    When KOD dropped I was 13yrs old and didn't get it what Cole was saying. I was seeing what he was saying in real life, hearing but not listening. I'm 18 now and when I listen to it my perspective and understanding of what he's saying and what I was really seeing was an eye-opening moment fr

    1985 is a masterclass example of someone being like “I am not even going to dignify what you are saying with a response” while simultaneously letting them know you could end their career with ONE interview. He literally told Pump “ruining you is not worth my time” 😂

    Most underrated cole album imo...will take this over The Off Season all day

    • @dylanwatt7461
      @dylanwatt7461 Před rokem +5

      i love cole but this is insane.
      the off season isn't as strong as KOD thematically - but the production is absurdly better and the vocals, especially from Morray, Bas and 6lack, are much better than on KOD.
      I can do a tracklist comparison: doing it not in order, but by order of best to worst songs from each album. that way there are no david/goliath matchups.
      TOS KOD
      1. The Climb Back > 1. Window Pain
      2. Let go my Hand < 2. Once an Addict
      3. Hunger on Hillside > 3. Brackets
      4. Close > 4. Friends
      5. Interlude < 5. ATM
      6. Amari < 6. Kevin's Heart
      7. My Life > 7. Photograph
      8. Pride is the Devil > 8. Motiv8
      9.100 Mil > 9. The Cut Off
      10. Applying Pressure > 10. 1985
      11. Punchin the Clock > 11. Intro
      12. 95 South > 12. KOD
      The top 6 are relatively balanced. After that, KOD expriences a sheer drop in quality that The Off Season just . . . doesn't. I find that 9-12 on KOD are just extremely difficult to listen to, epsiecally KOD. The Off Season just feels more complete because you can still listen to the thing without wanting to skip half the songs. Part of the reason KOD is so hated on despite is being a solid album is because it's notably worse than 4YEO, which is probably Cole's best work to dedicated fans.

    • @monfernova
      @monfernova Před rokem +1

      @@dylanwatt7461 Thanks for the comparison above - but even that is subjective, you have Punchin the clock at 11 when it is my favourite off that project. Appreciate your reasoning though, and yeah 4YEO is my favourite Cole project too. I heavily look for thematicism over most other factors when it comes to musical projects.

    • @monfernova
      @monfernova Před rokem

      For clarity, I would give KOD a strong 8 and TOS a weak 8, they aren't leagues apart so my bad if that's how it came across.

    Kill Edward is in reference to Coles' stepfather, I believe. His name was Edward and he had a horrible relationship with him. The Cut Off does reference it subtly, too. But that also why Kill Our Demons is a theme as he needs to grow from it
    Edit: Also talks about in Window Pain I believe "all I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry"

I see your father’s growth from the black album where he was almost clueless to now being very in tune. It’s awesome to see that being a hip hop fan.

    Kill Edward is based off his step father Edward, who was mildly abusive to him, his brother, and mom and then left their mom when he grew up. But this was the only father figure he had growing up, who showed him rap like Tupac and biggie. So he as much as he resents Edward he also thanks him for that. But in therapy, they say to kill your ego or traumatic experience, hence kill Edward, which personifies all his trouble and traumas during his up bringing. I put it together on my own, and then cole confirmed it during an interview
