J.Cole’s Thesis On Millennial Black Male Consciousness

Written by: Ziggiy

“And I looked into your eyes and knew that you were a queen. Black skin, black hair, the blackest of beauty I had ever seen. Your cries were as melody and the music pierced to the very core of my soul. Simply the thought of parting with this warm bundle of preciousness left the fringes of my heart cold. Not only was your birth the proof of continued lineage, but also a renaissance of faith anew. For now the hope of a brighter future rests in the love that I have for you”

Hip Hop is very important to me. It is the musical genre that has most influenced, inspired, angered, saddened, and astounded me in all of its glory. I am extremely passionate about concepts or notions that make me think. Hip Hop is packed to the brim with poets and soothsayers whose lyrics make me think, they introduce me to worlds within worlds; as Nas spell-binds me by his portrait of the grimy and relentlessly bleak Queensbridge Housing Project. As Common weaves a narrative about early life in the Windy City. As Jay-Z gives you a peak into the mindset that molds a millionaire. Craftsmanship goes hand in hand with emotion when it comes to Hip Hop. The talent of taking one’s own personal story and formatting it in a way in which can relate to various cultures and continents is the most impressive skill of an MC. Black men and women have spun pain, racial injustice, cultural PTSD, and rage into golden nuggets of comedy, wisdom, and salvation. It is in this spirit that I look at the recent effort of a one Jermaine Cole and I can’t help but smile at my own surprise that Hip Hop continues to enchant me with its ability to relate directly to my own thoughts and feelings.

Yeah..I'm late as fuuck.

Finally listened to entire album.

"Neighbors" and "Ville Mentality" got multiple repeat spins. "Foldin Clothes" is some genuine grown man in a relationship track.
