Hate when rappers who had it EASY try to act like they had it hard.

This is the number 1 reason why I could never get into J Cole. All his early stuff is about him struggling in college...and I am like...nikka...you in fukking COLLEGE:martin:...just you being their means you aint struggling:martin:

After the umpteenth..."this tuition this" and "my teachers that" and "she hanging out with the athletes this"...I just tuned him out
I know homeless people in college dude, like, Ivy League.
Where are y'all bum nikkas from where "college" means rich? :dwillhuh:

This thread should be about ASAP Ferg, Travis Scott, Asher Roth, Mac Miller, Kanye West, Pusha T and David Banner.
Not J. Cole :snoop:

Like j cole. You gotta FOUR YEAR DEGREE. You could quit rap right now and get a 6 FIGURE JOB.

Your mommy bought you $500 beat machines as a KID. YOU had it EASY stop acting like it was anything different.

"If you don't take chance how we gon get rich"

SMH stop talking like that. You were BORN rich. You never took no real chance.
Trash thread.


Not sure which one is worse. This or the One dissing Dave Chappelle:jbhmm:

nikkas want their rappers to have a crackhead for a father, a prostitute for a mother, and for them to have had to sell heroin from age 6 so they could put ramen on the table.
Not everyone is going to be the Game, 50 Cent, or Crooked I :mjlol:

No we just want their music to be good.

J. Cole is just average to me. .

I don't think Common has ever claimed to have grown up in the hood.

Because Common's mother was a PhD and Chicago principal, and because his father was an NBA-ABA basketball player and a youth counselor.
He wouldn't be able to say it without 1/2 of Chicago checking him.
J. Cole isn't average to the majority of people :yeshrug:
He's better than this Atlanta, pseudo-drill pop, lean-induced, trash that I'm forced to hear everytime I turn on the radio. :scust:

Sounds as though you have decided what struggle means for everybody else.

First of all, shout out to all the parents who do or did without. Worked 2 jobs, got in debt, picked their kids up from practice after they finished work, drove all over the country taking them everywhere and having to constantly be the bad guy pushing them when they wanna quit.

A lot of musicians, actors, athletes more than likely didn't have a similar childhood to you, hours of practice, even when you don't want to do that shyt cos you're missing out doing all the dumb shyt you get to do as a kid, you only get that period of your life to get away with most of that shyt.

It's like when we first see a young Bleek, dude is blowing and his homies are hollering to come out and play, Ma Dukes ain't hearing that shyt, its practice time.

I grew up and around people who went on to become famous musicians, actors and Premiership footballers even an Olympic sprinter. The thing is that there are better singers, dudes who were gifted athletes, could run faster than, dribble a ball faster than any of the people who went on to actually make it. The difference is that once it became apparent they had that talent they had to be separated from the rest of us because we had lots of walking examples of talent minus discipline.

Even after all that sacrifice success isn't guaranteed.

If you don't see the "struggle" in that don't know what to say,

crazy that this thread is up after I was just watching the HBO special with him. He said he wanted to go to the "cool" school growing up but his mom said nah. He was there thinking about how his life would have been if he didn't go to the upscale school and get the scholarship in new york. He thought he would be distracted by 1. what he was wearung. 2. girls. 3. the environment of his peers. Idk what to tell people...some people got it and some dont. I mean how many rappers in the hood do you hear that sound like everybody in town? For me, everyone sounds the same in my area so even if they do make it out the hood people will still hate because once they change their location they won't want to come back to the hood. it's a lose/lose situation you put yourself in because you got jealous people still in the hood ready to jack you on site and then people that love you. I see a lot of rappers go back just for the inspiration and to get hungry again but ain't nothing left in the hood but the same people doing the same things.

The self hatred of the modern suburban negro sounds like the title of a book that needs to be written.

Brehs leisurely typing up essays online from their laptop about how some other breh don't know the struggle cause he didn't grow up in public housing or something... :stopitslime:

There are different types of struggle.

And Cole lived in a trailer park and dropped an album last year about moving from that trailer park to a lower-middle class home.:comeon:

And what does going to college have to do with struggling?:dahell:

You think they hand you a 100k job and a pension when you get a degree?

You shouldn't judge something you're not to sure about. J Cole has a four year degree this is true ( We went to the same university), but that Nikka degree was in communication. If you look at his interview he did at the school, he talks about how his major wasn't making him any money, while his friends were making way more.

This is before his first album came out!


2:20 mark!


Born rich but got a Vincentian scholarship, for being lower- income. Lol!


Good interview...that mark pitts advice is a gem some may not understand...j cole ran with that...

Also, on the sly he dissed how us NY'ers be speaking son, my word is bond us Gods gonna catch him slippin.:stopitslime:

What else would the bottom be? :what:

It sure isn't growing up in a wealthy Canadian suburb as a child actor :russ:

The bottom is exactly that, the bottom. Poverty...struggle. Drake has never seen these things.

I'm sure someone will try to split hairs and say "well, in the rap game" but....

I think in terms of the rap game, Drake most definitely started from the bottom. In the traditional sense, his background (Canadian, child actor, jewish, etc) was an absolute negative.

That didn't take long. :dead:
Yeah, being Jewish in the music industry is definitely a negative.
