    If you don’t like it, don’t force it. I mean, I don’t see how you don’t like it, but don’t force it.

    Some of these YouTube reviews are beyond me. Some of them will say they liked Born Sinner better.

    Off-season to me is just a 12 track version of FNL and TWU. The evolution of his song making ability while still keeping that feel of those two mixtapes that made me a fan in the first place. That's why it's my favorite Cole project since FNL.

    I feel this west coast vibe, I can see a superb storytelling of a day of a young living in california
    What could be dope is adding a little saxophone or a trombone in the back to add a lil jazzy twist to the song

    Sry cant get into 100.mill. Sounds like a middlechild part 2.
    Never listened to a Cole album this much before. Except Sideline Story but i was delusinal back then, thought Cole was god.

    I will agree that 100 mil is the "weak" track on here. I still really like it though. It's no where near as bad as Motiv8. It's not even bad tbh. But each their own.

    He’s spitting on 100 Mil. Only weak part is hook imo

    And you don’t like Motiv8?? The homage to Biggie flow on verse 2 is so dope. The weakest song on KOD to me is Photograph. It’s not bad by any means and fits the concept...

    Pitchfork 6.5/10 for Cole. Pretty standard for heem. They never completely s--- on him or give heem high praise.

    Fantano gave it a 7/10, he liked it...which is an 8 or 9 for most listeners.

    I really like 100 mil, I only use the word weak because everything else on album is better. The hook is only thing I don't like on 100 mil when he keeps saying "100 mil and still on the grind". The singing hook part I like though. And I like his verses on 100 mil.

    I just didn't care for Motiv8 on KOD.

    Honestly, I don't like either of these reviewers. I'm more interested in dehh review. I think this will be the first Cole project Myke thinks is dope, feefo will love it, Beezy will be impressed by album because of production, the hard rapping stuff. I think he will love it too because it may remind him of the mixtapes.

    That Pitchfork review is hilarious. Exactly like I said it would be.

    They left the full context out of “if you’re broke and clownin a millionaire, the joke is on you” as if he doesn’t follow it up with “money ain’t everything, I never say that....” and “nothing wrong with living check to check cuz most have to” earlier in the song...and ALSO as if Cole never released Love Yourz...they just act like he’s a snooty millionaire who doesn’t realize the struggle of everyday people

    They obviously shouldn’t have one of us or any stan doing a review.. buttttttt dudes music has touched hundreds of millions (and I’m still on my grind) of people world wide and they just look stupid. The people have spoken over and over.

    It’d be like after the Super Bowl, CBS kicking it to someone that doesn’t like football and having them give their analysis.

    I’m not sure Beezy will cuz he didn’t like Interlude. I hope Myke likes it cuz I value his opinion really high objectively lol. I know he’ll HATE 100 mil tho

    I liked the Fantano review. Thought it was totally fair and it’s clear he did many listens and dug into it.
