from a light 6 to a decent 6, that's what we call evolution đ

Obviously Iâm far from the first person to point out how badly the Jada and Will lyric aged but itâs so poetically ironic that in his song about how all these LA celebrities are so fake not once does it occur to him that maybe their relationship wasnât as happy as it seemed. It both negates and proves his point

Anthony why are you going back there? The family that lives on 2014 Forrest Hills Drive has made it very clear they want you to stop coming around uninvited.

Clearly you're taking Kendrick's side in the beef, but you didn't have to doxx Cole like that and put his adress out there

Him accepting âWet Dreamzâ was the last thing I was expecting him to do.

Iâd love to see more of these âredux reviewâ type videos on this channel. No score, no hyper analysis, just talking about an album you previously reviewed and talking about how you feel now. Itâs nice to hear how your thoughts change on records over time, maybe you pick up on something, or maybe something grows off of you. Obviously you canât do this for every record, but doing it for records that you feel like giving another test or records that have a controversial score would be great. Something I would love to see for the next one would be a more direct comparison to your review. Maybe when you have a noticeable change in your opinion of a song, or maybe itâs aged in a weird way, it would be cool to see what exactly you said before, so we can get a more direct compare and contrast of whatâs changed or how your taste has differed. Either way I enjoyed seeing this and hope to see more in the future.

To me itâs a solid hip-hop record with somewhat bland production but some great iconic bangers too. It drives me crazy though because people legitimately talk like it one of the greatest rap albums ever when it is just no where near that. I can only imagine itâs because people want to pretend that Cole has a classic rap album under his belt when he doesnât⌠I think his best is yet to come.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the biggest reason why this album was popular - it was meant for people in high school in 2014. If you listened to this album in your later 20s, 30s, and so on, it wouldn't resonate with you. Of course as J Cole has matured, he has made more mature music that better resonates with Fantano. My only issue is that I wish Fantano would recognize that while he tries to come across as someone impartial to records, he really has much more personal bias towards the way music should sound than he explains in his videos.

I agree the âLove Yourzâ contains some contradictions but given this album is abt his journey through life I think those clashing view points represent a shift in his perspective as he got older. Context is also important. In â03 adolescencesâ is more abt the advice he is receiving based on where he is at maturity wise. Conversely âlove yourzâ seems more like him giving advice to ppl who are unable to appreciate the greatness they are already surrounded by.

I was def curious on your take on Love Yourz. While I can see where you can get the idea of it being tone deaf, but at the same time I think the point he was trying to drive home in the track is a concept that I've come across many times in therapy is not comparing yourself to others and appreciating what you have is a driving force for mental wellness, and in a genre that glorifies materialism to the point that this comes across as tone deaf speaks to how against the grain this track is. I feel like, you underscore songs with these themes more often than not. Good music touches the soul.
Also, yeah he had a really hard time staying on subject and prob fumbled a ton of classics that way.

I don't know why but I have never an intense desire to return to J.Cole's music. I'm saying this as somebody who listenened to him quite a bit in the beginning of his emergence.

Love that the thing that ties Fantano and NorthernLion together is that they are both bald white dudes with glasses

Lets see what innovative ways Fantano can hate on Cole this time

Doing this whole video just to have the same opinion from 10 years ago is hilarious
