It's simple yet beautiful. Cole's bars shined. I really want this album now

same

Cole album done?

Excited to hear what he's been cooking up.

It seems like Cole is finally at the point where his bars are stream of consciousness and effortless. Like how he described writing KOD and how he rapped on ROTD3. Curious how it'll translate to an album that he spends longer on.

Back in the Born Sinner era the bars were still dope but it seemed like it was a process for him. FHD obviously a classic but you could tell he thought extensively about the bars. Now it just seems like he just starts and it comes out the way we all want it.

Idk if this post makes sense but I think you get my point.

Cole albums are exciting to me because they always weirdly seem to line up with how I'm feeling in life at the time of their release.

F*** YES

How soon we thinking this dropping

They used Olu’s “customs” metaphor as the source i hate these websites man

Cole talks about retirement thoughts with The Fall Off in 2016

"For the next three months I would wake up in that old, familiar room, putting myself through morning writing drills before heading off to Electric Lady Studios with a short term plan to finish the 4 Your Eyez Only album before the arrival of my first child, and a long term plan of becoming the best rapper I could possibly be before hanging up my jersey, leaving nothing on the table when all was said and done. The seeds for ​The Fall Off w​ere planted."

Says the inspiration came back to him in 2019

"Four years have passed. In that time I’ve been blessed with two sons, learned the delicate art of balance between parenthood and career, had the pleasure of working with a ton of talented artists as a featured rapper, spent 10 magical days recording a Dreamville album in Atlanta, and put a lot of time and energy into sharpening my sword and growing as an artist. The fire that was once dying out has returned, and for that I’m grateful. On my career bucket list, there remain a few more items to check off before I give myself permission to enter whatever the next chapter of my life may be. However, as I approach the summit of this mountain, I still find myself staring at that other one in the distance, wondering if I can climb. At 35 years old, I know that sounds crazy when said out loud, but I believe all of the best dreams do."
