The title of J. Cole's debut album hits different now. It was a self fulfilling prophecy, because he really has turned himself into a sideline story.
still best album of the past 30 years
Chartdata adding some fire
Nas dropped every year in that time frameJigga didn't underestimate Nas
He knows Nas is a better MC than him
He overestimated the Love he had. He never got the Love Nas got or admiration
That's why Nas was able to drop ever 3 or 4 years back then....just like KDot does
He did something that he later regretted which is why he apologized. Wouldn't it be lame if he felt that way but DIDN'T apologize?
The logic on display is simply puzzling, until I factor in that most people here aren't interested in anything beyond seeing the parties trade blows for their entertainment, that's when everything falls into place.
Suuure.Drake don’t give a fukk about being “alone” with this shyt. The bytch is J. Cole… Drake gon’ stand up… he had more to shoot at regardless. He’ll be aight. Stop deflecting from Cole being a sucka. Keep it right where it’s at.
you clearly never been to Fayetteville.Cole is a white boy who uses the Nword excessively in his music to come off as "tough" & "down".
I've been seen right through Cole (not taking anything away from his lyrical ability...he's extremely talented).
Cole isn't bout dat life AT ALL but he uses the NWORD in his lyrics excessively to sound like he's "hood".
I get the same vibe from Joyner Lucas also.
2 whiteboys who overcompensate with the Nword to sound tough.
I never bought into it.
You nikkas who keep tryna act like we're not allowed to be disappointed in Cole for this really need to sit this one out.
See two rappers go ahead to head isn't unlike any sports matchup. We watch to see the best of the best go at it and as long as violence stays out the mix, everything is all good. I'm not sure why y'all keep tryna lump that in with your run of the mill gossipy shyt, acting like we just want mess. We want BARS. Nothing more, nothing less.

For all of the sports analogies and references in his verses, to the theme and arc of his featured projects, for people to come in here and act like this move is acceptable in the spirit of competition is pathetic.
He has been in the gym, ready to spar, ready to prove he's the best. He's tied and mirrored rap to basketball and sport since he popped up on the scene. Ridiculous
