J. Cole - 4 Your Eyez Only (album reaction) 

If you want to cry listen to the og mix ( not remastered ) of ghost pop by Devon Hendrix( jpegmafia old stuff)

i cried the second time listening to the title track, when i actually listened to the lyrics and paid attention

this is def a VALID crying album

Hi path love your vids ❤

Nope, the last track got me crying like a baby

Bro🤞

I love sseing people react to this amazing album ❤

There’ll always be haters, this is true in any field unfortunately 😢

when this came out i was a firm believer that this a 0 skip album still am

who hates jcole??? ive never heard anyone say they dislike jcole

@@Galaxyyy420there’s plenty of people

@@Galaxyyy420everyone has haters

No it’s by his cousin not his close friend.

lol ok semantics guy 😂😂 at a certain age a select few close friends get the title of uncle/ cousin in my family. Must be different where your from?

@@highinside4757 yeah I have some of those in my family, this isn’t that though, if you ever listened to the album you’d know that.

@@AtlMarcusno its his best friend bot

its real soul music

his ability to just yapp is just good

Ngl DEHH gave me a great perspective on why that song exists. It's such a minor thing, and yet some insecure 'manly' men won't help their wives fold clothes because it's generally seen as emasculating.....Cole being willing to actively want to fold clothes for his S.O. shows how much he loves them and is willing to reject toxic notions of what is considered masculine for her sake. Still don't like the song, but I appreciate and admire the sentiment alot.

Reminds me of a powerful line in the movie Everywhere Everything All At Once “In another life I would’ve loved doing laundry and taxes with you”

Yessss

The song directly correlates with the first song of the album where he says you either live a fast life or a long one unfulfilled. IN folding clothes hes realized that the long life is fulfilling

Hmm, album came out I wasn’t messing w it, but this persepctive opened me to it. When it came out I was in my first relationship, 15. On weekends where I had to do laundry, we’d go together and she’d help me and make the time go by like it was nothing.

wym people dont bump to Foldin Clothes ???

@@pathreactslol its definitely a vibey song ngl

Aye bro, I bump at least 3 songs from this album everyday; at the gym, hooping, and especially when I’m at peace somewhere

@@troynaval4526 more power to you brother lol

@@xXL0U13Xx likewise you too 🙏🏽

god, tell me abt it. right after writing notes for this vid, i visited my parents and they told me abt how hard it was to raise me while they were young, without much money & while getting an education. parents can be incredible, the love and motivation to make a good life for their children is so heartwarming

Kendrick songs are way better made me cry a river 😭

@@jc-zp1de no point of comparing both of them are the best in the game

I did, too. It made think about my close friend...

makes me tear up every single time🔥😭

It's not about him it's about his friend who passed away

@@johnbo3000 ?

Yesss

she skipped over that line which is crazy

Wow, thank you! Warm welcome :)

​@@pathreactshonestly this is really dope

@@pathreactsliterally my favorite reaction video 😭

Same here. Keep doing you!

Frr

Amazing storytelling

woah woah woah, though I agree, but comparing it to SAMIDOT is a crime

@@christianfrancisco9809 "comparing it to samidot is a crime" foh

@@christianfrancisco9809ok

lmao cap

literally do not understand how people dont connect with either of these. i love them sm

tbh i think this is the only genuinely good cole album, most of his other stuff to me is just meh, good songs sparkled in between but extremely inconsistent

@@pathreactsI love both records but I have friends and most of them only care about production. It’s sad cuz sometimes I feel bad for what they missin on. I’ll put on 4yeo and they say it’s ass cuz they think it’s a boring beat and too long. Many people only care about production and I hope someday that people will dig past that and see how much more there is to music

@@JuanAndOn1yy yeah as someone who was previously exclusively in the EDM scene, i love & am drawn to production as well, so i can get that. but i actively try to take a more holistic approach to music now. a lot goes into it & a lot can be appreciated!

@@javiartemForrest hill drive???? Your crazy

it reached you at the perfect time

@pathreacts 100%! I dont think i ever truly appreciated the structure of an album until this one. She's mine pt.2 is filled with love and hope for the future and then the last song hits. Absolutely devastating

I was in a hospital bed, recovering from meningitis. I almost died. I woke up after 2-3 days and my GF was curled up on the couch in my room. She was the first one there. This album came out the day I woke up and when I listened to she’s mine I started crying just seeing her sleeping. That’s when I decided I was gonna marry her. That was 7 years ago. We’re married with 2 kids now. She’s mine parts 1/2 make me tear up to this day.

@erwinguerra3981 That's amazing, true love is something special! Listen to these songs when I'm in a rough spot and they help me through it

100% can’t wait

I think that what she said in that censor at 22:31

thank you for sharing

same brotha

Wow, thank you 🥹

This album is not underrated most people debate whether this album or forest hill drive is his best album so how's it underrated.. y'all be throwing the underrated word around it's hilarious

@@Chille10 "Most people" being Cole fans. From general audiences, this album isn't appreciated nearly as much as it should be. This album made the "J Cole makes sleeping music" shit more prominent. I just looked at some rankings online, and people are putting it at: 6/10, 6/8, and 6/8 for where it sits amongst his other projects.

⁠​⁠@@curlbeats1670as a Coke fan. This is my second favorite release. If you include mixtapes, Friday Night Lights will be on the top, 4YEO, The Warm Up, Born Sinner, and Truly Yours and my top 5 of Cole’s discography

​@Chille10 a bit late, but I don't think you realise how many people hate on this album. Great reaction though, I think it's his best album

wow 🥹 thank you for the kind words

are u the eric that did like 4 community favourites LOL i didnt notice when i closed submissions 😭

@@pathreacts It's not me, but I'm sure that Eric loves Cole as much as I do! 😂

​@@pathreacts please react to the call for 2014 Forest Hills Drive! I bet you'll tear up by the end too! and if you do get to it, you need to finish the outro, all 14 mins.

She also has to react to that

see u later :)

i love your reactions because i get to read the lyrics and listen, which is something i struggle to do on my own. so when i read something my fuck ass ears wildly misinterpreted the whole song starts making more sense LMAO. also your breakdowns and community favorites help a ton. multiple perspectives breed clarity and understanding. with that being said, this is my favorite cole album. this is the one that cemented him as one of my top 10 rappers. his other projects are undoubtedly good, but just like gkmc, this is a storytelling album. i LOVE storytelling albums. i get to picture everything in my head. and i love when artists use their platforms to share what its like growing up in hoods and underprivileged communities. it really takes someone from the inside to tell the story so that people everywhere understand what it's like. it's tragic and it's terrifying and children shouldn't have to grow up with that fear but it's unfortunately its all a lot of our families can really settle for. especially nowadays this rent is brutal. but anyway, i'll shut up now. thanks for sharing this reaction, i got to enjoy some coffee and listen to good music and learn a little more than i knew. video was awesome. dig into more of his music, he's truly one of the greatest rappers of our generation. goodnight all

wow, thank you for sharing!!!

ohhh you're so right, i still need to check out circles !!

ill definitely be listening to more j cole in the future :)

Shame mmm mmm mm who tf don’t know jermane Cole

Yasss!

absolutely special. i never thought for a second that any of it was boring

🤯 we’re tuned in
