    Well it's clearly worked for him so i guess he can afford to not be creative.

    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

    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

    -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

    what? if anything whites were the main ones praising TPAB like it was the second coming of jesus

    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

    ? I’m not really a Cole fan outside of a few albums I’m just saying the people are fw it

    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
