A leak of J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive album includes a track called “Fire Squad,” which calls out several White artists.
“History repeats itself and that’s just how it goes,” J. Cole raps on the track. “Same way that these rappers always bite each other’s flows/ Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with rock ‘n’ roll / Justin Timberlake, Eminem and then Macklemore.”
Later in his verse, J. Cole takes aim at the recent success of Australian rapper Iggy Azalea.
“While silly nigga argue over who gon’ snatch the crown,” J. Cole raps. “Look around my nigga, White people have snatched the sound / This year I’ll be probably go to the awards dappered down / Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile.”
J. Cole ends the exchange by saying that he’s joking.
“I’m just playin’, but all good jokes contain true shit,” J. Cole raps. “Same rope you climb up on. They’ll hang you with.”
“Fire Squad,” track six on the leaked version of J. Cole’s album, is slated to officially be released as part of 2014 Forest Hills Drive December 9.
The album, which is named for the address of Cole’s home, was previewed last week for fans in North Carolina.
In the album’s final track “Note To Self,” J. Cole further elaborates on the notion of the Hip Hop crown.
“Man shout out Drizzy Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Wale,” J. Cole says. “I’m sorry I had to snatch the crown from ya’ll right quick. I had to do it to show niggas there ain’t no more fuckin’ crowns man. We gotta be the example…it’s our responsibility to show these niggas that there is love up here…you want drama, fuck that we are coming together.”
J. Cole’s previous album, Born Sinner, was released in June 2013 and was certified gold.
Cole announced that he is currently working on upcoming projects Truly Yours 4 EP and Revenge of The Dreams. Cole’s Dreamville record label is partnered with Interscope.
J. Cole described his view on realness in Hip Hop in a documentary released to accompany the album release.
“I’ve gotten to this point in my career and realized that, yeah I got a lot more dreams and I wanna go further, but at the same time, I don’t want it if it’s at the expense of my happiness,” J. Cole says in the documentary. “And I don’t want it if it’s at the expense of my sanity or if I have to become someone who’s so out of touch with what’s real: the people that love you and the people that you love. There’s a lot of people in Hollywood right now who have been there for a long time and they’ve forgotten about their small-town lives because they like this life better. But this shit ain’t real.”

u all are idiots if u think thats a diss . lol
finally someone is telling the truth
props for that Cole
jcole aint got no buisness talkin smack when he this boring
I’m glad someone acknowledged that hiphop is being white washed, but it’s also becoming light skin washed as well. Just like there’s white privilege, there’s light skin privilege. Lighter skinned black people on average, make more money than other black people, are hired more, and are more preferred in general by the dominate society. If J Cole had darker skin he would be Wale, let’s keep it all the way real. I know he’s been vocal about this in a line or two, but it would have been nice to hear him address it in this song, if he’s going to call white people out. I’m not impressed
All of these dark or brown skin celebs that’s out now or just successful period. You sound stupid as usual and I’m not impressed.
Aint this dude moms white??……smh.
“I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley/ To do black music so selfishly / And used it to get myself wealthy – Actual Eminiem Lyrics
Jay-Z warned him not to do it. Now hes gonna get renegaded by Slaughterhouse.
when ever black rappers speak negatively about white rappers it makes them look extremely racist. i think if thats gonna be the case. white rappers have just as much a right to speak the same way about black rappers. im not white nor black but shits gotta be even now. its gonna be 2015 and HipHop is still Racist
this half breed has a white momma so maybe he should take his own advice and GTFO. Music has no color. I dont hear white folk whining about black people dominating the sport of basketball which they invented.
Look up any NBA related video on YouTube and look in the comments. You’ll be surprised.
we;re not talking about commenters, we’re talking about the people in the sport and the culture
White Mom, get off the black Dck! You probably jump on it as much as J cole mother did. Ya’ll racist and like our culture. Now that is some backward a** sht!
Man i like J cole alot but he is white lol.. you have a black dad who bounced and got raised by your white mother in NC.
what an original story
Jermaine lost the moment he referred to Elvis Presley as “his nigga”
why would he mention wale when talking about the crown, lol nigga is trash, like waley dough?
Is he trying to say Eminem bit someones flow or style? Marshall Mathers is blacker than Jermain Cole if you ask me…
Masta Ac, Treach…need we say more
Masta Ace (fuck DX)
masta ace? LOL foh maybe back in the old old old days..masta ace cant rhyme like em now..when em is on the radio you know its him..when masta ace is on the radio(in nyc) you gotta youtube the song name to see who the artistis.
Nah, YOU have to go on you tube and in the immortal words of someone whose culture you are trying to steal ‘YOU MUST LEARN’, Google or you tube that. The Elvis syndrome won’t happen twice.
HOw the hell does Wale keep getting mentioned with J Cole, Drake and Kendrick? Nigga is no where close to them.
Yes he is. All of them are equally wack.
Wale dope
r.i.p JCole..Slaughterhouse is gonna destroy u
lol iw as thinkin same thing but idk we’ll jus have 2 see wut happens. 1 thing i do know is 50 cent & slaughterhouse dont fuk around when it comes 2 some1 name droppin Eminem.
^^^ Shut up you corny white faggot. You wish. They’re not going to say or do shit. Delusional homo.
^Why you mad son? Cuz the white boy Marshall gets more love from your own race than you do? Faggot
HAHAHAHAHA what a funny comment, too bad eminem blows ass now. If he had the slim shady flow/lyrics then I would be concerned. That nigga is doin the shittiest songs with the shittiest pop artists. His flow is way too fast and all over the place. RIP EM
your buggin.. youtube SHADY CXYPHER and let me know what you think LMAO
eminem in song mode vs battle mode is like winter and summer.
Damn right slaughterhouse gonna be all over this nigga. Sorry cole straight facts. Coles biggest inspiration is Nas and Nas even says em is one of the greats so for cole to make that comment is arrogant my nigga
Aside from the racist Iggy there should be no problem with people who are white, rapping. It doesn’t matter who started it. It’s an art form that anyone should be able to enjoy and create.
I know… we never hear about painters whining because other races took up their art form and were more successful at it than they were
70% of J Cole records are likely purchased by white boys
Same with Kendrick and Drake.
same w/ any main stream rapper.
^ Not true. There are some rappers white people don’t buy from.
Time to blow the dust off that chainsaw Em…
Angry battle-Em has to come back.
hopefully he awakens the beast
Cole is betraying his true race
the police officer who killed eric garner will not be idicted
This has sparked my interest in this album.
I wouldn’t necessarily call it a diss like the headline states… but you know how dx loves to make shit more than it really is to spark bullshit controversy
say what you will, but eminem has earned everything he has. being white helped but, he had to convince people that he was truly talented and not a one hit wonder such as vanilla and others and he did. j cole is still my favorite mc doing it at the moment ahead of kendrick.
eminem is a devil
“being white helped but -”
Being white does not help in hip hop, it’s a lot of bullshit to deal with. Case in point: this article. “Oh look, another WHITE BOY trying to RAPE the culture and STEAL the sound.”
Jermaine go to your room you’re grounded. This is a cheap way to get publicity for your album.
Y is it always light skins that act the most racist n gota say sum shit!? Like there tryna compensate or sum stupid shit…. This fools mother is white, what an asshole
You sir are an idiot. Who gives a flyin’ funk about how light his skin is or if he is half white. Blackness is deeper than that and you prove that well. I am assuming you are full black and darker that J. Cole right? Yet here you are in that old light-skin black-skin divide and conquer method, while he is trying to uplift his people. Just go bury yourself somewhere man. Dumb brothers and sisters like you are just harmful to the community and zero good.
That is exactly what it is. Light-skinned rappers always on the conspiracy theory shit. They’re half white and feel like they need to hate white people harder to be cool, it’s embarrassing.
Good comment
I wonder how albums sales break down according to a race and skin colour.
Cole aint been poppin since lights please.
J. Coles last album was a classic! How many rappers go gold these days if their album is decent? I got the answer…none. His lyrics are on point. Heck, what the h e l l is Em rapping about… He can flow but his lyrics are garbage! NAS > EM.
FACT
jcole doesnt want those probs with eminem..ems a legend in the game macklemore and iggy i can see what he means but eminem is true to form, from the group up..hes MADE his place.
if eminem does respond RIP
Wow he named like 3 prominent white artists that every black artist can’t shut the fuck up about like it’s some civil rights issue. “Eminem is popular, this might as well be blackface!”
*there…I know I know…oh the irony lol…
ur trolling is pathetic. kill yoself
J.COLE CAN SUCK A D!CK… POP STAR…
J.Cole needs to learn to read. ELvis was from the hood and didn’t steal from anybody. FAIL.
Stop it white boy. Plenty of proof that Elvis stole black music and our moves. There is too much proof and the internet can shed some light. Stop being so Da*n ignorant!
he said “our moves” like he contributed something to black music LOL
Dear J. Cole,
You might get some negative responses for this song but stick to what you say. Don’t retract later on just because comfortable Negroes don’t get it. Hip hop is full of fakers, self haters, sell outs and the ignorant. Don’t flip.
Isn’t J cole half white this doesnt seem authentic coming from a light skin nigga smh i agree with the iggy and macklemore but you dont want with em he would eat this soft ass getting dissed by Diggy Simmons smh Eminem more black than J cole gtfo with that shit. I also believe their is such a thing as light skin privilege. All light skin niggas have a huge female fan base because their attractive to girls drake is a prime example every thing the dude puts out goes numba 1 and when you here his songs they just regular trap music that every nigga in the south make. If drake was tge one to put out “Hot Nigga” instead of bobby shurmda it would have been numba 1 on billboard smh
What makes you think J. Cole is half white? Plenty of light skinned people in my family and they aren’t half white. You must be a white boy that got offended. Plenty of ya’ll want to be us so bad, behind ya little keyboards acting like you know hip hop. F’in jokes. And you rant is coming from a 13 yr. old BOY. Light skinned or not, J. Cole has the Soul of the original man from Africa. Peace.
@alginyes – since when you got a white mom you ain’t half white? What planet you live on…
His mom is pure white
yeah ok, where’s the Canibus feature my ninja???
Why are white people on this site? Little Wiggers need to find their own site because rap is definitely not being taken over by them. Not good enough. NAS > Em
FACT
Exactly. You don’t see black people trolling sites relating to their “culture”. We don’t care what they’re doing, but they can’t get enough of ours. lol
Racist Bitch Rap is for anyone who likes music. There is no genre of music for a certain race you are so ignorant!! You probably live in the ghetto and have no education. Your e just mad cause a white dude shits on every black rapper ever!!
i thought black people wanted equal rights. then they go whining about whitey when it happens.
Oh right, condoning racism again are we hiphopdx? Why not go the whole hog and have Azeelia Banks’ tweet saying that she wants to “kill crackers in their sleep”? Also, tonights episode where she once again targets Iggy. Hey, it’s not racism though is it as when it comes from a certain direction.
Now, as the comment below states that “wiggers” aren’t allowed on this site. Then someone else mentions culture. Let me tell you the biggest cultural impact that you are partaking in – it’s called language. So, if you are saying rap/hip-hop is only for black people then make up your own language and stop being the biggest “culture vultures” known to mankind. Now this is an absurd notion just like you can only like rap if you are black. For arguments sake, black people shouldn’t enjoy cinema,(real) art, etc. etc. as this is then white culture as white people created these and many other things I could mention (art can be argued quite easily but certainly favours a certain race if you want to segregate).
I’ve got a good suggestion and one that people seem to want. Let’s go back to barbaric laws for anyone saying, implying or committing any form of racism whether mental or physical and stone them to death in public. The over populated world will soon reach sustainable levels and the intellect and general nature of people will reach a very happy medium.
TLDR (or if you can’t read between the lines) – Fuck segregation and anyone trying to push such actions with pathetic attempts at division. Racism needs to be condoned from anyone who commits it, not just a certain section of the public while idolising the other. When you don’t condone and accept certain factions doing something is when it becomes familiar, present, acceptable and normal. That is when real problems will commence.
what a jealous little bitch
Eminem made a whole dissing black girls and calling them dumb and there was barely any backlash. So you’re wrong.
Did anyone really listen to the track…??? Didn’t sound like a real diss to me, just an artist making an observation.
Anyone who said it was a diss, including this website trying to get some juice off the hype, are being ridiculous. He stated the facts. Hip-hop and rock and roll were black upon inception..white people picked it up..white people won Grammy’s doing it. Roll back the clock and peep the Beach Boys vs. Chuck Berry.. None of this is new folks..
Same way that these rappers always bite each other’s flows/ Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with rock ‘n’ roll / Justin Timberlake, Eminem and then Macklemore.”
you should know what that’s like your half white!! –Nail In the coffin. Last half white guy to diss Em…
Whoever wrote this article is prolly the same idiot who said Cole dissed Drake back in the day. This is NOT EVEN CLOSE to a diss. Go listen to No Vaseline, Real Motherphuckin Gs, You Know What It Is Vol 3… Those are disses! Stop starting drama tards! This is a fire track on a classic album. I always come on this site, but stupid shit like this makes me want to Fuck DX and go elsewhere. You could’ve written an article about what the track is really about rather than making stupid shit up.
This is not a diss. And to the people saying hip hop isn’t for whites… if it wasn’t for the white fans these artists mostly wouldn’t exist since whites buy it 80% of the sales and from them. ever been to a hip hop concert? its always at least half whites no matter what artist you see. You can’t make racist comments like saying something is only for whites or blacks and then complain when a cop beats you for j-walking. its hypocritical.everyone needs to stop the hate not just whites.
Dr Dre shouldn’t be selling headphones! Nathaniel Baldwin created them and now this black dude is stealing his invention. What a joke.
George Beauchamp and Adolph Rickenbacker invented the guitar, then these black people come along to use our instrument that we made music with and say white people can’t play music with this instrument.
Bartolomeo Cristofori invented the piano which then evolved into pipe organ, keyboard etc. but then these black come along and use the instrument created by white people to make music with and only they can enjoy.
If you really want to label a race as “culture vultures” who are they? Stick to using animal skin over a cylinder if you want your own culture.
WRONG FUCKING OBSERVATION!!!!how long this vanilla soft dick rapper been in the game and already seeing observations that questions white rappers who have proved muuuuuuch more than he will ever do in this game.Plain stupid,stay humble and continue to rap soft loveshit over soft ass beats.Hell,even timberlake will outrap this wannabe nas since he so wanna sound like a conscious rapper wHen he was a kid in diapers in the true era of rap,NWA,eminem,krs one,nas,pacand the list goes on.hope EM will expose these wannabe in the limelight rappers j cole,tyler bugeater with real rap that they obviously cant understand since its not “INDIEDIFFERENTRAP” WITH TIMBERLAKE ON THE HOOK!!Can understand observations on macklemore,but EM,CMON SON!ED LOVER voice!Nerve on these guys trying to sound different like their about to change culture, and moaning about hip hop and question real mc
s when all they release is MIA on the charts!Laughable,lmao!!!Shadys number 1!crooked i!Have to say that i know sales dont count since some stupid 13 year old gonna bring it up,but J FUCKIN COLE?!!!!!?He hasnt earned the right to make observations on ESPECIALLY EM!since he raps like brandy with a dick!Know its not a diss but i personally get pissed in the head when he even makes “observations” on legends and questions the game!True story!End rant!Instead of idolising all these fuckheads in rap who if you combined their whole I.Q would barely reach double figures why don’t you look up to Chris Rock and the likes who actually posses intellect.
The beats are catchy and it plays to your ego but when it comes down to hanging on words you don’t want to be paying too much attention if you want to live in a society which prevails for all of mankind.
And fuck Tyler the creator!!!Crying on stage over the guy who made happy and the shittiest album in years,GIRL!Stay neptune,but what yo call “rap game” these days is tyler crying over a marilyn monroe beat prod by pharrell.Dont get me wrong,LOOOVE Pharrell,especially all neptunes produced tracks back in the day,but all of it has gone aaaaaaaaaaass these days.Such a shame Tyler cant call out an album that sounds like queefs from pharrell but dear to questions a lyrical RAP ALBUM from shady.Guess he revealed himself as some real SOFTRAPR&BCELINEDIONSHIT LOVER!!Go cry to pharrell in wipe your tears in that green “rugrats shirt” that you always wear you “culturechangingphenomenon”!!Stay out of real lyrical rapshit!End rant 2!
I wouldn’t say eminem sounds black… honestly macklemore either but you can’t tell me they would be as successful as they are if they were black making the same exact music they do. I think that was the point he was making. Hell i listen to justin but he sounds like a black r&b artist… i think robin thicke does too. but they will be more successful because its and predictable and coming from a person they view as “safe” to listen to. I am not even going to discuss iggy… she’s HipHop Hitler but yeah. Not a diss either.
The song was good though… I think this site should start focusing more on the product these artists are putting out than trying to stir up tabloid drama… they are starting to sound like TMZ.
JT and THICKE sound nothing like a black guy on mic.. so what bc a white guy has a lil mojo when he sings he sounds black? nah you can immediately tell their white without any debate
Unrelated to this topic, I read that Cole is working with different producers for this album off Wikipedia (I know, not the most reliable source). Some of the producers listed included Illmind, Cardiak, Vinylz, Organized Noise and Dj Dahi. Seems like Cole is taking notes from KRIT.
yeah this sounds very Dahi like… maybe illmind as well… but the way those kicks and snares hit remind me of GKMC (Money trees, Kill my vibe, and the opening track to be exact). I think its a good move. Krits project was good but Id like krit to change his subject matter a little bit. Hopefully cole can too. I wanna see that progression.
Somebody have tylers and j coles email?Were thinking i could send them some beats since i can make better beats with a calculator and a bell when im on the toilet over some “OOOOHHHH i remember when the game were so and so” lyrics!How do you sell somethin’ that’s so lyrical
To a kid who wouldn’t know what was hittin’ if it hit him?Royce da 5`9 voice.Guess he answered them all and they still couldnt realise it!!!All calmed down,but still had to have a rant 3!!!
So it’s not okay for white people to get into the hiphop game huh? I remember when it wasn’t okay for black people to get into baseball or basketball. Sounds like your being a hypocrite. The better question is why are they watering down the art form with non talented artist. Same thing is going on with EDM. Now you have ghost writing producers for these artist. It bring shame to whatever art form it is.
Theres no other rapper in the game who can rap like em on some technical,punchlines,syllables,schemes rapshit etc besides mabe tech nine and ghost and thats just facts,fuck jay with his artsy raps and im even concerned somebody even mentions drake,lil wayne,rick ross as lyrical rappers!guess it comes to show rap is followed by a buuuuunch of hiiiiiigh 14 year olds.Sure Jay has good songs but on some lyrical level not even close AT AAAAAAALL.Couldnt give less of a shit at how many picassos hIs got hanging above his fireplace and sculptures his got in his kitchen,but still his a legend in my book and faaaaar above j fuckin cole so he better have a word in there!EM the only artist whos got the balls to go against these mainstream ass “iggy azeleasmakinpornomusicvideostosellsingleswhenyoumakemusicfor12-16yearsolds”,kesha technopopshit!But HEEEY their feminists so i guess its allright bullshit!Some will argue he got on a few of those beats,but his lyrics never failed unlike some of these new trashassrappers who just should be glad theyre even mentioned as rappers!WOOOW feelin a little dizzy from these vicodins!End rant 4!
Hardly a diss. Jeezus some of you overreact to the smallest things.
Kendrick,Drake and Wale having the crown? Eminem is the King of Hiphop. J-Cole hasn’t been hot since the warmup. Eminem could end his career with one verse. He should watch his back…
Kendrick the only new rapper em really recognizes,know big sean was on shady xv,but thats only because his from detroit and probably a humble guy and that you can come a long way with that btw,and nothing else!Sure Em brought Tyler with him to Wembley,but only because EM needed some clowns to entertain the audience and keep them warm with some cockroaching eating contests and of course the “who can dress the most immature and greenest even when youre a grown ass man” competition.Take a note out of Earl and stay humble and if you cant do that than just SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO HANG WITH JUSTIN BIEBER and continue idolizing the new breathtaking works that hail all the feminists in the world work by pharrell and hold hands with your moms or the biebs!!!!Prescription drugs got a hold of me and they said to make a rant 5!!!1
Who gives a fuck who Eminem “recognizes”? suck a dick.
Respect & agree w/ that verse. Niggas argue about who sits on the throne all the while white people appropriate hip hop/black culture. Now as for Em, yeah he’s a whiteboy making money off of black culture who probably gets away with more shit than black tappers can, but I dont really look at Em as a culture vulture. He came up the right way.
Look at all these white boys writing paragraphs because an artist they used to dick ride dissed their hero eminem. lol
As i said,it doesnt sound like a diss,but i just dont like the insiunations he makes with these socalled “fresh newer heard before white taking over black music thats existed since day 1 in hip hop observations”!Could understand it if a kool g rap rapped about it since hes been there from the start but a j cole?!!!!?worst thing i know are some terrible rappers trying to hide their awful rapskills by talking about some ooold boooring stuff like white and black in rap in their lyrics to try to sound like a 65 year old conscious rapper that are deeply affected by it with some deep moaning and blaaaaah! and questions greats even if their white or black!just sooooo old!Were probably watching malcom x and crying when he wrote the lyrics and thought he was on some pilgrim path to change the evolution or something!
And there comes no other than SALTY KRACKERS ladies and gentleman and takes the dickridin em route since he cant discuss rap in a real way,but of course understand you dawg!your “krackers havent dropped yet!”Remember david guetta is bad for you kid!
HEEEEEEEEY BAAAAABY Its salty krackers with a K and not a C cause that would be the most intelligent way to speeeeeell the name But hes a kracker ANYWAY though!what do you think of my rapverse there?Any good?i dear anyone to write some fire like that!remember the reference point in the lyrics must be “SALTY KRACKERS” for those of you who dears challenge this barmonster!!!!
What you know bout bein bullied over half your life?
O thats right, you should know what thats like, your half white
Lolololololololol we got another benzino lol we need another beef Personally i think Em would kill J cole this bar from the past already finishes him off
So youre not into em and not into kendrick,what “hiphop are you into my buddy ol pal?
Dont worry ggrgr lil sport!whats your adress?got some of that real milli vanilli shit here i can send you,or was it lil wayne you wanted for christmas little boy?Dont you worry buddy,i
ll come down the chimney for you my man carrying the best of dj khaled just for you sport:)If youve been a really good boy;maybe you can come sit on my lap and ill play you some of that NEEEEEW EXCLUSIVE boyz2men shit just like i know you like it pal!:)Can some of you pleeeease help me out?Some near family wished something of the j cole brand for christmas and i`ve been lookin aaaaaall over town for it.didnt find it in the furniture store nor in the hardware store and not even in the electronics store so i finally came to the conclusion that i need to ask some of you cats for help.What the fuck is a J cole and where can i buy it?Is it some type of tablecloth or silverwarecollection?Help a brotha out!
J.Cole is a motherfucker and u can find him at your mama house fuck nigga!
It’s a fact that a large percent of ems fans ain’t hip hop.
Example. its these people that get on comment boards and say He’s best rapper that ever lived, every other blog post, oblivious or having not the slightest clue on earth who the hell who KRS one is?
that i will agree with you on.. if you not a hip hop head and just like EM due to him being white in this black field then you are messing it up with the true hip hop heads that are actually fans of EM… i do agree with Macklemore and Iggy.. they are not Hip HOp what so ever. happy J Cole exposed them but we as blacks have to do better in subject and the meaning of hip hop .. i mean you have Chief Keef, Migos, and others that are just horrible and is only out for the sound and money.. how are you suppose to put them over a white guy like EM that live breathe and die for hip hop .. answer me that? Jcole Kdot Krit Joey Bad ass, Lupe you guys are hip hop but its not alot of u .. we have this ratchet sound thats taking over the radio waves just due to a chatchy beat or sound smh its sad Hip hop has fallen off and before the other race take over it , blacks better get on there Ps and Qs
Lol I’m a big Wu-Tang, Nas, Pac, Biggie, Eminem, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Rakim, G Rap, Scarface, Onyx, Cypress Hill, etc fan…and still think Krs One sucks, he always did. So stfu with that mess.
i know he was talking about how there is no crown, but wale has never had the crown. ever. just to make that clear.
HAHA GREAT!Sure hope hes a better daddy than a rapper:)And i praaaay hes got more money than my current dad,but i doubt it with his raps!
And dont use that foul language ol palio,remember your better than that esse.HUURRRAAA for my new stepdaddy who cant rap for shiiit even if it hit him!Nickel!HA!
HEEEEY!WHATS all this hatin on my man cole about?hes comin out with a product for you consumers to enjoy!Me myself got the product first hand from my g!and im tellin you its FANTASTIC!You can use it as a coaster, and on a hot sweaty summerday your kids can use it as a frisbee to throw around in the backyard.Last but ooooh no not the least it fits perfectly under the bed!What more can you ask for from my man?!?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahah
This FrankenBerry lookin mafucka need stfu with his corny half white ass XD seriously who likes this geek? Half his corny raps are about females, K.Dot shitted on him, and he didnt respond, because be knows he would’ve had his ass handed to him. He’s half white and wanna judge white rappers (Iggy isn’t a rapper)???
Don’t listen to j cole, but regardless what are u babbling about his complexion for? So what if he is half white? He can judge who he feels. You’re ‘full-stupid’ and wanna judge people who achieve more than you. If you hate light-skinned brothers just say so ya bitch u
AAAND HEEEY! My g cole produced a couple of the tracks to so you know its PERFECT to use to slice bread!
aayyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! fiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre aayyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeee shit with SUBSTANCE SHIT IS TOO REAL AND GOING AT NOT HIS PPL BUT THE ONES THAT ARE OUT THERE MAKING MONEY OFF ARE MUSIC !! NOW THAT SOME SHIT RIGHT THERE!!!
J COLE #FUCKINGTRUTH #BESTRAPPERALIVE #HISTORICSHIT
HEEEEEEY DAAAAAAIIIIIM RIGHT MY G! And its PERFECT for legshaving to!
Well he’s not lying, white A&R’s and record executives have made the hood look like Soho and Disneyland on records when hip hop is an african american and puerto rican artform, these jew label owners don’t know about hip hop culture or the streets. Eminem is excluded in this debate because he’s nice lyrically but the other faggots like Macklemore jumping out the woodwork need to put the mic down.
you can add in that paragraph all the black artists who make the bullshit in order for it to get out.. someone like chief keef had to make chief keef music in order for it to pop, now everyone wants to be migos..
so yeah the rappers who make the shit take 75% of the blame for making the music in the 1st place and represting ur culture like that.. and record companys takes 25% bc its their job to make money id exploit it too bc their is a market for it from black ppl for the dumb shit.
EMINEM IS ALWAYS A LOCK FOR A GRAMMY. EVEN WITH TERRIBLE ALBUMS. IGGY IS ABOUT TO REACH THE SAME STATUS. AT THIS POINT, I’D TAKE ANYTHING OF NIKKI MINAJ. IN 2013 PUSHA T HAD THE BEST ALBUM. NOT ANY OF THE GUYS LISTED OR EVEN THE WINNER MACKLEMORE. I DONT LIKE COLE MUSIC. BUT HE IS COMPLETELY RIGHT. HE IS NOT ATTACKING ANY OF THOSE GUYS, HE IS GOING AT THE SYSTEM.
Totally disagree with you on this one eminem is not locked on every grammy Em has only put out one trash album his first three were classics Encore was his worst which he didnt win a grammu for kanye did and even if kanye woned it and even if kanye didnt win 50 would have woned it with the massacre. Relapse was nowhere near as good as his first three albums but it was definitely album of that year the lyrics were on point and so was dr dres production the only problem with that album was his accent. Recovery was even worse than relapse but was still a good album it was about overcoming his drig addiction it was empowering the substance and emotion was there too only problem was them corny ass hooks still better than lil wayne and drakes trash ass albums. As to that corny ass non hip hop white bitch y’all over reacting its not like she won a grammy she only got an AMA its not even MTV award. They mostly only handed to her because Em and Drake didnt show up so how were they gonna accept the award smh stop tripping thats as much ad she will win drake and em albums were way more successful than hers
Soon it will be weird to see a black person rap like it is to see them play guitar .it is history repeating
Eminem is gonna eat him
Eminem did his thing, im not dick riding him but im just showing respect, he battle a lot of people in the early 90s he proved himself to other and got to the top. While J cole just got contacted by Jay Z I bet this young cat can’t rap battle. If I was him and if this was a diss I would feel bad to mention Eminem because that cat didn’t have it easy. And it’s like Eminem said black people put him under the microscope cause they thought he was copying lyrics. That’s old news man Em showed what he is about. New Hip Hop heads that dont know stuff about Hip Hop will say im dick riding Em but if you can’t recognize Em as a good MC then you just hating.
Any chances Em goes at J Cole? Probably not… too busy dissing Christina Aguilera, Moby, ICP, and some other people no one cares about.
lol Facts
It might be unpalatable but it is the truth, there is an obvious bias. However I am hoping that he approaches the subject in a proper manner instead of lashing out at random people. Although Eminem does get some media bias come awards time he also draws as much criticism as he does praise, probably more looking at recent events. However he came up and paid his dues so I don’t think you can really accuse him of simply stealing the culture, he worked his ass off to get where he is and is obviously very talented. I can’t say much on Iggy and Mack as I have never bothered to give them a listen. But good music has no color, it is for everyone so I don’t think attacking other artists is the way to do things. The system is at fault and if it is wrongly representing Hip Hop culture then it should be derided. This is where Benzino screwed up as he tried to make the same point only he tried to blame it on one MC in a hypocritical agenda and pretty much attacked anyone who disagreed. I bump J Cole’s shit and I do like him as a human being so I’m hoping he doesn’t fuck his career up by aiming at the wrong people.
i agree with everyhing you said.. but when it comes to macklemore granted he might be corny or wack but he doesnt try to be anyone but himself..and his songs reflect that.
iggy on the other hand absolutely is stealing off the culture..white australian girl tryna sound black girl foh
eminem is a legend
Oh, thats right – you’re half white
I want to see eminem rip into him…lol
Eminem ain’t going do shit. You are a buttermilk bitch boy
@dadonjuan “Buttermilk bitch boy” Sounds “sweet” in a disgusting way. It does not matter what Eminem and J. Cole do, it’s all fuckery when it’s ignorant.
Are you fucking stupid !!! You make Cole sound like a young thing or someone who has no chance you must not listen to his shit corny ass white boy !!!
rip j. cole.
-the industry
someone is bum hurt over furgerson, keep blaming the white man, im done with your soft rnb rap go off yourself racist
No one asked you to listen to hiphop. Go listen to taylor swift if you don’t like what BLACK RAPPERS are saying you fucking faggot.
Are you a troll? If not, the context of these particular lyrics was misunderstood by you.
Yall fuck faces dumb as shit he not really dissing Em he is saying niggaz jacking Em sound and how everybody sound the same.Biting off each other
Hey do you like boy pussy u can have this I like the way u type
FUUUUUUCK THESE FRUITLOOPS!!!been eatin them for a week now for breakfast,dinner and supper!CAN SOMEBODY BUY A FUCKIN J COLE ALBUM?!?i NEED the commision BAAAAD on some real band aid shit!!

Eminem literally said the same thing about using black music like Elvis did to get wealthy in without me. Why is everyone think this is such a diss it doesn’t mean he thinks he’s a bad rapper. The Iggy part was more of a diss but that is a separate situation.
As someone who’s been a white fan of hip hop for so long, and an aspiring rapper myself…I admit I got a little too defensive when I heard about these lines Cole dropped in his song. I took it out of context tho and I realize that now. I’ve been listening to cole since “the come up” days and I know he isn’t an asshole like that…he wouldn’t make it a “black vs white” thing in hip hop and that’s how I feel people who are getting upset are interpreting his lyrics. That’s not what he meant by it. Anyone that’s been a J. Cole fan for awhile knows that he’s a self proclaimed HUGE Eminem fan himself. So its not a diss on em, its more of an observation on Cole’s part about the state of popular music, and in a lot of ways he’s right. Eminem is like the only rapper that can sell those high numbers and see the crazy mainstream success these days
So when youre sayin “anyone thats been a j cole fan for awhile” that makes you and what other guy a j cole fan?He`s so bad i rather listen to a cd of my mothers sex sounds on a loop for an hour!!!!
Hopefully Em ain’t as dumb as the sensitive whiteboys and dumb brothers who can’t understand what he’s saying.
1. Eminem is in J. Coles top 5
2. Em himself said
“I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley
To do black music so selfishly
And used it to get myself wealthy”
3. Macklemore has a song called “White privilege”.
While Cole is talking the truth through a little joke, he’s not dissing anyone just spitting a true fact.
It’s like saying black people generally speaking commit (scratch that, get arrest for) more violent crimes than white people, that’s not a diss it’s a fact.
Fact is many black people in the states need to be educated more, and move out of their poverty stricken neighbourhoods etc. And stop thinking smoking weed 24/7 is cool, they also need to better themselves and get out of gangs etc……….. the high majority of black youth end up dead or in prison than go on to college ANTHER FACT smh
To be impoverished is to be stuck in a place where opportunity does not show its face often. Its easy to say that they should get better education and leave their immediate surroundings but a ghetto wouldnt be a ghetto if it were easy to be prosperous while living there.
Major props to Cole for having the BALLS to say what a lot of artists are afraid to say. So many Hip Hop artists and fans are too busy trying not to offend the powers that be in fear of losing their spot in the game….that’s literally the definition of being a sell out. How can you be mad at Cole for saying “fuck that” and just keeping it real regardless of the consequences?
lol. Eminem > J Cole by 100x – I will give you 1,000 dollars if J Cole can rap faster with awesome flow than Eminem.
I agree that eminem > j cole but just to be clear, how good of a rapper isnt based off how fast you can rap while maintaining a flow. if that were the case Twister and Bones Thugs would be the best to ever do it.
Straight up racist. However you look at it. No race owns music, music is music. People are people. Shit like this just keeps the racism shit alive. ‘white people have stolen the sound’ Retard. You telling me there arnt any black artists doing Punk or Rock or music of white origin. You think the old Punks are saying ‘Black people are staling our sound’ No. Grow up Cole.
Besides that, album is straight fire.
The point hes trying to make is that when whites do what blacks have created they then are championed by other whites as the greatest to do it and years down the line go down in history as pioneering the very music that they where once imitating. Rock and roll was created by black people and your speaking as if whites created that which proves the point he’s making in the rhyme.
^ So fuckin what. Whites created basketball and blacks dominate it today. Everybody forgot about that one. Suck it up and quit fuckin whinning all the time you naggers. Whites started way more shit than black people did, yet you don’t see us all crying like you black people when there is a black guy who excels in our thing. negros gonna negros.
Black man is right. Exclude eminem from the conversation (talent can not be denied even if one doesnt like the subjects he raps about). However, in a population dominated by white consumers, a white artist will always prevail off a one hit on the radio. More exposure with radio stations etc.
Now, on the flip side, blacks dont buy albums or movies in a legit fashion. This hurts the black artist tremendously forcing hip-hop/rap to alter towards the masses who purchase this music… Now this is not easily done because whites will listen to white artist..blacks will listen to black artist…. and spanish will listen to spanish..
The Conclusion. Stop believing that music award shows matter. They do not. They are only relevant to sell artist to the masses which are a majority white
Rock and punk music are of black origin my friend. Not hating, just stating facts. Rock music was started by Chuck Berry and old blues men from the south like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf. #facts. Just ask your fave white rock stars. Also look up the greatest rock bands and see who they were trying to emulate while gaining footing in the music game. Punk music came from Jamaican ska music that was being played in England after an influx of Jamaicans moved to england for work and settled in the poorer classed meighborhoods. #facts #notbeingracist #beethovenwasalsoblack
J cole got Big BALLS and he aint dissing anyone but he is just saying like it is but then again truth hurt big time
this aint a diss…
Is J. Cole even black enough to say nigga?
Beautiful track. I love how Cole sparked the conversation of cultural appropriation. I feel like there is definitely an awareness going on, especially as it relates to black music and the influx of non blacks imitating the culture. I’ve seen people mention that music has no owner. Well, pretty much every country around the globe has its OWN sound and music. I don’t see whites trying to imitate Chinese music, Thai, Peruvian, Mariachi, etc. I only see them trying to copy Hip Hop, Reggae (The Police, No Doubt, Sublime, etc, etc) Soul, R&B, Jazz, House and the list goes on! So yes, every nation has its OWN identity and sound. Our culture and sound just happens to be what is considered popular around the world.
Agreed, it’s good to have the conversation about it, but one thing to realize is that our (Assuming we’re the same relative age) generation (90s babies) blurs the lines of appropriation, and culture, at the very least when it comes to shit like hip hop. Em not from Australia, he grew up around Black culture. And believe it or not before white America loved him, he had to earn his respect over and over again from people who felt some type of way about him being a whiteboy, rapping. His skin wasn’t a benefit then, his only option was to be insanely good at it and no matter how you see it, that takes hard work, love and appreciation for what you doing. That’s the essence of the shit. Far as Iggy though, this 2014 not 1996, and girl I can’t lie to you EVERYBODY loves a white girl with a fat ass
This isn’t really a diss to Eminem from what I can see on the lyrics that DX posted. I think it’s more of “Hey while we are arguing about who is the best MC, we aren’t getting recognized at the Grammy’s. While white people who snatch our flows are. Also Eminem dissed the grammys on MMLP. I think ti’s more weird that he left out the Beastie Boys.
He does have a point about the Grammy’s. J.Cole and Kendrick did have a better album then Macklemore. Also I think he is emphacising kendrick’s control as “We are all trying to get the crown but there is alot of love in here.”
shut up
Funny that the ones dissing white people in rap are light skinned niggeerrs. J Cole, Lord Jamar….This faggot needs to know his place. Dissing Eminem and fuckin ELvis? Bitch please.
People need to realize that when Eminem is at his best is when he is rapping out of anger. What was the last song that was good from Eminem post 2009? That would be the warning. Why? because he was rapping out of anger. If What jcole said is enough to piss off Eminem. He better watch out. The problem is, it takes a lot to piss off eminem now adays, cause he is more mature.
I wish he didnt say he was joking. Stand by your words homie, if you meant them. You got yourself a thumbs up and took it back before the track ended……….
Cause he a little bitch. He needs to know his place and stfu about legends like Eminem and Elvis. EM started rapping when this guy was still sucking on his mama’s titties.
J.coles album fucking sucks, it’s worst then the last which was worst then the last. bring that friday night lights “farewell” “before i’m gone” j.cole – blank bored stare the entire time listening to this album.
removed my headphones and threw them down, was so pissed after listening to this, elected so much more. the BEATS SUCCKKK YO. audio valium. cringeworthy singing, laziest hooks, lamest rhymes and patterns, his doing his best eminem , shouting loud and showing us how angry he is with nothing to say. abc rhyme patterns just rhyming the end of every sentence —–cat, —–hat, ——-sat.
then his like oh fuck people arguing over who’s the king everyones the king, that doesn’t matter. then the net track his like fuck you i’m the king of this. then white people snatched the sound. does he know him and drake are intact – basically white with with white mothers who raised them…white? smh.
The Warm up and friday night lights are the only projects you need from this guy. he just seems pissed his realised his nowhere near the caliber of talent required to take the throne (nowhere even close to drake or kendricks talent and they in turn are nowhere close to the talent of the 90s cats like nas, big pun, jay, pac, eminem, raekwon, andree 3000 in their prime – not even close) so now it’s fuck the throne fuck being the best. well better to hate what you can’t have cole. this guy is a hypocrite he seems more interested in being the best then making the best records or best rhymes – his trying to be personal like kendricks good kid mad city but he was a better rapper when he told other peoples stories and connected himself to them. friday night lights is what this album is trying to be but check friday night lights check – farewell and you don’t find a song on this album that captures him reminiscing as well, as interesting, with such a dope beat and flow. get this guy off the stage his not even a contender anymore. memphis bleak 2.0.
and people will praise his mediocrity like Ellsworth Thoohey in the Fountianhead. Knedrick/ Drake = Howard Roark J.Cole – Peter Keating yup
j cole is one of the blandest most boring rappers of all time.
not the worst, not the best. the definition of average and mediocre. he can tell his story all he wants. it’s not that interesting.
doesn’t do any one thing exceptionally well. a by the numbers rapper with major backing that would be nowhere without certain cosigns that took place years ago. eminem is still a lightening rod far past his prime.
em should open up on this clown for name dropping him with circus acts. eminem could change the way ppl view j cole forever even now. he’s probably too nice of a guy to do that. he’ll let him eat his little plate in peace. too bad. he’s begging for it.
half stepped around the boldest thing he ever said in his career. j.cole in a nutshell. safe, conservative, redundant, forgettable, wimp out music.
THANK YOU .. SPOT ON .. And even with that .. Like you said, I’m glad this average rapper is the one getting the push because he’s not that bad .. not change your life great, but a decent option given the choices we have .. EMINEM on the other hand .. Makes you FEEL
right on point! Great lyrics, poor delivery. Who cares what you’re saying if it doesn’t sound good. This is music, not prose.
SOOOOOO?!?BUT DOES THAT MEAN THEY`RE NOT ALLOWED MAKIN MUSIC??I HE OBVIOUSLY DO IT MUCH BETTER SO WHATS YOUR POINT??!??SHOULD WE SHUT DOWN MUSIC AND LET ONLY BLACK GUYS MAKE HIPHOP IN A CELLAR IN COMPTON?!?IS THAT SOME WET DREAM OF YOURS?BRAGADOOORAP AND MOLLYRAP???NOOOOOOOO SIIIIIIR!!!!PUNISHMENT FOR YOU WILL BE 3-5 YEARS LOCKED UP IN MY BASEMENT WITH HEADPHONES FULL OF TYGA,RICK ROSS,LIL WAYNE,BIRDMAN,NICKI MINAJ IN YOUR EARS!!CASE CLOSED!!!
fuckd up part is no one apparently paid any attention the the ending of the track it dosent matter what color or complexion you are!!!! And for those saying Em would destroy Cole are fucking stupid!!!! Cole would have a better chance against Em than Hov or Drake in my opinion!!!! A lot of hating and Dick eating going on right now
HAHAHAHAHA!YOURE A REAAAAAAL FUNNY GUY ROMO!I WANT TO SIGN YOU TO MY COMEDIANS LABEL.ARE YOU INTERESTED….HAHAHAHOHO!LIKE COLE WOULD HAVE A GOOD CHANCE AGAINST EM!HAHAHA THAT ROMO!YOU COULD BE THE NEXT KATT WILLIAMS!
He just spoke the truth.
No diss..
Em literally said “I’m the worst thing since Elvis Presley, to use black music so selfishly, to make myself wealthy”. In the LEAD SINGLE off an album that went diamond, over a decade ago. So I doubt it’s news to Em or anyone that HipHop is a Black artform. But the difference between him and everyone else in the conversation is skill level, and respect. Em’s new albums may be dull as shit but believe he could rip Cole apart, Black or White, ‘stole the sound’ or not, Eminem is a better rapper. If Iggy wins a Grammy though, man fuck
How’s that dissing? it’s stating facts…be better journalists than that. stop fishing for clicks with misleading headlines. it’s whack!
Even though J.Cole is boring, I gotta agree what said cause culture bandits need to back off of our culture.
