A bunch of cornballs who over think everything. "But he's not as lyrical as Lupe, or sang better than drake" but some how his connection wit his fan add is stronger
I just wish he was as good as HE wants/claims to be
His career still blows my mind at times...
Drop a better album then....

All the music plays on the same device what's the difference?

Yeah Born Sinner is hated on the internet hardcore to point where his second album is becoming underrated. Born Sinner was an album filled with great to good songs. Not one bad track on it. Cole's wackest album was his first one.

Why did they want him of the tour?Cool interview. So I am guessing it was live Nation who wanted YG off the tour. Good on Cole for going to bat for YG.

I trained Sheng Long and Shonuff
That's cause J Cole been nice. He tried to tell y'all
Now uh uh apparently, some of y’all comparing me
Either you blind as hell or either you just don’t care to see
Don’t make me pull the trigger I think you nikkas is daring me
Go fukk around and get your new favorite rapper embarrassed, see
I’m the supplier of that fire and the kerosene
Don’t wanna make a scene, those ain't no shots fired
Just know the shyt that I’m dropping, take you a lot higher
These nikkas bytches on the low, they Mrs. Doubtfire
How can you doubt fire, man if you brave enough then come put it out Sire
The South by your side, this the mouth for your eyes
You nikkas spit it with no one to vouch for your lies
I spit it how you see it, but ain't had the words to say it
I spit it how you think it but ain't had the balls to speak it
I put it out, sit around and let the world critique it
Abd to the fans up on it early like a nikka leaked it
Just know you fukking with the best, this be our little secret
Until the world find out and then y’all gotta share me
Til then just know there's nothing like him and there's nothing near me
Yeah you fukking hear me, nikka
Yeah, yeh

Cole is boring as hell lol, kind of how unless you were older back in the day you weren't checking for Nas and were probably more into Jay and Big, because Nas was a little too deep that you have to be in a certain mind frame to understand. Thing is Cole aint deep just boring, the kid can rap but his songs put me to sleep. I think he could maybe do better on someone else production,but he may be too used to rapping over his own beats.

Cole is dope.

I'm as big a J. Cole advocate as anyone, but you guys are going to have to accept at some point that many of the very people criticizing J. Cole were the ones who loved him in the first place. He's simply never topped Friday Night Lights. Do you have any idea how many people I know that bought Cole's album because 2014 was generally wack and because of the racial turmoil in America at the time? They don't even listen to it anymore. When I hear FHD, all I think is that Chance the Rapper should be the one singing this song or rapping this verse. You can see where Chance was part of that creative process or inspired it. He's not a better lyricist than Cole but he's a better harmonizer. J. Cole is that dude that many people support because his presence is necessary in the game, and because of his past work and what they believe he represents. That's a substantial portion of his support, but quietly they're wondering how this dude is getting bigger while he has yet to drop a truly great album (though the gap between him and Kendrick is exaggerated). I just never says hit because cats get defensive when you offer any critique that isn't on the dope/wack dichotomy. If you ever pay attention, the loudest critics of J. Cole are people that want him to be as great as he was on his mixtapes and are not satisfied that he hasn't had one album come close (like me).
Look at the production on Surf, I just think this is what he should be rapping over.

I disagree born sinner and 2014 is just as good as fnl. And I been a fan since December of 08.
I don't he needed chance at all, the stuff he harmonized when perfect wit the feel of the album, it wasn't meant to be on key, it was meant to display pain, chance would have not been able to pull that off wit his quirky Drug addict voice.
Breh people don't listen to anything past 2-3 months. I know way more people who listen to FHD than TPBF. That doesn't mean TPBF is wack, people just have short attention span. And I'm sorry this album connects people, I don't buy the 2014 was slow so that why it sold, it sold cause it connects, if it didn't connect nobody would have went to his shows in 2015 when other albums have dropped. But some how he did a sold out small venue Tour and is doing a sold out arena tour.
And at the small venue tours to see who the real fans are, they know every word make or female
Don't see how you could say this. He's improved upon every release. Production is lightyears ahead of what he's done in the past, and lyrics still on point.
I think yall fell in love with where he was at, at that point in his life cause you could relate (recent college grad, conscious of social issues, yet conflicted) now he's grown past that, and he's not giving you that feel anymore
