    i love the hook singing on lion king on ice .. i know people always want other ppl to do this but nah, i love when he does hooks nd I always will. you get to feel the pain in those. it's intangible.

    Idk why, but for some strange reason I'm more hyped about The Fall Off than I was hyped for 2014 FHD or even his debut. When I first heard "1985" and saw that (intro to fall off) part I was like "okaaaaaaaaaaaay Cole, okayyy", then he posted cover of 2 dogs going at each other (DMX vibe 100%) and I snapped, basically I relistened most of his stuff cause it's been a while since I did that. Man, Cole better drop some bombs on it.

    If Kendrick drops anytime soon I'm pretty sure Cole will win that round.

    i would want TFO to be all fresh songs, I don't mind bonuses at the end but i'd rather not here 1985 as the intro and any of these new tracks sprinkled in. maybe this is just me being selfish lol.

    Exactly, it feels like Cole is on some other s--- right now, I'd say he's cocky yet humble. TSS was huge back in the day, at least for me. 2014FHD is #1 in my books, 4YEO also, I have a lot of great memories related with this project.

    I hope Fall Off gon' be out in 2020, too much waiting for stuff nowadays.

    1985 def ain’t gon be on the album imo lol , people think he literally Meant it was going to be the intro on the album, I think he didn’t mean it that way, I always took the intro to the fall off as like this record is going to set the tone for my next album, cause 1985 ain’t even a intro type record lol

    That boy hit a vein on the climb back, I don't even want the fall off this year keep working & perfecting explore that space. I want an emotional album. Retire with his opus.

    Throw us some scraps & throwaways like Drake did to hold people over. Truly yours ep type s---.

    I can't believe I'm excited about Cole again, unbelievable.

    was thinking the same, 1985 was an intro to what vibes he is gonna bring with this album

    The Fall off bout to be FHD on roids if he keeps this vibe throughout entire album or atleast majority of it. I hope it turns out to be Cole's best project (including mixtapes).

    I just want an aggressive Cole album with him rapping like this the whole album. With maybe 2 songs that are less aggressive and more just great songs and fit the album.

    I need at least one love yourz style joint and I'll be happy. Need the chaos and the calm from Cole. It seems like it could be his best yet

    That lion king on ice hook is addictive. Tbr drake would’ve set that s--- off frfr lol, I can hear drake singing that hook for sure.. just drake on the hook , no verse. s--- def would’ve hit number one on billboard lol. Cole seem like the type of n----- that wouldn’t have liked the s--- going number 1 just cause drake on it lol. I’m lowkey that way too, don’t need a n----- help on s---, do my own s---, but still that was a missed opportunity with drake on that hook. Cole killed it to tho, just a thought.

    I'll take a Drake collab with him singing the hook. I am very unsure whether Drake would be a waste of a verse honestly.

    I guess it's a matter of pride where if cole comes up with the hook and melody then he'd think why should he just allow someone else to sing it, maybe in his mind they wouldn't be able to do it better. Even the power trip hook, he was really close to dropping that without Miguel lmao
