The Coke Boys stuff is good despite French, not because of him. I have no dog in this fight (mostly because I haven't yet heard a full YT mixtape) but it's annoying that that keeps getting brought up as evidence of his superiority.

I like French Montana. "Don't Panic" = really fly NY rap with his gf Khloe Kardashian. It is as Halloween as it gets. Lots of men are defined by their girlfriends or whoever they are dating & i don't think that is wimpy or wussy.

"God Body" is another great effort.. he did that wit his main man Chinx Drugs. This one is a seriously catchy earworm that just gets stuck in your head. Sort of like how 'Flappy Birds' is addictive to play. Dude seriously shows his eminence in that one - he's a genuine survivor.

There's alot of reasons I don't like J Cole, but usually it's just for his lovely, uninspiring music.

This time, it's his lack of any sort of actual knowledge on a subject being replaced with "that's just how I feel".

In multiple instances in this video he's literally like "It seems like there's no answer to that impossible question" when usually it's some 10th grade poo poo.

I appreciate anyone trying to be "concious" but this dude keeps it weak forever and ever. Then he says some "concious" poo poo to try to distract from his weak music. Blame it on "THE SYSTEM" all you want. Your loving music loving sucks J Cole.

Yeah, I get and understand this, but there are still like 2-3 decent songs off Born Sinner and 2-3 decent songs from his mixtapes/stuff before that, soooo
I mean that's more than some rappers I don't gently caress with at all
Though saying that his new album has such uninspiring generic vibes (I hadn't even noticed it had come out??) that I haven't even delved into it to see if there are...2-3 decent songs

Honestly I don't know if there's a rapper with any sort of following outside of maybe Hospin or ICP or some garbage like that who doesn't at least have 2-3 listenable songs per album. It's a really low bar to set. But J Cole assaulted my radio with that lovely Crooked Smile song so I will never ever give him another chance.

God, J.Cole is seriously such a nancy. You've never seen anyone spend this much time trying to prove how 'super authentic & straight from the heart he is' as this junior.

The interviews are usually decent, and besides Noz who writes maybe 1/2 article a year anymore and seems to get increasingly bitter/dismissive/disillusioned there's ...? Bol used to be ok but it seemed he got forced almost entirely out of anyplace to write. And his stuff isn't entirely (at all?) serious.

Otherwise you get stuff that's like Grantland but usually worse, or you get dudes tryna write like this yo, nahmeen? Cause it's writing about rap is like the streets yo and we keeps it hunned out here on the internet. Word lyfe my ninjas.

I'd legit like to know of any place that has actually decent longform rap writing, especially if it has a more contemporary focus rather than going over history.

Jeff Weiss' blog https://www.passionweiss.com has some really hilarious / consistent writing. Been checking it daily since '06 or '07. There's ~8-10 guys writing for the site now. They've put me on to more good music than I can even explain. He also writes for Spin, Rolling Stone, L.A Times and The Washington Post.
