''J. Cole is the future of this hip hop shyt.'' Don't hate. As someone whom has listened to The Blow Up, The Come Up, Warm Up, and FNL, I know what Jermaine brings. The guy is the the only music I have listened to in like 6 months, besides a little Wale/Budden.
Lyrically, he is a genius, and he kills word-play. Actually raps about his life, and is a great story teller. The knock on him is probably the amount of syllables he uses in his rhymes, but his wordplay/lyrics over-ride that, and I love how he can do his own choruses. Everything he says has a meaning behind it, and he doesn't rap just to rhyme words like Drake and co.
BTW - I got into Cole like 2 years ago?
My J. Cole favorites are:
FNL:
Too Deep For the Intro
Autograph
2Face
Farewell
Premeditated Murder
In The Morning
Villematic
The Warm Up:
Dreams
Can I Live
Doller and a Dream 2
Ladies
Badness
Heartache
Lights Please
The Come Up:
Simba
Dead Pres 1
Get It
College Boy
Homecoming
My top 5 (no order): Simba, Autograph, Dreams, Heartache, 2Face.
