Dec 3, 2021Timeless project one of coles many albums that show he is one of this generations best
-
May 26, 2021Definition of a classic. No rapper has ever evoked emotion as genuinely as Cole does on this project
-
Apr 11, 2021An easily accessible record from Cole; however, it does seem to come across as shallow at moments.
7.7/10 -

Jan 28, 2020Really great with the theme of Cole's life from the early days of Forest Hills Drive through to his days of becoming a celebrity and reflecting on the past. Also like how the love theme is present throughout.

Jan 24, 2020This album is a masterpiece, every song has deep meaning and delivery is amazing also this album has the best Intro ever and you can't change my mind. MASTERPIECE

Aug 17, 2019This is THE adolescence album. Imma be playing this from now through college.
Best Tracks:Wet Dreamz, No Role Modelz, Intro, Love Yourz, January 28th, ’03 Adolescence, Hello, Apparently, A Tale of 2 Citiez, Fire Squad, St. Tropez, G.O.M.D.
Worst Tracks:Note to Self -
Jul 28, 2019A masterpiece of an album. The concept takes you on a journey that helps you feel a connection to the artist. The lyrics are soulful and relatable. The tracklist is airtight with plenty of repayable tracks. This is undoubtedly Cole's best album and a classic of the decade.
-
May 28, 2019Every song is good. Worth listening to over and over again. You will not be disappointed
-
May 23, 2019Although coming through with a few notably good cuts, the majority of this album is cliché and unimpressive. With the right producer and someone hanging around telling him to cut out the cringier lines Cole could craft a truly good rap album

Jan 29, 20192014 Forest Hills Drive is not just another rap album, its art. When I first listen to his album the first time I thought it was decent. However when I listen to the album a couple more times, I fell in love with it. 2014 Forest Hills Drive by J Cole make one of the greatest albums of his career, and one of the best albums of 2014. This album is a must listen.
-
Dec 3, 2018A true entertainment album. The lyrics are good but not great, but the production is elite and Cole's rapping is perfect.

Jun 30, 2018Thats a classic album. J. Cole delivered some fire on this one. Great production and the lyrics are on point. Album contains songs that everybody can relate to.
-
Apr 24, 2018this is his second best album no hits no real standouts to me I just like every song. the ontro is really good. love this album hope he can make something just as good in the future
-
Mar 25, 2018J.coles story telling skills are un real. every track is unique only one forgettable track : st tropez
-
Jan 30, 2018The first classic that J.Cole has in my opinion is definitely this album, his third. 2014 Forest Hill Drive introduced me to J.Cole as a storyteller MC. Painted vivid pictures that made me understand why people make the Nas comparison.
-
Sep 4, 2017His best work to date. Delivered through Incredible production and a signature flow that is hard to compare to any other artist in the game. Very real and raw lyrics make this album a hip-hop classic.
-
Jul 18, 2017good album..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

May 23, 2017This is a truly great album to just sit back and chill while listening to. There are some hard hitting songs and also some softer songs that greatly even the album out. I don't dislike any of the songs.
Best songs: No Role Modelz / St. Tropez / Fire Squad -
Mar 6, 2017Easily the best album of all time. I refuse to give anything else close to this project. From now on, I base my albums from 1 to 10, where the only way it can be a 10 is if it somehow beats this album. Cole is the greatest of all time. Hands down
-
Dec 15, 2016Incredible album that truly expresses the story of J Cole. Give it time, multiple listens, and enjoy the art. Certainly one of my all time favorite albums

UncutFeb 3, 2015You long for a bit more of the ardour of "Fine Squad." [Mar 2015, p.73]
-
Jan 5, 2015He speaks some incisive truths about class, race ("Fire Squad") and relationships ("Wet Dreamz"), but those insights are too often undercut by crass humor. The production falls short, too, with dull beats to match his languid flow.

Dec 18, 2014Consistent, yes, but not the king yet.
