    I think this album is also a classic example of how people are split on the j cole is boring/you have to have a certain level of intelligence to listen to him meme.

    It's quite easy to get turned off by the slowness and dark tone of the album and Cole definitely didn't make this album to appease most casual listeners. To actually get the value from it, you need to connect with it emotionally and get lost in the journey which most listeners aren't prepared to do and a lot of us seem to have connected with it on some level which is why we listen to most Cole music

    I find it interesting how Cole as an individual found himself with FHD, and after the uplifting end you're thinking its even possible that Cole might move on to making "happy" music. But this has gotta to be the one of the most somber, depressing albums in recent memory, and for that reason, a lot of people won't like this. If not for Change, there is not a lot that is truly uplifting about this album, but thats what makes this album so powerful. I have a specific movie in mind and I don't want to spoil it for anyone but I remember going to watch that movie and it literally ends in disaster and despair. There's no uplifiting arc, to make you feel better, its just documenting the realities of life being so painful. And thats what this s--- is to me. Its a guy that has done so much for himself looking around and realizing his people are still suffering and in turn internalizing all that pain. I'm glad he did it though, because this s--- was more than neccessary.

    This s--- happened to me on the last track on my 2nd listen of the album fam, I was ridding on the bus surrounded with a lot of people and all of the sudden someone started cutting some onions right before me b. I don't ever get that emotional over a track but this s--- was too much. Had to quickly recover and act like something fell into my eye

    We had this discussion way back on JCN so I'll just retread, but it doesn't matter what any other individual thinks, all opinions are valid as long as they're you're own. The only validation your views need are your own. That's what makes the world a beautiful place is that there are an infinite number of views that make up our species as a whole

    but over all it's hard for me to write off even the songs i don't like.

    because even when he's musically missing (imo obv) like on ville mentality and folding clothes, he's getting straight to the point and sticking religiously to the story/theme.

    so it's a situation sort of like a movie where you don't mess with some scenes, but the movie still dope. idk how to feel tbh.

    the only reason i can't say folding clothes is worse than songs like hello is because it has a purpose.
