Well it's clearly worked for him so i guess he can afford to not be creative.
The sales argument again
they didnt when it first dropped...they called it critic bait
what?
if anything whites were the main ones praising TPAB like it was the second coming of jesus
This is my big issue with newer/younger hip hop fans. They cling on to this notion that “””experimental””” is the only way something can be good and s*** on anything that is akin to traditional hip hop. Y’all some f***ing lames
jadakiss wouldnt be able to laugh i mean rap in this era.
Anyway cole is interesting when he’s straight rapping for a long verse but gets boring when he tries to get hooks bridges and concepts involved ironically
from the actual hood huh? ok
-Moving across the country to pursue AND achieve a dream
-Blowing up in spite of your label not knowing what to do with you
-Making the decision to do what you want instead of listening to industry marketing
Hell of a story
and then he also got songs about his mom’s addiction and his best friend dying and s***... nobody’s life is “boring” but cole really bears out situations you don’t hear all the time so it’s even dumber for him
Cole fans using that is crazy
? I’m not really a Cole fan outside of a few albums I’m just saying the people are fw it
The sales argument again
what other way is there for us to discuss this? If it doesn't work for you, okay, that's fine. Just say that. But you posted a generality. I find wutang to be trash im not gonna deny their bullshit music working when they have a global presence
what?

GKMC is 4x platinum
DAMN is 5x Platinum
TPAB is 1x platinum
are you saying black people are making up the difference?
they arent
white critics praised all three albums as well.
most of kendricks peers praised all three albums as well
white casual fans are the ones that called it critic bait. lol

It's just funny either way to see people use sales to defend Cole considering how he and his fanbase are about them

All these dudes laid the roots to allow hip hop to be the prominent genre man. J Cole follows that mold, but that doesn’t make him or his music any lesser because he’s not doing s*** that Carti or Uzi is doin. Experimental is literally one of my most despised words on here
its not about the content, its about how you convey it
thats what people on both sides ITT are forgetting
It's just funny either way to see people use sales to defend Cole considering how he and his fanbase are about them
Huh I’m not talking about charts or sales 😭 I’m saying the random mfs I see on Instagram and Twitter and the cars I pull up next to are enjoying this record lol

So anything that sells shouldnt be criticized?
saying that and calling it HBCU raps has me crying if he's white
that's bold as hell lmaooo
@op gotta post a hand pic at this point
