So what J Cole's path forward from here? Does he have one?

[Metal Face]

Link?

Around the 25:50 mark he called random nikkas firing at him (has already happened) and that he gonna have to pick on somebody, and also that he put his own squad in jeopardy like JID, cozz, bas, etc.

 

[Braman]

As they say on the Wire, he needs to hit the mattresses. Full on hibernation. This ain’t his moment. Ain’t nothing he can do to erase that L. So he needs to go completely silent and make people miss him.

The masses are more predictable than ever. When the groupthink momentum builds it’s an avalanche. No stopping it. But when time passes, everybody turns contrarian. Ie OJ dies and all of a sudden this ngga gets a 21 gun salute. Trump loses, 4 years later he got even stronger. People are fukking stupid

So yea. He needs to not say a single word for like a year. His ‘comeback’ would have people back on his dikk no diddy

Cole will be good

 

[AnonymityX1000]

he should drop an introspective track.. bout why he apologized.. then second verse go at both drake and kendrick on some wtf was I thinking.. im better than yall

Yeah the last part I don't think he can sound convincing.
He can do the first part, most of his fans will respect it and he can move on.

 

[LandryFieldsDad]

It's tough. Because if you take out "I'm good at rapping" bars from j. Cole.

Whats left? "I knew some criminals growing up"

 

[The Villain]

Yeah just keep doing what he's been doing before decided to get involved in this. His fans will not care. He will continue to go plat and sell out. This shyt aint gonna matter in a month

Back to CEBL - Canadian Elite Basketball League - Official Site full time

[Rivoli]

Do a collab album with Kendrick

 

[Mull]

As disappointed as we are in Cole, he has a fanbase that is well outside of hip-hop. Dude just sold out his own festival. He will be good.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Ignore all them dumb nikkas and make some good music

 

[pauljerico]

He needs to retire no coming back after this...

rap game isnt for him apologizing and shyt...

coming from listens to cole and stopping...

 

[Piff Perkins]

He's not Nas

He better try to be, because it's over for that other shyt.


I agree with you BTW. But one of the first thoughts I had after the apology was basically...he needs his Stillmatic now. An album full of concepts and trying different shyt. I really don't see another avenue.
