Holy shit, I've been in my timeskip arc this whole time

People will see me as a J. Cole stan who defends everything he says or does but that’s actually not true, I’m just not afraid to go against the popular narrative and present a different opinion. If you don’t agree with me, that’s cool I appreciate everyone willing to have a conversation 🤝

People who are brutally honest generally enjoy the brutality more than the honesty

I believe the issue of declining literacy is putting us all at risk

Y’all have a bad problem with putting people in boxes or on pedestals and getting mad at them when they don’t stay the way you think they should be.

when that ego wears off, I hope you realize the way you handled shit was evil af

on grief and poetry

Rap is falling apart because it's a literary form of expression and the comprehension of the fans and the artists has never been lower

@LONGLIVE47 I been getting blocked all day 😭

unironically a part of me doesn’t even care about J. Cole and is just mad at how stupid some people are💀

@LONGLIVE47 Between the illiteracy and disingenuity behind the discourse, I'm actually getting pissed off. No way are people really this dense.

hiphop community is genuinely so pathetic and corny atm. i guarantee all your favs have a shit ton of moments where they don’t believe they’re the greatest. ALL your favs. + side note: thinking you’re the best at anything is the biggest skill cap you can give yourself

@Letii_Sunshine Yeah. Even if I hated my job, humility and gratitude are what keep your cup full.

Honesty, would you show up to work after hitting the lottery for 2 million dollars ?

everyone is so emotionally intelligent these days that they completely miss the part where love sometimes mean being patient with someone who’s still figuring things out

J. Cole reveals that he originally wanted to have both Drake and Kendrick Lamar perform at Dreamville Fest in 2024 👀 "Way before Kendrick's song dropped, he was supposed to come. I was trying to get Kendrick to come too... When we was on tour, I'm like, 'It'd be crazy if both of y'all came out at Dreamville Fest.'" (Via 7PM in Brooklyn)

@XXL Rare W headline from XXL

J. Cole is separating the bars from real life, making it clear his “best rapper alive” talk doesn’t reflect how he actually feels day to day. 👀 The Dreamville rapper says he doesn’t walk around thinking he’s the best, explaining that mindset only kicks in when he’s in rap mode. Speaking on 7PM in Brooklyn, Cole broke down how that confidence is more of a persona he taps into while recording. He also pointed to elite lyricists like Black Thought, Lupe Fiasco, Drake and Kendrick Lamar as artists who can outshine anyone on a given day, including himself. Thoughts? 💭

I’m in love with this sentence: “The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”

Weirdos are always posting Doestoevsky quotes on here but no one posts the best piece of solid advice The Brothers Karamazov gives you

James Baldwin knew love

Even the artists hate the way yall interpret the art. The rappers yall are fans of would resent yall if you were standing in front of them.

@Mrgiveherback_ @KingWow You ain't saying anything of substance. If you don't have anything to elaborate beyond the fact that you don't get it, you can kick rocks. Beefing for beef's sake is for Drake fans.

@poetsnaps @KingWow That was a genuine question because you presented this terrible comparison.

Damn this might be the most embarrassing confession I’ve ever seen from a rapper. Wow.
