Yep and he didn't want no exposure for it too. People love to forget.
Bruhs, I will always champion for the voices of Black women/people to be heard and respected, but I’m confused as hell right now. Cole is getting slaughtered on Twitter. Am I wylin’, or did he simply provide insight?
I respect and understand the vast importance of “reading the room.” But do we not run the risk of policing art—especially a genre that has historically voiced it’s grievances—and in the process compromising the integrity of the product? Cole’s criticisms were not personal slights. They spoke to the need for a well rounded pedagogy.
I don’t know, bruhs. If I’m trippin’feel free to call me out.

Exactly. Why can’t he respond? Hardly a personal attack, just sharing his POV.

they are manufacturing a gender war amongst the black race on twitter at the moment. the tipping point was when that nigerian woman got killed a few days ago. missed the entire point of the song cus he was talking to a black woman.
Out of all that was said on the song, they think Cole was just throwing shots at Noname? I'm convinced most people really don't listen to lyrics

This shyt made me chuckle
yea and then she deleted the tweet
She says, their whole discography is about the black plight, so what more do they need to say? They been speaking and active in the community for their whole careers.this was she tweeted right after George Floyd died
Prisoner of the moment shyt. Nobody is obligated to do shyt, period.
People were coming at me on my socials during that blackout Tuesday shyt because I made it known that people weren't even doing the shyt right because they were tagging BLM in the posts... effectively blacking out those posts for a day. The sheep mentality that social media breeds is the worst thing about it IMO.

they honestly don’t , and the wild shyt is if you look at Noname original tweet ( which she deleted) she directly came at Cole & Kendrick .
I don’t even think dude responded back in a negative way
Dump Gawd
Im Exactly What You Think
J. Cole is getting attacked on twitter for asking NoName to have a healthy discussion after she called him and Kendrick out in the most condescending way
which is funny cuz 2 weeks later both Kendrick and Cole were marching and protesting
NoName is one of the corniest ppl, she's talented but she wants a pat on the back for being an activist instead being thankful the message is spreading across the nation.

Chappelle literally just responded to the same type of criticism and was called the GOAT.
He didn't even shyt on her really. But the flow was crazy.
I’m not saying he was shytting on her, I don’t think it’s a diss at all, in fact I see where he’s coming from. But in this climate, especially on the heels of the activist girl Toyin’s murder, it’s not gonna be interpreted the way he probably wanted.

This exactly. People can play dumb, but it's clear who she addressed that to. How can you make a tweet like that as if to say both Kendrick and Cole are opportunists? Especially when Cole was in Ferguson and made "Be Free"?
This is what happens when you put pressure on making people be vocal about things and jumping to conclusions about what people are and aren't doing. Because when you do, you either run the risk of them responding in a way you don't like (like Cole) OR you get a Lil Wayne situation.
If she called out Drake, I could see why because his music isn't "conscious" to the same degree as his other two peers, even though he has used his voice in the past. But you could see the reasoning behind it. Here, it's literally... "I didn't see any of you tweet or protest, therefore you're frauds." The "silence means complicity" statement shouldn't even be addressed to black people at all, never mind two black rappers both known for not being on social media like that.
And that's why social media is dangerous, people like to shoot first and ask questions later without thinking... And then not acknowledging that they were wrong when proven wrong.
yep she deleted her tweet right after j cole was marching and protesting in his hometown
She threw a shot at Kendrick and Cole first and now that he gave her attention she better not hide behind “I’m a women”. He wasn’t mean or hateful when a addressing her. Those chicks on twitter making this bigger then it needs to be and it’s getting on my nerves.
