Yeah man. In my near 50 years of life I got my rap tastes and views from Reddit and that's why I think J Cole is just okay compared to a bunch of other rappers I've listened to.

Y'all Cole fans something else forreal lol

Blue Lips >>> J Cole's last four projects

This site memes him and hates him because of the Kanye s*** but he’s always been a great technical rapper. His issue was always his albums fell a little short creatively and people on this site want artists to reinvent themselves every album. He’s easily still a great rapper

Nothing happened to Cole. He’s always been mediocre. Never had a remarkable verse. It’s y’all that gassed him up to legend status. The way he handled beef got yall looking at him different but he’s always been lame

boring rapper with nothing to say

2014 forest hills drive major classic though :banderas:

middle child his biggest recent hit and that came and went like autumn wind

Fam that song is diamond

furthermore

Made a lil' tune called "Foldin Clothes", and a nigga still ain't known to fold under pressure

i havent heard it been played since around the time it dropped

mever said its not big

Y’all haven’t said anything about his 7- year run but as soon as he writes a horrible feature, he’s back to being terrible rapper

You said it came and went like autumn wind which is objectively not true since it’s his second biggest song ever even if you personally didn’t hear it like that

KTT the same site that would tell me Cole is mid, but then turn around and try to tell me that Big Sean was a Big 3 tier artist

I’m listening to Big Sean before I turn on Cole

I'm listening to Hot Karl before I'm listening to Sean

Ass ass ass ass ass ass stop

now make that mf hammer time !

theres plenty of highly succesful songs that lack cultural impact, but i'm sure with ur avi that song has plenty of quotables that are meaningful for u

no one would say that here lol

hes been coasting off the success of FHD

tryna pretend to be everyones uncle did not help the perception of his persona either, he seems like a decent dude, there's just something "everyman" about his raps that a lot of ppl can't appeal to and a lot of ppl really gravitate towards

closest he got to that unanimous love and reception moment is fhd and i think hes ok with that

i'd love to be suprised but he waited too long to drop the fall off, now hip hop is in a slow decline and the opportunity to have a huge rap hit is slim outside memes (not like us popularity is based off beef and a minor line lets be real)

and we know hes not gonna make a huge meme song so likeeee
