J. Cole doesn't think you should have to stay up until midnight to hear a new album.⁠ ⁠ In a recent interview with Nadeska Alexis for Apple Music, Cole questioned the ritual entirely, comparing it to making someone see a movie at midnight on a Friday: "You wouldn't disrespect a movie like that."⁠ ⁠ He extended the thought to Stevie Wonder. "Thank God 'Songs in the Key of Life' didn't drop today. Can you imagine if that dropped as a double disc and people had to listen at 12 o'clock just to have an opinion by Monday?"⁠ ⁠ And to anyone who actually made it through all 24 tracks of 'The Fall Off' on night one: "Thank you. And if you didn't, I don't even blame you. It's 12 o'clock at night."⁠ _ ⁠#pigeonsandplanes #jcole #thefalloff #newmusic #rap
