    my guy @Lute252
    Cole is trying to wake people up along with Kendrick. They might do it in different and some similar ways but they on the same team. Kdot a lot subtler and not as in your face as Cole

    Yoh, from DJ Booth who did the album review on "KOD" posed this question, which I never really thought of until reading his piece: What if the woman's voice that starts off some of the songs is Cole's mother?

    Wat it do fellas...

    So After listen to the album for a bit... it's clear to me that this is unlike anything Cole has ever created and you can hear the influence of the younger Artist around him. JID, Earthgang etc...

    I hear so many people when I listen to this... I get some Biggie, some Pac and some EM too.... I'm not comparing them but you can tell that he was mimicking a lot of flows and deliveries. Busta/Missy with the video, 90's vibe... all of that s---.

    I agree that the second half of the album is almost flawless. Kevin's Heart til the end are some of the best songs he has ever made. Window Pain is like a 2face to me... it's so powerful, I think it's the best some on the album. I instantly connected with it and just felt the emotion and passion throughout, I would love to hear the whole interview he has with that little girl.

    I think KOD and photograph are great songs and I need to go back to them more. Where I have issues with the project is 4.5 and 6. The hooks are too repetitive at times and I can only sit through it for so long. I like the concepts and the premise of the songs, especially the Cut off but the k--- Edward is a bit much also. Having said that, I the beat and overall vibe of Motiv8 and ATM are so bouncy that I have to listen.

    Anyways, I need to sit with the album more and I know there are messages I am not fully getting. His pen game is on point in this album and there is something new I find when I repeat a song. Word play and stories are always his strengthen, and this album is no different.

    I think as of now the album is up there with 4YEO and FHD... need more time to rank it with his stuff, but it's an amazing album. right now - 8/10

    I do think he bite Kenny with the whole Choose Wisely thing.. and the intro. BUT I wonder, did Cole have this thought out first? He did say that most of this was done back when... IDK... but happy with new Cole and need to break it down more...

    Y'all be good.... THE REAL IS BACK..... :colerly:

    Cole’s actual brother (Zach Cole) doing a youtube reaction to KOD lol. Dropping a lot of gems about Cole’s childhood. Main one being his stepdad is called Edward. Fits in with the k--- Edward theme. Also on Window pains when he says “All I wanna do is k--- the man who made my momma cry”

    That video kind of weird. Seems like those dudes we’re using him just to get some extra views, he didn’t seem to f--- with them like that. Cole don’t keep in touch with his brother or play him his new music? Why he on Youtube hearing his own brothers album for the first time with two hypebeast white kids who have only have 800 subscribers lol.

    Yeah... makes me think that his brother could have been cut off.... I mean at one point he was working as a stage hand for one of Cole's show...

    weird... def using him but Makes me wonder why they had a falling out.

    But it sounds like only a few people in Cole's camp heard the album before it came out so we may be reading into this a bit
