f*** it OP is right.
if you black and graduated from NYU we don’t need you to be a rapper with them basic Sociology 101 bars
(if you gon quote me all angry the smart thing to say is he used that to become a black executive and provide jobs for more black ppl and put other less privileged black artists on)
but yeah, college grad rappers are boring it is what it is. no I don’t wanna hear rap or any music from anybody about a decent life lol foh
What’s wrong with rapping about a decent life? This is why I said what I said lol.
You mean multi platinum award winning is the outcome of this? Wow!
Sales and awards don’t matter, it’s about the music bro
Ktt only rap that’s super weird or street s***. If you not experimenting heavily or talking about opps you’re boring.
Ktt luvs drake...gunna....lil baby ?
Mainstream rap is popular here
For the type of rapper Cole is he is nothing but just a above average lyricist. Nothing really too interesting about him or his craft. Just good and regular. Nothing bad I guess
Make a post about how you tired of the same generic trap bullshit or the weirdo rap. This nigga called out Cole of all people. If you are black, you a disgrace to our race boy 🤦🏾♂️
First of all, watch your f***ing mouth cause I got a feeling that you’re actually white telling me I’m a disgrace to my race. And calling me boy? Major no no
Secondly I can’t stand Trap and it’s been that way for awhile now. Did you not see my other posts in this thread? But once again Cole fans have to resort to projecting, putting words in mouths, and downright practicing snooty HBCU Boule (if you are black) condescending double talk.
Ol Joe Biden “you ain’t black” ass
Navy blue in a way raps about the same stuff as Cole But in a more interesting way
There’s tons of “normal” rappers that make compelling music tbh, this thread listed a bunch

tbc j cole is wild rich and has many fans so obviously there’s an audience but the s*** boring to me.
and i’m not saying it has to be guns and killing and b****es only. but gimme anger, jealousy, hope, despair, depression, elation, whatever and make it visceral. that’s what I like from music.
j cole doesn’t give me that and imo it’s harder for ppl who’ve achieved certain conventional standards of success to get there musically.
when I hear j cole I just hear a guy who decided he wanted to be a rapper bc it seemed more fun than being an accountant.
KTT always cries about Twitter being angry and soft yet y’all try and turn every thread into a race war - talking about “thread got racist undertones”.
Nah, Cole is such a notoriously boring ass artist. Frank Ocean down to earth, nobody ever call him boring. Kendrick neither. Doom. The list can go on.
Cole is just a boring artist, hasn’t sonically progressed in a decade whereas all of his peers have attempted to push boundaries.
Beautifully stated
We live for they amusement, like they view us from behind the glass
No matter what we grow into, we never gon' escape our past
need new vince.
White ppl love j Cole so anyone saying white ppl jus wanna see blacks act dumb gotta atleast acknowledge that j Cole Kendrick an dudes like nas are beloved by more white ppl than 99% street rappers
I’m sorry Cole didn’t sell coke or get addicted to lean or live in the ghetto so his music doesn’t tickle your fancy
Craziest thing is he probably grew up more broke than many street rappers
Same with logic

Ok I see where you’re coming from
thats fair. I haven’t seen anyone really go into detail what really make him boring. Respect. I do t agree with the last part tho. To me he’s speaking for people like us, I don’t get those vibes when listening to him.

You clearly haven’t been around college folks, especially at an hbcu. Niggas love Cole more than anything.

‘beloved’
Feel like ya nitpick cole and drake too much and pick out criticisms ya normally let fly by with other artists.
Like I love griselda, jay elect, earl and I'm waiting for pray 4 Haiti to drop tn but sonically a lot of their music isn't that much interesting than Cole's.

Never said he isn't
I'm saying white ppl like j Cole a lot which is a fact. Didn't say they like him more than black ppl
yeah man living a decent life as a black man is uninteresting so the music is boring to non blacks and suburbanites. I totally get it. rap is about d****, calling women b****es, shooting black folk, f*** 12, and allat other real nigga s***. That's interesting af
💯💯💯💯

they dont realize cole's first real fanbase was black women.
A lot of yall don't realize the blog/nerd era was primarily dictated by college kids early. on. the wales, drakes, coles, etc had that fanbase on lock at first and then later on everyone else came lmao. So saying he has a college tint is an odd criticism. then saying he's an hbcu rapper like that's an insult

And for griselda they been rinse and repeating their sound with their latest projects, which is something ya would kill cole for
