J Cole makes dumbed down easy listening rap. Some people like it, some don’t. And it’s ok
Can you name some?
Sun Kil Moon
Kate Bush
Bruce Springsteen
Earl Sweatshirt
MF Doom
Vampire Weekend
Fiona Apple
I don’t agree with OP’s tone but there is “slight” truth to this. One critic I have about this album despite loving it is the fact we are 6 albums in and he’s still regurgitating the same s*** about having to grow scrapping first couple times clapping cheeks, etc. it’s relatable in some instances, but I feel like I hear it every album
It’s because he’s uninteresting, plain simple. Everyone just wants to tap dance around it and word it nicely due to fear from Cole’s VERY vocal fan base.
But can we really dismiss a whole decade of the same complaints? Where there’s smoke there’s fire

Thank you bruh. Like I really don’t get it
I would say it’s when you’re a talented rapper but not especially creative
jcole definitely not a creative person nor does he have the ability to push a genre forward. he kinda did that with forest hills drive but otherwise no.

You could argue that for a lot of artists KTT hypes lol
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Cole hater. I preordere FHD and it’s the only Cole album I own/can listen to. Enough is enough at some point though. Dude’s career is just extremely lackluster to me
No one on this website has EVER heard an 88GLAM song, and if they did they're LYING
There's ZERO proof that they actually exist outside of this guys avy![]()
No offense to anyone on this website who claims to be an 88GLAM fan, this isn't a hate thread (I don't do those)
This is just facts
If anyone comes up to you irl and starts talking about this "88GLAM" just know that your life is probably in dange
what the f***ing hell is this post
j cole isn’t on some insane narrative tbh but i feel like he got an honesty and transparency that some artists don’t
like he’s not hiding from a lot of s***
more humility than many other rappers
Sun Kil Moon
Kate Bush
Bruce Springsteen

I meant rappers but lol alright i see where these critics come from

That's actually super dope.

Then stop listening to him
Yall dont understand how dumb yall look calling a rapper boring when yall been listening to everything he dropped for a straight decade
plenty of rappers that lived wild lives but can't make good music. It's not about their life, it's about their creativity.
Maybe he should date several of instasmodels and beef with them after the breakup... or be involved in shootings, maybe that would make him interesting for you.
i would like him more if his fans didn’t praise him as some lyrical god and an intellectual when he only says surface level s***
It's all about the flow with Cole. Top 1 flow if you take into account the variety if beats he can go on if we being real
