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

[FunkDoc1112]

No one wants to hear 5vmintues songs anymore. No matter how much you bold and increase the font. It’s been this way going on 4 years now

nikka shut the fukk up and stop being a grown man with 16 year old sensibilities.

Yo.
Breath Control is so underrated nowadays.
People will dikk ride rappers breathing mid-verse, punching in every other line, stumbling/flubbing words etc.
Dudes will legitimately take a poor vocal performance cause the track is "hot".

Also, I gotta say, I hated on 21 Savage initially and linking up with Amber Rose did him no favors in my
eyes but looking back, I gotta give him props for really bringing it on both of the tracks I've heard him on with
Cole.

This is legitimately a great project, I'm seriously impressed.

 

[FlyGuy]

Almost sounded like a mixtape to me but had some great tracks

I like the album.

J Cole 'Let Go My Hand'

Has the same melody as

Currensy 'New Orleans State Of Mind'

Cole stays stealing melodies

 

[CrimsonTider]

fukking sad, and stupid.

Not even asking for 5 whole minutes. Just give dont end them so abruptly. Yall just accept anything nowdays.



look how long the beat played til 50 started rapping.

that was never ever the standard

I always wonder if they count reaction videos to the streams because some of these videos have hundred of thousands of views and they basically playing the whole album all the way through.

 

[frush11]

Decent music, nothing that's gonna make me play any song back.

Dude's music just has little personality to me

 

[gluvnast]

No dreamville features?


One of the Earthgang dudes would’ve fit nice on one of those songs

Bas is all over this album.

 

[Big Boss]

I keep coming back to this album...one thing I noticed is that he sounds way more confident on this project compared to previous.

 

[THE 101]

The more I listen to this the more shallow it feels.

It's a good album. Good beats, Cole is rapping well. But it's all a little....i dunno...empty. A lot of generic bars and a lack of true inspiration. His music just lacks personality to me. He raps well and the beats are enjoyable but I need more than that if you want to put Cole on a pedestal as a truly great artist.

This is just stupid

 

[MoneyTron]

Gave it the car test around 285.

It’s...OK.

I wouldn’t play it through again. 7.5/10 sounds about right.
