I don't think he's lying at all, that's why he started doing features with guys like 21 savage, gucci and lil yachty
He just not trying to sit on a high horse
shyt fake.
J Cole was never this culturally enriched bboy. Duke is a Nas biter.
So him even going on anything. trying to rationalize him being more this or that.
to those type of artist is cap.
Simple as that.
No need to even say what he said.
What he should have said was.
I have an industry cosign that out me here. Then leave it at that. Duke never tore down a damn thing grassroots nowhere.
J Cole's draw needs to be. Go to school get an education then a career job then attempt a rap career. Other than not speaking up the mad skills level of being a professional drawing artist. Oh I forgot. This nikka j Cole never spit nowhere off the head of note. Before being signed.
So he probably never heard mad skills.
So he does not even know hiphop history. To know wtf to key in in about his own career. As far as relevance culturally to hiphop and the rap business.
J Cole needs to market going to school and getting an education. .just like chance needed to market. Using your parents resources and the power of the black home. Instead we get this culture thief talk about delusion. Like j Cole was this great grassroots emcee and it is a major label rocafella artist made lie.
J Cole is nuffin more.
than what if jayz found another mic geronimo Nas biter clone.
before irv gotti did.
