    Best thing about Cole interviews is that he fully explains everything and goes off on tangents to make you understand his mindset

    Sat with this album for 2 days, been listening none stop... I think this one might be better than FHD.... I never understand how n----s come up with an opinion on a album soon as it drop, especially Cole s---.. I gotta sit with his s--- and listen , and take in it all.. you def can’t take it in 12 in the morning when it first drop, n----s be tired and all lol

    Nah bruh.. 95 south perfect intro... he set the tone with that one.. you know how hyped I got when I heard camron voice lol...

    But it’s weird how he said the climb back was for the fall off, but he put it on the off season.. so it makes me think was he just gon release the fall off and not the off season at one point??? And the climb back does kinda sound not meant for the album, it’s the only track with 2 long verses , the track is 5 minutes long lol, longest song on the album.. dope song tho, so it deserved an album placement

    Because I love FHD so much, it was tough for me to admit Off season is better, imo. I really liked Off season on first listen, but after a few listens, I couldn’t deny it anymore.

    I feel you on the giving review at 12 or 1 in the morning of release. But lots of random you tubers to it. Lol. Not even that, just one listen reviews, in general.

    I can only speak for myself, but this his best project since FNL. It feel like a return to form from his mixtape days.

    I pretty much agree with everything y'all been saying: no skips, I like that he had features, this is the most I've replayed a Cole album since FHD. I said earlier how I like that he's sounding more like a southern rapper. That Lil Jon sample made me so happy lol
    I love Close. Really incredible rapping on that one. The features were necessary and they held their own, no one was slacking.

    Streams don’t count for s---. Need physical copies. 10 years ago with all this hype it would’ve been over 500K.

    times not the same no more, don’t see no album doing that in 2021 , not even drake album .. I think Cole will do around 320k, I could see drake pulling in 390k when he drop . it’s mainly stream numbers now, very little physical copies. Remember the physical copies and iTunes purchase use to get added to the stream numbers, 4 your eyez only did 492k because ppl were still buying CDs back then

    I like how he got 21 , lil baby and morray on his s--- too.. bet a lot of ppl would have expected him to have a kdot or drake or cordae feature . No matter how long he was in NY, Cole is southern at heart.. .., and I love that he named a song after interstate 95 . 95 runs through my city too. Ppl from like Raleigh or Charlotte wouldn’t appreciate that like the ones that live in them cities and towns that run along 95. That’s a important highway lol

    Yeah KOD did 390k and 170k of it was physical sales. Think the Off season will probably do more streams than KOD but sell less because of the rule changes.

    Probably, especially since he's on 3 songs. But I can't take Olu's "singing", it's terrible so I don't want to hear that. Plus his brother is the label president so =nepotism
