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.

Wreck It Ralph: Ralph Breaks The Internet

Written By
Ralph Breaks The Internet is the sequel to Wreck It Ralph which i didn't know i needed. The film starts of six years after the first film with Vanellope and Ralph living their daily lives at the arcade with the only different thing now is the fact that Vanellope is tired of her own game. She wants to get a new exciting experience and so she ’s basically depressed about how repetitive her life is which is basically the struggle of every teenager and yes, she’s pretty much a teenager even though she’s stuck in the age of a child. When Ralph tries to make Vanellope’s game more exciting by creating a driving course,this ultimately leads to the gamer breaking the steering wheel when she can’t control her car due to Vanellnope driving of the controlled course to go to the one Ralph created. Without Cree 1stthe steering wheel, her game gets abandoned and without a game, she has no purpose so Ralph and Vanellope must travel to the internet to get it from E-bay. With such a...

Mowgli:Legend Of The Jungle

Written By
  Mowgli legend of the jungle is an adaptation of the book "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling which inspired the creation of the Disney classic of the same name.  That said Disney classic got the live action treatment sometimes last year and it got praised for it faithfully stating true to the Disney classic and for its incredibly photorealistic CGI.  Mowgli tells the story of the jungle book again but this time, it isn't based on the Disney film but rather the original source material by Rudyard Kipling.  Disney's the jungle book wasn't a straight up faithful adaptation but it managed to stick to major plot points of the book and this film tries to flesh out those plot points by giving all the characters a realistic backstory that doesn't make characters beside the Man Cub feel like they're only there for plot convenience.  I haven't read book by Rudyard Kipling but I know this film is a more faithful adaptation than the Disney film.   Dire...

Who Would Win? Batman Vs Spiderman

Written By
Okay before I start I'd like you all to know I am not being partial in any way at all. I had this argument with my friend Andrea a couple of days back and now I feel like sharing on who I think would win,but I realised they are two perspective 1-choosing a winner based on accomplishment 2-choosing a winner based on powers or strengths 1- this perspective is basically saying "oh look at this let's check out both characters accomplishments",they both have taken down a large amount of enemies ranging from smart villains to dumb ones,they've both faced foes that are big and strong. So it's only reasonable to think Batman would win here,not by a long shot though because Spiderman is a force to be reckoned with. Batman has basically done more important things,he has defeated Superman severally,dodged darkseid's omega beams,outsmarted braniac,I mean the man is a bit fluent in kryptonian and he knows several martial art skills and he's just a human......

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...
