You all are buggin' hardcore. The Album is pretty mellow dope, reminded me of Drake's first album seeing as all the beats were pretty chill slow. That line he said about the white industry in Hip-Hop in "Fire Squad" is what really got people mad and ruffled up trying to push his hype down but it was very true what he said. I think people were too busy expecting some Kendrick Lamar crazy beat type mess but still, Forest Hills Drive was something J.Cole totally would do. Especially if you've been following him since the Come Up Mixtape or The Warm up Mixtapes.... Meanwhile the simple people be bumpin' Young Thug and them, wondering when's the first week's sales are gonna be like to "determine" if it's a good album or not like this is 2006 again.
I kind of think this as an Appreciation Album with some side thoughts he always wanna spill out. I mean he literally shouted out Everyone at the end of the Album for a reason lmao.. Mad Homage to people through out the songs if you're old enough to catch the references.
Favorite songs off that Forest Hills Drive was in my order:
J.Cole - No Role Modelz (True Anti-Simp Music)
J.Cole - January 28th
J.Cole - Love Yourz (Really peep It what he's saying)
J.Cole - 03' Adolescence (Reality)
J.Cole - A Tale of 2 Cities
J.Cole - Fire Squad
J.Cole - Apparently (Obvious Reasons)
