    “I mean, who wants to sit and think about colonialism and slavery and Trump and all the genocides coexisting right now? It’s heavy,” she says. “And it’s a privilege not to have to think about it all the time, or to make my art all about that all the time. I do want to acknowledge that. But sometimes, when you’re going through something difficult, you don’t necessarily want to hear a rap version of your trauma. Maybe you want to hear a song that’s going to bring some levity and some light and some joy.”

    Sounds like we getting Telefone vibes next album

    Chicago rap back then was fire. I remember listening to teléfon, bucket list project by saba and blkswn by smino. i know smino not directly from there but he sound similar

    cole is never getting over that L man. best thing for him and his fans to do is move on and pretend that never happened. nigga spent a whole 15 years giving us “a rapper better not try me” bars just to b**** out when it mattered

    What happened had nothing to do with rap I promise you

    Cole literally said

    in audio form

    I'm a big Cole fan but that was definitely a bad look. He could've easily ignored it too

    damn the backlash got to her

    I mean, if you get consistent backlash for close to a decade, it's probably time to re-evaluate. Not doing so gives mild narcissistic vibes

    Wish her the best

    Wouldn’t call myself a big fan of her music but she def cold when it comes to rapping

    I’ve always respected her artistry and intelligence, artists like her are needed in hip hop rn

    Yeah there's precedent for it and there's nothing wrong with wanting more from the entertaining class.

    I just think it becomes a problem, due to social media and the increase in idol worship and online virtue signaling, where there's people who pick a part artists more than they would politicians. Even taking it as far as getting on artist who are known for using their music as a platform.

    Like Noname does a lot but there were still a lot of people that got on her for not posting anything after oct 7. Even though her stance on Palestine has been known for years by her fans, even in the album she dropped earlier that year.

    It just comes to the point where it's not really productive

    I agree with everything you said

    No Twitter, no need to change the music direction

    Need to be moving Black people away from Twitter not keeping us on that platform.

    I don't get why artist or ppl still use it tbh
