You can definitely tell he was making songs that could fit on both albums in that time period. Makes me wonder if he was working on both at the same time
Wouldn't be surprised if 4YEO's concept came from that, they feel like companion albums in a way, with FHD being his experience and 4YEO being from his peers he grew up with. From what I've read it was recorded mostly after though, need him to break that down on the next Inevitable series if he decides to do that again.

Is it me or did anyone get the sense that Cole was depressed during 4YEO era?
It is. I stand by some sequence changing and maybe a cut or two + adding a song or two from the FHD sessions and it would’ve been a classic
Yea the only real knock is its too short and shes mine pt 1 and 2 don't really feel like full fleshed out songs so it ends up being 8 tracks

Got that feeling from Cole World to Born Sinner because he was very open about it tbh
Great song in retrospect
Rest of the album still audio nyquil though
I liked neighbors

Makes sense, the track Cole Summer comes to mind
he is so overrated as a producer
this beat is ass also

this whole ep a classic
this whole ep a classic
Okay you’re right about this.
In the minority but I think 4YEO is front to back Cole's best album
Any answer except FHD is objectively incorrect
Just find it a little humorous the same people that question why women rappers can’t operate in the same space will also act like them two can’t do the same
whole album great but super overhated for some reason
Yeah listened to it for the first time today.
J Cole’s delivery is passionate, don’t really get the boring allegations
