all things considered, It's easy to criticize when you've been set up to win your entire career.
And NO, that's not me saying Cole had it easy or was an industry plant so ya'll can toss that out the window right now.. Cole had to work his way into the position he's in like everyone else..
And let's be real, J. Cole has never been Kendrick. He doesn't get unanimous acclaim, if anything he gets fair to average acclaim from critics.. but one thing J. Cole does have and clearly judging from album sells, he's had it from day one.. is support. Fan support, label support, etc. Wale has never had that, especially on a Cole level.
Cole was set up to win from day 1, he's never faced the type of adversity and scrutiny that Wale has..
It's easy to tell someone to stop complaining when you're going triple platinum and selling out arenas. Meanwhile the person you're telling to stop complaining is battling label heads to even get a project out, receiving zero support and on top of that being scrutinized and poked at by fans and critics alike.
shyts like Lebron telling Demarcus Cousins to stop complaining and be happy he's in the NBA doing what he loves to do, completely dismissing the fact that his team is a laughing stock and completely undermining his skill by failing to put quality pieces around him and setting him up for success... and on top of that, is constantly being talked down upon by analysts for everything but what he's being paid to do, which is play basketball. Meanwhile, you're a multiple time mvp and NBA champion
It's like bruh, your situation is not mine. fukk outta here..
