Thinks it's pretty safe to say he's not retiring anymore

Yeah unless I’m interrupted from listening to music during my day or if it starts on an intro that’s not a full song

Once I’m free again I’ll continue the album from where I left it

aye man, kudos to you. im skipping songs that are bad every time lol

or songs that i just genuinely dont want to hear

I listen to the album in full a few times, start skipping songs on each run until I've decided which songs I like and which I don't. Then I just keep listening/skipping those songs each time I run the album

Sometimes my taste changes and a song I previously skipped just hits me one day

same, they tried to act as if it werent normal or sumn lol

I remember the Ye and Drake fans having the "who has more female fans" argument

When did people start saying girls listen to J Cole

never met an actual ‘stan’ until i got to HS and met two girls who (till this day) love Cole

He said he’s done as an artist, he’s focusing on producing and creative direction for other artists now just emptying the catalog of unreleased music for the fans

There are some gems on this record. But have to agree that it's a conceptually weak. The Fall Off remains an interesting top level idea - unique even - but the execution antithetically translates more into a two chaptered songbook, showcasing his styles, wordplay and familiar samples. He's going back to the Ville, something he has already done (better) with FHD2014.
For someone whose career narrative is that he's chained (himself) to the idea of being a hiphop great. The Fall Off could've been a great way to combat that self mythology, but I guess i'm not hearing that besides the 'Inevitable'.
