Can we just appreciate this fucking masterpiece of a video
Like bruh.... This Video is 2014 FOREST HILLS DRIVE Itself🔥🔥
I have never seen this channel before but I’m so glad I saw this video. Absolutely great
@@charliehonduran check the Mac miller doc next 👍👍 this channel is fiiiire
Word up 🔥
😮
2014 FHD dropped when our generation was still really young, but you know it’s a classic when as you’ve matured, you’ve realized the same life lessons Cole came to 10 yrs before you ever did.
ive been listening since i was a 6th grader when he dropped cole world sideline story and i just liked the melodys and over years of listening i still get taught new lessons and i feel like i havent even fully understoof it all im barely 19 it all makes sense but i can never fully relatw thats why i fw cole cause he puts me in s situation and helps me think straight
It’s crazy to think I was in 10th grade when his first album dropped, people were hating on me listening to Cole, then 2014 FHD came out, and all of a sudden everyone who talked trash were fans.
Anyways the only other rapper I put on Coles level is KRIT
🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Forest Hills Drive went double platinum with no features.
@@OkieDokieSmokie triple now
I 100% understand anyone's reasoning for clinging to this album. It's amazing front to back. But 4 Your Eyez Only is a magnum opus. I was a white kid that lived in absolute poverty. Homeless so many times I lost count, changed schools every 3 months, parents writ drug addicts. 4 Your Eyez Only made me realize it's not just me, it's everybody. And their pains are just as deep if not deeper. Thank You Cole, I'm a better man because of you.
Agree with this 100% 4 Your Eyez Only is seriously one of my favorite albums and is (imo) Cole's best album. The story it tells is just incredible.
every song is perfect for the album. its my favorite album of all time and completely goes under the radar. the shes mine songs just feel like love. change is a unique vibe that is perfect piece of work in its self. immortal and neighbors are the perfect hit songs for this album. deja vu is a bit different from the rest of the album but sound wise fits perfect and is a great song ofc. the intro is great in itself. the outro track is obviously an incredible piece of art and one of the best songs ever imo. and ville mentality is a perfect song to preface it and is an emotional great song as well. the only thing that may be considered a bit eh is foldin clothes lmao. but even still i vibe with it. album is basically perfect. tbh though, i think a song like once an addict would have fit so perfect on here as well, and thats one of my favorite cole songs
Thank you!
damn bro damn near made me shed a tear. i come from an opposite background really i’ve had a structured life but even with this i was constantly losing mental battles with myself, feeling inferior and almost feeling death was the only thing significant i’d ever do. Cole made me realize the same thing you did, we’re all going through it. i always wondered how people could wake up every morning not crippled by anxiety by the uncertainty’s the day would bring. cole made me realize we just do it cause we have to there’s no better reason to look for. everyone’s surviving trying to live, but you gotta learn how to live through trying to survive. much love to you man keep moving and never stop, we all gonna be moving with you❤️
@@jakeboynton SOSOSOSOSO a thing I noticed and im not sure if everyone caught, but folding clothes, "I wanna fold clothes for you" is a DIRECT reference back to Born Sinner.
"Even the nigga running through bitches on tour?"
With a good girl at home folding clothes and shit
She losing faith in him and he knows and shit"
talking about a person (himself) not being able to settle down meaningfully. in folding clothes he is completely stating how that has changed
I came here for the album review but man the intro got me emotional, feel the same
Feeling emotional the whole way through lol
Ikr the honey ad got me in tears
That honey ad was tearjerking
Maybe the off season will be your album that gets you through
Jake knocked it out the park again.. I hope Cole sees this one day, I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Even more than we do probably..
Same bro, #SAME!
Not gonna act like I’m a OG J. Cole fan but the first time I heard this album in early 2020 was just life changing. I was going through some dark times and at times it felt Cole was talking to me. His music really helped me get out of that place and I feel to lucky to finally get to know his music. I can’t get enough of this man and I can’t wait for his next album.
Listen to Nas
J. Cole said the exact same thing about him
Yeah, I heard KOD and it drove me crazy, I went through his whole discography and I fell in love with his music and now I'm a huge fan.
I hate it how fans of anyone are acting like theyve been listening since literaly day 1
@@Viktor-gt4dx some actually have tho. I been listening to cole like 2012. Not day 1 but a long time
@@Viktor-gt4dx
Chill, that's a pretty lame reason to hate. The world.has enough.
What’d you think of The Off-Season?
Oklahoma
Hell yea may 14 baby!!
Hell yeah
We ready
Of course
This brought tears to my eyes because 2014 FHD was equally just as important for me in such a pivotal time in my life
AGREED. I think this was a transformational period for anybody who resonated with it. This is when I knew Cole finally found himself, and I did as well.
I was 14 lol
Literally me too. I was just out of high school, running the streets and living way to fast way too young.
This man out here making videos because he actually cares. Can't fake this level of dedication
THIS SLAPPED! great video
God, I broke down into tears as soon as I heard those Love Yourz notes. It's just such a powerful song
What’s a compelling opening argument dude.... fuck you’re a legend. I was halfway through typing out in this sentence that I know your channel is going to blow up and be huge, but I started thinking about it, and I’m sure you probably already know this... you’re already there. How many views or subscribers you have doesn’t truly say anything. Every single one of these videos you drop is an absolute masterpiece. You’ve changed my perception of people, inspired me to find new music that I now love, we are blessed to have you man. Thank you 🙏🏽
"I came fast like 911 in white neighborhoods" is one of the first bars that got me into hip hop
Ain't got no shame bout it 💯
This video is a masterpice.
My bf doesn't appreciate j cole that much. I always thought he just wanted to be different since a lot of people enjoy him lol. You worded it in a way that finally made sense to me. I defend his music so heavily because of how much I rely on it to take me out of myself when I feel alone. Good video
That's interesting bc me & my bf are the opposite - he likes J Cole & I always thought his music is kinda boring lol. But hey, we all got different tastes
@@scarlet8078 what kind of music do you like?
@@lamarsemi7061 death suicide metal
This video is simply incredible man. One of the best you’ve ever created it’s so personal yet professional at the same time just perfect. Would you ever do this for Mac Miller’s swimming or any of his albums?
Truuuuuee, he has one video on Mac, if you didnt see it yet go check it out. Its ridicolous good
"If you're rich when you're broke you're gonna be rich no matter what your future circumstances look like"
There's a reason JCole said "You might be Drizzy Dre or Kendrick Lamar. Check the birthday... You ain't the God".
The birthday, January 28th, represents not only JColes bday, but another older and legendary original 16-bar rapper, Rakim.
He was alluding to Rakim as well 😁
And that's why I really appreciate that song...I was born the same day...January 28 2004😊
It's Drizzy Drake LOL
Whose nickname is "The God MC"
dude really missed this line
Like the great rakim...when I make my notes
Yo, I just realized - J. Cole has called himself Young Simba his entire career, but this album is truly his Lion King. The metaphor could probably be developed more, but the parallels are there enough for it to be substantive.
There are so many lion king references on track names, bars, and videos you could talk all day about it.
The storyline, the content, the editing, everything about this video is AMAZING
Man this is the album that introduced Rap to me.
Me too!
Damn we living the same life
@@maxelvidge9671 you guys found about rap right when you were entering highschool? I did.
That is so cool to have such an album introduce you to rap. I was introduced by Eminem Rap God and then explored, but the feeling of listening to Kanye's the college dropout was what made me fall in love with this shit
@@barafow6810 I live in England so idk what age that is but I found it quite early
Watched this from start to finish. I've listened to Forest Hill Drive hundreds of times but now have a new appreciation for this album even more so
bro jake, so good, man. everything is on point.
i enjoy how vulnerable you show yourself, because that’s a rare thing these days.
peace and blessings, joseph
As much as I love the album, I never understood why Forest Hill Drive was so huge. This video is a brilliant deep dive into why. Amazing
4 your eyez only is still my favorite, I love seeing how different albums speak to different people
I cry every single time I hear 'Love Yourz' I have no idea what it is that gets triggered inside of me but, that will forever be one of my favorite songs.
This video is actually fire. I've never looked at a album to have stories and emotions, i always just thought its just music and you gotta vibe to it. This video actually fucking opened a whole new area in my brain. this video actually taught me hella shit, and your reflections section of the video is hella relatable. respect to u my guy
U should listen to Kendrick as well then trust bro it’s actual insane
Sameeee realization happened to me, it’s been the best
Breh I’m going thru depression now lost my girl of 8 years while I had to do 3months in jail for some stupid shit now my pops gone 🤦🏿♂️ This brought me back thank you 🙏🏿
Praying for you bro 🙏
@@kidforever_official update life is forever abundant last year was one of the worst of my life but I’m glad to say I love never been in a better place in my life time heals all just keep going keep being positive things change quickly

@@blankcheck31209 YESSSS God is good man stay blessed always ✊🏾🔥
Jcole is the most realest rapper I've ever seen. I'm truly grateful that i found his music.So much wisdom bruh so muchhh.
ColeWorld 👑till i die
You’re my favorite content creator when it comes to music and breaking down the albums. Keep up the good work brother, I love these in depth vids
I find myself coming back to this video every time i feel lost in life. It helps me to realign the things i value. Thank you for creating it.
I truly appreciate rappers that are clear about their word and speak properly... Kendrick Lamar j.cole and NF are my absolute favourite rappers of all time
This is one of my favorite albums of all time, excited to watch this!!!!
I Was having a horrible week but listening to this, makes me realize a lot of things, this lowkey was a whole therapy session for the problems iv been having for the past years
I'm so glad I came across this video.
This is freaking dope
So vulnerable
So real
You do great work!
These documentary exploring dept and artistry are so valuable. Keep going
When I saw the title I was expecting (hoping) the album in reference was “4 your eyez only”. 2014 was a gem nonetheless though so fair play. Superb video bro.
Yo I'm 10 minutes into the video and I just had to stop and say thank you for making these classic documentaries. I'm a big documentary fan and watching what you do is very satisfying an insightful for me. Thank you for sharing these works of art. It's really great 👍🏾.
Watching this an hour before the album drops just to set the vibe for the night..
What did you think?
this album is by far one of my favorites of all time, and you put it into a perspective that went deeper than even i fully understood. from using past experience to breaking down cole’s bars and lyrics and what they symbolized all the way to the absolutely wonderful conclusion, this analysis is a masterpiece. u did it again jake.
U talk about albums dropping at a perfect moment as if it was a gift wrapped in a bow perfectly for u tht whole opening section so far has hit me hard thank you for doing what U do my guy I really do appreciate it I’m in the lowest point I’ve been and u made me remember tht I’m not alone thnx u so much.... seriously thank u
such a masterpiece...also gets me even more hyped for the off-season
This video, is a fine exemplification of art. It's perfect. I loved j Cole's music, but after watching this, you made me realize I should love his music even more.
you're videos give off these chill vibes and are truly inspiring
I love your channel, man. Helps me out more than I could express even if I could see you face to face. THIS feels like that personal gift from time to time as well. Btw, thanks for not censuring the music.
From the beginning of this video till the end kept streams of tears in my heart, you're just to good like cole men keep it up. Love you,Love yourz.
As someone who’s been hoping for this video for the past 2/3 years, this is the happiest day of my life
A lot of this described my connection with that album... it was damn near a mystical experience for me. Thanks for sharing your perspective and appreciation ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your description of your depression episode, was perfect. I’ve never been able to express my problems quite so perfectly. I connected to that on another level. You’ve gained yourself a definite follower today my friend.
Dope work and well narrated...funny enough I've never listen to this album before, I think it's time now. Thanks again.
This video is amazing. I can tell there was a lot of time and effort put into every detail. It doesn’t go unnoticed. Keep up the good work. Subbed!
I just think you made such a beautiful video! I love Cole and his work for various reasons, but your intro explained beautifully how the deep connections are made
This video is to good, one of the few videos that i have clicked and then left with my brains blown away and my heart warm thank you so much for your hardwork
Amazing video man! Gave me nostalgia to the first time I heard FHD. My favorite album of all time and the record that got me into Hip-Hop
It's always crazy how fast the 40 mins pass! amazing
I had always loved J Cole's music. It has that something that makes you want to go back and think about your life. This video is a masterpiece, one of your best works. Keep more of them coming.
Jake your videos always end up bringing tears to my eyes man. You've been my favourite channel on youtube for years now. Thank you
youre the best i love you bro!
And J Cole just gave us another classic with The Off Season. One of the greatest rappers of all time. Great video as always too. A documentary on Dominic Fike in the future would be dope. One of the most talented artist out rn with a really interesting story
Thanks for the video Jake❤️
You described this album so perfectly. It's like you worded exactly how I feel about this album and I couldn't agree more with you. This video is a masterpiece
Wet dreamz is a banger
It's the first song that allowed me to as you said picture a movie in my head
Hey Jake, been watching your stuff for a while now. As usual amazing. This video specifically gave me goosebumps, it is really well done!!!
I must have listened to Forest Hills Drive (both studio and live versions) a hundred times by now over the past 6 years, so this one speaks to me a little bit more than most. Thanks :)
Love how you gave us a good lesson at the end of the doc. Thanks Jake
by far your best vid yet, and you've had some unreal ones
This video spoke to me. Soulr does such a good job at breaking to stuff Down, he really gets what purpose means and can grasp stories that are told. I really feel like a lot of the messages, (Cole’s messages), really relate to what I’ve been going through.
-I have my demons
-I don’t know where I’m going to be in a few years
-I’ve lost touch of my self worth and my ability to look at others with empathy.
-I may think that I’ve been following my morals, but what does that mean when your morals are wrong? what does it mean when your intentions were wrong in the first place?
-What do you want in life? Do you want to decide take risk on ideal career that may not turn out in the end? Or do you want play it “safe” and invest in an idolized office job that will at least pay the bills from day to day?
-Nobody knows it all, and nobody is all knowing except for God. Who you didn’t put enough time into, and couldn’t ever put enough time into.
-I have an Identity crisis. I spend my days trying to learn more as I dwell on the internet. I want to make my family and parents happy. I aspire to be the ideological student who works his butt off to get where he wants to be. Yet I indulge in bad and unthought habits; At least once a day, I open up CZcams to see my notifications, if any entertaining videos came out.
-Am I really thankful for the gifts I have been given? Am ignorant of my privilege, do I ever acknowledge it to god?
-I don’t know what person I will fully develop into in the future? Am I going to waste the prime of my lifetime to end up being considered a failure as I ponder on my existence? Or can I seize the opportunity to make a difference by the time I grow older?
-Being on the cusp of a “destined” fate feels very scary and drives pessimism. This negativity can only be bottled with development of confidence. It takes more to be able to release the bottle...
-Right now, as pointless as CZcams comments may be, I hope I may pushing forward my development as a person, and spreading thought provoking, but open and inspiring message.
Also I’m making this comment is to let out my thoughts and feelings; to let world know my experience.
All the while, in the back of my mind-tryin to experience a sense of approval. 🛎
This sh*t’s messed up, I really had to question myself to identify that my brain still relies on a sense of approval.
Lastly this video really inspires me to give a listen to Forrest Hills Drive. I’m already hype for the off season and the potential of Kendrick releasing his next album this year. So far I feel 2021 has been a good year for music. And interlude is an awesome preview for the greatness we consumers have the grace of listening to. You can not ask for anything more, no matter if Cole’s album goes up or down.
This.I felt that.
Good comment
Still no Kendrick album tho 😕
God this video is amazing. 2014 Forest Hills Dr. came out at such a vital time in my life and really elevated my thinking. Cole just has such an important place in my heart.
The quality of this video is incredible hats of to you man!!!
Ridiculously amazing crafted video. Props
im not huge on j cole but this video was very eye opening
Anyone else get goosebumps watching this ? 10/10 on this video for sure
i love how well done this video is, youre so passionate and it shows
Man thank you for this vid this was beautiful
I'm 2 minutes and a half into the video and I already love it so much.
Dude, I recommend your channel to every single person I meet who likes music/film. You create masterpieces every time and I click on your new videos instantly.
Keep doing you bro, you have it all!
This is truly beautiful bro. Thank you for making this man
Soulr phenomenal breakdown on a unforgettable album that is one of my favorites and listen and hear it with different ears. Thanks for sharing bro.
You are very smart for dropping this around off szn much credit
Beautiful........just beautiful
I’m such a fan on how the video was made ! You have a amazing way of breaking Down the deepest and the easy to over look details! Shout out to u and the amazing work you do sir !
I’ve been binge watching this channel all day
already know i’m gonna like this video
The fact that this video is actually free is insane! Can’t wait for the off-season🔥
Thank you for the great vid Jake I know its been In the works for some time
Man you just made me fall in love with this album for the second time
This video is an absolute masterpiece
OH SHIT ITS HERE
This was the best J Cole Documentary/Breakdown I’ve ever seen bro 😱🥺🥲 shit was BEAUTIFUL
I’m bout to subscribe right now 🙌🏾
This is the best constructed youtube video I have ever seen very inspirational and emotional!
Still his best album, better than off season
Nope 4yeo better
There are two artists who deserve more recognition. J.Cole & Kendrick Lamar. Both of them made music that resonates with everyone.
This is a beautiful video ....glad this showed up in my recommended
one of my favorite videos of yours yet, an amazing piece of art
this song "she dont want to be save" wow, it was my cry tears in forest and relief song. my respect to us all.
This video wasn’t just another great in-depth look at an artist, it’s the thought provoking discussion at the end that perfectly finished it. Another masterpiece.
I appreciate your outlook on things and how you truly dive into the core meaning being what the music really means and why’s it’s so powerful. This put a different perspective on life into my head that iv been told about previously but been to naive to listen to. Genuinely think I will carry these lessons with me close. Thank you ❤️
Bro this its pure art, Thanks for your work
Mahn I don't know who you are but this video made my day, all these days I been idolizing cole but I didn't understand half the thing he said cuz my English ain't that good
I agree bro wet dreamz is dope. Many rappers be fronting when rapping about sex often they portray themselves as a player but j. Cole keeps it real stateing how nervous he was when he lost his virginity. Many people can relate to this song and that is j. Cole' best skill is being relatable.
The time and effort is greatly appreciated. You did your thing!
2014 Forest Hill Drive grew with me as I grew older and as I began to leave school it brought me back to times when I was younger and had all the joy and time in the world
