Jul 6, 2015 I personally think J. Cole is the most talented artist that has ever walked the earth. I am talking, all time. Who agrees? I make my case for why in this article on Global Grind: http://globalgrind.com/2015/04/14/why-thuglife-is-as-relevant-today-as-it-was-when-tupac-was-alive/. The article is 25 reasons why Tupac's theory of THUGLIFE is just as relevant today as it was when he was active in the game. J. Cole is the 25th reason. Read it, sit with it and respond. Peace out y'all. - Arielle*
Jul 6, 2015 you post an article written by yourself and try to pass it off as not that, as your article has almost nothing to do with j cole until #25 on your list where you mention him for no real or valid reason forreal, if you're gonna pick a rapper who continues to spread 2pac's messages, nearly 99% of people will say ke drick, not cole welcome to s80, you've already made a horrible first impression
Jul 6, 2015 also cole being THUGLIFE this isn't a knock at cole but the dude is pretty far from THUGLIFE just cuz you like him and he said he was inspired by pac doesn't make him the next living incarnate of pac
Jul 6, 2015 ....That was a good read. I like Cole, and he is one of the greats, to me. Actually, I think Cole to some extent does do some good. He's renting out his childhood home for struggling mothers, and since he too came from a broken home, always says to take care of the very being you took part in creating. And that's just two examples. Now I know it seems hard to believe that someone outside Kendrick can have messages, but Cole holds it down, his way. You can down play it, dismiss it, or whatever. But that doesn't take away for the few that that thinks he got it.
Jul 6, 2015 No ones saying cole is bad or doesn't have messages, but d--- 'greatest artist to ever walk the earth' is way overexagerating Thats like calling the hunger games books the finest pieces of literature ever written or some s---
Jul 6, 2015 Everyone says that about someone though, some reactions in this thread was like....woah....calm down...but I agree. Even I don't talk about him that way but....s---....
Jul 6, 2015 If you already want to crown someone from this generation the greatest, you can actually make a really great argument for Drake. Cole ain't nowhere near. Not because he's wack, but because he lacks general recognition. When people who dont listen to rap know your s---, then you know youre f---ing doing it. Thats the case with Pac, thats the case with Drake and Kendrick.
Jul 6, 2015 Do I think he's one of the best rappers alive? Maybe.... But the best of all time? Not even his stans think that. J Cole doesn't even think that.
