Why is J. Cole Underappreciated?

 

      If you're a big hop hop fan right now,there's one thing that is given any time top three of this generation are mentioned the names that pop into our head are;
• J. Cole
•Kendrick Lamar
•Drake

      I am 100% in support of the first two as easily the greatest rappers of this generation. I do not agree with Drake because he's not as good as he used to be, usually people would say "he's gone soft" but I say he's gone pop.

   Now Kendrick Lamar and Drake have been well carried by the media and have been recognized with awards by the Grammy's but why hasn't J. Cole been recognized?. I am a massive J. Cole fan(he's my favorite artist) and I know he left the limelight to live a "realer" life with his family and the people he loves most and even with lack of publicity and promotion, he manages to still make double platinum albums and he doesn't compromise his artistry for pop songs like drake. So why hasn't he won a Grammy? Is it because he makes "woke" or "conscious" music? Or is it because he calls out people in the industry for what they are a bunch of snakes.

     J. Cole got snubbed this year even though he made one of the most touching albums of year and some people call it "boring" but the truth is,it was a deep and very meaningful album. Some might say it's not as good as 2014 forest hill drive(which didn't win a Grammy!) but I feel they're both on par but 2014 FHD just has better replay value.

     I get so angry and frustrated that people call J. Cole boring because he's not always on that "booty and ass" shit and because he doesn't make trap beats. J. Cole ever since the days of Friday Night Lights(one of the best mixtapes ever created) has always been versatile, simple and very touching. His songs are deep and relatable,I mean this man made a song about him having sex for the first time and it was a beautiful and hilarious story.

     I just don't get how artists like Migos,21 savage,Lil Yatchy,Xxxtentacion and the rest get more recognition in the music game than J. Cole.  That shit doesn't add up at all it pains me so much that I had to talk about even though I didn't think I'd post stuff about music artists here. I am not a fan of trap at all I love "rap" music and that's why am a fan of big dogs like;

• J. Cole
•Joey Bad@$$
•Phora
•Logic
•Joyner Lucas
•Chance The Rapper
•NF
•Childish Gambino
 •Tyler the Creator
     I don't know why I posted this,maybe it's because it pisses me off...or maybe it's because I just love J. Cole and the Whole Dreamville team(especially Ari Lennox),I don't know really but I have said how I feel.

Euphoria: Back With A Bang!

Written By
  After taking the world by storm in 2019, critically acclaimed HBO phenomenon Euphoria returns with its second season and from the looks of the premiere episode, it’s going to make its debut season look like child’s play.  Please note, there might be mild spoilers ahead The first episode of Euphoria’s sophomore season starts off like previous episodes, with an opening containing background info on a specific character and this time around, it’s none other than super chill fan favorite Fez. We get to find out about how his childhood was, how his surrogate little brother Ashtray came about and why he does what he does. As someone who already loved Fez before this, I have to say having more insight on his background really adds more depth to his character.  After our flashback opening the story moves to the new year which is after the Rue euphoria special which took place in Christmas where she went to a diner with Ali to talk about her life and issues with substance abuse....

Samurai Jack's Finale Review!

Written By
If you grew up watching jack try to defeat aku and you got sad cause you never got a conclusion well the new season given to you by adult swim got you covered...it has 10 episodes and most weren't the best but they all had top notch voice acting and animation. The finale episode picks up were episode 9 left off with Aku capturing our awesome samurai and Ashi still in control of Aku.It's not Aku unless he gloats so in typical fashion Aku streamed a live video of samurai Jack chained and about to be killed...it was funny because he used the montage of the original show, which was a nice nod.All those who jack has helped since season 1 watched as he was tortured and they all joined together to attack Aku's headquarters... They all fired at Aku but with him being all powerful he wasn't affected....While all this was happening my guy Jack was trying to bring his babe back to the light side so he can slide into her DM😂😂😂...am just kidding he just wanted her to su...

HATING ON AD ASTRA

Written By
Ad Astra is a space movie. It tries to depict what could be the future advancement of humanity and technology. It is a James Gray movie led by Brad Pitt that does not deserve to be seen more than twice. The second watch being a stretch. In all my life, I don't remember taking three days to finish a movie. I saw Justice League, End Game, The Godfather I and II, etc in one sitting, but not Ad Astra. While some might argue that the pace is perfect, I counter, asking, "To what end?"  Ad Astra is a space movie revolving around Roy McBride and unresolved daddy issues that somehow eats badly into his life. Notwithstanding, he's required to get to Neptune and stop a surge that could end human life. Brad Pitt delivers a stellar performance on what cold feels and sounds like with the material he's provided. I will now begin my hate. The music composition is one of the worst space movie compositions as it lacks originality and observable niche. It's a strivin...

Sex Education

Written By
    Sex Education is Netflix's latest addition to their list of unique top notch quality shows. Sex Education is a relevant coming of age show that revolves around teenage sexuality and it's complexities. I feel like most movies or shows that try to tackle subject matter like this end up focusing on glorious sex rather than the very common awkwardness that leads up to it. Sex Education is very raw and authentic, I say this because I relate to it based on the fact that I am a pervert and also a pubescent man-baby.   Sixteen Year Old Otis is an awkward teen living with his mother who happens to be a sex therapist.  Otis's best friend Eric is an openly gay boy in school and he's extremely funny and their friendship is true and strong. When The Headmaster's son who's known for being a big prick both literally and figuratively takes sexual enhancement drugs in order to be able to have great pleasure but he actually takes too much and ends up having an er...
