I LOVE me some J Cole

I LOVE me some J Cole.
some say this dude is too emotional but I don't.
I love how real this kat is. His song Apparently is so nice. Like I can feel his pain as he raps about leaving his mother to get a record deal
Fire Squad is straight fire. He roasting them other kats with this track.
Overall, I like his work because the depth and versatility this man has.
He shows off another side here. We know he can make radio records and make singles.
He presents to the world a real nice album that gets you thinking, DAMN, this dude is real mature to be able to sit back and reflect back on things with honesty the way he does. (He also has a college degree fyi)

GET THIS ALBUM if you like Cole and/or like rap. You are welcome yo.

This man is a beast in every regard!

Lyrics? ON POINT!
Music Production? ON POINT!

If you are already familiar with his past works, then you know that he delivers in all categories of an album. There is variety to each song, which are supported by his lyrics and the production. I mean his music is great to me. Obviously music reviews are more subjective than most reviews on amazon, so check his music out before you buy it! I'm not suggesting anyone to illegally download his music, but we live in an era where it is easy to listen to full albums (via Spotify, for example). J. Cole is an artist that is contributing to his genre in a positive way and it shows in this album. Buying albums is so rare these days, but buying his album shows his record label that people like his music even if there is no mainstream hit. Grant J. Cole artistic freedom!!!! OH MY.. I need to stop. I'm about to go off on a tangent. Sorry for the scrambled thoughts review. Cole World!

"An album 10 dollars. You act like its 10 Gs. This food for thought cost the same as two number 3s."

And his album art is nice and simple. Can't hate on that

After hearing Born Sinners, I was anxious for this album.Its not the same as Born Sinners but overall I really like it.I think it has a bit of an old school style rap to it and I can listen to it 5 years from now and still feel the songs.His songs are realistic (telling a story)to me compared to what other artist rap about.I feel like if you can't relate to some of his stories in his songs or comprehend his lyrics, your not gonna like the album.So to each it's own.I like what he created, just wish there were more tracks.

Expired Digital Download...

I bought this vinyl for my brother's birthday since J. Cole is one of my favorite artists and I wanted to share that with him. The vinyl looked alright and he said he liked how it sounds. This morning he was going to download the digital version with the code included, but ran into a problem. The code expired on February of 2016, that was OVER A YEAR AGO! I'm absolutely disgusted that Amazon would 2 day ship me 1/2 of an expired present. I would rate this lower, but I still love J. Cole's album and so does my brother.

2014 Forest Hills Drive is by far one of my favorite albums I've listened to and I reccomend the music to anyone. So because I loved the album, I decided to order a vinyl version to listen to on my record player. Got here very quickly and everything initially seemed great but when I played it, tracks started skipping to the point where you cannot listen to the vinyl as it repeats a verse over and over again and then skips straight to the chorus. I cleaned my record player and played other vinyls I have and none have the same problem. Very disappointed. Getting a replacement and hoping that it was just my copy that had the problem...

F*** Money, Spread Love

Amazing album. A lot of people are giving TPAB a ton of hype, but this is my top contendor for Rap Album of the Year. The thems he covers aren't new, but the way he approaches each song is a refreshing sound, unheard of in this dance/rap era we are in today. Cole shines on tracks such as A Tale of 2 Citiez, and Fire Squad, croons (not too shabbily, I might add) on Hello, does both on Love Yourz. This album has gone platinum, and it released with no singles. The promo was very minimal, and Cole invited people to his home to listen to it for the first time. The unofficial motto for this release was F*** Money, Spread Love. Cole is an artist to be taken seriously, as he's found himself once again. Maybe rap isn't about hunger, or depression, or the streets. Maybe it's just about love.

J. Cole's Deepest Album

October 14, 2015

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

I don't think I have ever heard a rapper be more vulnerable or genuine than J. Cole is on this album. Cole had set precedent for that sort of openness and honesty on his previous albums and mixtapes, but 2014 Forest Hills Drive is a step beyond that. This album is really personal, but not didactic.

While this album overall has the most depth, the music wasn't as much to my liking. I don't play these songs as often as songs from his other albums. Still gets five stars.
