From finish to start.

Listen, man.

We've had a healthy criticism of Cole just because of how everything played out in the battle.

But the only reason that we would be that critical of somebody is because we are fans of J. Cole.

Yeah.

And J. Cole got a couple of classes under his belt, most notably 2014 Forest Hills Drive.

But he's always told us, basically given us a timeline, and once the fallout comes, he's done.

And...

If that's how you're going to start... If you're going to start with the single... If the single is, I'm going to wrap my life in reverse.

That fall-off's going to be something crazy.

That fall-off's going to be crazy.

I did predict this.

What did I say?

What'd you say?

I said, first quarter...

Be ready for J. Cole to come back.

I didn't have any inside information.

This was just an intuitive feeling that I felt like, okay, everything is calm.

A lot of great music released in 2025.

You don't want to step on that or get in the mix of that, especially if this is going to be your final album.
