Your entitled to your opinion man. But I honestly think your expectations are a bit ridiculous....you're listening to J. Cole's music and expecting it to be "exciting". What does that even mean?! If you have pre-conceived expectations about how music should be before you listen to it then are you even really able to appreciate the music?! Just some food for thought...Originally Posted by PolosandDunks

And J. Cole struggles at song making?! I would love to know who (young rappers) is better at that because all the artists you mentioned even some of whom I actually like are nowhere close to Cole when it comes to song structure. One thing I have always given credit to Cole which is better than any young rapper I have seen is that he knows how to make a damn song.
Are you serious? All them dudes mentioned make better songs then him. J.Coles hooks SUCKKKK too. You sounding stupid again. Like i said numerous times im a J.Cole fan to the extreme but im not going to sit here and act like he's not lacking a ton of stuff. You just sound like he can do no wrong. Get ya mind right...
You really said Cole has strong song structure? PLEASE give me these songs. All he can do is rap. Outta ALL those dudes he has the worst when it comes to young rappers, Drake, Wiz, and even Sean have better ones. Lets be real... which comes to why he aint drop SINCE.
His expected release says a lot. How we supposed to support when he is never dropping. I never said he had to have mainstream appeal. All im saying is he needs to turn it up... boring *@# flow, predicable, songs suck, singles suck....
I dont care about a hot 16/24 here and there, college loans and more boring stuff. Where are the songs? Cuz the current ones are poor as hell. Point me in the direction of those songs with that "crazy" song structure your talking about since you cant give me an "expected" release date..other then that im not responding backIt proves absolutely nothing.
What you don't realize is that I am actually the same kind of hip-hop listener. I can care less about just being able to spit but more about the ability to make good songs.
All J. Cole can do is rap and not make good songs huh?! What have you been listening to?! Only his freestyles?!
First of let me define what is a good song:
A good song = Good lyrics structured in multiple verses that are coherent along with a solid hook/chorus with a theme that follows or is repeated throughout the song.
Examples from J. Cole that fit this definition:
Lights Please
Loosing My Balance
Loves Me Not
I Get Up
Dollar & A Dream 2
Enchanted
Higher
Blow Up
It Won't Be Long
Premediated Murder
Home For The Holidays
In The Morning
Can I Live
Hold It Down
I am sure those who know good music and appreciate good song writing and structure would agree that all of those songs fit that definition.
You point about not knowing an expected release date says a lot is nonsensical! Nobody knew Drakes release date after his third mixtape......until it was announced. Now dude was in a different situation with Cash Money and it is what it is but the problem with listeners like you is you expect everyone to "blow up" with the same formula. There is not one blueprint to success smh.
But according to you J. Cole's flow is boring (why are you in this thread?), predictable (oh really so you know what the subject matter of every song he releases is going to be about??), and songs/singls suck (again why are you in this thread?).
Now that I have pointed in the direction of the songs of Cole's that have song structure take the hate out of your heart and wax out of your ears and re-listen before you respond back with more foolishness.
if you only knew...
Why am I in this thread? Son did you not see me say I am a huge fan but im not going to front like son isnt boring and stale nowadays? I said it MANY times. Did you read through my post or did you just read over those parts. Did you not see me say that im a fan?
You act like I think he sucks or Im A Lil B fan. No... J.Cole songs just suck and his hooks do too..PERIOD (as of late). Son just aint been exciting and needs to turn it up....point blank... everyone mentioned has been putting out better MUSIC then him and im not even a fan of a lot of those guys. Dont act like they havent...if you believe that your just a stan.
His songwriting hasnt got any better. Maybe his album (whenever/if that ever drops) or his next mixtape will and then I will rejoice and be happy. As of NOW though nah his hooks and songs suck...He got a few gems here and there.
@ you making it out to be like im a J.Cole hater. Stop the nonsense, his next mixtape I will anticipate and download AS SOON as it comes out...i just aint going to sit here and act like everything is cool though with his music...Thats what stans do. Not fans...
Im sorry for the rant, maybe im just putting too much hope in him to be a game changer... Maybe i should stop. At least Nas had style with it.
I just listed a ton of J. Cole tracks that fit the criteria for good song writing and structure. I don't know what else you want but I guess if fireworks don't explode and angels don't sing from the heavens then the music isn't "exciting enough.
