    This is elite to niggas who think elite rapping is a bunch of run on, weakly structured flows with nice rhyming and a bunch of multisyllabic words over the most cliched 90s beats you could rap on so you can impress NY oldheads and NPR r/hhh fans

    There’s nothing weakly structured about these flows. These are way beyond what even a skilled rapper could come up with on these beats. The way he elevates these old beats with his modern flow is actually crazy. This is absolutely elite, 20s Cole is the best rapper skill wise ever and reducing it to lyrical miracle is weak imo

    It's a good warm up, I don't want to hear any angsty teen, overly melodic flows on this though.

    It’s like real MCs are proving that they’re not part of this new Carti/Yachty/Gunna/Baby generation, so they go extra heavy on the bars - which I get.

    But it’s like they’re going overboard.

    There needs to be a happy medium

    I hope he doubles down on just pure rapping. I’m good on the singing or him tryna chase a hit.

    Need Middle Child type anthems

    Thats the s*** that personally bugs me. Been known Cole can rap circles around the game since 2016. Why keep trying to prove that and instead show us you can make a great album and great music

    That's ALL I'm saying lmao. It's like Kendrick in 2026 trying to prove to anyone he can rap. Bro, we've see your work and we know what you're capable of. The move now for Cole is the make records that stand out and endure beyond the same "man, Cole is really spitting!" tweets he gets whenever he drops, only for people to move on from the album after 2 weeks. That's the difference-maker and something you can't avoid if you're a mainstream rapper. You need to make records.

  • Nix

    A lot of it doesn't make sense tho. He's far from broke and his tour numbers are fine.

    He's referencing those Aus shows that wasn't selling well or got canceled or whatever it was

    This is some victim mentality s*** if I've ever seen it. No one is expecting Cole to make a 10-week #1 smash hit or a bubble gum pop song. He's made records in the past that had him doing him and they worked. That's all some people wanna see him do again.

    Y'all love acting like records don't matter if you're a mainstream rapper or if you're J. Cole but they always have and they always will. The reason why he still hasn't dropped an album that's stacked up to 2014 FHD in the eyes of the casual mainstream rap listener is because of a lack of records on his albums over the last 12 years.

    YOU are talking about victim mentality?

    nigga get a grip honestly. im not reading past that first line
