Cole will perform at Madison Square Garden, a show that sold out on the first day of ticket sales. To date it’s sold about 950,000 copies, his first platinum album after two gold ones. Cole’s third, was last year’s top-selling rap album. Two decades ago, an artist like that would have happily resigned himself to the underground, hardened his integrity and obscurity into weapons, and rained judgment and insult upon those at the center.Īnd yet the album that song comes from, “2014 Forest Hills Drive” (Roc Nation/Columbia), Mr. It’s a deviation from mainstream hip-hop’s norm, a rejection of its surroundings. When you hear it on Hot 97, in between the digital vocal cascades of Fetty Wap, the self-satisfied Drake loosies and the meanspirited Chris Brown choruses, it sounds disruptive.
His flow is raspy and conversational, not swaggering at all, and the song is slow, slightly sleepy soul. Cole tackles it with gusto and a not insignificant amount of awkward detail, rapping about teaching himself to put on a condom, studying pornography to learn technique and agonizing over whether he’ll be up to the task. Cole you’re currently most likely to hear coming out of a car window is called “Wet Dreamz.” It’s about him losing his virginity, certainly the highest-profile hip-hop song on that delicate subject. But in terms of pure rapping ofc there’s rappers out there that can out rap Nappy King Cole but he doesn’t care that much to bring that pure rapping side of him out imo but with his next album coming and him trying to bring the new generation style of music and old generation style of music together, we’ll see how what happens with Jackie Cole.The song by J. Cole has more of an uptempo or aggressive beat, he has to rap a different way and he raps great on tracks like “Under The Sun”, “Black Friday”, “Off Deez” “Breakdown”, “Rise and Shine”, “Down Bad”, “Immortal”, “Cole World”, “Fire Squad”, “Villuminati”, his mixtapes and etc. That can also lead to his songs being mediocre to some people because of the production can bring unnecessary and bland tracks.
Like Dead End Hip Hop said, those mellow beats that Cole has is too easy for him and he needs to switch it up because that makes people feel like your too chill on tracks too much. Cole just falls into the trap of his production a lot and that makes his music come off as uninteresting to listen to and it makes him rap real mellow and chill. Some say he’s overrated and I can see what they are coming from to a certain instinct, but Cole is not mediocre by any means imo.
Cole is a great rapper and has lots of success as you can tell.
