You guys are so F@cling funny! Don’t like J Cole but you are here sucking meat cause you want the views. If you don’t like him, why are you reacting to his music. You are so much of a hater you can’t even let the song play a few seconds before trashing it. This guy is a lyrical genius and you clowns are filled with so much hate you can’t not enjoy the artistry in his penmanship. That is too bad, for you.
Apparently Tyler is dropping a new album. Not interested. Haven't liked a single song from him and I checked out everything. Yonkers video was cool that's it for me. All of his other tracks either suck ass or are just average/bland. My main issue is he simply doesn't know how to flow on a beat. He's just awkwardly talking/rambling over his beats with edgy nonsense, or he'll completely abandon the rap bag and make some alternative neo soul/funk R&B like that happened on IGOR. He has a dedicated following though so I give him strong credit for being able to stay relevant for this long, although it's a well known fact that popularity doesn't equate to quality and Tyler just has an effective image to ensure people are perpetually interested in him.
I don’t understand why people do reactions on J. Cole if you’re gonna hate and already had hate on your mind. Wack ish!!! Like he said …y’all want the clicks and views. Lol. COLE still the GOAT!!
there is a TRASH beat that Preemo give to Nas, and it's on the Illmatic! One Time 4 Your Mind is BIG TRASH! but it was made before Preemo fully develope his signature style
I had this album , I was the southern kid that only listened to up north rap. If a new kid moved from up north to Florida I would quickly become friends. Nas made me rap
when i heard hip hop in the 80s and mid 90s this was no doult this was way ahead of other genre of music back then ...today i dont wanna take the piss but its bottom of my list and im not kidding ya.what makes me laugh about all this that the young kids today cant be even bothered and do their history back in the 70s 80s and 90s yes there are one or two but id say at least 90% are jumping on the bandwagon listening to meanstream whats in the cheesy pop charts...the fans today are the problem and around 2000s...thats right i said it.
KSI's song became an internet meme got nothing to do with the quality of the song. If you got a Like/Dislike bar return extension, that vid almost has 2 million dislikes. Both songs are trash though.
I think pac is an overall good artist but he's overrated to me. He's made a lot of classic material but they weren't on the cutting edge level of a Nas, Jay or B.I.G.
14:30 Case in point Born Loser. There are some great sad rap songs that are relatively hopeless tho like You Can Never Feel My Pain and Everyday Struggle - one of earliest emo raps imo😂
@@smelly1060 Scarface and the Geto Boys is the godfather of that kind of Hip-Hop. Mind Playing Tricks and Ever So Clear by Bushwick Bill. A lot of great rappers have dabbled in “emo” rap. Even Big L on How Will I Make It. Shit even Melle Mel said he was about to lose his head on The Message.
the thing is the sample isn’t even “sped up” it’s slowed down but pitched up so it’s literally like the effect of scratching chalkboard with the high pitch moving agonizingly slow At least with “Through The Wire” it’s kinda justified as there was a “movement” of some sort This is just grating to the ear I blame serato sample 🤣💀
The problem with most rappers including J Cole is that they don't have the melodies required to make interesting music. The two J Cole songs I don't mind are "Neighbors" and "Love Yourz" and even then both have their limitations. Love Yourz is rather sleepy and Neighbours similarly has that problem albeit less severe. I can't hear any personality in J Cole's music, all of it is pretty much just written essay (similar to most of Kendrick) and it's unbumpable in the whip. Every time I listen to J Cole, I want to switch to another artist.
@@statmerchant6030 Nobody’s Perfect, Power Trip, Folgers Crystals are some of his better songs, but nothing I’ll go out of my way to play. I notice modern rappers, even ones I like, just lack a certain finesse. Compare them with a dude from the 90s, even underground cats, and the personality difference is stark.
I don't even like J Cole but this guy is so clearly a hater it's unbelievable 😂 This is the stereotypical 90's Hop Hop head that no one likes, and that's not to say some of his points aren't valid, but you've also got a fair amount of nitpicking BS, that you would absolutely find in a Nas, Biggie, Jay or Tupac song. 1. To say that there's no personality in J Cole's music...okay, for the most part I understand, but Kendrick? Are you serious? Have you not heard Backseat Freestyle, Dying of Thirst, Maad City, U? The only way I could come to an agreement with that point on Kendrick would be if you were to say that the personality in those songs feels manufactured, which I would understand to some extent, considering it takes Kendrick a long time to write some of his songs, and he clearly writes them to mean something broader than just his emotions the majority of times, but this leads onto my next point. 2. J Cole doesn't know how to edit. To weigh in with my own perspective, you'll find excess words the quicker something was written. One of the problems with J Cole is I feel like he writes from his heart, which is admirable, although he doesn't check the flaws in his logic and excess words because he's too in tune with his heart if that makes sense, leading him to write with the mentality, "This is from my heart people should hear this", but he doesn't take the critic approach enough, vetting his writing, "This is too wordy, this is a contradiction, this could come off as a diss". On the other sider, Kendrick doesn't know how to edit? Okay. The guy who rapped for a little while for fun is telling me a guy who spends months to years writing songs doesn't know how to edit. So what, does he just write a song in a day and then release it 5 years later? That's just so stupid 😂 3. Bots... Drake uses bots, I don't think J Cole and Kendrick use bots. Lets just entertain the idea that they ALL use bots. So you're telling me without bots, that there's probably five hundred thousand, one/two million people listening to Drake, same amount for Cole, and same amount for Kendrick without bots🤨Do I really need to explain how stupid that point is too? Along with the fact that it, again, comes across as a stereotypical 90s Hip Hop head that no one likes, because they live in nostalgia and can't give credit to anything beyond 2003. 4. "All of that could've been summarised". Bro... you could literally say that about almost every song in Hip Hop ever 😂 Slick Rick, A Children's Story - "Be good or you might go to hell", Tupac, Dear Mama - "Even though we struggled I still love you", Jay Z, 444 - "Sorry to my wife and kids for cheating and not being as compassionate/empathetic as I should've been". Hip Hop would be so boring if everything was just summarised, cmon... J Cole is yapping on this track and I'll never listen to it besides the odd reaction (maybe), but this is just another stupid nitpicking BS point. If everyone summarised everything in Hip Hop then we'd have 5 minute reaction videos listening to scant 10 bar verses till Hip Hop just dies out. Overall, the track is typical J Cole. Fake deep, not much thought into it, trying to change the narrative of him being a b!*ch after years of tough talk, comes across as virtue signalling and self righteous, "I would never beef like these guys" and misses the point of the Drake/Kendrick beef. I don't like the track and I barely listen to J Cole, but at the same time, these 90s Hip Hop head nostalgia merchants are the worst. Born in 2003, I could nitpick the exact same way this guy does with 90s Hip Hop songs. There's nothing wrong with having a preference but I feel like this isn't all too objective and the obvious bias causes the nitpicking.
J-Cole stans are a sensitive bunch. I simply said he sucks in response to this track and people had to start with prejudicial/racial shit. Not my fault their man is trash.
Cole's production just sucks man. There's nothing engaging about the beats he picks or the way he raps. It's all very vanilla and boring. The stuff he said about the bots used in the Drake/Kendrick battle I thought was a good angle and he should have been more direct about the corruption but he wasted the first verse on the track saying nothing and had to show ego for no reason in parts of his commentary. J Cole peaked in the mid 2010s imo and never evolved and just kind of was never able to expand his base.
Yeah but the beef was bullshit and that was what J Cole was trying to say, just couldn't make it into a bumpable track. The Drake/Kendrick beef was some of the corniest shit in hip-hop. J Cole has his issues but to leave the battle made sense. J Cole's music lacks groove and rhythm which is why he don't get spun as much as the others. A better rapper could have made this into a serious joint, J Cole has limitations.
