[Styles]

Cole is the rapper I trust the most to deliver an album I'll fukk with heavy. Can't wait.

 

[Piff Perkins]

So both tracks so far feature very recognizable samples from previous rap songs

 

[Formerly known as...]

What's the sample in Everybody Dies

 

[FunkyFresh]

Everybody Dies

Been shytting on Snore but that part of the verse "clap at the fake deep rappers, the OG gate keep rappers.... get exposed standing next to 6'4" rappers" might the hardest shyt he's ever spit. It's more memorable than anything Duck has ever spit.

Is J Cole on his way to making Duck a distant third in the mainstream rap game?

shyt is looking like Drake >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> J Cole >> Kendrick

duckworths are looking super funny in the light

Your pathetic

 

[Ribbs]

Please heavenly father let there be some features on this. Lord, you know. Jermaine can rap but you know he really desperately needs features to compliment him. Lord, you know. he gives his best beats away to his rap friends. Please lord bless me this favour.

Amen.

Minnie Ripperton - Inside my love

 

[thernbroom]

Just seen my father for the first time in a minute
And when I say a minute I mean years man

My mama left you and maybe your anger's to blame
But that's no excuse, only you and God know the truth
And why you only call monthly, barely ever saw me

But I want a father so bad, I can't help it

I feel like cole reached too much with born sinner, its alright, but forest hills drive was his authentic self, he had that same vibe I got from mixtapes, that bread and butter
born sinner didn't feel authentic enough to me, felt like too much of a reach, couple joints I fukk with, but when I wanna hear cole I listen to friday night lightS, FHD, and truly yours eps

Born Sinner is better lyrically
Born Sinner has more quotables
Born Sinner has more variety and a better balance

FHD has become one of the most overrated albums in the last 5 years.

 

[NYtymes]

when kanye told jay "dont send the killers at his head" ... was he talking about cole ?

 

[No1]

It's become the cool thing to shyt on Cole on here but I fukks with him as a MC. Dope rapper, great performer and he's shown that he genuinely cares about Black social issues. I just wish that he worked with more producers on his solo work. And I'm gonna forever fukk with him after Fire Squad. Was waiting for a highly relevant Black rapper to get at Marshall.

OG Cole fans are his biggest critics.

Yeah, I had no idea FHD was this loved if I wasn't on the internet. The only people I knew who loved FHD were teenagers who related to songs like Wet Dreamz.

 

[GeeEffKay]

Thank god he's dropping. Thought I was gonna be stuck with 6fraud, gambino and cudi for the month

On here I get the impression that the dikkriders just latched on to the "Cole is wack" sh!t. I have yet to have met long time Cole fans who don't fvck with him anymore. If anything Cole one of the newer artists that has a loyal fanbase that continues to grow and appreciate his growth as a MC. I don't see a bunch of critics of his work irl, other than the whole production thing. Alot of people really do wanna see him do more work with other producers.
