Can't help but chuckle that many of the women parsing every line of Cole's record don't put an ounce of that same energy into parsing shyt their favorite mainstream female rapper is saying. You know, because they aren't saying shyt. But that's another thread for another time.
In terms of Cole...complaining about tone is wack to me. I wish he had simply said fukk being politically correct or cordial - because you gonna get dragged either way - and said what he wanted to say. Which is that, during a time when black people are being murdered by cops, anyone playing the "bububu how come xyz aren't saying anything" card needs to get the fukk outtahere. Chapelle already said it, might as well say it again. Cole was at the protests. Kendrick was at the protests. Both have spent more time AND money on community work than some no name rapper black women don't even listen to.
One final point: twitter...isn't real. If we had any real way of measuring sentiments of black women on this, I have a feeling they'd side with Cole and be confused why anyone is even mad. Getting "dragged" by a few thousand people on twitter is irrelevant. And for all those dudes wringing their hands saying "but Cole did all this stuff for women and they still cancelled him" nah fukk that. Nobody is cancelled. STOP turning everything into a "he got cancelled" narrative when the reality is that...a few people on twitter are mad, and nobody in the real world gives a fukk.
