Hey guys! Thanks for all the support/ constructive criticism.
New video on the ATM Music Video dropping later today so make sure you’re subscribed and have those notifications on‼️💯
Ps: it’s just a theory, and this second album can just be the next album he drops, not necessarily soon.
thought nah fam intro to tha fall off mean tha beginning of the mumble rapper fall off
thought Yoooo that's crazy you were right he admitted that he is making an album called the fall off in that interview he just did. In fact he got two projects on the way. You the goat for guessing it right
how tf you make this 2 hours after the album dropped? u legend
White Rice All Day hustle my friend called hustle.
its called putting out content as fast as possible without substance
White Rice All Day right
linkoln hes saying it’s a parody of mumble rap when if you listen to the lyrics he is actually talking about the shit
Bcuz this is a bullshit ass video. All he did was state his meanings behind all the songs. And says because the last track is called an intro that another album is coming. Yea no shit another album is coming but not for another 1-2 years
Born Sinner is my absolute favorite cole album but this new album is definitely up there with it.
The Retro World deff his 2nd best album after born sinner
FHD, Born Sinner, KOD,Sideline Story................4youreyez only
Agreed! I think FHS is overrated. Before I get a ton of hate it is definitely a great album but not his best. Born Sinner just had the most creativity.
nah.. i think people call FHD overrated because it's overplayed. it's definitely his best album imo
Joriel yeah I definitely agree FHD is his best album but me personally my favorite Is 4youreyez only
He didn't diss lil pump. He gave him advice. Why do people make everything negative? Some people listen just to bash Cole, others listen for enlightenment and encouragement! I enjoyed this interpretation, thank you!
LaShonda M well said!
Nah lmao he bashed him like he don't actually know him lol
J Cole is the Lebron James of rap. No matter how much he does, people expect perfection and they hate.
Kendrick and Drake are ALLOWED to be whack (even though they’re not). J Cole is expected to be PERFECT. He doesn’t get to make an album like “More Life” or a basic song like “LOVE”
Jorge Aguilar “idiot” was kind of mean, but you’re really sensitive if you’re offended by me saying “bitch”. . J Cole is the only human I really want to meet and thank for the art he’s shared with us (the fans). I’ve looked up to him as a person and musician almost my whole life.
I’ve come to accept that he is just better than Kendrick Lamar to ME and as much as it seems like an obvious argument from my POV, other people actually think other wise. Like, no matter how much I can’t understand that, it’s a fact. So I’ll just enjoy my Dreamville and keep watching the things related to a person and topic that I admire. On the other hand, idk why you’re even here
Jalen this is why us J Cole fans get a bad rep just chill like everyone is entitled to their opinion
Jalen ok nevermind you good lol
Jalen no he is Kobe of the Rap 🎮
Jalen stop don’t wanna hear this?😴 you deadass just said cole gets no passes??
1st listen = I’m just vibing to the beats
2nd listen= I’m listening for word play and lyrics
3rd listen= I’m literally dissecting it like in this video
Every other listen = I’m just enjoying it
For real bro
Didn't we do this exact thing last year with Damn?
Yea but this one literally says “ Intro to “ The Fall Off” like what else can that mean
Damn and to pimp a butterfly are decent. This project is amazing and it’s crazy to see how Cole has changed over the years. He is getting better with age though.
lupehn DAMN is decent but To Pimp a Butterfly is a modern day masterpiece, I thought KOD was good but it doesn't have shit on TPAB
Bingo
Damn. and TPAB are amazing, KOD is great but doesn't really compare. I might compare it to Damn. content wise. Keep in mind both those albums were nominated for album of the year, so they weren't just "decent"
IMO J.Cole proved he is a mastermind and I appreciate his music more to being relatable than Kendrick’s music. #Dreamville
Facts
Don’t understand why people hate on 4YEO it is so underrated
The fall off feels like a successor to his mix tapes the the warm up, the blow up, the come up
Puddingfuzz man I hope so
Puddingfuzz I think he’s saying the track is the introduction to the fall off of the mumble rappers he’s speaking to. The beginning of their end
Puddingfuzz I said the same on twitter
Mike Turner would definitely make sense. This kind of ruined my excitement for a possible 2nd album from Cole. Thanks.. haha
Puddingfuzz - if you’re right I swear to god... how does this nigga think this far ahead?
i imagine this as album to re open doors for people who have been walking in th other direction and dont think theres a way in this hell. Its light work where J.Cole is giving this hope. I think its really him jumping back to a location where others are stuck at and is warming up or replanting this seed for others to realize there garden is fucked up. I dont think J.cole has really put out something YET since he came back from this awareness that has displayed him different. We all know cole was never a rapper abt drugs. This album is SATIRE for what is going on now. I believe by him introducing the next album on this album (which is one of th hardest tracks) is only by planting this seed. When “th fall off” drops i think he prepped everyone to expect or become ready considering his platform. He has shifted into such an artist from his original point i dont think he couldve just jumped straight to th treasure chest without prepping people for th journey// to see what he sees.
Top 3 Cole project IMO.
Baby Goat you’re fucking crazy.
Ryan Matson let him have an opinion geez
It’s not my top 3 although.. Kevin’s Heart is now in my top 10 Cole songs. I loved how he has matured but tells us his flaws in love with his wife, flaws mostly all of us men have.
2014 Fhd
Cole World
KOD
IMO
1.Forest hills
2.Friday night lights
3.KOD
Not say they're the best, but they're my favorite 😉
I dont know if there will be another now, its kind of like when kendrick dropped his album and everybody thought he was going to drop another album two days later
People start thinking out of their ass lmao
Ik but J. Cole literally said 1985 was the intro to another project
Aunt Jemima it literally says intro to The Fall Off.
How many albums have ended with an intro?
Josiah Voisin yea but I don't think the album will be comjng anytime soon
Some time in December it might drop
Jermaine is a lyrical genius... GENIUS.
When I first listened to the album I was disappointed. I felt like this isn’t the J Cole we’re used to hearing but after listening to it more and watching this video it all makes sense what message he is trying to portray and I listen to it with a different perspective and I understand it now. Great video!
Thanks man I️ appreciate it!
You just didn’t know what u was listening to talkin bout u felt disappointed.. spit so many gems on this project don’t make no sense ..u just didn’t hear em cause it wasn’t meant for u .. mfs forget how to listen to real music
if j cole took two weeks to record kod what was he doing for the past year? probably recording another album
Nathan S huge tour last year as well
Produce mad shit lol
my good sir you may be onto something
Nathan S living
“The Fall Off” sounds like an endgame project... 😩. In “For Whom the Bell Tolls” it’s like he’s saying his time is coming in the rap game regardless of his solidified spot. Then he did that verse on “Jermaine’s Interlude” talking about thoughts of retirement. Now we have an endgame sounding album coming up next. Just a thought but hopefully I’m wrong.
Success_4_Brkfst nah ur wrong u know cole will keep lecturing these new age rappers
Success_4_Brkfst idk bro the timeline is messed up somewhere. If you listen closely KOD sounds like it fits perfectly after Born Sinner cause you can hear ‘Lil Cole’ more mature on KOD. Take into account that while he was in NY around that Born Sinner era he had all the jewels and diamonds which he lowkey hated. FHD definitely was the end album IMO, and 4YEO is the “lost file” cause when Cole said “and this album remains locked in a hard drive like valuable jewels.” With the passing of his friend he HAD to drop 4YEO. But let’s backtrack a bit... Cole has a set of horns and a halo. For albums, Demon Cole gave us Born Sinner and Halo Cole gave us everything else. Demon Cole is alive and well all over KOD. Except... J. Cole placed “Mature Simba” into today’s society and it fits perfect and a bonus for Cole is that he knew/knows many people who suffered from addiction of drugs. As for now drugs are reallllllly getting outa control. He probably smoked weed before a couple times so he does have a first hand experience of being high on a level
Success_4_Brkfst cole said in verse he'll stop rapping till its nott fun again
“I’ll be around forever, my skills is tip top,” this makes me think he wants to keep going but it might just be his lagacy, I’ve also noticed all that other stuff so idk
Lonnie Gillard appreciate it man.
They said the same thing about DAMN but it didn't happen. Just enjoy this album.
StupidIsAsStupidDoe2 shut yo bitch ass up
LOVE YOUR WORK, KEEP IT COMING!
Thank you bro!!
Meditate instead of medicate
You deserve so many more subscribers
Thanks bro really appreciate it
Hope you enjoy this one guys had to grind to get it done💪🏼💪🏼
(Sorry I didn’t mention the Lil Pump Diss in the last track btw )
Good night see you all next week
thought I think he put an X diss in there as well.🙄🔥
thought bro your woke ASF i thought of all these exact things but you it out in words greatly
Thanks man appreciate it🙏
thought thought np i wish ppl were just as woke but they will just ahhh it was a trash album they dont understand they need to see this vid lol i think window pain was the best song melodys fire beat straight bars storytelling
Its not even a diss track, its a advice track
K.O.D "Kendrick Owns Drake"
jhon shebib AYEeEEEE
why does drake always gotta be involve lmao..he's really that big.. ig
“Kanye Owns Drake”
So you got all that from a quick listen through the album 2 hours after it dropped? You legend bruh.
These videos give me so many new perspectives, I love it
IMO, "The fall off" project is a mixtape and is going to be the final part to complete the trilogy of his first two mixtapes "The come up" and "The warm up". Just my theory, mightn't be true though but it'd be cool if it was I feel.
Maxxad TV That sounds logical
The come up.... The Warm Up.... THE FALL OFF.
First but it's passed my bedtime I gotta sleeps
I think youre right for sure tho. 1985 is an intro track for the next album.
I was thinking the exact same thing thinking “this can’t be it” “ it’s everything he is against”. I love the way you some this up and being a j Cole fan since 2011 I was a little disappointed with this album but now with this theory it makes me feel a little bit better about it.
And you were correct👏👏awsome
Top songs of his new album is
1. 1985
2. Photograph
3. Kevin’s heart ❤️
Still like the whole album. J. Cole 4ever
He's a renaissance man, his rap is Art. No one is artistic anymore.
Solid content brother💪🏼🙏🏼
Cole should get a Pulitzer next year for this Album. It’s so deep.
THE REAL IS BACK, THE VILLE IS BACK!!!!!!
Flow bananas here peal this bag
I think he has a documentary coming out to express his messages visually. Cole had 2 films with HBO. Maybe another titled "The Fall Off". A 2nd would be dope
Dope ass vid bro just subbed, but this is definitely coles best work yet . If he plans to drop another project that might the best .
This is literally what I said. Dude you’re spot on!
You just made me rethink his whole album😅😅
First things first you deserve waaaay more subs. I mean it bro! And second: If you are right (I hop you are) and there will come another album called "The Fall Off" then that would be a genius move from Cole.
Thanks man!!
Great synopsis of what the album was about! 👏🏾
I agree with pretty much everything you said. J Cole even purposely took their (mumble rappers) flow and used it on a song or two to make a point.
The Nike he's wearing in the ATM video are named MORE MONEY. That's slick.
you read my mind man, thought about this a day or two after the album dropped. He says "choose wisely" a lot and shows it in his music videos too. Gonna be crazy to see what he's got in store, hopefully were right!
One of the tracks is listed as an intro to "The Fall Off" which might be noted as The Fall Out, but I think that The Fall Off is something different. Either it's another project as stated here, or potentially links back to ATM, as it begins with the exact same "choose wisely" heard in the intro to The Fall Off. I just want to know what that connection would be if ATM is The Fall Off.
This is definitely Cole's best project.
Great analysis! Very interesting
“see i’ve been searching for the next wave, but never mind that was just a segue”
I think when he said intro to the fall off, he was referring to that actual intro of the album, how the voice was letting it be known to choose wisely, and how in 1985 he goes on by saying all the negative ways a rappers life can go if they continue to not give a fuck and still do the drugs they do.
Born Sinner is yet to be his best project out! No debate
Loving this video. Great job. ❤️ J. Cole is a genius of this generation.
That's a good review and I love your editing style Bro.
I believe he's just saying it's the introduction to the fall off the mumble rap and that these artist will eventually realize they need to change
This is the best project by J. Cole in my humble opinion.
1. Forest Hills Drive
2. KOD
3. Born Sinner
4. Friday Night Lights
5. Cole World
6. 4 Your Eyez Only
When it says 'intro to the fall off' on 1985, i had 2 ideas. The obvious one being another album titled the fall off. The other is that he's saying its the beginning of the fall off for new age, mainstream rappers.
The last song is an intro to another song. 2nd album has to be on the way.
1985 *(Intro to the Fall off)* so yea the next project probably will be "Intro to the Fall off"
You are a mature ass 15 year old. Props
Bluespoose thanks man I️ appreciate that a lot
I love what u doing man keep it going 💯💯
I feel like the last track is an intro to the actual fall off of these rappers and the trends they are using. I feel like he is more giving advice and not hinting at a new project. I feel this way because I feel like 1985 is more him just putting his arm around all of these young rappers and telling them what he thinks is going to happen. Of course I hope I am wrong and another Cole album is on the way because who wouldn’t want that but I don’t know where he would go with that intro as far as an album goes. I feel like the only direction he could go based off the last track is right back into the same album. I just think the subject he could address are already in this album. My opinion
We predicted Kendrick would drop a new album a couple DAYS after he released DAMN. We were wrong. Don’t get your hopes up.
i actually think the "second album" is KOD backwards. That way it plays like a foreshadow starting with 1985. Playing it forward plays like looking back from where he is now.
Isn't it obvious? I mean, Window Pain is the "outro" of the album, while 1985 is the "intro" to the next stage.
However, it might be just the name to say that this track's just the beginning of the fall off after being overdosed and escaping reality.
They say this shit about every hyped album
Knowledge Over Destiny
My theory is that "1985 - Intro to the Falloff" perfectly flows into 2014 Forest Hills Drive "Intro" & "January 28th" with identical symbols like the 'king'/'we're all kings' & about 'medicine' 'women' 'money'...
No follow up album to this one.
My opinion, "Intro to the Fall Off" is just another jab at the rappers he is talking to in the song 1985. He is introducing them to where they will Fall Off and fail. Might not mean another new album despite me wanting that to be the case.
Yessssss!🙏✨
4YEO and Friday night lights are still his best work to me, but i fuck super heavy with KOD
Wonderfully said
JCole is incredible in so many ways
Bruh.. I love yout video! how you "call" that transitions 0:49
Not falling into this second album coming soon shit. Remember thinking there was gonna be a blue album following Kendrick’s damn. Can’t remember the name that people gave that blue album
Dope album but nah he ain’t dropping another one any time soon
I don’t think the fall off is an entirely new project. I believe it’s actually another diss at the new age rappers. Meaning that it’s the intro to “the fall off” of mumble rap.
I just subscribed bro good video keep making videos thanks
Cole is dropping an album most likely during the Fall, yall remember this comment
OK FAM, I listen to J Cole and review his new album. Not only is it 🔥but is it me but have J cole have become the New Moses's of Hip Hop ? The bars are like insane !!! He is spitting 🔥 all over this album. #JCOLEAGODMIC ! NOT ONLY DID HE DELIVER AS A ARTIST, BUT HE ABOUT TO SET A NEW GENERATION FREE IN ALL HIS MASSAGES.
He is dropping another album u making this difficult they announced it 1985 is a intro to his next album
source?
samko his Fucken Twitter
Great vid
good stuff, new sub
What did you guys think about that Charles Dickens reference one the album art?
I remember when Damn dropped Kendrick said it was rushed. So nigga was like what?? Is there more?? Cole is acting the same way but he actually might drop. I feel like when Damn dropped it did so well TDE was able to focus on other projects.
Maaannn, I really want J cole on trap beats and everyone else does too, but its gonna be that conscious J cole and not whats gonna get him “poppin” like kendrick did with the black panther album and new freezer track.. ULTIMATELY he’s getting over his addiction for POWER
But the follow up album will be a more ‘mellow’ beat album which won’t get him more numbers and might make him “Fall off” but instead of adapting, he’s staying true to himself.
If you search on TIDAL for "kiLL Edward" an actual artist pages comes up so I'm thinking he's gonna drop a whole album as "kiLL Edward"
Maybe a mixtape ? Get that old “Friday Night Lights” Cole back
Number 4 project
1. 2014 FH
2.The Warm Up
3. FNL
This was great
Absolutely magical
I personally think the “The Fall Off” is referring to maybe like the beginning of lil pumps career or whoever he was “dissing” because he mentions how in 5 years he’s gonna flop but I could be wrong
Beginning of end*
Not gonna lie I feel like I'm the only who the that 1985- Intro to "The Fall Off" was also meant to mean the fall off of mumble rap and rappers
There will be another album. He tweeted it replying to a question
Intro to the fall off is referring to the fall off the rappers he is talking about not another project imo
Yeah intro to the falloff is a dead giveaway it seems.
im very impressed, good work.
By the intro to the fall off aka the fall off of said mumble rappers careers. Not intro to a 2nd album...
Go look on his twitter account. This whole album is an interlude to the real album. He was working on another and stopped for 6 months to do this one, but only took 2 weeks to really do and finalize. Also, read the article in Vulture that tells all about this one. The real album is coming, but he is not finished with it. It probably will be out the end of the year.
ill look into it! shit im always down for more cole music
Ain’t no second album coming people said the same about Kendrick and I got my hopes up
Artists like cole and Kendrick tend to take a year or two before dropping another album so when do you think this second album could drop if it does?
Another J. Cole album just sounds too good to be true.
Mmmmhhg maybe, but the fall off could be represented as the fall off of mumble rappers. I remember people did this claim that damn was “part one” of a two part album, and that Kendrick was going to release an album a week after damn ( or three days after, I forgot) but we got all our hopes up for nothing, having us criticized the length and passion of the album just to have it be a single album on its own.
