![]() Cole’s ability to create symbols in his work, this is about so much more. ![]() This is also true for ‘Foldin’ Clothes’, which has been subject to a bit of shade, perhaps because it seems to be about simply doing household chores. ![]() ![]() The way in which Cole writes is allegorical and never obvious, yet down to earth ‘Neighbors’ expresses frustration due to prejudice from the affluent community he has worked hard to become a part of, only to find that ‘the neighbors think I’m sellin’ dope’. Cole discusses the pressures on black society in America throughout the album, with ‘Ville Mentality’ describing the need to escape from the fate that your environment dictates and ‘Change’ highlighting the importance of independence in the face of turbulence and tragedy. The album is featureless, which I guess makes sense, as it is so personal that it feels like a diary.
