This is my gripe with Cole and his fans and how other artists similar to Cole get mistreated. This a basic ass line and Cole is heralded as this great lyricist.

Exactly how I feel. I like J Cole but feel he makes average music. Ppl make it seem like you gotta love it or hate it.

J Cole is a genius

Never understood why his quote was of 2Pac on this avi even tho he was a genuine cole stan lol

Cole used that line aswell

all the classic cole memes came out in this thread

Cole has the most basic pen out of the big 3

Didnt know that

But its still a Pac line originally, & cole's a big Pac so

Moments like this make it hard to be a Cole fan. It’s almost like his fans have never heard of a rap record before. Also I hate the notion that his fans have that he’s underrated, meanwhile he sells well every release and is constantly spoken about.

need a fanbase like Coles

they good at gassing

You can't be serious. No one actually thinks these lines are incredible lol

ITS A MEME MAN LOL

I think J. Cole, like Drake / Kendrick / Big Sean and others of his generation are pretty great Lyricists (whatever that actually means in 2021)

Like...I don't even know what "great lyricism" sounds like anymore and most examples of elite lyricism FOR ME are on songs I don't want to hear, so like, what's the point?

A huge part of being a great lyricists I think is being able to create verses that people want to recite, relate to. Cole does that.

Agreed!

They do. Check Twitter. Cole fans swear he is the otherworldly lyricist

Not a good bar ya

lmaooo
too deep for me

Crying

What's up mark cuban I am only part hu man

hate to break it you but most rap fans are cringe

its weird how cole/his fans get clowned for stuff like this but uzi migos carti future type rappers can get away with much simpler bars than would be terrible even for 2011-2012 wayne lol

Crrrineeeeee
