who is J Cole and why is the entirety of furry twitter dedicated to dunking on him

Klinotaxis · 2016-12-03 22:39:21

he's a talk show radio host who got rich on selling cheap jeans and now rants about random crap, including apparently furries

Salix Babylonika · 2016-12-03 22:39:30

I honestly don't understand how so many of y'all are able to avoid extremely popular people

anyway,

J. Cole is a rapper. He went platinum with no features (which is a meme, but also is actually true), he made a song about Kanye West and Wale that many people took as a diss (including Wale himself).

He's a very uninteresting artist which is why people dunk on him, cuz he's an easy target.

Well, he's a rapper, mostly but not exclusively of the storytelling/conscious rap type. Think along the lines of Kendrick Lamar and you'll have the right basic idea (though Cole's music tends to be a bit more focused on personal experiences than K.Dot's, which instead alternates between that and more societal criticism)

no idea what the deal with furry Twitter is, but he's putting a new album out soon

Salix Babylonika · 2016-12-03 22:44:16

He also kinda went at Eminem once (on "Firing Squad") which admittedly takes balls but he's still not a very good rapper in my opinion.

I like him, but I'm from the same general place as him and my sister enjoys his work thoroughly so I guess I'd be inclined to think more positively of him.

He puts on a good show, too. He brought one of his Dollar and a Dream tours to Raleigh and did the entirety of his first mixtape to really hit it big, along with a few of his later hits at the end.

i was aware that he was a rapper, was not aware that he went platinum which is good for him i guess?

im just a little confused as to why furry twitter has decided to take lil yachty's side in some sort of nascent j cole lil yachty feud

Salix Babylonika · 2016-12-03 22:49:57

Oh yeah I forgot he was fighting with Lil Yachty too.

I don't know what to make of that honestly.

I don't really like any of these people so

PLATINUM WITH NO FEATURES

CONSCIOUS RAP GOD

ONLY REAL RAPPER STILL ALIVE

Obā-san · 2016-12-03 22:51:47

i take it that the usual way to get platinum is to get a feature from someone already famous then?

that's kinda strange NGL

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-12-03 22:53:24

Does Furry Twitter like Lil Yachty now? I'm confused.

Features boost sales, like having a big name actor in your indie movie or something. It's not going to magically get you famous because you're probably known already—being featured on somebody else's track is more likely to do that—but it does help an album get more eyes on it.

Minute Watercraft is internet popular so it wouldn't surprise me.

He seems like a nice kid but I can't stand his music for the most part. DRAM is better at that style in my opinion, so's Chance The Rapper but he has a wider range of sounds.

Not necessarily but it usually helps you build hype and such

so reminding people that J. COLE WENT PLATINUM WITH NO FEATURES is basically a way of saying that he did it on his own with no outside help

which is ridiculous of course because his career was kickstarted by a Jay-Z cosign, but, details don't matter to rap fans.

ok
