I hate when rappers do this its so corny

Nobody told you to say u were retiring

Including him so him doing a whole fake retirement was corny

He knew damn well he wasnt gonna retire

I’m not mad at him for not retiring tho, theres literally 0 reason for him to retire

hov did it better

J. Cole is the ultimate example of the rapper shaped by the signifier. J. Cole is a man seen only in group photos; lost in a Big Three he is a third of a third of a third. You start with Kendrick, the wholesome Pulitzer-winning lyrical superman, you reflect him to create Cole, the same thing but slightly less. You invert Kendrick to create Drake, rap turned septic and streaming-optimized, then you reflect the inversion in the reflection; you create a rapper who can only exist in reference to others. J. Cole is the true middle child, without the rappers he features with, disses and apologizes to he has no reason to exist. J. Cole’s identity only comes from what and who he isn’t, and without a wider frame of reference he is nothing. He is not his own man. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships to brands and commerce we are all J. Cole.

I will be very surprised if joe budden raps again

Needs to drop an apology for his retirement claims and then an apology for his Kendrick apology and all will be forgiven

Frank still hasn’t dropped one decade later but Cole keeps dropping

Who thought he would actually retire

Track 6 Let ktt2 down

yap yap yap

no one mad he not retiring

they mad he pointlessly lied to make a whole ordeal about it .. & all for sum mid ass music

he think he jay-z
