J COLE VS TPAB

[@cherriosaka]

The way I see it.. Kendrick can do a j.cole track. J.cole cannot do a Kendrick track.

This I disagree with. People always say this, and pen-wise, Kendrick is more layered so probably. But what makes a song a J Cole song and what makes a song a Kendrick song is their approach. Both of them approach tracks in totally different manners. There's a reason why people refer to Cole as that cool big brother or that cool uncle, and not Kendrick. Part of the appeal of a J Cole song is how he makes you feel and that comes simply from his personality. I feel like if Kendrick made a J Cole song, it may sound like a J Cole song, but it would just feel like a really good song at best, and a really good J Cole imitation at worst, but it won't be a J Cole song cos it won't have the same emotional impact. Ya dig?

You are a genius ❤🎉

Sing About Me is similar to a J Cole Song

@@MaxwellAyo Have you not listened to DAMN? Even on TPAB Kendrick has the I love myself song.

I agree but I would like to add a great meal or great painting doesn't have to be digestible at first glance. I think a great piece of work gives you something new at every listen. Though it may not be the most accessible upon first listen I think it gives a lot in the way of history, story, and retelling of a black experience in America.

To you, J. Cole & errrbody else who don’t hail TPAB as the masterpiece that it is- 🙄🙄🙄 + the Steven A Smith gif where he goes 🙄 some more! 😂 it’s one of my favorite albums of my life & is in rotation til this day but to each their own!! 🕊️

[@Traviscasetalks]

[@jaymarcel5458]

Lost Ones was so hard

[@Dadrivingfactor]

So yall tell me that yall hated that album the whole time

[@Traviscasetalks]

Definitely don’t hate it but I wish the majority of it sounded like mama, mortal man and alright

[@ibalance925]

Damn yo mama didnt play any p-funk for you growing up? No Jazz? So it was just 90's R&B and Rap? lol

[@Traviscasetalks]

So I grew up on Sade, isleys, temps, Marvin, Jacksons, stylistics, EWF, and others I just never really took to that sound, BUT I love when OutKast does it lol

It's not even close to trash. These shouldn't even be the only 2 options trash Or masterpiece stop ...j Cole's verse. Was mid he use a bunch of lyrics from previous diss Records, he shouldn't get credit for piecing togather stuff he didn't write.it looks lazy he sounded half-hearted like his Mama made him come ask for his bike back.
