WASHINGTON POST GOING IN ON JCOLE FOR NO REASON

[Bald Head Ba$tard]

Kendrick dropped a Platinum album with One Rap Feature and it was by a Female (who killed it) at that.



Why you in your feelings?

No feelings caught. However, you didn't need to give details about the K. Dot

nikkas be knowing mane. You chill

Yeah, but you're an anomaly in your age group. People in my age group blew J. Cole up and then it trickled down to those younger than us and persists with those in their late teens to the whole college-grad student group. He sells because his fanbase actually has money and invests in him as a person because he embodies them to some way. He also put on some dope projects (I'm a fan). But to someone not cut from that, they don't understand his appeal. Most J. Cole haters are old heads if you ever notice. No one 30 or below hates on J. Cole. On the flip side, I think they overrate Kendrick because of safe-rebellious raps. I'm a fan of him too, but it's wild. Cole will be here awhile because his fanbase identifies with him and will grow with him. This is why his last project sold more than K. Dot's -- without the commercial singles and hype as savior, it came down more to core fanbases and J. Cole's core fanbase is larger. J. Cole is bigger than Kendrick everywhere BUT the West Coast.

Everyone I know in my age group fukks with him too though...not as much as younger folks I'm sure because we are forced to compare him to the 80's and 90's. But he's well-received from the mid-30's crowd. He's not groundbreaking or on any top anything all time list, but he's a respectable artist who puts out solid material. Most people I know my age feel the same way. I don't hear anybody hating on him until I check the coli.

the white critics really love and want to protect Kendrick since he dropped this album.

as far as Coles doc;
the documentary does a real good job of showing that Cole is actually not as boring as everybody thinks....

Like I said, he's like a watered down Blu, and probably will never have a project better than BTH.

If you wanna go with one of his contemporaries I'll say Big Krit. I consider somebody like Homeboy sandman in that lane too.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha homeboy sandman hahahHHHahHHHHahAhahahahahahahahahahaha
