Malcolm-Jamal Warner: “I Stopped Listening to J Cole Because Of His Usage Of “N*gga & B*tch!”

[AAKing23]

Yeah it’s Cole of all people who’s excessive This nikka Cole became Hip Hop’s scapegoat for everything overnight after dropping out of the beef

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Malcolm from a different era. His style of rap ain't have all that

Dude was with superhead

EDIT

it was heather hunter. full blown porn star.

The older I get the more I question why rappers take the platform they're given and choose to promote what they do. J Cole sometimes descends into that but usually he does better and has more to say.

 

[spliz]

Must not fukk wit Paul Mooney as a comedian.

 

[Plankton]

That's not the issue. The issue is damn near EVERY hip-hop (& far too many RnB) track uses 'n1gga/bytch' egregiously which gives non-Black people the idea it's okay and really shouldn't bother any Black people if they say it. It also gives them the impression that's how we communicate to one another regularly.​

LOL. Malcolm didn't say that in the clip. Those are your words. My response was towards what Malcolm said in that clip.

He didn't single out Cole as the only one. He named him an as example because that's who he listened to.

MJW is before this era of music, so I can understand him not liking it. Doubly so with it coming from J. Cole, somebody who I place in the "We don't wanna here you say nikka no morrrrrrrrrrrrre" category myself.

He said 'It's corny.', and it is. He also objected to it being egregiously uttered on songs and should stop, which is the SAME thing I said with a bit of added emphasis on my part explaining why.​

 

[Ol’Otis]

Freaky ass nikka gotta tongue ring

1999. Jigga my nikka. DMX song My nikkaz playing on Any Given Sunday. DMX having a whole song that would later be a video and single called What These B1tches Want from a N1gga featuring R&B singer Sisqo on the hook. Missy Elliots "She's a bytch" and Eve having a song called "My bytches."

This was 25 years ago and there were plenty of other songs. What Malcolm is speaking on is over 25 years after the fact. Stressing it now in 2024 makes it sound like whoever is stressing it just woke up from a 25 year coma.

 

[Mindfield333]

Somebody should recommend Oddisee to him. I didn’t really notice that he either doesn’t or barely curses

 

[AAKing23]

My point still remains, nikkas been shyttin on Cole ridiculously

Now, compare that list you just made with what's 'hot' right now on the hip-hop/RnB charts and tell me how many songs use those terms....

What MJW is speaking on has been a sticking point FOR 30+ years, not after the fact. We BEEN stressing it. It's become damned near impossible to find hip-hop without their use and it's corny.​

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Hip Hop without extremely lewd language..

I don't want it.

It's like clean stand up comedy. Which is also azz.

Hardcore rap is in the category of horror movies, evening news, or true crime.

There's some horrible shyt in there, but it's the same content as the evening news. The news reports on all the worst happenings. Gangsta rap is that same vibe.

I watch John Wick, I play first person shooters, and I bump Geto Boys.

If there's fun entertainment that doesn't contain violence and corruption.. have fun with it. I guarantee Theo plays GTA, watches Mafia movies, or some form of violent entertainment.

Oh you wanna battle.

going back to 1999.

Snoop had two popular singles and videos. One called bytch Please and another called Down 4 My nikkaz

Trick Daddy had a popular song that went "You don't know Nann nikka."

And I can keep going.

But aside from that I agree, it's been an issue for 30 plus years but Malcolm is saying this in 2024. He wasn't known for having a gripe with hip hop 25 years ago. Malcolm went on Def Poetry Jam and did a corny poem with sexual innuendos. He didnt boycott Def Jam which was promoting Jay Z and DMX, he went to the same machine and helped it. The same Def Jam that had Def Comedy Jam which had the N word the B word the F word and every curse word imaginable which contributed to 90s urban culture and it's over the top usage of all the things Malcolm was complaining about. That's Why I keep stressing that he's late all after the fact.
