therefore it all comes back to him as a person...HE didn't expect to sell that much...humble is a reflection of the person...what is being humble is therefore him
it's about him feeling humble by the numbers

...Yeah, he's humbled by the numbers, by how many fans he has.

That has nothing to do with his opinions about the industry. In fact, that same humbling by his fans validates his views on the industry.

Being humbled by success is not the same thing as being a humble person. This is not difficult.

Just because YOU run at the sight of the F word and couldn't grasp what he was saying with that line, that doesn't make him homophobic

[Sinister]

and i've been a fan of him for a long time...so

[Eternium]

His best song is a single featuring Miguel, though. I'mma need him to come off this high horse and serve me "Power Trip" 2.0.

His whole campaign's been marketed around this, though.

"My album! So deep! So personal! No hype! No single! No radio!"

Mindless hip-hop stans: "Wow! Deep! Raw! Edgy! Real thing!"

It's just hype. The album has a mediocre Metacritic rating. There's less substance than he thinks there is.

I do agree a lot of rappers nowadays have been just been following trends (running to Mustard), doing unnecessary features (YMCMB), valuing business over art wanting to be the next Jay-Z(Hold You Down video), or just putting out mumbling garbage (Chief Kief, Young Thug, Bobby Shmurda, ILOVEMAKONNEN).

[SneakerNerd]

So now he's "homophobic trash"? Some of you are hilarious. Don't make accusations like that because you weren't able to comprehend.

Explain to me how this isn't homophobic?

My verbal AK slay ******s
And I don't mean no disrespect whenever I say ******, okay ******
Don't be so sensitive
If you want to get ****ed in the ass
That's between you and whoever else's dick it is
Pause, maybe that line was too far
Just a little joke to show how homophobic you are

It's awkward and offputting. How would he feel if someone called him a mulatto or a ****** and said dont be so sensitive, said they didn't mean any disrespect and then turned it around and said he's racist for being offended.

It's faux deep but actually very shallow, like all his songs.

[Life Savers]

Wow, how humble.

Being humbled by something is not the same thing as being a humble person. This is not difficult.

it's hard to separate the two...because him selling so much still has to do with the music industry...these two entities are not mutually exclusive

this literally reads as "if you didn't serve trash you could sell as much as i did"
it doesn't read any other way...he could've said "this is a lesson to the music industry...don't doubt me" and then no one would have a problem

[SneakerNerd]

Who knew J. Cole could get the girls, who barely know anythjng about Hip-Hop and its culture, so bothered?

The line explains it all. If you agreed with the first few lines (the joke - however, done in poor taste), it just shows you how homophobic you actually are.

There will soon come a day when people in general, and rap artists specifically, are going to have to answer for their past usage of the word [the f word] much like the Grandfathers who are ashamed that they used the word [the n word] as kids. At a time when public acceptance of gay rights is soaring (rightfully), hip-hop culture and general are still battling with homophobia (not excluding myself). Rather than run from it I chose to attack it playfully. Those lyrics are meant to make everyone uncomfortable for the sake of this very conversation.

There you go

[konaa]

People with Ariana Grande and Lily Allen in their avatars and sigs calling something- J. Cole, of all rappers- shallow and mindless. You'd certainly know, sis.

[EnoughSaid]

He's humbled by supporters not by his trash peers you dummies. I can't with sensitivity on this forum when it comes to men, please stop acting hurt. Cole his album is GENIUS goodbye

and he better clock all our favs

There isn't anything ironic about this? Are you implying Iggy's mediocre Metacritic score is undeserved? J. Cole thinks he's serving some D'Angelo mess. J. Cole is serving me "I smoked a blunt & now let me write a song called 'Wet Dreamz'" tea.

J. Cole is overrated. His album is overrated. He's hype & faux-humble-bravado. That's it. And before any of you ~ATRL Hip Hop Connoisseurs~ w/ your PhD in ~Authentic~ Rap Stanning come for me… please don't even try.

Just because your album is selling doesn't mean that it's more than it really is.

"You make a gay ***** wanna reconsider"

"That line was meant to be offensive"

Idgaf what his intention was or how he tried playing it off. By no means does it justify him using the word

Anyway.
