exactly..I would dead ass make these nikkas scared to even review my shyt..the shyt these white people get away with in hip hop these days is unbelievable...dude should be fired off rip....unprofessional as fukk..
They are hoping these reviews open them up to another market. I have a hard time reconciling the fact that rap as I know it, is dead. That rebellious energy is gone.

Wanted to like the album just cause Cole is a standup dude... Actually respect him on a personal level more than probably 95% of all rappers.. But the album was a chore to get through.. Coles rapping, as nondescript as it may be at times, wasn't the main problem for me though... It's the tone musically and the sing song hooks that make the shyt sound like a after school special or something ... I'd say it bored me, but that seems to off limits.. I tend to like his features more than his albums

Basically.
J Cole seems to be a real ass nikka so I decide to cut back on my slander of dude.
But he's just not that good an emcee, like he's capable technically, like he read a book on how to be a good rapper, but most of the time he's just missing "it"

And it seems females are the only thing he really can rap passionately about, that why shyt like Power Trip and Crooked Smile are he biggest songs.

thats your opinion, but feel his passion on all type of songs from him, and what other type of song will a artist like j cole push to the radio, he not making no turn up songs, thats not his lane at all. and crooked smile isnt about women, its about anybody being comfortable with your flaws, like he feels his fukked up teeth is one of his flaws

Second verse was pandering to insecure women, that was the best verse of the song. 3rd verse was all over the place.

it had 3 verses tho, 1/3rd of a song doesnt make the song about women, regardless of how u feel about the rest of the songs. and aint no song getting any promotion to be on the radio unless is about women or turning up, the slight songs might slip thru the cracks like "swimming pools" that have a sub message that most of the people who bumping dont catch or dont care to catch, but it still can be played as a turn up son

Not even a J Cole fan but I do understand why rappers be wanting to bust these nerd blog nikkas all in they mouth.

If I was a rapper I'd be cracking these nikkas over the head all the time.

Nah, I would sue them or cripple them on some Taliban shyt. :lolbron:

ive been saying the same thing about j.cole from jump. hes the epitomy of a struggle rapper.

but yea, you shouldnt be going into a review with that type of attitude. thats ignorant. and yea, its prolly personal on dude's end.

i'd take action if i was cole.

These cacs are getting nervous aftrr he brutally ethered Iggy, Em, and Macklemore :lupe::lupe:


what he say?
