    100 mill not bad at all, the production is hard, Cole rapping too. I was thinking what track I like the least and I’m really not sure which one I would call “weak”. Every album will have that one or two tracks you like less than the others, but that doesn’t make them weak.

    Hello and sometimes St. Tropez is like that for me on FHD, but they not weak, I just like the rest of FHD a lot more.

    If I had to nitpick off season, I guess I would like 2 Cole verses on punchin the clock and applying pressure. But they still great with one verse. That’s my only nitpick honestly, but that me being selfish wanting more Cole verses.

    I still don't know my top 5. I don't think I will ever have a top 5. My top 5 change based on my mood.

    I remember when styles p was defending Cole when that dude mouse was saying Cole won’t that good.. bruh was acting like he had something against Cole lol.. I forgot what show it was on, but it was with Rosenberg from hot 97... styles p was telling dude he was bugging . I know Cole know bout that s---.. so it’s dope Cole sampled styles p my life hook for this song paying homage , putting the younger heads on to it.. cause I won’t even familiar with the song until Cole version

    When Cole is not pushing for anything that’s when he make his best work. His mixtapes, FHD, and Off Season are like that. It’s clear on his other albums that he was pushing for something.

    Cole is absolutely rapping his a--- off for d--- near two minutes straight and telling a chilling story on Close. A1 cut. Some of these cuts didn’t need a hook. I like that Cole just went off lyrically on a few of em. Also loving the cockiness at the end of Applying Pressure. Sometimes ya gotta just flex.

    “By now, we’ve grown accustomed to hearing concept albums from J. Cole, but The Off-Season has mixtape energy. Bringing in a sampling of outside voices and producers, he doesn’t stick to just one sound or topic. Throughout the project, he tries out different flows and rhyme schemes, putting an emphasis on bars over hooks as he explores new territory. As he explained in his new documentary and SLAM interview, he wanted to treat this project like an offseason workout, and it’s refreshing to hear him focus on rapping extremely well at various speeds, without trying to force it all into a conceptual package. As a result, he sounds more loose and creative than we’ve heard him on other releases. In lesser hands, an approach like this could have led to an unfocused project full of throwaways, but Cole pulls it off.” —Eric Skelton

    ““Applying Pressure” is the thesis statement. Jermaine skates for nearly two minutes straight like he’s recording an LA Leakers freestyleinstead of an album cut, then spends the last 45 seconds sneering like he just dropped 40 on someone’s head at the neighborhood court: “I gotta flex sometimes because n-ggas just try to act like you just not that motherfuckin' n-gga...n-ggas will look you dead in your face and really act like you don't do it to the level that you do it. That's why sometimes you gotta come through and just do it at the level that you do it in front of every n-gga face.” Message received!“ -GQ Magazine

    Man I’m so glad he started doing regular music videos again! It didn’t make sense for 4YEO but FHD deserved the big budget treatment.

    This is fire. Simple but cool.
