Are you speaking about NO features situation? Beside that his rhymes are simple as you need to relate and as 🔥 as beat requires to provide you understanding that he is a GOAT
Because it is not! No way im gonna put that album along side true classics. The production, concept, hooks and lyrics are not elite. «Wet dreamz» is cringy. Also, the whole «platinum W/out features» does not make it a classic. Jay, Ye, Em, Drake, and Kendrick could all easily go platinum without features if they actually wanted to. Features are what made a lot of classics, classic.
A thing that’s always differentiated Cole from Kendrick to me is that Cole has no help. He makes his decisions musically on his own. Little to no help. He really has no mentors. Which is why he might not hit the mark sometimes. Emphasis on “sometimes” tho. He takes chances on himself. He does his own producing and barely ever has any features. This makes everything he does that’s great so much more special, he does it all on his own. That makes me respect him in a different way than Kendrick. Kendrick has mentors and a whole team with him. Dr. Dre, Top Dawg, Jay Rock as a big bro figure. He came in with a whole team that helps him make sure he makes consistently top tier music. so I think that’s why Kendrick has appeared more “perfect” than Cole. That doesn’t take away from Kendrick’s obvious greatness tho cuz Kendrick still writes his own raps and comes up with his own concepts. Just has others to help him perfect it. Just a thought that I hope makes sense to everybody.
It's like Prince and MJ. MJ was a genius. Prince was on the same court without any of the support Michael got. I say that to say I see what you mean. But. Cole got alot of the same cosigns an knowledge kendrick did. We can let him be simba right now. But kendrick deserves his crowned status as well.
Such a good fucking point yo! I been preaching that for years! If Cole was signed to TDE he would a completely different rapper. And not every artists can have arguably the Greatest Producer/Mind in Hip-Hop History as they mentor (Dr. Dre)
Cole has humility and understands that he is not a monolith. He knows he’s so far from perfect, and because he’s human, he’s capable of evil. That’s what makes him a role model, that’s what makes him the person to look up too.
Tee Gee your points are all valid. Just would change that he way above average. Like all star for sure. Just never sold on HOF status u know. Like I loved come up, warm up and Friday night lights when I was in hs. And then all his comercial releases were (excluding 2014 FHD) ,on average, mediocre. But before “intellectuals” attack me this is just imo ... also I saw a tweet that read “j Cole feminism is him not cheating on his girl anymore” 😂😂
Great points, although Cole’s tweet not seeing himself as a leader is focused on being a leader of BLM and not music. He definitely sees himself as a leader of rap hence his work with Dreamville and the 1985 jam.
Kimmminem West How? By being humble for what he does? Or for speaking the truth and not giving a fuck what people think? Quit hating lil bruh Cole is a legend
Kimmminem West so Cole giving money to his mother, the woman that birth him and raised him, is wrong because she’s white? Uhh ok I guess. And you say that he wrote a diss track to a black woman which he didn’t and stated along with his camp especially since it was more so of a constructive criticism which he offered ways to help give out her message more clearly. And he even shouted her out and told people to follow her on Twitter after the release. And when Noname created her diss track, she ended up regretting it which she stated. But hey go off what do I know.
J.Cole careers is moving great, every artist dreams of reaching these heights of relevances. Considering its 2k20 and he’s still able to generate a buzz. He sign his record deal in 2009, making this his 11th seasons. Average music careers usually only last like 5yrs max for most musicians.
Dig the new format you deserve a little bit of spotlight you've been putting out consistant great work for years now with little recognition and not even asking for it. Respect
Everytime I heard his voice I pictured a very dark skinned medium skinny guy who wears glasses , I see now that in reality this was the very opposite . Happy though non the less , keep feeding us good content .
I first listened to J.Cole's Workout when it first came out, it was so different from his work today. Workout was a song made to be like any other boring repetitive songs to be on the top chart. His work today is so much more meaningful and interesting to listen to, and I'm glad that he followed his own path.
4 your eyez only was Cole's Magnum Opus. Front to back classic that takes you through the struggles of fame, acceptance and evolution while also providing an intimate and often times private view of the struggles of being rich and famous while others you love and cherish are still shoving their nose to the grindstone of wealth and success. Lyrically challenging and often over looked, this album forces the listener to understand what the common people of the black community struggle through day to day. And I cant thank him enough.
Honestly, regardless of format. You’re videos are so fucking well written and the subjects are so original compared to the same old buzz word topics. And even when you go into a mainstream topic you tackle it in a great way. Please keep on.
Nah..there are plenty artists out here you just gotta know where to look. Rapsody (her new album is fire), Big Krit, Locksmith, Joey BadA$$ just to name a few
That's legitimately the most casual, stupid, somewhat popular take of the last 5+ years. The 2010s were easily the most diverse and creative decade ever for rap. From thematic/conceptual depth to experimental hip hop and everything in between (Gibbs and the Griselda crew with gangsta rap, Thug, Travis and Future with trap music, etc.) rap has been in a GREAT place for a while now. Earl Sweatshirt, Big K.R.I.T, Tyler the Creator, Freddie Gibbs, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Vince Staples, Quelle Chris, JPEGMAFIA, Isaiah Rashad, Joey Bada$$, Slauson Malone, Saba, Danny Brown, ScHoolboy Q, Denzel Curry, Run The Jewels, Lupe Fiasco, BROCKHAMPTON, Injury Reserve, Open Mike Eagle, Lil Ugly Mane, Noname, Rapsody, Pusha T, Billy Woods, Kanye West, Mavi, MC Ride, J.I.D, Royce da 5'9, Boldy James, Conway The Machine, Black Thought. Literally every single guy I mentioned can make the argument that are MUCH better artists than Cole, and a bunch of them have inarguably a better discography.
And that's the saddest part of it. 😭 But who cares he knows what he did, he's one of the best of all time and he got the bag. I think he is pretty good 👌
Cole is the most polarizing artist last decade nothing he can do at this time to change people minds to like him The Fall Off can be a universal classic people still going to say its trash as a Cole fan i accept the fact Cole will always be not viewed as of the likes of Drake or Kendrick
I'd disagree man, Cole isn't polarizing. They just keep comparing him to Kendrick, and he doesn't fall short, but a lot of people seem to think Cole is not as good. For some reasons. If anything, I'd say Drake and Kanye are the most polarizing artists in hip hop. Cole is universally liked, there's really nothing bad to say about the guy
Nazhad Farook Yaa Kanye has like a cult following for him, and drake being him has a special kind of following, especially here in canada. Both of them in my opinion aren’t as good as cole, but cole isn’t as public as they are about anything.
Sergio Bitar Man don’t even compare Cole to Kanye tf. Kanye is one the GOATs, J Cole makes music for insomniacs and basic corny bars. If a bunch of retarded drug addicts can understand the “deep” music he makes, then his messages are so deep enough for a 3rd grader to write
2JZ-GTE I didn’t say any of that did I? I simply stated my opinion, didn’t I? Go ride Kanye’s indecise, ludicrous d. Come back to me when cole says anything half as dumb as the crap Kanye’s been saying his entire life. Acting like he didn’t spew absolute nonsense in that speech the other day. 🤡
No I Like The Original Format, That's Why I Like Blacky Speaks So Much It Doesn't Matter If I See You Or Not All That Matters Is The Accuracy Of The Information. The Message Of The Video.
i appreciate that you speak clear and concise unlike these other hip-hop channels but turn up your mic a bit. you have a very bass-y voice so it blends a little too well with the background music
Critiques called him boring/preachy because they had nothing to stab his character/cut his career with to misconstrue and fit their narrative till his exchange with noname.
Im just gonna say this. J.Cole is and has been a top tier Lyricist/ Artist for his whole career. A Unique Perspective, Someone who praises the culture. Hes only "AVERAGE" when compared to People like Nas, Kdot, 2pac , 3k People who are literally THE BEST AT HIPHOP, That alone shows his his place/Impact in hiphop. This next album has Classic written all over it and if it is then its gonna be hard to deny Coles Greatness.
MrSpliffstarz So even though his albums and Kendrick albums have literally been ranked around the same. OG’s describing them both as literally legends and giving them blessings, he’s still not? What did Cole do to y’all bro?
konkai wa It’s wild how people say the same. I mean if you don’t like Cole just say it. Cole is literally the Kobe of the rap game. No matter how many OG’s gives this man his praises and ranks him in Tier 1 people always rain on it and I don’t understand. I’m just glad he’s on of my favorite rappers out right now wit Smino and Kendrick.
yeah I agree The Fall Off sounds like a classic hip hop album but the samples used in Lion King On Ice are a bit bad it seems like Cole is going for a more ASTROWORLD and Rodeo album KOD to me was Birds In The Trap It was full of trap and it seems like it is going away in The Fall Off
J cole never left the “come up” phase, forever making music from that perspective. I feel like that was enticing when it was sincere, but it feels played out now and it feels like he’s still beating the same dead horse til this day. It’s worked out for him number wise, but yeah, haven’t been able to fully enjoy a project from him since FNL because of that.
Cole is a simplistic individual,true transparency is his who he is,he's the epitome of it. He's unparalleled,his art must touch others,his art must assist others through this diabolical planet. He won't comprise in order to appease,those who lack perspective. And I for one appreciate that completely.
You got J Cole correct. One exception, J Cole is an avid reader. He has a book club for the boys and girls of Fayetteville, NC. He was president of African American Studies at St. John's University. His book club is free. Check out the "Dreamville Foundation". He also heads a charity in Fayetteville for children that haven't got mothers or fathers. I think he said that to No Name because he is humble and didn't want to make her feel bad. They knew each other. When he searched her timeline, he found that she was calling Black men that did not protect Black transgender women as KKKs. She has/had a great deal of hostility for Black men. Cole didn't respond for himself, but for the Black men who were not able to respond for themselves. He is not a leader, he is a healer.
No it's because he failed miserably at communicating a fairly straightforward message, dropping a song at the worst possible time. Snow on tha bluff is like The Blacker the Berry in the sense that he recognises the injustice around him and is aware he could be doing much more, but his silence or passiveness causes him to feel guilt. It was just executed terribly and dropped at a awful time
Its sad but i think J cole will be appreciated more in hindsight!! He goes over peoples heads because hes an incredibly intelligent lyricist! He hasnt dummed down his craft for popularity or compromised the messages in his music, and he should be respected for that !
look at this perspective, Cole already said that he reguarded some songs for put on The fall off, i really think that he will top 2014 FHD album, and the fall of could be his door for all greats undoubtedly
J cole suffers from the martyr syndrome. Meaning he is too humble to see how much he has done and continuously does for his community. So he keeps giving more and more until nothing is left but a sense of empty-ness.

Finally someone can watch a piece of media without bringing race into

"Consistently dropped quality content"
Hell nah

J cole had the best collabs last year and he has his crew of spitters, if anything he did grow and made his lane for real
Are you speaking about NO features situation? Beside that his rhymes are simple as you need to relate and as 🔥 as beat requires to provide you understanding that he is a GOAT
J.cole been solid since day one and has nothing else to prove or do he made greatness in both generations and solidify his career.
Why do we keep acting like Forest Hills Drive not a classic???
Didnt it go plat with no features too? 0 skips on that album although it can feel slow at times still a classic in my mind
@Red HawK13 But it is a classic to EVERYONE
Red HawK13 what does that even mean lol
Cedric Dashiell II it should be
Because it is not! No way im gonna put that album along side true classics. The production, concept, hooks and lyrics are not elite. «Wet dreamz» is cringy.

King notes
It's like Prince and MJ.
MJ was a genius.
Prince was on the same court without any of the support Michael got.
I say that to say I see what you mean.
But. Cole got alot of the same cosigns an knowledge kendrick did.
We can let him be simba right now.
But kendrick deserves his crowned status as well.

Finally a face to the voice!
Yooo 🚫🧢
He sounds like dawg from hiphop dx “iiiiight”
I honestly thought he was black. The voice threw me.
I thought it was Murs
Literally was literally was like who the fuck is this , til I closed my eyes 👀
2014 Forest Hills Drive is a modern classic.
Nah it’s a classic
I think it’s just a good album
GOAT of hip hop albums for me
@Red HawK13 let him like what he likes. It aint hurting nobody😂
Red HawK13 “mUsiC ThEOrY cLAsS”
Cole is humble. I came quite late to him and was blown away by K.O.D. His new tracks are beyond the next level. His genius is undervalued.
“I don’t wanna leave any stone unturned”
So you’re just ignore that Kendrick Lamar Collab just like that?
We never gonna get it lol
Cole did say on Black Friday that he wasn’t gonna do it. They couldn’t handle two artists that clever
Forbidden fruit
At the very least they can released the mixed versions of Shock the World and Temptation lol
Under the sun
How do you look white, black and Viking at the same time ?
Nailed it
He’s light skin
Would have put Irish
@Kimmminem West half black, half white, half Irish, half Viking
That's why he shouldn't be on screen. So people like you wont comment on how he looks.
dope video bro, thank you for using my beats for it!
honored to be using your beats 🙏❤️
If I was a celebrity, I’d wanna move similar to Cole. Open & in the public eye when I wanna be. Chillin, closed off and working when I gotta be.
When you’re expected to be conscious all the time people won’t leave you alone when you recognize you’re own ignorance
Endraw exactly
Bars
The homie finally comes out and sits in front of a camera. I can always appreciate putting a voice to a face. Keep up with the great content, dude!
I just want that Cole Kendrick album smh
really my life will be complete after
It should be called J.DOT
“They can’t handle two black niggas this clever”
Don't think they will match together well in albums
@@Henry-b3j Yea cole would be washing kendrick all throughout the album, not sure it would be worth it.
Great points, although Cole’s tweet not seeing himself as a leader is focused on being a leader of BLM and not music.

Friday night lights, The Warm Up, Born Sinner, 2014FHD, KOD are all classics in my mind. I have all those playing in my Spotify playlist.
This guy looks exactly like the white version of what I thought he looked like
Marvin Bennett LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
His voice sounds like a black guy
😂😂😂😂😂😂 yep
He is half white half black.. what is you're point
ミRellWithSauce thought I was pretty straight to the point lol don’t trip

Yo wtf I pictured him exactly like that too
-.I don’t like this new format but I appreciate being able to see the face behind the voice
doesn’t matter if you keep or change the format just keep the info/content the same quality
I love this video. Factual, positive, important - love the deep analysis of Cole's unique position in the industry. Thanks!
Well you definitely don't look like what I thought lol but 🤷🏾♂️ that doesn't matter

yeah I agree The Fall Off sounds like a classic hip hop album
but the samples used in Lion King On Ice are a bit bad
it seems like Cole is going for a more ASTROWORLD and Rodeo album
KOD to me was Birds In The Trap
It was full of trap and it seems like it is going away in The Fall Off
Love the videos. Totally got the face wrong hell the race wrong. You live and learn. Bless up!
I support the new style of the video it’s more casual, keep it up man
I fucks with this format. A little self comedy as you narrate makes me feel like we chillin and you speaking.
Thanks big man for this stuff, you’ve been doing up really well
J Cole might not always top the Charts
But he definitely rules many hearts.
Definitely not my heart. He's a good rapper though. I love his. I'm just not with the fan boy shit.
But every album does top the charts though. His last 5 albums all debuted at number 1 😅 an his next album probably will aswell.
I still don't understand why everyone keeps overlooking Born Sinner as Cole's greatest album
J cole never left the “come up” phase, forever making music from that perspective. I feel like that was enticing when it was sincere, but it feels played out now and it feels like he’s still beating the same dead horse til this day. It’s worked out for him number wise, but yeah, haven’t been able to fully enjoy a project from him since FNL because of that.
4 Your Eyez Only is the exact opposite of that type of music tho. Nothing about that album can be assumed to be of a young man's perspective.
Cole is a simplistic individual,true transparency is his who he is,he's the epitome of it. He's unparalleled,his art must touch others,his art must assist others through this diabolical planet. He won't comprise in order to appease,those who lack perspective. And I for one appreciate that completely.
the dude looks like a norse warrior or maybe a viking.
I can tell this took a lot of work 🔥🔥🔥
You described his story beautifully , great narration
That means alot, thank you ❤️
4YEO is really a gem, and as a young father trying to figure it out that album grew on me and it’s one of my favorites
If “The Fall Off” is great.......he can retire

Its sad but i think J cole will be appreciated more in hindsight!! He goes over peoples heads because hes an incredibly intelligent lyricist! He hasnt dummed down his craft for popularity or compromised the messages in his music, and he should be respected for that !
Relax, J cole doesn't "go over" anybodies head. I'm not going to deny he has some bars but come on man.
@@McClain3000 ok
Love this new format🤘
U got my follow bro. This topic 🔥🔥🔥
J Cole is the GOAT and thats just facts 🤷♂️
King cole
@Tee Gee nah if you are 12 your goat is prob Lil Pump or whatever 12 year olds listen to nowadays lol
@Tee Gee I dont think I am more clever than anyone, on the contrary, I would love to learn more from you and others, no one can ever know it all
Swear I thought you was a brotha. But nvm that that beard on point fam keep doing ya thang. I’m with it.
He’s mixed, so he is a brotha
@@newrecruit100 half of one though lol
Love this format
Had to subscribe bro your videos are so eloquently narrated. Good stuff !
Man, feeling lucky to be this early...
Damn, I had to close my eyes during that intro, weird putting a face to the voice
Talk about giving heroes their flowers while their still alive 👌🏾💯 great video 🔥
Good too finally see your face brother
Thought you had glasses and were skinny as hell lol cool to see the face behind the intellectual voice 👌🏼
Who else fw the ginger beard
You elaborate and illustrate coles career very well
ur channel is super dope keep it up
This new format is kinda similar to Hiphop DX but its cool
Yo I thought he was light skin and skinny that what the voice made me picture
😂facts
look at this perspective, Cole already said that he reguarded some songs for put on The fall off, i really think that he will top 2014 FHD album, and the fall of could be his door for all greats undoubtedly
Ranking of J. Cole’s albums only from 2014 Forest to KOD:
1. 4 Your Eyez Only
2. KOD
3. 2014 Forest
Is it ironic you said “he’s got a big hill to climb” after the noname beef and he just dropped that song last night!?
If J Cole died this year he’d be our GOAT
On God for real. His past 2 years have been goat level run.
beatbyksweet it’s a shame his come up years wasn’t a popular period of rap
It’d be the same with any good rapper in this generation tho
J cole suffers from the martyr syndrome. Meaning he is too humble to see how much he has done and continuously does for his community. So he keeps giving more and more until nothing is left but a sense of empty-ness.
Great new format! Use your platform for your personal brand! Big moves🤝
Nah I like the old videos with just voice style but it’s cool if you tryna expose your image more to the public
Myke C Town: "J.Cole is Drake if Drake could rap" 😂
Don't get the cole miners upset
Myke C Town from deadendhiphop is kinda right.
Not that wrong
That right there... Just don't do
Naw
Great video first time watching
May not be as big as Cold but I always saw Rocky as the middle child or the bridge between the two generations of hip hop
GOAT 🐐 FACE REVEAL!!!
Who else still believes in J cole ? 🔥🔥
A face to the voice at last 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i like the new format of the video, keep up the good work
COLE AIN'T THE LEADER HE THE BIG BROTHER
11:37 *PAUSE*
I admire your hard work!! Your channel is one of my favorites. Thanks for everything!
J Cole's first album is one of the greatest albums ever from start to finish 🔥🔥🔥
