I honestly had a plan to talk about this later
on, but given that J. Cole is about to drop a
new album, I wanted to do at least my part in
making sure we listened to J. Cole correctly
without being fooled by any of his bullshit.
So here I go. J. Cole is a bitch, but I think
too many people, including his own fans, aren't
seeing it. It wasn't about his diss to Kendrick
or the apology. Based on everything that I've
seen in how he presents himself, it's pretty
clear to me that he's a bitch, one that is deeply
confused about himself because he's in denial
about his true feelings. But because so few seem
to really see that, I'm going to try to lay out
my case for why he's a bitch. If you're a J.
Cole fan and you're upset by anything that I
say, come at me. I don't give a shit. Okay, so
the overarching thesis I have is that J. Cole
is a bitch. But I'm not here to just slap charges
on people without providing the evidence. So
here's my plan. I'm going to first explain what
I think of J. Cole's music. This might seem off
-topic, but it's honestly not. I think it's partly
because people like me don't connect to his music,
at least not in the same way that we connect
to music by... people like Kendrick or DMX or
Tupac or Biggie and so on, that I think J. Cole
gets all insecure and that's when his bitch assness
shows. So it's all connected. But I'll also lay
out a thorough case for J. Cole being a bitch
based on his own actions and words. Look, I personally,
I don't know J. Cole personally. I don't know
who he is. I have no way to contact him. I don't
have conversations with him. So I honestly...
You know, I'm not going to know a lot of details
about his specific life. I don't listen to all
of his music anyways thoroughly enough to try
to dissect what he's really about based off of
the information he gives in the music. Plus,
you know, when it comes to, you know, music industry,
a lot of it, how much of it is true, I have no
idea, right? I have no desire to get to know
him personally. I honestly could care less. I'm
mainly using him as an example of someone who's
a bitch that others don't seem to see that that
person is a bitch. And I think he serves as a
good example of that. But because I don't know
him personally, it wouldn't be fair to make accusations
based off of any speculation or impressions that
I have of him. I'm going to go strictly based
off of what he has made available in the public
eye, namely his music, specifically the lyrics,
sometimes his interviews. Does that mean that
I have J. Cole pegged correctly, like I know
exactly who he really is? Hell no, right? I don't
know. Maybe he just presents himself in certain
ways that I see as a pretty bitch thing to do.
And maybe he's just a completely different person
in real life. But I'll be honest with you. I
personally don't care. Because if that's what
he puts out into the public, whether or not he's
really like that, that's still what a bitch would
do. Because only a bitch would present themselves
to the world as a bitch. And that's essentially
what I'm going to argue that he's doing. Okay,
enough of talking about what I'm going to do.
Let me just get on with it. All right. So if
you're like me, you're not a fan of J. Cole.
I mean, let's be honest. We're not all going
to be fans of the same artist. We're different
people and connect to music, different music
and different artists. So this doesn't seem like
a big deal, but I want to explain why I'm not
a fan. Because here's the thing, as a genuine
fan of hip -hop, as someone who kind of grew
up listening and connecting to hip -hop deeply,
where it's very personal to me, I think I can
provide at least some insight as to why some
hip -hop fans, not all, but some, don't really
hold J. Cole in high esteem, even though we might
respect him to some degree. Look, here's what's
obvious to me. J. Cole is a good lyricist. No,
I think probably more accurately, he's a great
one. He's a great lyricist. He's up there and
putting words together in clever, thoughtful
ways in the same realm. Maybe not quite the same,
but in the same realm as like an Eminem or a
Lil Wayne. I'll come back to Lil Wayne in a bit.
I don't think there should be any doubts about
that in terms of his lyrical ability. So there's
always some level of respect for J. Cole because
of his pen. I don't have any reason also to doubt.
that he's writing his own stuff. Like, there's
never been, like, accusations or, you know, rumors
floating around about, you know, his having ghostwriters
and so on. So I genuinely respect him for what
he's able to do in this regard, okay? But there
are two primary reasons that I don't really like
J. Cole's music, and it will actually blend into
why I don't like J. Cole as a person, at least
the kind of person that he presents himself to
be. For one... It's just a sonic thing. In terms
of sonically, I just don't find him to be particularly
interesting. His flows are fairly similar from
one song to another. There's very little variance
in the way that he raps. And I also don't like
most of the beats that he raps over. I mean,
they're not bad, but they're also not particularly
interesting or something innovative. Look, everyone
is entitled to what they enjoy when they're listening
to music. and J. Cole just isn't that for me,
right? And that's fine. I like a lot of music
that other people don't like sonically. Like,
I've had conversations with friends about our
differences, and, you know, sometimes we just
don't see eye to eye on these things, and that's
perfectly fine. But it's also fine acknowledging
that some sounds that I like just might not hit
the same way for others, and that's not a biggie.
No big deal, okay? So one is just a personal
preference thing. Not a huge fan of sound. Don't
find it to be particularly interesting. Just
it is what it is. The other reason, though, and
I think this one might hurt J. Cole's feelings
if I spoke to him directly, I personally don't
find anything compelling about the content of
his raps, about what he actually has to say.
And as somebody who prides himself as being a
lyricist, I'm guessing this probably matters
to him. and how people take in what he has to
actually say, whether they listen to or are impacted
by what he has to say. There's a reason I don't
connect to his music. He raps about more or less
the same shit that everyone else raps about,
sprinkled in with a few raps that I think are
meant to be profound, but they really aren't
all that profound. There's no real depth to his
music. It's surface -level shit in the stuff
he talks about. It just shows that he doesn't
have much depth, I think, himself in understanding
himself, his life, and what he has to share about
any of the topics, honestly, that he raps about.
Let me try to explain my lack of enthusiasm for
J. Cole by comparing him to other rappers who
can put lyrics together well but lack depth in
the way that I'm describing J. Cole. I personally
think a good comparison for J. Cole is Big Sean,
right? Look, I like Big Sean's rapping, right?
He can rap, right? He can string together rhymes
and so on. He can be clever at times, catchy.
But he doesn't rap about anything that really
moves me in any way. It's not that I don't connect
with his specific experience. It's that his raps
don't give me much to connect to, right? My feelings
are not moved in that way by people rapping about
stuff. I connect to feelings that are expressed
through... Right. Another good example of this
in the same realm, I think, would be Lil Wayne.
I told you I was going to come back to him. I
never liked Lil Wayne. I know that when I was
when Lil Wayne was getting big, a lot of the
people were really big on Lil Wayne. These were
my formative, fairly formative years. So you
would think that if I liked hip hop, I might
be inclined to like Lil Wayne. But I didn't.
And I didn't because of mostly because of the
stuff he rapped about. Right. Most of the stuff
he rapped about, just I didn't connect to. I
mean, honestly, like, you know, 80 percent of
his raps were about, I think, you know, pussy
and money and not much else. Right. Like the
concepts of his raps didn't really move too far
beyond that. Right. Now, is J. Cole like Lil
Wayne in this respect? No. Like he tries to move
into like J. Cole tries to move into more thoughtful
spaces, I think. I just think he sucks at it.
Right. Not because he's not a good rapper. But
I sense that he hasn't done any deep introspection
on his own feelings. And here's the thing, when
you don't connect with your own feelings and
put that into the music, right, that sort of
authenticity of what it is that you've experienced,
not just in describing it, but like how it actually
mattered to you, right, the way that it moved
and impacted you, then the audience won't connect
with it either. If you listened at all to my
series on vulnerability, You know, this is a
series that I had where I was trying to kind
of give an example to students because I've worked
with students a lot on their personal statements
for their college applications. You know, one
of the things I've really struggled with them
on is trying to get them to put not just their
experience describing it, reporting what they
experienced, but rather talking more deeply about
how it actually impacted them. Right. What it
actually meant for them. expressing the depth
of those experience by talking more personally
about what it really meant for them right and
you know i think that's essentially what j cole
lacks right he lacks the ability to talk about
himself deeply something you can only do well
i think if you've really grappled with what it
is that these experience meant to you, right?
How it really impacted you even to this day,
right? Dealing with the emotional aftermath of
having these sorts of experience. Look, I'll
give you an example from J. Cole's own song,
Role Models. You know, this is one of his bigger
songs. This song could have been a deep song
about not having role models and how that impacted
him. But instead, I think you get a lot of this
self -report. Like, I'm trying to make this distinction
so that you can see clearly what's actually happening,
right? He talks in the beginning about, again,
self -report of not having role model except
maybe like Uncle Phil on TV. This is from Fresh
Prince of Bel -Air. I loved that show growing
up. Then he speaks of having sex, then talks
about how he got defensive when the girl he was
having sex with or something said he was spoiled
and rich. And then he ends with how he wants
real love, but how he's all promiscuous and doesn't
think twice about it because the women deserve
it. None of this reflects real introspection
to me. Maybe you might think this is deep, but
if you think that, then I think that you probably
need to do some real introspection because there's
no depth here, right? Real introspection for
me might involve something about how... you know,
not having a role model impacted his relationship
with women. You know, J. Cole, I don't know,
maybe you think that he inferred it, but he never
actually makes any real connection there. If
there is even any, I don't even know if he sees
a connection there. Or maybe he could talk about
why he got so defensive, you know, when this
girl said you were rich and spoiled. But again,
he doesn't. He just reports that he did get defensive
without any real introspection as to why. He
got defensive when she said that, right? Even
when he talks about how he wants real love, like
the one he saw on TV with on Viv, he doesn't
speak on why then he is having all these one
night stands instead, right? Seems like a pretty
obvious place to talk more deeply about the topic,
but this is kind of what you get regularly from
J. Cole. You get topics that could be deep if
you were to kind of expand upon it, dive a little
deeper. The topics are generally things that
people consider to be thoughtful, introspective
kind of stuff. But he doesn't actually speak
on it with any depth. At least not for me. I
don't see it. He does a lot of self -reporting.
That's really what he does. He does a lot of
self -reporting on how he feels without ever
exploring why he feels that way. like, you know,
what experience really led to his reacting the
way that he does in certain situations. It's,
for me, fake introspection. It's faux depth,
right? Which is why I'm not surprised that his
music doesn't connect with me. Like, I have a
good sense of why I don't connect with his music.
It's because of this, right? People connect with
music in a deeper way when the artist shares
a real piece of their soul in their music. When
they could be real raw and vulnerable. I have
a sense that to some degree this is why people
are drawn to figures like Billie Eilish. Her
music tends to move in that direction quite a
bit. Not so much Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift doesn't
seem to have much of that depth. You can't do
this sort of work in rap songs just by merely
self -reporting. You can't connect to people
in a deeper way. just by merely self -reporting.
Just sharing what happened or what you experienced
is not necessarily going to be in and of itself
enough, I think. You need to actually be vulnerable
if you really want to connect in some deeper
way, right? Or if you're not going to do that,
that's fine. I mean, there's a large space in
hip -hop for things that are not that. So if
you're not going to do that, then that's fine.
But just make sure then that at least your beats
slap, right? That they could go hard in a club.
Like, you know. go in one direction or the other
or maybe you could find a way to you know bring
the two together but you got to have one or the
other for me to like actually care about your
music now i don't know all of j cole's catalog
in depth like i'm not again i'm not a j cole
fan so i don't go around listening to like all
of his albums and try to decipher exactly what
he's saying in every single one of them um so
maybe there's moments where he does show some
real depth uh you know Maybe there's some songs
that I'm not familiar with, but I've heard a
lot of J. Cole. So, you know, it's not as if
I don't listen to any J. Cole. I've tried to
listen and understand where J. Cole fans are
coming from. And from what I've heard, most of
it is just what I've described, right? It's a
bunch of bars about how he's gone through some
stuff or ideas that he has or things that he
believes without really the deeper personal connection
that makes... want to connect with him in some
deeper way. And then, of course, there's a lot
of bars that he throws around about how he wants
to be the best or that he should be seen as the
best or how he's going to smoke all these other
MCs. He does a lot of that. We're going to come
back to this because I think J. Cole's very confused.
Look, I'm not saying all this to shit on J. Cole.
I'm saying this to explain exactly why I don't
connect with his music, even though... I respect
his lyricism. I think a lot of people feel how
I feel, but might not have been able to put their
finger on it. And this is part of what's so confusing,
right? It's like, because of his lyricism, you
think like, oh yeah, so he's very, very good.
But then... when you listen to his music, you
might find yourself not really connecting with
his music and you're like, what the fuck is going
on? I'm trying to give you an explanation, at
least for me, why I see myself not connecting
with his music. Maybe this explanation might
help you better understand why you don't vibe
with Cole. Okay. What does all this have to do
with J. Cole being a bitch? I'm going to need
to take one step back before we get into this
because I think maybe there might be some areas
of misunderstanding. specifically on how I'm
using the term bitch. Look, if you've been following
this series up to now, you'll know what I'm talking
about, right? I might not be using the word bitch
in the same way that you are. I'm using this
term to say that J. Cole is a child in a grown
man's body. That, for me, is a bitch. It's someone
who hasn't matured, someone who hasn't faced
their demons and now has a deeper understanding
and acceptance of themselves. It's actually a
bitch is someone who just hides behind a facade
because they haven't bothered to truly get to
know themselves or to acknowledge who they truly
are, right? It has to do with growth. That's
really what it has to do with, right? A boy that's
still a boy is not a bitch. It's just a boy,
right? A grown adult that is really a boy inside
that hasn't actually grown up, that's a bitch
to me, right? That's what a bitch is to me. And
J. Cole fits that. mold i think uh very well
and i want to talk about it um because for some
reason others don't seem to see that j cole fits
this description um look there'll be there's
honestly a lot of evidence i could point to that
uh i can give of j cole's bitch assness um you
know if you actually listen to some of his interviews
after having heard some of the things that he's
referencing in those interviews where he sneak
disses or insults or references some other rapper,
but then in an interview says like, Oh no, I
actually wasn't like dissing them. I wasn't talking
down on them. It's like all that bullshit gaslighting.
That's some bitch shit. And you know, like I
could talk about, I could talk, you know, for
hours about that. And I could also go through
a range of his lyrics from multiple songs to
try to uncover exactly where I see him being
a bitch. But I want to use Port Antonio because
I think that was kind of a prime example of his
bitch assness. Let me first say this, right?
I personally have no issue with J. Cole dropping
out of the rap battle with Kendrick. When he
apologized, I actually had no problem with that
either. Would it have been better if he didn't
put out a diss track that he later recanted?
Yes. But given that he already put it out there,
I didn't give him any shit for dropping out of
the rap battle. Because acknowledging who you
are, knowing that that wasn't right with your
spirit, none of this is bitch shit. That's grown
man shit. Taking responsibility for your actions.
That's what grown men do. it shows a willingness
to acknowledge mistakes and to grow from them.
I also didn't think of him as a bitch at all
for that moment because I honestly don't... Maybe
it's because I just didn't pay all that much
attention to Cole. Like I said, I wasn't really
a fan of his music. I tried listening to some
of the stuff because people have held some of
his albums in high regard. I listened to it,
so I listened to his features. Didn't really
pay much mind. So why would I waste mental energy
on him, right? So I didn't really think of him
as a bitch all that much mainly because I didn't
really think of him at all, right? But I'm turning
to Port Antonio because I think it wasn't until
Port Antonio that I realized I need to actually
pay attention because it became very, very evident
for me in his song, in that track, that he was
a bitch. And anybody who thought otherwise...
I thought was just plain wrong. I think they
just got J. Cole wrong. But it actually was really
helpful because it helped me to make better sense
of everything else in his past work that helped
me to also better understand why it is that I
wasn't particularly a fan of his work in the
past. So what exactly did Port Antonio reveal
to me? I'm going to just skip over the first
verse because it's more of the same old J. Cole.
So you can just rewind this podcast a few minutes
to figure out how I felt about it because it's
just more of the same J. Cole stuff. It's really
on the second verse that you see the bitch come
out. He begins as he did in so much of Middle
Child, if you remember that popular track. That
popular track that he... claims to be great,
okay? I want to be clear about something, okay?
Once you walk away from the rap battle, you can't
claim to be great. Look, part of growing the
fuck up is acknowledging your place, being honest
with yourself. And you, J. Cole, no one else,
you stepped away from any debates about being
great or the greatest. When you dropped out of
the battle, you, you need to own that shit, okay?
That's what a real man does, right? Grown men
own their shit. They hold themselves accountable,
okay? Own the choices you make. And when you
don't, then you're a bitch. And that's exactly
what you did here. You claim to be great, and
you didn't want to compete with the great. Like,
you don't want to go ahead and go toe -to -toe
with the best of them. And so, at the end of
the day, then, that's it. Your claims of being
great are over. Done. Finito. The end. Like,
this wasn't anyone making any decisions for you
or projecting anything on you. You chose to step
out of the ring after years of claiming you were
the greatest. About how solid your pen was. How
you could go toe -to -toe with everybody else.
How you'd be killing it. And when you had your
chance to show it, you stepped away. That was
your choice. You need to own that decision. Which
means, in the least, you cannot rap about being
the best ever again. Period. You seem to be confused
about what happened. Everyone else sees it clearly.
You were talking the big talk, which you're allowed
to do. But then when it came time to back up
all that big talk, you stepped away, which you're
allowed to do. Again, I have no problem with
your doing it. But if you're going to do that,
you need to see what comes with that choice.
All these bars about being the best needed to
have stopped yesterday, right? You bitch! You
did this to yourself. Hold yourself accountable
like a fucking man. Later on in the song, you
start pointing the finger everywhere else but
yourself. Again, this is like a... A kid who's
not wanting to take accountability for their
decisions. That's what it looks like to me. That's
bitch shit, okay? Look, I'm quoting here, right?
This is what J. Cole says, right? They instigate
the fuckery because it's profitable. No, motherfucker.
No one instigated shit except maybe you. You're
the one that said I'm first -person shooter.
And I quote here. We the big three, like we started
a league, but right now I feel like Muhammad
Ali. And then when Kendrick came back with, fuck
the big three, it's just big me, you didn't have
to drop a diss track. You could have just kept
your mouth shut and kept it moving. No one was
instigating shit. You jumped out on your own
accord. Oh, what, you were pressured by people
around you to respond? Well, then don't be a
bitch and stand on your own feet like a man.
Do what's right for you from the very beginning.
But here's the thing. Once you make the decision
to pop out like that, you own it, right? Don't
blame other people for pressuring you or for
wanting this or for gassing you up. Look, no,
own your own decisions. Only bitches make excuses
for the decisions they make. You bitch. Oh, here's
some more lyrics later on in that song. J. Cole
speaking here, right? I pulled the plug because
I've seen where this was about to go. They wanted
blood. They wanted clicks to make their pockets
grow. Motherfucker keeps pointing the finger
at others and making excuses for himself. Like,
what the hell is this? This is bitch shit. You
bitch. Who the fuck cares what others wanted?
You make your own decisions. Are you not your
own man? Like, I don't understand this, right?
Other people could pressure you. Other people
could want certain things from you. Other people
can demand things from you. But your decisions
are your own. Why aren't you owning up to your
own shit? Like, I just don't get it. That's bitch
shit to me. Some more lyrics for you, right?
I wouldn't have lost a battle dog. I would have
lost a bro. What the fuck are you talking about?
You can try to spin this shit however you want.
Maybe your fans could try to spin this shit however
they want, but you know exactly what the fuck
you're trying to say. You're trying to say that
you wouldn't have lost a battle if you stayed
in it, and you just bowed out because you didn't
want to lose a friendship. Okay? What the fuck
kind of gaslighting shit is this? Look, your
diss sucked. Period. Seven -minute drill, mid
at best. You want to argue with me about this?
We can have a whole long conversation about analyzing
diss tracks. This was not it. Everything you
showed me, you were going to get your ass whooped.
That's what you showed me based off of this track.
Maybe you did Bow Wow because you didn't want
to get involved in something ugly. That's fine.
But again, you own your decisions, you bitch.
Stop trying to make excuses for them or wiggle
your way out of accepting responsibility for
your decisions. Part of what comes with your
decision is that you can't be seen as the better
MC. It's the way I feel about Mayweather. I don't
know if anybody else feels this way, right? But
I always felt like Floyd Mayweather always tried
to duck fights for as long as he can until he
got the upper hand. I think this is what he did
with Pacquiao, to be honest, right? That's some
bitch shit, okay? Jeez Louise. It didn't have
to be ugly, and you didn't have to lose a friend.
Like, let's be honest. That battle, it didn't
have to go that way. I'll talk more about this
in a little bit, okay? If that means I got to
dig up dirt and pay the whole team of algorithm
bot ninjas to sway the whole thing on social
media, competing for your favorable means, like,
this is you, J. Cole, talking all kinds of crazy
nonsense, okay? You bitch. Let me explain something
to you that your immature ass doesn't seem to
get. You seem to think that you need all these
things to win a rap battle. You! You're the one
saying it, so is you. Don't be throwing mud on
others when you weren't willing to fight. Look,
here's the analogy. That's like someone who ducks
out of a fight and then talks shit about the
ones who are fighting in front of them and how
dirty they fight. You, you bitch! Don't have
any grounds to speak on this shit when you couldn't
put your money where your mouth was, you bitch.
Like, you didn't even get in the ring. You don't
have a say in this stuff. Okay? You can't talk
about the fight or how dirty it is or, like,
whether or not what people are doing. Like, don't
comment on this shit if you had the opportunity
to be in the fight but then chose not to be in
it. Okay? Ah. J. Cole again. Now, some will discredit
me, try white boy my pedigree, but please find
a ninja out that's rapping this incredibly. Again,
you dumb bitch. You discredited yourself. That's
what you did. Take some fucking responsibility
for your decisions. I didn't fault you for stepping
out of the rap battle, but your inability to
accept responsibility for that decision, right?
That's what makes you a bitch. Plain and simple.
Okay? You don't get to say you're the best when
you won't fight the best. That's a coward, right?
That's a coward that doesn't believe all the
hype that he himself spews. You can't talk tough
shit about being the best and not be willing
to go toe -to -toe with the best. Rap battles
don't have to be ugly mudslinging, so stop using
that shit as an excuse. Look, after the whole
thing with Drake and Kendrick, rap, you know,
we saw from like Joey Badass and Ray Vaughn and
Daylight and all these others that you can have
a friendly spar to see who's the best. And it
doesn't have to go down that route of going ugly,
right? It went sideways with Drake and Kendrick,
but that was only because Drake tapped into his
true bitch form and started launching accusations
about Kendrick and his family. But you didn't
have to do any of that. You did not have to engage
in any mudslinging. You just decided not to engage
at all. Again, that's fine. Like, look, nobody
is faulting you for stepping out of the battle,
but... But then you need to own the consequences
of that, which is that you now no longer get
to make any claims about being the best. You
put yourself in that spot. No one else. If anybody
tries to argue with me on this point, you don't
know anything about hip -hop. Like, I'm going
to stand on that shit, okay? Rap battles don't
have to be nasty and ugly. It could get that
way. We've had history of some of it going sideways
in that way. But there's a lot of rap battles
where people are able to be fine afterwards,
okay? But here's the thing, like, you cannot,
you cannot say I'm going to bow out of it and
then still continue to talk the big talk. That's
double speak. That's what it feels like, right?
Look, because you did this to yourself and continue
to refuse to take responsibility for it, like
you did again in Bronx Zoo later on, okay? Your
words ring hollow when you say shit like... reminding
these folks why we did it. It's not for beefing.
It's for speaking out thoughts, pushing ourselves,
reaching the charts, reaching our minds, deep
in our hearts, screaming to find emotions to,
what is it? Something that's to open you up,
help you cope with the rough times and shit.
Like, look, you ain't done shit to touch any
hearts, open shit up, okay? If you were really
about that, you'd shut the fuck up about being
the best and just focus on impacting people in
this meaningful way. I get the sense that you're
a confused little child. You're trying to present
yourself as someone that is about love and peace
and becoming a better version of yourself, but
your words and actions honestly say otherwise.
If you're really about what you say, then stand
on it and focus on spreading that love and peace.
Stop opening up your bitch -ass mouth about being
the best. I have no problem with you doing one
or the other. It's you who seems to want to have
it both ways. You seem to want to puff out your
chest, be all braggadocious, and then claim that
you're not really about that, but rather about
inspiring others. It's your raps. It's not mine.
It's your raps. It's your words. You can't have
it both ways. You're fucking confused yourself,
right? Which one are you really about? Because
from what I see in your music, I see someone
who just doesn't know himself or hasn't accepted
that. They are who they are, right? Like, look,
you could go ahead and brag all you want. Just
stand on it. Or you could say like, hey, I don't
really care about that kind of stuff. I care
more about, you know, uplifting people or bringing
peace and, you know, opening up minds and hearts.
Then focus on that, okay? You want to try to
do both? You can try, but right now, it honestly
feels like you're a confused child that are...
It's being pulled in two different directions
and don't know which way they want to go. They
want to have it both ways. Okay? And these things
don't fit together. More than anything, instead
of figuring yourself out, you're out here pointing
fingers at other people and then accusing, in
a sly, bitch -ass way, that other people are
engaging in some shady, mud -slinging type shit.
Bitch, take some responsibility. Do some real
introspection. Here's some suggestions. Based
on what I've seen from you, J. Cole, here's some
suggestions. Because this is what I see. You're
inauthentic. So let's start there and find out
why. You seem to be very focused on how others
see you instead of who you truly are, which would
explain why you're inauthentic. So I think this
is a good place to start. You seem to still crave
validation from others to be seen as a best instead
of just doing and actually being your best. That's
some bitch shit to be so overly focused on what
other people think of you. Figure out why the
fuck you crave that validation, right? Are you
insecure? Were you not loved enough as a kid?
I don't know your life. You need to figure that
shit out for yourself. What I can tell you is
I see all that insecurity just oozing out of
you. What I can tell you is this. As long as
you keep avoiding looking in the fucking mirror
and asking yourself why you're saying and doing
the shit that you're doing, you're going to continue
avoiding responsibility, trying to present yourself
as something you're not, and just continue being
a bitch the way that you've been acting the last
couple years. And honestly, longer. It's time
to grow the fuck up. And I know that doesn't
happen overnight. It takes years of working on
yourself. Trust me, I'm speaking from personal
experience. But it seems, based off of what I've
seen, that this is not what you're doing. At
least it's not showing in your music. So I'm
going to make a prediction. The fall off your
next album is going to be more of this bitch
assness spewing out of your mouth. I have no
interest in listening to any more of this bitch
assetry. So fuck your album. Until you show up
as a grown man, I won't be listening to any more
of your bitch music.
