J. Cole and Why He's Important to the Black Community

[politicalthug202]

umm with a blk presidemt why the heck do u need a

rapper to motivate u lol ppl these days

 

[garv]

Haha hilarious, J.Cole is getting far too much praise already.

 

[Harlem Shake]

A rapper important to the community/world at large? Wheretheyfuckdotheydodatat???

Wow, what hell is this thread.............. and so far this dude is mixtape rapper status, nobody even knows who this dude is yet...........

EDIT: KTULU is that nigga lol............. summing shit up in the coldest way possible.....

 

[MsVShantrell]

so your evidence is his adlibs?

thats like saying Pac was encouraging sickle cell research when he dissed Mobb Deep.

Quite honestly, I rather here a nigga have some adlibs than to have nothing at all. When every other rapper wanna disguise the fact that he might have some sense (Waka/Plies/etc), I think it's refreshing that a nigga a) went to college and b) promoting to some extent. But quite honestly, the fact that he went to college is very much a part of his journey to where he is today and that fact is very powerful.

"Check it out man, tryna tell y'all niggas man,

College is a good look,

A real good look, my nigga,

For more reasons than one, man,

Know they try to keep us out of that shit though,

That shit like extra expensive.

I got scholarships though, so you know I'm not sweating that.

I feel for my niggas that couldn't make it man,

Ay Mike we in there baby, hahaah

Ay they can't, they can't keep us out the G my nigga, you know.

Then we all make it, nah, we ain't all make it.

Shout out to my niggas, man,

All my niggas, yo.

Weather you graduated or not,

Weather you made it to college or not, nigga.

Fayettenam, yeah, yeah,

Class of 2007 man,

Holla at me,

I'm going to grad school though, you know? " (excerpt from "college boy")

I'm not saying that dude is perfect. We all got flaws. And any college student can tell you some discouraging and encouraging shit about college (I go to a place that's like the "Disney Land" of colleges, and I can still say some discouraging shit). In many ways, he had to say some discouraging shit to be more relatable because a lot of ppl, esp those who graduated in '08 and beyond, got some discouraging prospects. And some ppl can feel his pain on that. But if he can put out some encouraging shit (even if it's about fucking hoes) as well (and ppl just knowing his story in general) to get some people to get on the college bandwagon, I support that message.

In all fairness, I am just posting on the IC so this isn't too serious. But there is nothing positive about his lyrics. There is much greater need in other areas and J. Cole is not the solution for that. Every other word is niggas. You saying positivity but I don't see it.

I'm saying look at the positivity in his journey! The nigga graduated from college with honors! IDK too many brothers GOING to college and damn sure don't know many graduating with honors.. that's what I'm saying.

[Disciplined InSight]

young black males need pimps and drug dealers to look up to

how else will work be supplied to the hood?

college is for crabs.

Shut your dumb saltine ass up.

White people love J. Cole cause he makes Jamie Foxxx (who I saw on CMT) tonight look like Malcom X.

 

[G.R.I.P. Money $$$]

But I guess for black youth who live through rappers who rap about negative stuff, it's a good thing

Cole is good, but not epic, or deserving of this much stanning

He doesn't even have an album out yet

Let the nigga breathe

Shit

[Will Munny]

Does J. Cole exist outside of the internet?

I just recently saw a slideshow at a hiphop blog about rappers who went to college and I thought about why J. Cole is different..
