WASHINGTON POST GOING IN ON JCOLE FOR NO REASON

[spliz]

Where is Blu?

On drugs.

 

[Asicz]

J. Cole is way more charismatic that's why.

 

[spliz]

Dude it would be INFINITELY better...J Cole just has this weird presence that just commands normal people to call out how odd it all is.

Man shut up. U stay hating on this nikka and I run across more Cole fans in real life than Kendrick. Either way both these nikkas deserve props.

 

[Harry B]

J. Cole went platinum, has not engaged in any rap fukkery, is educated, has been out in these streets riding for our people, did a nationwide stadium tour and she's asking why they are covering him? Because white media aren't trying to put on for him, that's why she's questioning him.

And lol @ her being black giving her any type of credibility. She had to go out to places to find people that likes J. Cole any normal black person could just hit up any of their close friends and at least one could tell her.

 

[TheNig]

Did a white person write this?

 

[CarltonJunior]

Wow. It like Kendrick that boy in kindergarten with a gold star every teacha want to protect. I've never seen so much shyttin on Cole in the past few weeks. All ppl do is compare him to Kendrick. I gotta wonder how Cole and his team feels about this.

He doesn't give a shyt, Cole and Kendrick have been friends since before both of them blew up

 

[I-Hate-You]

Not the biggest Cole fan, but was happy to see him get this look. Mainly because he wasn't the obvious choice for something like this and it's a win for the culture.

It doesn't have to be an either/or type of thing. HBO doesn't choose between U2 and Coldplay...both get specials. Could have been something like "hey, this is cool. Hopefully we see the same opportunity extended to brothas like Kendrick, etc."

Lame.

Plenty of "every man" type artists that are more interesting than Nap King Cole.

Blu should have been occupying his lane.

Like who?

 

[SunZoo]

Like who?

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.

 

[USSInsiders]

fukk both of these boring ass fakkits.

Presidential Push >>>>

V-A-D-O >>>>

Freddie Gibbs>>>>

All his albums are better than BTH to me. BTH is the definition of boring to me but whatever.

You can say whatever you want about Cole being boring or whatever, but obviously a lot of people fukk with dude because he sells a lot of records and has lasted a while in hip-hop years. He's doing something that makes him compelling to a fan base.

The Washigton Post stays giving Young Thug is props...

 

[NV-ME]

just watched the first ep, and all i can say is whoever wrote this has probably had an agenda about cole and is just mad that he's on the shortlist of most successful artists of this generation.

moreover it just screams "IM OLD." white or black is irrelevant. old and not understanding will always be a part of music. this is that. OLD

 

[ISO]

Cole has more fans and is a bigger artist than Kendrick even though Kendrick makes better projects...

I don't understand this article and hate how the media rides Kendrick's dikk. I think Cole is more charismatic than given credit for on here.

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

Nobody has ever gave a fukk about Blu, ever. You nikkas are ridiculous with this J. Cole and Blu bullshyt.

 

[Still Benefited]

Typical divide n conquer strategy...

What was the actual purpose of that statement???

Whever J Cole is bought up,people seem to say "I like Kendrick better" or "I like Drake better"....I don't think I've ever seen anything like it,it happens consistently

I don't know what it is about J cole that makes people feel the neeed to say they like 2 different nikkas more,I don't think I've ever heard anybody just say "Nah I don't like J Cole",they always gotta add in how Kendrick or Drake is better

I don't know if that's a bad thing,or a good thing saying he's on the heels of both of them,in two completely separate lanes
