Malcolm-Jamal Warner: “I Stopped Listening to J Cole Because Of His Usage Of “N*gga & B*tch!”

[tuckgod]

Malcolm is the culture

They used him to popularize hip hop around the country and push a whole lot of style trends in the 80s



He can say whatever he wants

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

He sounds soft. Crying over the word nikka and bytch. Sound like a coli nikka to be honest.

And did they say MLK use the word nikka regularly? Interesting. The coli please stop saying nikka coalition not gonna like that one

 

[levitate]

Same thing that put me off to Nipsey…
Like, damn… this is just too much “nikka”.

 

[Premeditated]

aint gonna lie, as someone who was listening to Jole during his mixtape days, a few month ago, i relisten to his old shyt and i cringe at the amount of times he says nikka. maybe because i've grown older and i try to not use it as much

 

[Sbp]

Malcolm from a different era. His style of rap ain't have all that

Yup. Malc from the era when cats was saying "Jammin on the one"

 

[#BOTHSIDES]

I don’t blame him.

Yeah I think my nikka @Sad Bunny said the same thing. I’m ready to dead the word

 

[RadaMillz]

I don't even know why mainstream rappers use the N word in every bar in a hot song

most of the listeners are not black, thus can not use it creatively in public space
social media viral tweets/posts/videos
commercials
movies

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Yup. Malc from the era when cats was saying "Jammin on the one"

"Baby baby baby baby baby"

Agree with him wholeheartedly. I remember a time in hiphop where it wasn't used 1000x a song. And I had to learn to accept it in a lot of the acts that I've liked - Wu, Nas, etc. Even Mos Def and Black Thought. But I just had parents that raised me a different way, so it's never been a part of my every day vocabulary. I still perform, and do a lot of hip hop karaoke (I've done shows in BK in front of like 500 people) and I always edit it out of every song that has it. I'm actually cool w Method Man's sister, and we duet on songs occasionally and she feels the same way and also edits it out.

This era is like it just went out of control. I can't even listen to NBA podcasts because now NBA players say it freely. Obviously it's worse to me when non blacks use it, but I've grown to hate hearing it period.

I like "They Not Like Us" due to the savaging of Drake but cringe at how a song that's being played in white weddings and all that has it so much.

Wasn’t until I saw some country club young cac bump this that it really hit me…

Yep, plus would make it a lot easier for your music to be used in movies/tv, and in public at live sporting events and other venues etc. I think even Lupe for a few years now, has been cursing way more in his music than he used to. I respect Meth because he's chilled on that, and peeps didn't even notice because his pen still so sharp.

Dancehall reggae is also suffering, because the current music is far too vulgar.

a lot of music period has OD'd on the vulgar. It does show a lack of creativity at times.

 

[richaveli83]

If you are aware of his opinion on Malcolm & Eddie this won't surprise you.

What does he think about it?

Edit: I saw the interview posted just now.

 

[DerrtySouthpaw]

Nip my fav rapper but this is legit. Man has a verse where he ended every bar with nikka

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Interesting he singled out the safe beige one

That's exactly the point
Imagine that other octoroon rapper, whatever his name is.. saying nikka every 2 seconds?

I agree

that's the thing, if your pen game is nice people won't even notice that you don't curse. Like Rakim for example, he didn't curse in his prime and I never noticed until someone pointed it out. I didn't hear Rakim curse until 2000bc with Canibus

speaking of Canibus, he was so lyrical if he didn't curse I wouldn't have cared either
