Not trolling...but...How do ya'll listen to J Cole after this Lupe album?

[Billy Ocean]

Well simplistic safe non risky music will always sell more records

Stop it. You just feel a certain way that some people see the new Lupe album as cryptic, pseudo intellectual fluff for snobby nerd elitists, and rap fans that wanna feel like they're witnessing otherwordly rap music. It's just good. Nothing spectacular. And Cole has several records that has a message that is more against the grain and machine than ANYTHING on Lupe new sh!t.

Let's agree to disagree this going nowhere

Gemini prolly sitting somewhere like

You going over nikkas heads Lu
(Dumb It Down)
They tellin me that they don't feel you
(Dumb It Down)

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

Why can't you like both?

 

[mr.africa]

op a drake stan who's known to devote his free time hating on cole

 

[Zero]

Lowkey, nikkas sound like they appreciate being dumb as fukk in here and its a damn shame

 

[intilectual recipricol]

I liked Born Sinner alot better than Cole new shyt. But I liked Cole new shyt tho. I dont shyt on son at all, and I appreciate he out in these skreets. Appreciate his honesty, always feel like hes bein real. Even when Diggy murked him.

In no way does his album compare to Lu, but its not fair to single out Cole as if theres a bunch of nikkaz competing with the gawd.

I bet right now Cole bumpin T&Y like, "hip hop just made a comeback"

 

[emoney]

Yeah, in 2015 Cole isn't really seeing his peers when it comes to straight up rapping.

SMH @ myself for forgetting Krit as well.

That chess joint by Wale is official. The beat is clean, message in song is straight to the point.

I'll give that Big Sean 4th quarter song a listen later today.

 

[Higher Tech]

We can only enjoy one album at a time?

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

I don't believe so. I think he's sincere. I also commend him for actually speaking about and being proactive in the issues the Black community is dealing with in America at the moment.

Meh to me his music sucks and his approach is insincere and passive aggressive. I don't like it. To each his own. In any case Lupe is a better artist than J Cole by pretty much any measure.

Disagree on both accounts. I do agree with you tho that Tetsuo is this years Yeezus.

 

[Illmagic]

Both Albums are dope. Just cause Lupe didn't sell well doesn't mean we should hate on Cole cause his sold. I remember reading the thread for Cole's album and people were calling him the closest thing to Pac.. All of a sudden the album is wack now? When the next hot album comes out are we gonna turn on the Lupe too? Come on now. Both albums are fire. I can't say which one is better right now. I want to let both albums burn for at least 6 months and come back to both and compare then.

Poope Fiasco 30-40k sold

Jcole over 300k

Men lie, women lie, numbers don't.

So you only like what other people buy?

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Yea, Cole a better MC.

at...what?

What's this have to do with his rap ability?

Numbers determine whose better now? So i guess Drake is hands down the best rapper

Drake IS a better rapper than J Cole though. In every demonstrable category. Even subject matter.
