J. Cole - KOD (Discussion Thread)

[Left.A1]

Nah b...

Yall buggin.. both albums are mad light

At least my nikka Lu put light in the title... I’ll probbaly never revisit this J Cole shyt again

Drogas is trash those are facts


Only nikkas playing this shyt are twirling glow sticks

Then he followed that track up with a joint that had the Backstreet Boys singing the hook







There is NOTHING on this Cole album that sounds as garbage as Drogas Light .... please stop it my boy

Cardi B is entertaining. I have books, lectures, and graduate school degrees for all that wannabe intellectual shyt. You ain't impressing me when I look at music to be entertaining. You make it sound like you have no social life. Do you walk around on frown all day?

Cole is nice on here, but another "capitalizm sux" critique is so played out to the point its not really helping anymore. Its just more try-hard shyt. Yes Cole. We know you wanna control how your tax dollars are spent. How about do what Cyhi did?




Heres the thing.

If you wanna rap about that shyt, make it dope.

Hov did that.






You want credit for merely checking the box of "he said it in a line"...thats not how this works.

now dont get me wrong, I think Cole did well on here...but he didn't KNOCK IT OUT.

He's very surface level. No real punchlines or metaphors or similes or indications that he understands ideas enough to flip them to the point where they make lasting and visceral connections.

You all hate Drake, but this is what makes him so potent lyrically. He says things beyond the surface level that resonate with people in ways they carry with them. Its the essence of an idea that Cole is missing. Either cause he can't write as well or he just doesn't have the talent to do so after all this time.

All of this long winded ass gibberish just to say you like hearing a rapper talk about sucking dikk over what’s being discussed on this album







nikka has 158000+ post on an internet chat board lecturing me about “not having a social life”





But that’s the coli in a nutshell

Ninjas saying Big Sean and Drake are better rappers than J. Cole

Nikkas talking about boring beats gotta be females.. mad you can’t dance to this

nikkas in here mad they can’t “flip their hair” to these beats

 

[BigMan]

nikkas in here mad they can’t “flip their hair” to these beats

nikkas mad they can't do the New Freezer challenge to J Cole
nevermind this is his fifth album

 

[FunkDoc1112]

My main problem with J. Cole are his beats. The production is always way too muted, almost like they're skeletons of dope beats in the making. I think it's the drums that are the biggest issue.

 

[Flawdaboi]

This album isn't bad. I take what nikkas say like whatever on here bc a large majority don't fukk with him anyway..

But after another listen there where a few standouts motiv8, Kevins heart, kod, bracket, 1985... basically the second half of the album.

nikkas acting like this is yatchy status r something tripping. One thing a nikka can't say is his last 3 album's sound the same lol

After 2 full listen I’m playing in the back ground while I work. I’m really enjoying this album.

I feel like most of the Cole haters are Kendrick’s Stan’s.

Honestly I feel Cole and Kendrick are on the same level, maybe giving Kendrick the edge

 

[TheObserver]

Any Emcee that Don't Write or Has Help with the Pen..
Shouldn't be compared to Cole... or any other Top Emcee... Period..

And I'm not a Huge Cole Fan.. I hate the Singing JCole..

But some of these opinions are just flat out Hate.. lol

I bet half the reviews I'm reading across the net are from people who haven't listened to it yet lol

i can see an argument that big sean on his level. he can spit, but i still prefer cole. however those claiming drake, who has thoroughly been exposed as a dude with ghost writers (in fact i think sean may have written for him early on), are full of shyt and they know it.
