J cole is the type of guy that wants to have his feet in both worlds. He wants to be respected by the hip hop heads, but at the same time wants to make music for the trap/pop fans and be in their world too. It's quite confusing
Sounds like what people used to say about Nas…
Cole has proven himself a well rounded individual as an artist. He can do both. And has proven he can do it a tad bit more successfully than even Kendrick.
