    Ville Mentality narrative is spot on. To me though it’s a track that fits into more of a play/musical than a hip hop album.

    Cole should write a play/musical one day. Imagine him writing and directing s--- on Broadway. His melodies and harmonies would work on stage

    Cole just dropped an amazing album, I would love to see him interact more with the people and have a discussion on twitter about the album. I think his fans and people in general would love that. I rather Cole do that than post lyrics.

    I would love him to interact more. But part of what I love about Cole is that he is mysterious asf. So when he do come out, it's an event. It's the suspense.

    Just listened with some great pair of headphones and it’s even better now, this album is such a good listen and zero skips.

    I think Cole makes his albums for headphones tbh. Didn't he say he purposely does something with the mixing so that it isn't too loud or something like that? His albums always sound better when I listen through headphones as opposed to bumping in the car.

    I get that but he has a platform, people actually want to discuss the topics he touches on KOD and it most likely could reach and create a bigger conversation.

    I was hoping for an Elliot Wilson Tidal interview where he can dive deep into the album. Similar to Jay-z's 444 interview with Elliot Wilson. That would be dope.

    Well written review, short and to the point, reasonable points throughout

    J. Cole's KOD isn't full of hits, but it's a front-to-back success

    Lmaoo I swear b. Obama was worse than Trump. For the rest of the world when Trump came s--- was welcomed. This fa---- Obama bombed 7 countries for literally no f---ing reason, let alone ain't did s--- to improve the standard for his own people aka black community in his country. f--- him. All these American presidents are the most hypocritical people walking this earth. I'm glad af Russia f---s them in the a--- every time possible

    I think Cole already solidified his spot in the top 3 of our generation INDEFINITELY. And it's his competitions fault for never capitalizing. Like for example Big Sean, he was always in the talks for the top 3 but not as much as Cole, and after Cole dropped FHD in 2014 more and more people started mentioning the big 3 as Cole Kendrick and Drake, but yet they were still weary and it wasn't as mentioned as it is now. between 2014 and 2016 other rappers could've capitalized on dropping classics to get them in contention of being in the big three but they never did, so then everyone just got used to the same convo of the big 3 since 2014 and ever since then it's stuck with the culture, and that's why Cole can never leave the big 3 Convo and I think he's solidified himself in it forever:idk: (for our generation)

    Trump has increased drone strikes and gets the wrong targets even more than Obama. And trump unnecessarily increased the US military budget which is already over bloated. I thought he was for rebuilding America? Our infrastructure gets a grade of D or D+. Trump said he wants to fix it but then his plan actually privatizes infrastructure to solely benefit his Goldman Sachs buddies. Under his first year 93,000 Jobs were outsourced. 87,000 were outsourced under Obama’s last term. Trump is gutting clean air and water regulations put in place by Obama. Trump is much worse than Obama @Bliss

    not true, he said he wanted to increase them/remove limits on drone strikes from obama's administration. Obama has issued more airstrikes over the middle east in 2016 than any other world leader has in history.

    Man, F Trump and this political talk about who better. I still got to get up everyday go to work and pay bills. People die everyday around the World and in the U.S. for no reason. We get a President that can change that, then they the best. Now back to Cole...

    so the coalition have totalled 10,000. great, Obama's himself solely was on 26000 at the end of 2016.

    the second link, discusses like 3-4 different places that had bombs double. Again, that doesn't mean much as Obama (by himself) sstill has the highest KDR over those nations.

    The war in syria wont stop until the west get rid of Assad. They supported the rebels, even gave isis are their trucks and stuff from the iraq war to fight Assad, they destabilized the middle east even more. Assad is winning this war, the west together with Israel and Saudi are trying everthing to throw Assad down. 2 chemical attacks in 1 year, no proof Assad was behind that but the west still shot missiles. The US sooner or later will ge in Syria officialia with troops, they need their pipelines through Syria which Assad dont let them cause his cut was to low, one reason this was started. US/ west are always gonna support the rebels in a war when they wanna take down the goverment(look algeria, egypt etc.) if they dont do it by their self(look iraq).

    This is WW3, the wars dont like back in the day. We have US, Russia, China, Iran, Saudi, Iraq, France, UK, Israel to name some involved in the war right now and people dont Call it a WW, smh
