      rnaefaletui that's why I'm subscribed to them. No one else really tries to breakdown the lyrics and truly listen. They don't go this deep into every song. They just try and feel the vibe and don't offer any unique take even if they don't like it.

  • @robertbyrd2073
    @robertbyrd2073 Před 6 lety +201

    I swear that Once An Addict was written about me. My mother was wrecked by a breakup with my dad. Tried to take her life on my 12th Birthday. Used to sleep in her bed every night to keep an eye on her. Afraid to play outside because she’d vomit in her sleep and I’d have to turn her on her side and clean her up. My All Green was The Five Heartbeats on a constant loop. This song choked me up. Couldn’t even help myself. Damn

    I completely agree Once an Addict was one the realest songs almost felt my like my life's story. To me J.cole is like Tupac in away that you become emotionally connected to there music because you know comes from a place many can relate to. I think he's a great lyricist because he can get his point across without doing lyrical acrobatics on your head with just as much depth that's also why I hate when people say Pac not a lyricist but say he was a poet

    P.S. I don't know why, but the very first time i heard "Window Pain" I LITERALLY teared up listening to it....The way the drums hit in my headphones and the story of the little girl combined with the lyrics and flow. It was crazy.....I've gotten goosebumps from Cole before, but I never had that happen before. 😅

    4 years later… this album and he still evoke that same passion and enlightenment in me. I know y’all weren’t huge fans of KOD but that would be my only disagreement. When that song is on it still hits for me. But damn, J. Cole to me is severely underrated and undervalued in this age, when he speaks so authentically and genuinely. I’m sure that’s the reason he’s so conservative on what he puts out. He refuses to taint his name with trash. He has the platform and uses it for good.

    I just watched an hour long reaction which is unheard of especially for me, and your deconstruction of this album and the message that it conveys is mind blowing; I'm not saying this just because I'm a Cole fan but you really took the time to peel back the layers and went deep with the analysis. I think you should create your own website to rival genius lyrics (this may be a stretch though lool)... *Great Review*. It's unfortunate I can't give more than one thumbs up

  • @ahliejahh
    @ahliejahh Před 6 lety +24

    I was thinking the same thing when listening to Once An Addict. That's by far my favorite song on the album, just because of how vivid and powerful of a song it was. It almost brought me to tears because of how real it was.

  • @SonicSSpeed000

    One of the reasons why someone told me they didn't like the album was because they said that J. Cole broke his own theme with songs like Photograh; mostly because of the name of the album. My response is always: No he didn't. The last line of the of KOD set it all up. The strongest drug to be addicted to is love.
    Whether it be the love of things like money and drugs, people like women, or abstracts like fame and temptation. It's why you love those things that should be important and why you should "Choose Wisely". Are you hiding from something? Depression, your environment, or your past perhaps?
    Idk I feel like Cole has ascended to Legendary status by this point, and as such the album is gonna be a Classic, at least in my book

    Great album, "Once an addict" hit me on a very personal level too. There were some specific things he said on that track that I've gone through, it made me tear up. This whole album makes me glad there's someone like Cole not just in hip hop but in the music industry who I feel is trying to bring everyone to the table to have a conversation about their personal problems and the problems going on in the world and, like you said, is straight forward with it. Beautiful stuff man.
    And another great reaction guys! I love it when George gets on that "y'all don't even know" mode and he's trying to pause the video so he can go crazy over the song but he looks like he's having trouble pausing it 🤣🤣🤣

  • @gerridobbs9771

    First listen through I loved the album. Your guys’ review spoke my thoughts and feelings and invoked new thoughts and feelings for it and also heightened my appreciation for this album and Cole himself as an artist. I’m 20 years old and I’m thankful I listen to artists like Cole who push real, deep, content with their art. I could easily be like every other kid my age lost in trap music, drugs, trends, etc. Its albums like this (and as a nod to you guys also reviews on albums like this) that further open my eyes to more realizations in life itself and I’m thankful for that. That’s a powerful thing. Could even have more to say in this comment but overall just a good review of a good album and I’m thankful for finding your guys’ channel and subscribing. Much love, respect, and appreciation. 💯
