    After 2 years anticipation, I can't help but to feel let down after my favorite artist released his latest album. Sure he has some incredible songs (Immortal, Neighbors, Change, and 4 Your Eyez Only), but it does not make up for the quality of the other tracks. I think Cole accomplished what he wanted with this album. It just wasn't the album we wanted from him as fans. I'm really hoping for a follow up mixtape early in 2017. Cole didn't leave us with enough quality content to leave us dry for another two years.

    I think it fell short in a lot of areas but Immortal and the outro are some of Cole's best songs ever.

    4YEO is for a conservative rapper like Cole, his most ambitious project. I think most of us Cole fans are proud that he managed to stick with a theme and execute it well for a full-length LP, he failed miserably at this on Born Sinner. Some of his best work to date is on here and sonically this is--in the scope of his career--the most rich project yet...

    Despite all this I still feel uninterested in his work nowadays, I think someone else could appreciate it more but it feels like I've been hearing Cole tell the same story since 2013. Funny enough I want more Work Outs & Power Trips which I feel he could be good at (which probably explains why Deja Vu is as of now my most played song from the album).

    It is one of the best he's done. This is for sure another chapter in Truly Yours though.

    I think the album is incredible, this is A+ pen game lol. Could maybe have 2 songs more, but this length is a good listen. This is his best project yet cause everything flows like a book.
