Put some respek on J. Cole name

[Jaz]

Favorite track on the cd...

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Shut the fukk up with this "real hip hop" shyt

Real hip hop is entertaining

Real hip hop doesn't need fukkboys to defend it

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Respect the vibe.

Never understood why he gets so much hate. He's not a hyped out kind of rapper.

I swear listening to Cole gets me in my feelings;

'Cause we from where you from
not talking 'bout the slums
I'm talkin' about that mindstate that keep a black nikka dumb
Keep a black nikka dyin' by a black nikka gun
And keep 'em listenin' to these frontin' ass rap nikkas son

That verse and his verse on Pity make me contemplate my life

 

[SirBiatch]

Cole aint nothin but mid-00s conscious underground rap revisited

People big him up because of what he represents rather than his actual ability

that's what these new cats don't understand. Cole, Kendrick.... so safe. We've been here before, and it was done better back then. I rock with rappers that do NEW shyt. take me places where hip hop hasn't been and do it well. Not some struggle backpack rapper 'bringing the feeling back'. FOH

What new shyt? And who's doing it?


I don't recall mainstream hip hop albums like GKMC/TPAB

What new shyt? And who's doing it?


I don't recall mainstream hip hop albums like GKMC/TPAB

For GKMC: you've never heard Aquemini (any Atliens and after Outkast album)

For TPAB: or Guru's Jazzmattaz or Electric Circus? or even Black Messiah, TPAB's direct ripoff?

Kendrick's entire steez has been done before. There's nothing fresh about it.

edit:

Despite the album’s aspirations towards the avant-garde, To Pimp A Butterfly isn’t even particularly innovative. The blending of jazz, funk, and neo-soul has been a cliché of progressive-leaning hip-hop since the late 1990s. Basically, anything the Soulquarian clique ever released. Common’s Electric Circus, Q-Tip’s Kamaal the Abstract, The Roots’ Phrenology all moved towards sonic eclecticism that Kendrick is dabbling in. Like Kendrick’s latest, the musicianship on each of its predecessors was virtuosic. However, each fell victim to the same plague of prizing atmosphere and abstraction over tight songwriting.

and you wonder why SirBiatch doesn't fawn over this bullshyt. It's not because I don't get it. It's because y'all don't get it. You have no sense of history to compare this stuff to

Soundscapes no but creativity it was breath of fresh air

J Cole will be looked at as the top face of this gen when its all said and done

 

[Professor Polo]

Funny shyt?

I look at Wale's snapchat and he has absolute FIRE.

I mean shyt that makes J Cole look like he's in the talent competition in high school.

Wale needs J Cole's push, but hey, I don't make the rules

I DO know that J Cole appeals to people who aren't that intelligent. I feel confident in saying that right now. No one who ACTUALLY considers themselves an academic or learned or even someone who isn't that pretentious needs to listen to that ham-fisted attempted conscious bullshyt. He's not that good at even rapping. I mean...he can lace a few bars together when he does a feature or two, but his LPs are an epic chore and an exercise in unremarkable and prosaic output.

Everything you're saying cannot be farther from the truth, unless you're trolling of course. Outside of Wale needing Coles push. I'm a Wale fan too.

J Cole offends me as a vegan transgender atheist who vapes and crossfits 4 times a week and im also a male feminist as I identify myself as a pastafarian apache helicopter dog mega multi combo god of hyper death and if you dont agree with me You're an ignorant arrogant globaphobic sexist lesbian

 

[AV Dicey]

I gotta give him credit, that 'Cant Get Enough' sample was
More rappers should sample old African rhumba artists. Those lead and rhythm guitarists were performing exorcisms.
Stromae even does it justice in his decidedly Europop song, but I digress...J Cole is aight...good for him tho

 

[T-Racks]

Agreed, that sample is piff
