    That's why he is on the cut off and FRIENDS which are about the social and familial consequences of drug addiction... :khaled:
    And FRIENDS is just after once an addict where he speaks about the personal consequences addiction had on his relationship with his mom...:to:

    These songs take another sense now :weebey:

    K.O.D is astonishing.
    Was listening to it high as f--- yesterday. The experience was wonderful as much as it was disturbing.

    I didnt feel the mix and the mastering on it at first until yesterday. I understand more the mood set up for the cut off or Motiv8. But for Kevin's heart, FRIENDS and Window pain there was something more.
    The mumble style on Kevin's heart was set up to demonstrate the routine we can fall when we are addicted. We're lazy to change our behaviours and we know we are acted like s--- but the routine is too hard.
    FRIENDS was a great track but I find it at first demagogical. The rythm is slow letting Cole's flow to explore various reasons why we get caught in drugs. In the beginnig, his flow is slow and takes time to articulate every words. As he moves away from external factors such as politics or the culture and tackle the internal reasons of addiction, the pace of flow accelerate and he became angry as he was trying to revigorate people to take responsability.
    Finally, Window pain. My favorite track. His flow is voracious. And the instrumental organizing a paranoid moment. The pace of the kicks, this few keys and the various elements who took their places gradually as he elaborates why nothing changes in suburban places in America (the culture of social acceptance with g--- and drugs) and the reason he suffers. And this hook... The hook make feel like just remind him all this pain is what makes him happy, like the only happiness come from suffering. Deep inside, dreams still the same and he cant escape from that and he is sentenced to achieve them. And with this girl he changes his perspective. The girl transcend the pain in a spiritual way that is so beautiful.
    1985 come after and that's how he goes beyond this famous point of view he had on life and how it influence his rap: the only beauty come from pain.

    K.O.D is a rare piece of art in the way he talk about addiction. Every work who approach the subject didnt take it as a whole in how it can be experienced. Cole did it.

    Knowing that Edward is Cole's step dad made me now appreciate the only song on the album I didn't really care for: The Cut Off
