KOD is not boring. Nobody likes to actually listen nowadays. They dont listen to tracks over and over and really get to know the lyrics and the messages in the music. That's why you see lyrical rappers not getting big but people who make songs saying the same words over and over get rich from it.
Jared Garrett-SocialAnxiety KOD does not have enough lyrical depth for this opinion to be applicable
I completely and 100% agree KOD is an album that doesn't deserve the bad criticism it gets and Its sad to see Mac Miller's Swimming album in the same situation
Jared Garrett-SocialAnxiety That Facts people rather be Brainwashed instead of listening too reality and that sad.
@Dj Locke swimming is incredible
Love that even when he's just spitting bars, he's still dropping knowledge on em. Cole World 👾
Estryus Flemming Lol! Yes bc one couldn't possibly drop knowledge off the dome right? But never said this was that. Freestyle is a subjective term. Most "freestyles" aren't without preparation. Do ya homework
Estryus Flemming As you just said it became commonly referred to as a freestyle. Meaning in the world of hip-hop today this is referred to as a freestyle. I get your argument. I feel a real freestyle should be from off top, but that doesn't change today's labels. To the original point of your argument I never even said this was a freestyle. I simply said he was dropping bars, meaning fire lines. Even if it were a freestyle off top, it doesn't mean someone can't slip in some gems of knowledge, rather than just flex.
Estryus Flemming Just spitting bars was more of a reference to the fact that it wasn't put together as a typical song. It's all about the lines. The context I said it in was that he is always dropping knowledge, where as other people tend to just flex about themselves or try to be super lyrical, written or not. He's always got a message in there. Nothing unremarkable about that. Google or TH-cam freestyle and tell me what comes up. Lol. Again, I get your stance, but I'm not wrong.
that's what i love about cole
Cole murdered this
NO cap!
👍

🔥🔥ITS COLE'S WORLD 🔥🔥
Its a cole world!
At the time he mentioned biggie he was rapping in biggs cadence ......that's craaaaazy
He diiiiiiiiidddddd 🔥🔥🔥 First time I've noticed that! Good shit!
That’s haaaaaard!!! I didn’t even catch that
OH SHIT I DIDNT NOTICE THAT TIL U MENTIONED IT BAHAHA BRO THAT SHIT MAKES THAT BAR COLDER
Great ear!
Oh shit wow man thanks for that!
Totally agree with KOD album of the year! The sad part is that so many people don’t have the patience to actually listen and pay attention to J.coles lyrics. I wonder if he’ll preform this on the tour!?
Btw my BF showed me this channel like two days ago, I’m obsessed I love yall’s videos!
We appreciate the support! Tell your BF we said SALUTE!
Amber Barcenas i hope he performs this song on tour
😂😂😂😂😂
KOD was amazing but so was Daytona. Depends on whether you’re looking for more battle type lyrics or conceptual
Tarkang Oben same!! Going to see him in San Antonio
The Oochi Wally Nas beat is a top notch beat to freestyle to that I've seen a couple artists do. Cole had that wordplay on this joint the way he said My cadence be/ the greatest we've seen/ since the late MC and the way he flowed through it was skillfully done. Nothing much I can say about Cole since I know his freestyles are always hot. Great Reaction on the Album Of The Year Freestyle Lost In Vegas.
Nate Baker KAAN killed this best as well
This Freestyle continues to makes a long time lover of Hip-Hop Culture PROUD of Cole. I appreciate that he touched an old beat.
Adding to the conversation about KOD’s reception, it is basically a satire which forces the listener to examine the flaws of today’s mainstream hip-hop culture.
This will obviously be appreciated more by those who understand and have similar views, and depreciated by those who enjoy the current state of the culture or stand to make a profit from it.
Jordan Hester I completely agree I’ve noticed it just talking to people they dont like there lifestyle being criticized
WE BEEEEN WAITING ON THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Lost in Vegas been giving us some fire reactions.
I love how cole is a millionaire but still dresses like he’s homeless, the most humble rapper out here
if dat homeless. well shit, i'm homeless too
Damn yall have really grown 500k subscribers keep up the good work ethic brodies
Black Friday-kendrick and cole
Agent’s green towel I agree
thats old but k
@@sincerelyface What does age have to do with quality?
@@Big.Von313 theyve probably seen it then
I enjoyed the freestyle. Thanks for reacting to this. Y'all are the best👌🏻🔥
I don't how many times I've listened to this and I still get chills the way he ends it with that flow and then the beat comes back. Lawd 🔥🔥🔥
see this is the exact reason why i am subscribed to you guys, not gonna sit here and say im the biggest fan cause in all honesty i dont watch every video, but when i do watch the videos of reviews of the music i enjoy! hearing you guys perspective of music as a whole is phenomenal, it actually shifts my mindset of how i wanna view music cause i am part of the group who didnt think KOD was album of the year and its not that i didnt enjoy it, i love cole but i guess i was listening to it with one mindset and thats if, it goes hard, if the beat is banging and cause of that i didnt realize how amazing it was in terms of the vision and all that jazz. so now watching this i wanna start listening to music and start appreciating it with a different ear. so thank you guys! the past year or a few months ive expanded myself with music because of you guys! so again thank you for that as well! keep up the great and real content!! 🙌🏽
p.s. listen to Feel a Way by H.E.R !! some R&B for ya’ll lolol
I agree with that jazz comment. People think it's boring but they just don't get it. Is jazz coming to the channel
Kidaf- Never Ending (ft Shadow the Great)
TheAdamSmasher Multiverse. : Also an age thing. Jazz, to me was always okay, as a child, now as a young man, it is neat, I am still new to listening to it, but exploring it.
I don't think jazz is coming. I've been requesting jazz albums for months now lol. Last request was the new Coltrane an the kamasi Washington albums. Maybe you'll do better than me tho lol.
Loaf Muzik is too underrated
Man, I fucking love this channel. The way you dissect the songs can only means the knowledge these men have about Hip-Hop/Rap.
I thumbs up before I even see the reaction
Gregory Ziminsky word
L.I.V THANK YOU! You guys never disappoint.
Not a big hip hop or rap guy, but I have a ton of friends who are, and of course I have to support you guys!
What you said at the end is true.. that's why this is the only music review channel I like.. keep going guys, we're cheering for you..
Was wondering when THIS would pop up in my notifications. GREAT REACTION as ALWAYS!!! BUT...Mick Jenkins "Bruce Banner" needs YOUR attention. Don't wait on the clout to vote on it. It's WELL worth 5 minutes of your time!! He starts the song making a VERY VERY bold statement. And I agree with Mick🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥#FreeThinkers
We already knocked that one out champ. It will be released on TH-cam at some point. Salute!
Lost In Vegas FANTASTIC!!! I KNOW how busy you guys are and the amount of content requested. So MUCH respect to you guys.
@@LostInVegas fucks with y'all channel hard and y'all should react to 6lack one way and Rexx Life Raj Shit n' floss
i was thinking yall were going to be late AF on this one. Thank you guys. yall do the best hip hop review and reactions on TH-cam.
KOD = Album of the Year
I liked the album on my first listen, but really came to appreciate it after hearing the insight from you guys.
Also, you should totally react to Iron Maiden. Either “Number of the Beast” or “Run to the Hills”.
Young Simba!!! Cole is the truth! KOD is definitely album of the year in my eyes and now he flipped his style back to the way he use too! Cole is that dude! Good review fellas!
I’m young, know where the original beat came from, and prefer/love real authentic rap, but I still was singing “oooo she wild’n wild’n-she do her thang-thang” 😂😂😂
We'll let you slide because Fab was on that joint! Lol
Lost In Vegas 😂😂😂
What's the Nas song called from the beat
Ooreofe Akintola Oochie Wally
Came back to this masterpiece. Love this channel!
Cole back 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for doing this guys glad you accepted request
If it's J Cole... it's fiya🔥💯 Awesome reaction guys👊
I’m a just tell y’all, I liked this video before pressing play because I already know y’alls reaction was gonna be amazing as always
This sound like 2010 J Cole. I loved it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Please do Mick Jenkins ~ Bruce Banner 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Cole is back, man! I knew y'all were gonna be on this one! Y'all did y'all's thing once again!
The best thing about the internet age is that everybody has a voice. Coincidentally, it's also the worst thing.
A thousand years from now none of it will matter anyway. The only thing we can do is share some piece of ourselves and hope that we've mattered to someone.
That's what artists chase. That was a killer freestyle. Now, if you'll excuse me a notification for Kickstart My Heart just came in and I NEED to see it, yesterday. 😂
Amanda Ski “the only thing we can do is share some piece of ourselves and hope that we’ve mattered to someone “
Now if that isn’t knowledge right there
Dreamville on their way UUUP!! Bringing back that sweet ass lyricism... Cheers from Chile guys! You have THE best hip-hop-related reviews/reactions! #FreeThinker
Still waiting for you to react to Potato Salad - Tyler, The Creator ft. A$AP Rocky
Oscar they proly won’t like Tyler’s lines
@Romy Taylor Because they super corny.
Been a subscriber since 2k! Since the Logicthon! Crazy how for y’all have came and stayed true to this purpose! From 2k to half a mil! Keep it up!
Cole da truth!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes!! Was hoping for this! 🔥
Mysonne’s new freestyle and that Locksmith/Apollo brown colab!
Hey y'all. Still loving your content, i always learn something when I listen to your vids, that's invaluable.
On KOD being "boring" - I don't really see why you're surprised by that reception, tho. Being the learned music enthusiasts that you are, don't you feel like this response is just a reflection of what the audience for rap is in our days? To me, being a man of analogies as well, this is just like when you put the most interesting book of all time in the hands of an agitated, distracted 11yo kid: his first instinct will be to look at the book from the side to see how thick it is, and then he hits you with that "nah pops, I ain't tryna read all this, I got the latest Pokemon game on my nintendo whatever, i gotta catch all of dem shits"
Diving into a well-inspired, layered piece of art takes effort and dedication, and people are just raised to be reluctant towards any sort of effort like that. It's just the culture of instant gratification: you gotta make a piece of art appealing with some bangers for them to even _consider_ trying to find out what you sayin. I believe it was the same thing with K Dot's TPAB - and interestingly, I think it goes well with your point about jazz music -, where both the very important story telling and heavy jazz influences were a bit overwhelming for many people. Those who committed to the effort actually know it's probably one of the best albums that was ever made, period (and notice I didn't say 'hip hop album', I said 'albums'). A lot of my friends told me that album was 'boring' too. (Which is a scandalous assertion to me, not gon lie)
Of course KOD is album of the year so far, but you must have really paid attention to know it, which is not the case with a lot of people nowadays... And you know it lol
(My bad if this is hard to understand, English ain't my first language, I'm French!)
Eaque Johnson beautifully put mon ami
Book of Ryan is album of the year imo. I think that album is far beyond KOD. I'd also put Phonte's album above KOD but neither Phonte or Royce are as big as J Cole so if I was putting money on it, I'd say KOD.
Tony Schimmoeller I shouldn't say "of course KOD is album of the year", to be fair. That's just my opinion. I loved Book of Ryan but I would disagree with you when you say it's "far beyond" KOD. I think Royce been nice for a minute, and we already knew he had fire bars, but when it comes to artistic intent, creativity, I'd go KOD. (Ironically, one of my favorite songs off Book of Ryan is Boblo Boat, featuring J Cole, but that's not why I love that song, it's mostly the beat and the nostalgic feel of it, plus that video is amazing)
Haven't listened to Phonte's joint, but thanks for mentioning that, I'ma get to it right now lol
Eaque Johnson I like kod but personally Care for Me by Saba I think has been my album of the year, atleast personally.
P.s. Lost in Vegas if you see this react to either busy-sirens or prom-king by saba. Prom-king is the best song on album, but i feel you have to listen to rest of album before listening to that song. The song is comparable to sing about me, im dying of thirst by kendrick.
@@etphonehome3350 Care For Me is way better, but for some reason people keep ignoring it. I don't get how people don't want to listen to it
Still number one reaction channel best for describing in detail ups and downs to everything
#FreeThinker🐐🐐🐐🐐
half a million subscribers already, i guess content speaks for itself, keep it going guys
Cole is the 🐐 Undebatably! #DreamvilleGoinWayUpLikeAFloater #ColeWorld
Chef Jarvis Heastie No one the 🐐
Thank you for preaching about the lack of free thought in the internet, a lot of times labels are put on things and the masses follow. I feel that we are at a all time high of ignorance right now we need that FREE THINKING
KOD deserved a Grammy nomination.
I love your comment on “exposure to sounds” that was a great point
I’m only 17 but I grew up listening to jazz when I was younger bc my parents would listen to it and I feel like that exposure has opened me up to enjoying a lot more different jazz inspired music than my piers
Please listen to Mick Jenkins “Bruce Banner” its new an super fire 🔥🔥
Tavian Thomas thank youuu
Y'all are so spot on with music expose, it's intense.
KOD still album of the year. Mac Millers new album swimming is a great story too, check that one out for sure.
What I love about their videos is how they look exactly like they did a year ago. Keep it up guys
React to more of Denzel curry album !!!!!!!
Man i was waiting for this reaction, love the video .
You guys sleeping on TA13OO 👀
RipRon big facts
Ta13oo did what KOD tried to do but better. An I've never been a curry fan like that lol.
RipRon unless they don't want to do it because it is low key late. They should review it despite what is trending. People did their reviews 2 weeks ago
SERIOUSLY. Taboo is exceptional and they would definitely be rethinking having KOD as their album of the year, because I think they would really, really enjoy it.
Couldnt agree more
It’s been a while but y’all still haven’t changed. Keep it up
Two Words: King Iso
Ayee, I was waiting for this reaction guys!
You should check out Astroworld by Travis Scott and Taboo by Denzel Curry, probably the top albums of the year
astroworld might be the most autotuned album of the year and taboo is pretty much a shitter version of kod with only clout cobain being the standout song
Zack Donovan L
That movie analogy was on point!! Shout out to you guys, love how much passion you have for the culture 👊🏻
Not too late for once lol
I love Cole, and I’m so glad yall did this reaction!
Best albums of 2018 (IMO!):
TA13OO
DAYTONA
KOD
Danm Cole u took back this was needed in today relevant hip hop scene 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌
Mick Jenkins-Bruce Banner would love to hear your guys thoughts
Was about to head to bed, but had to check out this reaction real quick.
React to “ U” by Kendrick Lamar
Tyler Lacy Lmao u serious
We need more hip hop reviews from you guys!!!
React to Hospin - Hotel in Sidney! 🙏 it's basicly the raw and detailed part 1 of the song "I'll mind of hospin 9" that you did 4 months ago 🙏 without Hotel in Sidney - you kinda just have "part 2" of hospin 9, the ending.
Mariann L he isn't that good lol
We all have different taste, which is good because otherwise it would be boring, we would be like a pack of sheep's with no contrast. I can agree that the song it self might not be so damn good, but the history coming out from the lyrics is what's makes it worth checking out when they already heard I'll mind 9 - cause then you get a way better understanding and feeling of I'll mind 9.
Best reaction!! Y’all actually listen to the artists i enjoy you guys ✌🏻
MF DOOM- Doomsday
I was waiting on this one!!!
I recommend reacting to “stop trying to be god” the video is crazy and has so many encrypted and hidden messages and it’d be cool for you guys to try and figure out the meanings of it.
War Winner needed a better artist to do it
BEST REACTION CHANNEL HANDS DOWN!!
New Mick Jenkins song! React to Bruce Banner
I like that Shawshank comparison.. good shit as always boys. Keep doing your thing
Sicko mode by Travis Scott!!
100% agree with everything yall said in this reaction!
Mac Miller - Hurt Feelings (prod. By J. Cole)
Been waiting for this video since the song came out! Love the reactions, keep up the good content 🔥
ASTROWORLD
Daytona Smoove Travis sucks
Highkey y'all a blessing y'all getting me through an 8 hour car ride 🙌🙌
A narrative doesn't necessarily mean there's groupthink or following going on. If something is "true", then obviously a lot of people will agree with it. Didn't find KOD boring but I do think Cole's beats can get sleepy.
You're right it doesn't. However, when opinions aren't expounded on and there is no real in depth analysis on anything regarding the music besides 'it's boring'. That's usually an indication that there IS a 'group think', hive minded mentality present.
Lost In Vegas very true. In this video, you guys put into words what I’ve been trying to tell some of my friends about KOD for months. I also think that people love to hate on talent nowadays. The craziest thing is going to a comment section for a lil “insert name here” rappers new song and seeing a bunch of 🔥 emojis, whereas on a cole or Kendrick posts, you’ll see a lot of BS like “boring” or “overrated”. It’s like people refuse to expand their mind sometimes, and I really get scared for the progress of hip hop because of it. I’m not looking forward to more waves of rappers with overwhelming amounts of autotunes, ear shattering base, and saying a bunch of doo doo in between. But I’m glad at least guys like cole and kdot still carry the biggest followings.
Nik 117 i disagree with the first part of your statement, hip hop has become social music it's not that at it's heart. Production has excelled so much that people now can't listen to something without trap production or just beats that get you moving. 90s hip hop and earlier, the production was a loop just so the rapper had something to rhyme over and it was the lyrics that people paid attention to. And J cole has adapted his production to try and suit our hip hop generation, but again it has just become popular to just hate J Cole which I will never understand.
Nik 117 i know hip hop didn't start in the 90s but that's not the point I'm trying to make, the start of hip hop isn't necessarily where the love lies. If you are asked who is the king of hip hop or who is the best you would refer to the rappers like rakim, pac, hov, biggie etc. You might not think that but that is the general consensus. They are the people who helped the genre excel and move forward, but if that's the point you are making then you class the travis scotts and the migos as true hip hop more than the Coles and Kendricks.
Nik 117 fair enough if that's your point I can understand but then it also comes down to your personal preference of things, I dont need crazy production in order to enjoy an album and tbh it's odd that you say J Cole's album is boring because of production seeing as he uses trap beat influences on a few of his tracks and the majority of the album has good production, songs like window pain, the cut off, atm and many others have really good production but it is mainly down to preference in my opinion.
Been waiting on this all day lol
React to some juice wrld. Amazing music bro
Dj Lerma agreed
I liked juice when at first but now he just seems corny
Word
Where is the music where he actually rapping at.
He's trash
Coming with the heat
Pearl Jam - Jeremy
you guys are possibly the smartest reactors on TH-cam
JID would’ve murdered this
JID had a freestyle to this a while ago
Corey Goodrich yeah I’ve heard it but just didn’t remember
Been watching y’all since around 50k subs , it’s great to see the growth in the channel and your reactions ... definitely a big inspiration
Please react to Darius Rucker!!!!!!
Great analysis as always. I agree with you guys 100% I think because his concepts are so complex, its gets overlooked. Which is fine, because those that have an ear for music love what him and many others are doing. Once again, thanks for the great analysis, and I look fwd to some more reviews.
Request: anything from Run The Jewels
Sorry guys, but Denzel Curry's "TA13OO" is ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
KOD is close but I agree
A hundred percent
Nah
Is Day 69
Who tf is denzel curry? You mean denzel Washington?
I’ve been waiting for y’all to react to this 😭
Denzel Curry had the best album of the year imo
I was waiting on this 🙇🏿♂️
TA13OO is album of the year. K.O.D really wasn't that good.
I love your reactions. J Cole is definitely one of the top lyricist of this area in hip hop. Always pushing the culture forward. PLEASE REACT TO MAC MILLER: NPR MUSIC TINY DESK CONCERT
Lost in vegas!💖 Love the vids
3:11 yo wtf is that J. Cole face that you paused it on XDDDD it's legit killing me more than it should
