I know ultra smart people who only listen to Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka etc.
And super stupid people who only listen to socially conscious music.

I mostly find that super average minded narcissists stan strictly conscious music, cats who think they really know what's going on in the world.
And love using phrases like "open your eyes" and "They've fooled you".
I play trap music at 5 am to 6am every morning getting ready for the day. ignorant shyt when i work out.


but ...... if ur bored w j cole then i would assume you also would be bored with the roots, or eykah badu n shyt. Not that he's as talented, but still many people i hear talking about trap music never participated in trap activities or even lived in the hood - so i just don't get it.

how i'm listening to Nas but the white bish in my office listen to Flocka :what:

J cole isn't the same as drake to me. Drake doesn't appeal to any part of anything real. at least cole is like who u become when u leave the hood...

No...why would I be bored with those artists?

J Cole isn't on the Roots level. What the hell is wrong with you?

Dude is just an average MC passing for something more than what he is or is capable of.

I just think people got different tastes in music. I don't think most people (who don't like him) are thrown off by his subject of matter.
It might be his flow, delivery, voice, rhyme schemes, his energy, some combination of it etc..


And as far as Drake goes, I think he talks about real shyt.
Maybe not real shyt to poor people, but all from insecurities in looks, with women, how to deal with success/failures, relationships, parties, friendships, family and more.
While not poverty, politics, crime and todays mathematics it's still real.

In any event he's in my top 3 of new artists, I've seen unjustified hate for him specially from people who like artists that are generally considered to be "boring artists" on their less appreciated material.

j. cole, is a nas ventriloquist and impressionist.
personally, I think he is jayz's tongue and cheek joke on nas.
that says, jay can create another nas.
a nas clone, that can work over the sonic landscapes and perform flows that nas is not proficient at.
you really can not fault anyone who does not champion j. cole.
duke is a biter of the highest regard.

only reason j cole permeates is because of the former livenation deal.
j. cole really is lesser skilled than elzhi, ali vegas, Eminem on infinite, or mic Geronimo.
if those four and other nas clones are not given a pass.
why should people with a brain.
who can clearly hear, j cole is a nas biter.
why should they give j cole, a pass.
for what others were made to switch up or were not able to draw further some fifteen to twenty odd years ago.

well... fair enough.


i don't hate drake tho.... I remember in 06 I was called a fakkit for playing his shyt at a barbershop, now those same nikkas like him. but he's a download for free and not buy artist just because of who he is, imo.. but i will say no one has better hit records right now.... but jcole speaks on the same shyt and more.

Honestly I have noticed that a lot of J Cole fans are in college/educated. SOME of the people who go out of their way to hate him will be the first ones hyping up Gucci Mane/Future/Rich Homie Quan level rappers. Im a big fan of J Cole and Kendrick Lamar because I can relate to their lyrics. I grew up in poverty but I was that nikka in the hood with dreams and goals that wanted to get out without selling crack or joining gangs.

I recognize his skills n he has a few songs I kinda like but I dont fukk with his music like that...

I also fail to see the Nas comparison

This nikka will never reach Nas levels... Nas is one of the pioneers of this shyt, someone who revolutionized rap music... This kid is doin good now but I dont see him reachin legendary status

Well, the dumb loves the drum. :manny:

Sure, there are smart people that like that ratchet trap shyt, but they sure ain't going out to buy their retail albums. :pachaha: Cole may be boring, but somehow, his fans will actually go out there and buy his retail shyt. No wonder his sophomore album is already gold while Ace Hood can't crack 100k albums with all that exposure he has. People are tired of that 808s southern trap shyt and want something with more skill and heart.

although I don't think cole is boring, I can see why others might...and the only person to blame is cole himself...on born sinner, it sounds like he regressed as a mc cause he's trying so hard to be some 'i'm still down for the struggle, underground hip-hop purist' mc, that he's limiting his beats and lyrics...and I dont see it getting better cause of the nas incident....cause now he's trying his best to live up to some bs label/standard that nas abandoned a long time ago...nas realized that it's not trying to sound like a certain thing, all it boils down to it making hot music....hopefully cole realizes this too....
