I tried to figure of what about J Cole that I didn't like. To me he's a good lyricist, has good presence and decent lines. I know he produces most of his shyt and has made bangers of beats in the past, but lately, his beats are very bland sounding. Nothing Dynamic and sounds outdated. If you listen to someone like Ye, every year he tried to push the envelope. At one point it was Cole>>> Wale. Now it's the opposite. Wale did a 180 when he joined MMG. Wale can jump on any kind of track, hate him or love him. I also feel he needs to stop singing/Harmonizing on tracks. Not all lightskin nikkas need to sing my nikka.
Curren$y to me is the only semi mainstream nikka that can do justice to soul beats and it's moreso his content. Chill smoking laid back vibe beats talking about getting head from a college chic or Sallie Mae any day in this era. I would like to hear Cole over some Mike Will or Hitboy.
