably don’t listen to Yeat but his most recent album 2093 is a unique album despite only like 9 somgs
Let me take a sneak peak now.
