    Seems like it. Very personal and introspective like a Cole album cut. And he does the hooks by himself like usual. Plus T Minus co-produced it.

    It’s definitely good enough to be on TFO. All it needs is a second Cole verse

    Bas would have great chemistry with Cudi. They should collab. Both have similar vibes and chill melodies.

    Went through Elephants Eyes last week and got obsesed with this song
    P.S : It's a classic and just on the strict point of view of the subject on the album it was avant-garde type

    Remember back when Cole in 2014 began to be in this Bob Marley imagery : I think the next step on The Fall Off is tro bring this kind of soul and vibes in the music and it goes with the vocal

    Elephant Eyes is a classic, hopefully they can figure out the sample issues (?) to clear it for streaming services again.

    Exactly, but it seems on those tracks that it doesn't seem complete based on the vision he have
    That's why maybe the fall off is taking time to be released
    With home alone, it feels like more mastered with the content he is talking about (growing up as MacCaulet Culkin but on a lifetime in a poor neighborhood)

    I'm sorry to say that but for Cozz : it's done. Went through his catalogue last night and he lost all this hunger which was the basis of his music.
    And for Lute : he has to learn how to use his anxiety to put it in the music, but it seems complicated for him

    Cole could’ve dropped just this freestyle in 2021 and he’d be the best rapper



    The Offseason was him lapping his peers. Then he strikes in ‘22 with verse of the year on Johnny P’s Caddy. The Recipe verse of the year ‘23

    s----s too easy for him

    h--- ya. Fire watching Cole become the numero uno. The last five years have been how I thought the beginning of his career would go. The journey has been amazing

    It’s a shame Mac Miller passed and he couldn’t get the help he needed. Been listening to him lately. Self Care, Hurt Feelings. Classics. Bas style reminds me of Miller

    Dead wrong! I dig Butcher, but The Fall Off definitely is.

    Do ya think Cole sees that sort of stuff and it gets him hungrier? He’s gonna Johnny P the whole game with The Fall Off.

    I disagree with butcher. I respect it because he’d be a fool not to stand behind his project. AND butcher can really rap, so it’s only right for him to say. I can’t wait for it to drop!!! This may be true to a minority of folks but the majority waiting on Cole.
