Spread the hate around since I've spent quite some time shytting on Kendrick (as necessary).
How do people actually listen to this bland half-negro? The dude is a straight up Roc Nation product. Him and Drake are the original boy band rappers.
First time I heard of J Snore, he had released the Simba video. I thought: "Lion fukking King? that's what's hot in the streets right now?!" Lo and behold, corny youngins around me ate that shyt up. I was confused. They were entranced by the video and his lightskinnedness
Then (or around that time) he got affiliated with Hov and the typical "hip hop savior" campaign went into overdrive. Despite having a spot on Blueprint 3, Cole wasn't popping yet. Until he released two shyt mixtapes full of classic beats. Then all of a sudden, he was "the new Nas" and a "deep sociopolitical thinker".
Despite only rapping about two things: The come-up and how he could get your girl to give him brains.
First of all, how are you even considered a dope rapper if you've never blown up based on original production? I heard more buzz about the "Dead Presidents", "Too Deep For the Intro" and "Best Friend" more than any original Cole track. With the exception of "In the Morning", which featured an early Drake stimulus package (someone needs to make a thread about Drake's Obama-like tendencies). Those freestyles were garbage as is 99.9% of Cole's material.
Almost everything I've heard since then follows the same tired formula. Basic 'real' topics executed in the blandest way with RnB-ish tendencies.
Bland beats, bland flow and shyt rhymes = J Cole.
