Albums J. Cole - The Off-Season (Discussion Thread)

[Mike the Executioner]

Off the first listen, this is his best album since Forest Hills Drive.

This is arguably better than Forest Hills Drive. Artists talk all the time about how great their new albums are and how much effort they put into them, but with Cole, he wasn't lying. You can tell he wanted this album to be special. Not one bad song or wasted beat.

 

[DapMeUp!]

Definitely Coles best lyrical flex on any album he ever released.
I liked every song even the interlude I thought was light at first listen.

Need a couple more listens but this could be his best in terms of running the whole album through.
Don't feel like there are any skips.

I want more of 100 mil. That ain’t fair, Cole.

This shyt is tough so far. Better than I expected that’s for sure.

edit: pride is the devil is fukkin wavy.

 

[African_brehda]

No skips from me. Still mad we didn’t get a rap rap guest verse that has me rewinding like 10 times. Still, very very solid album

 

[African_brehda]

Innocence is just ignorance before it’s introduced to currency and clips

 

[Roxx the King]

That applying pressure song is hard as fukk. Sheesh

It's literally 545am and it had me up in my garage stepping. Track was fire

This album is almost the same length as Illmatic (both 39 minutes). Coincidence?
