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

[KTULU IS BACK]

j cole has the same boring "i got money and im comin up in the rap game" lyrics as every other rapper on earth today

there is nothing unique about him

 

[P-Dogg77]

J Cole is a hero not just the GOAT rapper.

 

[Hobe cryant]

Ay cut yo damn microphone down ma that shit was rackin my ears

J cole is average and I dont give a fuck about him goin to college

 

[CollegeBoi12]

Nothing special about him

I know plenty of black males who went to college and did positive stuff for the community

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

For the black community overall, I would disagree

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

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.

 

[Hobe cryant]

Only songs I ever liked by j cole is blow up and farewell

T/s sound like she has a crush, homie is an average mc to me.But in todays rap game he's considered nice

 

[jonlakadeadmic]

J.Cole > ______

 

[PLASTIC RULES]

aint j cole that wannabe drake, jay-z flow jaccin, nas baccpacc rapper ?

 

[b@squ1@t redux]

fleetwood mac is far more important to the black community

 

[bluprint]

He could be a good story but he not pushin many peopleto school

 

[Hobe cryant]

Momma said I should reconsider law school
that means I wear a suit and be a troop and feel awful
hell naw, got a degree but what that cost you
you make a good salary just to pay Sally May
thats real as ever
ducking bill collectors like Jehova’s witness
when they showed up at your door at Christmas
was broke as dishes tryna let it go
hit the club she drop it low
lower than my credit score

account overdraft what I got this debit for
summers dead it got me drinking thinking b-tch I better blow
I better blow
these hoes aint checking for no n-gga with no vehicle

VS santrell sound like some yak

This is j coles advice about college t/s. sound like he's discouraging instead of encouraging

 

[haute]

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

Well, I believe getting more Black men to go to college will help the Black community. As for the knowing plenty of Black men who went to college and did positive stuff for the community, that's great! We need more of them.

dmc talked about getting a education, and had more hype than j. cole, but one rapper ain't gonna make black people go to college.

"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.

 

[b@squ1@t redux]

j.cole is far more important to the black community than zz top however

and has a greater economic influence than guns n roses did while proffering more NAACP funding than AC/DC

 

[MsVShantrell]

dmc talked about getting a education, and had more hype than j. cole, but one rapper ain't gonna make black people go to college.

There's something to be said about the message coming from someone around the same age... And of course one rapper isn't going to get 10,000 Black men to go to college, but hell, it just might encourage a few and even those few make a difference.

so your evidence is his adlibs?

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

 

[puescobar85]

he's my favorite freshmen out, but he has alot of room to grow, especially as a producer

nahh, but all i'm saying is dmc was young and "cool" back in the 80s talking about acquiring knowledge his whole life, and going college right out of high school
