1. ? Boring (although the song bangs and i was nodding my head)
2. His Production sucks (but i like gritty beats just like this one)
3. This isnt single worthy (but its not about girls and money like i said i didnt want it to be)
4. He has no subject matter (the song has a double meaning that i skipped through)
This guy knows the ic well -

Don't forget "Cole Lost, FFOE" -
Maybe if he would've added a bit more to the beat it would've been better. it kind of seems like with a little bit more stuff added it would've really been nice.
Maybe if he collaborated with a few folks outside of his usual circle it could help cultivate a better sound as far as his beat selection goes. The guy got talent and that is clear to see though -
What is it about J. Cole that makes ? want to be an A&R or executive producer on the IC?
-
My only issue with him as always been his production, i don't know why these ? thinking they can pull a Kanye, RZA or Dre. Very few productions make good artist and vice versa.
As for J Cole, alot of his beats are very mechanical sounding to me. His beats don't have a smoothness to it like how a premo, dre, just, kanye,etc does and his drums are ehhhh. My ears know what it likes. -
The song is dope to me. I think I'm the only person that doesn't have problem with Cole's production.
-
His production isn't even that bad imo.
-
This is probably the only beat by cole that i thought was actually boring:

For all the people who say that he's borin, is it his production or him as a rapper? -
J Cole isn't boring imo, it's his production. Listen to him when he is rhyming on Kanye's beats, Just Blaze beats,etc. He sounds lively, it's like Eminem when he rhymes on his own beats compared to Dre beats. It's just different!
To me if you're gonna be a content heavy rapper, your beats have to slap. It's why people say Nas beats suck.
Kendrick has content, but he selected the right production and that's why his album is dope imo. -
yea most of my homies do think the ? is boring as ? . It;s a combo of both. At times he doens't hold my attention at all and sorta just rambles off topic. Like on Nobody's Perfect. Then you got folks who want metaphors and clever wordplay so to them his style might be boring. He doesn't have the loud 808 sounding beats to go along with that ? . So that adds to it. And let's not forget his personality doesn't help. Seems more laid back and really not out there much. The ? always looks awkward and outta place. ? look outta place in his own music video.

and also i can see how swimming pools can be considered commercial...just coz the msg is dark dont mean it cant be commercial...? is a catchy song and we know ? aint listening to nothing but beats n hook
Me and one of my boys was laughing at the idea of people in the club partying to Swimming Pools when it's a song about essentially about not being an alcoholic -
just listened to everything he dropped this year
How is this ? not by far the best ? to come out recently
edit:did anybody know workout got 40 million views on youtube ? -
The one thing J Cole is missing from his repertoire to make him a complete artist is, he needs to learn how to make bangers.

Cosign, IMO Cole is still the best of the new crop of artists that's come out since 09
? on this board have some unusual hate for J.Cole that I dont even wanna know about
But I think I know where it comes from
-
Yeah, I'm a major Cole fan, and I don't ? with his production too tough.. ? be sounding stale sometimes.. only producers that I can think of that are great at making beats from scratch are The Neptunes.. Cole is much better when he samples..
-
"The best out, foolish pride'll make you not admit it
But if this ? ain't fire ? , why you noddin' with it?
The hate in your blood can't stop your soul from vibin' with it
Now you all conflicted cause my flows is wicked"
Seems like Cole was referring to some of you hatin ass ?
-
