#RETURNOFJBTHEORIES

first off what i realized is even though i still feel a couple more songs wouldn't hurt, the more i listen I'm able to connect the dots better now and feel the album doesn't NEED more songs ... its tough to structure this post because theres a lot of intersecting ideas and multiple scenarios for each song and s--- and of course the two perspective thing (cole and the street guy) but ima try my best lol ...

i dont think the story is 100% chronological as i will explain more later but if we look at the album in the order which it it to me the theme goes like this

for whom the bell tolls:
-cole is depressed as usual lol
-Street guy: describing the premonitions of his death which made him call cole and of course the whole exchange is described on 4 your eyez only

-definitely not the first part of the story chronologically but a good way to open the album theme ... chronologically tho this comes right before title track as mentioned

immortal: (chronologically this is really the first part that sets the stage of the life that the street guy is living and the mentality that he has)
-right after the person being scared of their death (whether cole or street guy) we see the juxtaposition of a street n----- saying real n----s don’t die
-for coles perspective theres the whole thing about whether or not he will live forever through his music, again cool juxtaposition here of an “immortal” street guy and cole contemplating becoming “immortal” through music

deja vu: just sort of sets the stage further, there is where the two perspective thing really becomes tricky to me because theres nothing to hint at exactly whos perspective this if from, theres really three possible stories here imo ...
1. either this is just the story of how the street guy meets his baby mama, and him saying “she f--- with small town n----- i got bigger dreams” is him saying her current man is just a regular dude in a small town with a "clean" 9-5 job and he got bigger dreams cause hes dealing drugs and trying to make mad money
2. this is where s--- gets more real ... maybe this is cole saying the d--- dealing dude who she is already with is the one with a “small town mentality” and cole has a bigger dream to make it out of the hood with music ... even though hes boys with the street guy deep down he knows hes not living a “positive” life and wants the girl to be supported by something better ... the thing that supports this is the “although i know your man and trust me he would die for ya” ... shows the person who’s perspective the story is from is pretty close with whoever the girl is currently with (cole and the street guy maybe) ... its possible that even tho cole is boys with the street dude he was still crushing on his girl (of course this is back when they were kids so thats what makes it so interesting, because cole still ended up being the dude who this guy called when he was having premonitions of his death) ...
either way this is definitely a flashback to when cole and the street dude were adolescents in the hood and presumably recounting the story of how both one of the characters met the girl of shes mine and the mother of the daughter in shes mine part 2
3. maybe this can even be a future story of someone trying to get with the street guys daughter when she has grown up but thats a classic JB reach lol, had to throw one of those in there

ville mentality:
this one is pretty straightforward how its from both perspectives
-for the street guy hes stuck with the ville mentality of dealing drugs/living the street life to make it, i love how the “n----- play me never, give up my chain never” coming right after the young girl talking, not sure if u all caught that but its him saying the street mentality where you never “give up your pride” is equivalent to acting like a child ... the way he delivers these lines makes that clear as well
-for cole its just about the small town mentality that makes him not know how to deal with the fame and makes him want to disappear
-of course also introduces the concept of a fatherless daughter with the skit ... another comment on the destructive cycle ... is this the daughter who the album is about, is it a flashback to that daughters mother who the figure met in deja vu and who shes mine is about who also didnt have a father herself? is it just “another” unknown fatherless daughter? ...

She’s mine Part 1:
again obvious how its from both perspectives
-the street guy doesn’t want to die anymore and maybe wants to change his street life ways because he is in love
-cole just about his girl

Change:
-as i said the girl makes the street guy wants to change his ways
-for cole its just a commentary on how the cycle has to change

-The skit is where the whole chronological order of the album comes into question ... to me it is the clear climax of the album ... similarly to the other skit (the girl on ville mentality) either it is just “another” unknown black 22 year old who has been gunned down ... or it is actually coles friend who the album is about ... so then you would have to ask why that skit would get placed in the middle of the album ?

-well to me this is the true story of how the guy who the album is about actually died, whether it actually happened in reality or it is just a story which cole is telling this is how i understand the situation - coles friend who the album is actually about, had a daughter at 19 as told in title track, and around the time he was 22 started having premonitions of his own death so had the whole exchange rapped about in 4 your eyez only with cole ... cole himself was in the process of trying to make it as a rapper at this time, if was also 22 himself then cole was in new york trying to make it, but no matter what they key is he definitely hadn't blown up yet ... so cole was gone from the ville, hadnt blown up yet, but of course coles friend knew cole was a rapper and had faith cole would make it, which is why he chose him as the one to tell the story ... the fact that cole has rapped "playing daddy to another n----s daughter" on a song before makes you wonder if this whole situation is actually true, and if all this time cole was just trying to wait for the right time to get a platform like this to tell this true story ...

- from this point that is why it makes sense for it to be largely from cole's perspective, although i believe both perspectives are still largely reflected as you will see ...

Neighbors:
-as i said the placement of this song here after change and the skit is crucial
-going by my theory, if you look at the album chronologically at this point the street guy is deceased ... so thats why if you see the songs from this point forward as being from only cole’s perspective it makes sense because the street guy is dead now ... but imo you could still argue its from both perspectives ... for cole the fact that he has made it without ever selling drugs but still having his neighbours think hes selling dope reflects the fact that even when you have changed as a person and made it, society as a whole still hasnt changed and just reflects upon you racist stereotypes ... so it makes you question why you should change (tying back to the previous song of course) ...
-for the street guy his perspective comes into play with the “MFer i am” part ... whether that be a flashback for when he was alive actually selling dope or just cole bringing in that line as an ode to his now deceased friend ... either way even if none of the lines are actually from the street guys perspective it still reflects his perspective, because its cole saying even tho he has made it and never dealt drugs himself, to the racist side of society he is no different than his friend who was actually dealing drugs way back when, when he was alive

Foldin Clothes:
-mainly from coles perspective as being a “depressed star” who realized there is joy in the simple things
-also again can be a “flashback” perspective for the street guy who is now deceased if we go by my chronological order of the album ... its just cole reflecting on a situation which the street guy MIGHT have had with his girl ... for a moment not acting tough and just “folding clothes” with his girl ... this theory is backed up by that last verse on the song which essentially covers this exact thing really well ("acting hard" in all facets of life)

Shes Mine part 2:
-could be another flashback to the street guy and the joy he felt when his daughter (who the album is obviously about) was born
-of course the thing which makes this song the craziest is the rumors that cole just had a daughter himself so obviously its relevant for him and he was drawing upon that emotion to make the song

4 Your Eyez Only - nothing needs to be explained here, brings everything together

so basically (my best shot at it chronologically): street guy just living his life thinking he is untouchable because even if you die living the street life you will be immortal, then he meets a girl in deja vu so he questions how long he can live with the ville mentality, then you just go through the whole rest of the process ... the girl becomes his (she's mine part 1), even though hes still selling dope (neighbours) he “drops the tough guy” s--- and starts doing domestic things with the girl like folding clothes together ... they have a baby who of course is the girl who the album is about and really makes him want to change his ways (she's mine part 2) ... but then he starts having the premonitions of his death which is “for whom the bell tolls” and he knows its too late for him to try to change so he calls cole to make this album for his daughter, and then of course out of that we get “4 your eyez only” ... change is really the last song chronologically because at the end of it is the recounting of the character's death and in this song it is a larger commentary of cole questioning this whole cycle and saying s--- has to change

... to me thats the dopest part: to imagine change being the last song along with that ending skit, and also why i said change is the climax of the album ... although the placement is perfect in the middle considering its the climax, and of course 4 your eyes only has to be last ... from coles perspective making the album, imagine if this truly was a true situation that happened to cole, and then putting in that skit recounting the friends death, after all those years of saving this story for the right platform, i can't even really put into words what that must feel like ... listen to change again with that perspective, imagine the whole story is true and the ending skit is coles true recounting of his friend's death way back when they were kids (22) and this same friend had previously called him with premonitions of his own death as recounted in the title track

its kind of like carlito’s way if any of you have seen it, where the street guy wanted to change his ways, in the case of the album for his girl and then even more when he had his daughter, but before it was too late he started having premonitions of his death

Lil Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant, stopped by the Rap Radar podcast and spoke at length about the issues with Cash Money Records for the first time, revealing that Tha Carter V was actually supposed to drop on Google for free, but the deal was killed by label founder's Birdman and Slim.

"We were ready to put our Carter V. We put out 'Believe Me' as a single before we put out the record… it's never been a situation [with Cash Money] where I would have to worry about anything financial. They were great with the checks because we'd come with a plan, I'd lay it out to them, they cut the check...This time, once we put it out, the check didn't come."



According to Cortez, they had negotiated a deal with Google after "Believe Me" became a hit single. "We had a deal cut with Google where they were going to back the album and put it out for free. When I presented it to Slim and Baby, they didn't get it and the label was against it," admitted Cortez, who says the pair didn't get what it meant to stream the album."They basically told me 'Yo, we can't put the album out.' When I had to tell Wayne that, he was like 'What? You can't stop me, you can't hold me back. I got to tell my fans because they don't deserve this and I'm 'bout to air it out. Before I got off the phone to call his lawyer to let him know we was about to have some s---, TMZ was on the other line."

From there, things escalated quickly as fans called on Birdman to "free Wayne" and Wayne released Free Weezy exclusively on Tidal and other streaming services. For Cortez's part, he lays out his thoughts on the situation clearly, explaining that he thinks the label got stuck in a bad way where they had potentially played with too much of the money and didn't have the funds to pay their hugely successful artists when it came time. Watch Cortez's full interview above.

The lyrics :

[Intro: Kenny Powers Skit]

[Verse 1]
My condolences, my condolences
Whole family in mourning send my condolences
My condolences, crazy I just spoke to him
Courtney dropping drinks all in Hooters
She losin' focus s---
Don't send a text, I don't care y'all mad
s---, I waited 5 days n----- where y'all at?
For real, I'm calling Stunna
Cause all Summer 16, ain't heard a hot 16 'bout all Summer
Awareness is high, say attention I'm seeking
Since I'm reaching, it's offensive they're convinced I'm a demon
Such a thin disagreement, son my kin for a reason
Killing you is expected of me, I don't win an achievement
Somebody pinch me I'm dreaming, take this mental reprieving
Since I know the n-----, I know this ain't the man that I'm seein'
I heard it straight from the 'Bama's mouth, he won't pull a hammer out
Wasn't you at Hov's show scared to pull the camera out?
I'm seeing habits switch, magic tricks
You froggy behind that Apple fix
The passiveness in your manor I might react to it
Automatic s---
Ratchet kids at your crib that can't even spell Calabasas b----
So I take all the guns, load half the clips
I just notice you run, we mention half of Clipse
I'll save that for another time I'll get back to it
I'm kinda shocked to look at what we've advanced to
Knew it'd get you dismantled, knew the issues I ran through
Sick of the scandal, or maybe I just misunderstand you
I kept it a buck, thought that, that was s--- you could handle
You said that you wondered if anything you doin' was brand new, right?
I got him, no one help, father punch below the belt
Introspection means dig deep, let's look below the wealth
I wanna know myself
How you tell b------s know they self
When you don't even know yourself?
You wouldn't know yourself
Say he Canadian, maybe Asian, Croatian
Be sounding like his Jamaican friends, depend on what state he in
I think you rap good, but you a movie star
So that owl's appropriate, we don't know who you are
Where did the boy's brain change? Was it the club scene?
Now you sound like you use people and love things
But later for how you use people and love things
The entendres that upswing when I call you drug king
That record contract, leaves a lot to exam
Never dealt drugs in his life, but sold a lotta gram
That's too much baking soda, good thing my break is over
They thinking cause my paper lower, this for Rage to blow up
Or maybe they just woke up
You leverage your celeb, taking waves over
That's territorial takeover
Maybe he thinks nobody notices
Gucci wasn't home two seconds before you rode his d-ck
Bodied Versace flows, copy, that he stole
Ay dios mio, sorry Migos, adios amigo
Was that your plot all along?
Why you ain't do that vid with Fetty but you hopped on the song?
No really, we want a Party album
But you keep stealing all of Party's album
To go and put it on your party album
It's plenty reason to slay you
Kept going up Tuesday's and now The Weeknd just hates you
Are you lifeless? Sound like a zombie on the track
Remember "Started From the Bottom," it was Zombie on the Track
Know who else started from the bottom? Zombie on the Track
How come after that joint I don't see Zombie on a track?
I'm from Jersey, so Zombie I got your back
Be alarmed the real is finally back
Get your guard up now, hope your heart up now
Battery in him, let's see if he get charged up now
I'm wake

be honest with yourself

Ab soul completely fell off the map after control system which i didnt really think was that great anyway

Q was never really good tbh, he has a few songs but they mostly good cause of the beat. Can't really be honest with myself calling him a good rapper.

Jay rock is horrible, stop lying to yourself 90059 is one of the most disappointing albums ever, follow me home has 4 good songs.

isaiah is boring nobody give af about him tbh

sza generic af

lance skiiwalker is the worst thing to happen to music



Kendrick is honestly the only one still doing good in tde, the mans carrying a label

I don't rank albums 1-10 either cause that s--- is played out

Shadow of a Doubt


What I liked

To me the first track is f---ing everything, if I press play and the first 2 minutes of the album sounds trash I’m honestly going to assume the rest of the album is trash. Lucky for Freddie Gibbs he put together a pretty solid intro. The dark pad with the quiet choir in the background leads into Freddie Gibbs deeps a--- voice shouting “I bet you got it twisted, you don’t know who to trust, So many playa-hatin n----s tryna sound like us” This n----- got the best rap voice in the game holy s--- and the songs after this intro just get better and better, f---in up the count SOTY.

What I disliked

Freddie Singing. Come on Freddie yous a gangsta you can’t be out here looking like some light skinned n-----. He didn’t sing a lot through the album but that hook on “Lately” was just terrible. Even worse the song that I didn’t enjoy lead to the worst song of the album “Basketball wives”. Two bad songs playing back to back is the worst thing that can happen when listening to an album.

ALLA


What I liked

Bruh, this album is A E S T H E T I C as f---. L$D will make a Christian want to do drugs. Production on this album is f---ing magnificent and even the album art is A1. Oh and the intro here is real, very very real. There is not one moment that upset me whilst listening to this album, Track 1 to 18 is drugs for your ears. We should have known Rocky was bout to drop some art as soon as he dropped that L$D video. Wavybone SOTY.

What I disliked

Lil Wayne spitting verse of the year on this album then dropping FWA

90059


What I Liked

“90059 be the zip” into “I’m straight up out that East side, swinging like zip lines” That delivery when the beat switched at the beginning was f---ing gorgeous. 90059 goes against everything I expected with Jay Rock. I was expecting songs more similar to Parental Advisory or songs like Elbows from Follow Me Home. Instead we get songs with relaxing production like Gumbo and Jay Rock spitting over it effortlessly. SZA also gets feature of the year just because her voice is the best thing to ever happen to the human race. Gumbo SOTY

What I disliked

Isaiah Rashad not spitting a verse
Jay Rock dropping an album before Isaiah Rashad
Parental Advisory not being on the album.

Real s---, what I actually hated was Macy Gray on the hook off Fly on the Wall. When the album originally released Macy Gray was NOT on the hook. For some strange reason I went to sleep and when I woke up iTunes updated my “Fly on the wall song” and suddenly there is someone singing on the hook. Come on iTunes I can’t co-sign this s---.

Rodeo


What I liked

“At that moment, the one known as Jacques turned to Scott. Chose to jump off his mama porch and lead the stampede of lost souls.” Bruh this intro is f---ing gold I should have chosen Travi$ to write the bible real talk. Travi$ never impressed me with his lyrics but the production on this is amazing, and Travi$ can make some soulful s--- like the song“Oh My Dis Side”. Oh Myy this song is f---ing beautiful. That beat switch up is everything and Quavo killed this s---, I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else on the track, those “Woah” ad libs alone make this song better than 90% of what came out this year. Pray 4 Love SOTY.
“Graduated from the midget (Woah)
This the life I was living (Woahh)
Graduated to a million (Woahhhh)
It’s the money that I’m getting (Woahhhh)”

If you don’t know Rodeo In Stores Now

What I disliked

The album cover
Travi$ being disrespectful to his mother.
“Told momma, “b---- get back in the door!”
Come on b, I can’t co-sign this s---.

DS2


What I liked

I don’t know much about drugs bout I’m pretty sure seeing codeine when you urinate is a sign that yous a super saiyan drug addict. Ain’t got much to say about this album. Future raps about the lifestyle that he lives. The opening track “Thought it was a drought” is the best start to an album you will ever hear this year. It sets the tone for the whole album “They don’t like it when you telling the truth I rather be realer then you” this is what the album is about. Future being 100 with himself. If you like “Real Rap” then this aint for you, Future the type of n----- to serve his auntie that raw. Kno The Meaning SOTY.

What I disliked

Drake
Future co-signing Blac Chyna
Future constantly giving Ciara shoutouts and free promo.

TPAB


What I liked

What should I say about this album that you haven’t heard before? It’s a good album b, you can miss me with that “replay value” s---. I mean I don’t know much about instruments but whatever they used in that intro track I f---s with heavy. I mean you might tell me this album is boring but you can’t tell me this album ain’t important to this generation. This album is going to be remembered for a long a--- time whether you like it or not. Obama f---s with the album so why don’t you p----. Momma SOTY.

What I disliked

Kendrick not answering Wale’s calls after the nominations

Ballin Like Im Kobe

What I liked

G Herbo sounds hungry as f--- on every track and is probably one of the best drill artists in the game right now. He delivers on every track and if you’re into drill rap and want to hear someone more lyrical then Herbo is exactly what you want to hear. Herbo ain’t a boring rapper either you can really feel the pain in his voice when he speaks.

What I disliked

--

Darkest Before Dawn


What I liked

Everything is Pusha T. Pusha T got a whole bible that’s filled with coke metaphors; I know this because I gave it to him. Pusha T is a problem. Darkest Before Dawn is a gloomy album the intro is f---ing fire and there is a quotable in every song of this album. The song M.P.A has probably the best hook of the year, I can’t tell if its A$AP or Ye but its smooth af and J Cole? Man this is probably the best thing J Cole has ever done in his life. Pusha T don’t sing hooks he a trap n----- and the whole industry scared of him. Why you think Drake lets Pusha b---- him like that.

What I disliked

Anything that don’t involve Pusha T
Sunshine was a good song but Push was just rapping about drug money a few minutes ago and now is on some conscious s---, the transition between FIFA and Sunshine is just a bit odd to me.

IDLSIDGO


What I liked

Earl is a complicated rapper and sometimes what comes out of his mouth might not even make sense until you play it back 6 times. Actually first time I played this album I thought it was just average, few months later I’m hearing s--- I didn’t hear before. There ain’t many features on this album but then again this album is pretty short, the most notable feature was Vince Staples where he just went the f--- off, “Wool” is probably my favourite song off the album just because Earl x Vince Staples chemistry >
This album just has a depressing atmosphere it’s food for thoughts if anything else; this isn’t something you put on when you are with your friends.

What I disliked

Wanted the album to be longer

Summertime 06


What I liked

“From the city where the skinny carry strong heat Northside long beach NORTHSIDE LONG BEACH” Summertime 06 is a double disc album. Double disc albums ain’t supposed to sound like this. The production here by No I.D. is incredible and the message that Vince Staples was portraying was received loud and clear. There are a few short songs in this album such as “Birds & Bees” where he only spat one verse but it’s probably my favourite song from the year. “Bandana Brown my skin is brown I’m fighting with the law” Vince staples flows on this beat so effortlessly he made that beat a work of art. “You wit the s--- getcho feet wet with the sharks” Also before I finish this I HAVE to mention the 2nd verse from Street punks

“I don't know if ya heard of me
But you heard them shots on the block, it's a murder scene
Go on call the cops, open heart, durin' surgery
Now his breathing stopped, stupid n----s should of knew we tripping”

Bruh… I know I probably named about 5 SOTYs so far but this, this s--- right here just disrespectful af; SOTY

What I disliked

Waiting for another Vince Staples album
The interludes + Might be wrong = 6 MINUTES OF VINCE NOT RAPPING.
