    larn I heard you're good with them soft lips

    Dec 21, 2015
    Last year around this time, J. Cole did an interview with Angie Martinez. It took place shortly after his performance on Letterman.

    J. Cole states the following about "that kinda music"

    "This music is killin us but it makes money.. trash.. it's trash. I don't mind or I don't get upset when those songs come on but I don't spend a single minute of my life listening or delving into them. It's so generic and we've been recycling those songs for so many years now, it doesn't mean anything, the youth wants something new"

    Basically he's saying he can't stand the music of fellows. like Young Thug, Future, Travis Scott, Fetty Wapp and all those guys.

    Doesn't really surprise me to be honest. What about you ?

    He proceeds to say :

    "I think me and Kendrick are doing a good job at fighting this but I feel like ..2 people in the mainstream are not enough.."

    Thoughts ?

    Doubt that, would be surprised if he did.

    Well what I'm saying is - based on his personality he conveys in his interviews and his music - he doesn't make the impression as if he'd be into that.

    Localizing it those guys writes them off as "trap rappers" when they're so much more. He's probably just talking about formulaic trap songs.

    Saying he doesn't like Future, Young Thug, Trav or Fetty based on that quote is a hugeeee reach.

    @J V S H Well Travis is debatable but I remember him saying "I'm not Hip Hop" but he's probably more diverse than others.
    I agree with that, he probably mentioned the two rappers who have the biggest voices reight now.

    @Mike Tyson Well not really to be honest. What I'm saying is I just can't imagine sb like Cole sitting down and listen to Young Thug and going "Holy s---, this is amazing, let me call Kendrick and tell him about it" :laff:
    He just doesn't seem like that
