    I think KOD is going to have more of a FHD effect then 4YEO did. The album is a MASSIVE grower.

    ATM sounds like a logic song if we're being honest

    Kevin's Hart, BRACKETS, Once An Addict, FRiENDS, Window Pain, 1985 are the best 6 song stretch on any Cole project. But that first half of the album b smh. This dude Jermaine is the biggest mystery in the f---ing universe with how he can be so polarizing.

    1st half pretty strong too imo. motiv8 bring it down a bit for me. Didn't like The Cutoff at first, but that is one of Cole's more creative songs in his career. But that 2nd half basically 10/10 for me.

    The Cut Off is great. ATM is dope. I ain't feeling KOD and Motiv8. I could live without ever hearing Photograph also. So basically this s--- has is 3 filler songs out of 12. That's not bad considering Cole's history.
    @Head Bussa

    And I don't have that much issues with pitched down hooks. That's that H-Town screwed s---. IMO fits the concept. But like I said on my first listen review, this s--- needed an outside Dreamville opinion. Could've been best Cole album.

    I love the title track, @Bliss Cole’s flow is flawless and he sounds confident as h--- on it.

    I wish Motiv8 was longer. Should’ve extended verse 2 another 30 seconds or so. He was flowing so smoothly

    Motiv8 sounds like Kendrick got run over by a bus, somehow survived and then went back to making music. KOD has that cool line about no features, but that hook annoys the f--- out of me. Lmao but that's just me. I won't s--- on this album after 2 weeks prolly. So yall can consider that a W for Cole. @Head Bussa

    I'm with Bliss on Motiv8. Just not fully fleshed out. Should have scratched that one off, it's kind of unnecessary after ATM. ATM to Kevin's Hart would have been GOAT.

    Cole paid homage to Biggie’s flow on verse 2 of Motiv8. Makes it even doper with the Get Money sample.

    Imagine Biggie rapping this.

    [Verse 2]
    Woah, suddenly, I feel like takin' a PJ
    Get money
    Fly to D.R. on a weekday, eatin' ceviche
    With like half of a mili' inside of my briefcase
    A couple of freaks play
    And they don't speak Ingles
    But the money is somethin' that they could comprende
    And I got bread like I'm Green Day

    Motiv8 is up there with Hello and Foldin Clothes. But isn't as bad as those two. Motiv8 will be great live, that is what saves it to me. Nothing is bad as Foldin Clothes.

    I was agreeing about Motiv8. As much as I like Cole's lazy delivery on the second part, its my least favorite track on the album along with Photograph.
