Dope article and confirms what we’ve been speculating about the concept of the album and the motivation behind it.

You guys think it’s possible that Pharrell is on this? They made a point to include that in a 12-minute doc when they had hours and hours of footage to use. They also sanctioned that Cole/Neptune’s mashup last year.

He said, “The first time I worked with Pharrell.” Which is obviously when they worked together around Sideline Story. So they’ve worked together since but where’s the songs?????

If 1da is on this and probably Timbaland. Not a stretch to think P is on it too.

First I gotta get a Cole jersey, now I gotta get a SLAM magazine issue

I don’t think we get A list rap features on this. (Drake, Ken, Hov, 3stacks etc) it’ll most likely be home team and the 21’s and Cordaes of the world. Saving the best of the best for the Fall Off

I got a feeling Cole gonna do the hidden features thing like Travis Scott did on AstroWorld

So I ask: It feels very much like you’re planning your 60-point game, and then walking off into the locker room and…
‍
“Oh, bro, I’m super comfortable with the potential of being done with this s---. But I’m never going to say, Oh, this is my last album.”
‍
You can’t.
‍
“Yeah, exactly. Because I never know how I’m going to feel two years, three years, four years down the line, 10 years down the line, but please believe, I’m doing all this work for a reason.”
‍
For him, it’s less about announcing a confirmed retirement and more about pushing himself. Making himself uncomfortable. Playing until the proverbial buzzer stops.
‍
“I’m doing all this work to be at peace with, If I never did another album, I’m cool. That’s the reason for all of this, so I know that I put everything on the table. I left everything on the table, and I’m good with that. Because there’s a lot of s--- I want to do with my life and in my life that, because I have such an intense love and passion for the craft, if I don’t let that go, I’m not going to be able to get to these other things that I also want to learn and grow and be good at.

“So it’s like, No, let me get everything out on this craft, to where I feel at peace. And then, guess what? If I’m inspired and I feel like doing it again, cool. But if not, I know I left it all on the table.”



Sounds like the man isn't retiring but more of a break after the fall-off and it makes sense. Man is pushing 40 probably after that album.

Let me throw the Cole voice on for a second..

“Bro, you gonna be signed to the Roc, and go through all that bs at the beginning of your career, and the only track you ever got Hov on was f---in Mr Nice Watch?”

“Bro, you thought you was gonna make an album with Dot. Hoarded the tracks you did and only ever got him on the chorus of a couple songs?”

“Bro, your literally friends with Drake. This dude bought you a f---ing Rolex. And the only thing I ever put out was an old track the label made me put on the album.”

“I had to ask myself.. are you cool with that??”


Edit: dude I swear, “I had to ask myself, are you cool with that??” Is the new Jordan “and I took that personally.”

Bet you think I be lying bout a lot of s---, I don’t be lying bout nothing stg lmfaoooo

Track list dropping tomorrow I would assume or tonight. Tbh I wouldn’t care if its no features, hopefully it’s maybe just 2, or one, knowing Cole, if it is features on there it’ll be limited, kinda like the mixtapes were .. I listen to Cole for Cole. He don’t even make the type of music where I listen and be like oh , so and so should’ve been on here. Only the hooks is where I be seeing features on cole’s s---. I would be Cool with a feature from 21 and cordae if the rumors are true, I’m still trying to figure out where In the doc he mentioned cordae being on the album tho, I must’ve missed that part lol. some outside production? Yes, but you already know cole gon have his hands in majority of the beats. It’s only right.. Cole production is underrated to me, he better than a lot of these n----s right now.

 

May 11, 2021

I pretty much agree with all of this. Only reason I want some features this time around is for the novelty of it. It would definitely help round out his discography.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, idk, but I like when Cole sings. And does the background vocals. And uses different inflections and cadences on the same track but it’s all him. I think that s--- is so dope, especially on KOD.

 

May 11, 2021

Yea, certain songs I can only hear Cole singing, like with “apparently”, I can only hear Cole singing on that hook. But lion king on ice, I def hear drake on that hook

 

May 11, 2021

nah, I don’t think you are lying nor do I hold that perception about you. I just thought it was funny and always wanted to use that gif. Lol.

 

May 11, 2021

If I could only have one feature, I would want Rozay. He raps very well. Smooth af

 

May 11, 2021

Buckets ain’t change since the JCN days lmao. Legend.

Cole keeps referring to the offseason as the work required to get to peak form, which is the fall off. So I’m assuming we get some experimental s--- on here (please no k--- Edward BS).

 

May 12, 2021

Lol f--- a Bliss sighting fam, if you see @Cruz round here again that’s the biggest W of J. Scott’s career
