[@maxxmarino6500]

When doesn't he? Lol Fantano is the epitome of the target audience for his music. Fantanos reviews kind of expose the low key racism that's embedded into privileged individuals. Cole makes music that someone from a low income environment can easily access and be motivated by, whereas Kendrick makes music the average or below average education level individual isn't going to grasp correctly. This is pointless because if the only people who are going to understand and decipher your message are the people who are smart enough not to need it then what good is going to do? It's like going into a remedial class and trying to explain calculus when they're struggling to grasp fractions still... Cole on the other hand IS accessible and therefore WILL help the people he's aiming to inspire. Kendrick is just aiming to win awards and pack shows with people who can afford the high price of the tickets.

With Melon bringing up Kendrick so much, I can’t help but feel like Cole is always on the precipice of being super deep and introspective, but it just never fully becomes realized. Kendrick can create whole stories and narratives from different perspectives and situations not only on whole projects, but a lot of the time song to song. He a lot of the time feels like he’s playing it safe, where as Kendrick genuinely feels like he is putting damn near his all out there every time, regardless of appeal

@@superdupeninja8149 never said Cole sucks. He’s right up there with Kendrick as one of my favorite rappers going. But with them occupying the same lane, and doing similar things musically, the comparisons become easy to make. Not saying either is biting off the other, just saying Cole never seems to deliver in the same way or makes quite a big mark on the game and society in general. TPAB didn’t start the BLM movement by any means but “Alright” and a lot of the problems and issues brought up in that project made it become a symbol for the whole situation. J Cole’s best attempt at that in my mind was KOD and while he did send a message about addiction and societal injustice, it never seemed fully realized. On “Friends” he quite literally suggest everyone dealing with stress and addiction just “meditate don’t medicate” and while meditation can help create balance and calm the mind and body, it’s not the fucking answer.

I’ve finally seen how corny j Cole is after everything these last few days.

[@Trash2000s]

I liked it when he kept making fun of j cole

fantano hating one of my favorite rappers for 13 or however making mf minutes 😂😂😂

[@uglyaniimals]

he's not wrong !!

[@goodenergy73]

he is

[@josephbartholomew]

It's kinda funny because every rapper around J Cole(rappers he inspired, peers, rappers he was inspired by) tend to out class him in at least one of his focuses minimum. He's super overrated.

[@vengeanceandfashion]

Nice to see a thatistheplan appearance

[@fourseasons4105]

As he should

[@masterl6460]

[@davidalesia6881]

The next one I want to see is him hating on The National I know the band’s not his cup of tea, but the way he expresses his meh-ness towards’em is well-prepared

[@watchthedopethrone]

I’d like to see compilations of him trashing artists in genres other than hip hop in general. That’d be a lot of content

[@carminefan110]

13 minutes ? Wow that’s impressive

[@dizsy_]

Cole has some bangers. Songs i go back to constantly but he prob isn't even top 25 in terms of the goat's

[@arseeoliveira6934]

Exactly. When people put him side by side with Kendrick I give them a bombastic side eye, but I get it, they're contemporaries, though unlike Kendrick, Cole can play it safe most of the times whereas Kendrick somehow never misses the opportunity to challenge the listener, even when trying to get commercial appeal (DAMN). J Cole is like a lite version of Nas

[@dizsy_]

@@arseeoliveira6934 People like to play up J Cole's lyricism and versatility. Yeah he has some catchy songs and some decent bars but like you said, next to people like kendrick he's absolutely blown out of the water in terms of hits, lyricism, versatility and just sound. Which is why i hate when people compare them. Maybe its just nostalgia for some people and maybe its bc i have none for him, but to me he's just barely decent bc he can be really corny sometimes

[@iansmart4158]

@@arseeoliveira6934 I hate this take because in a world post 2014 FHD, Cole chose to make 4YEO. An album so antithetical to the modern hip hop sound it might as well be a different genre. What mainstream acts are creating records as intimate, quiet, and deeply felt as Cole is?! I listen to a song like SHE'S MINE and all I think is, "This is so sincere, it's almost embarrassing. It's like hearing someone freestyle a lullaby to their baby while in the privacy of their own home. No one makes music this absolutely revealing, at least not at his level." Even if you don't like that record, it's such a rigorously constructed and cohesive bit of self-reflection and honesty that I don't see how ppl see it as playing it safe. Playing it safe would have been more soul samples, more charismatic flow shifts, and more big records like NO ROLE MODELZ. But none of that is there, it's literally the exact opposite...

@@onemail9721It’s not. Fantano just can’t shake his biases when it comes to certain artists and will continue to make these unnecessary comparisons to Kendrick and expect Cole to be a carbon copy of him. He does this with other artists too with certain songs or albums but not nearly as much as he does it to Cole as an artist.
