Why is this album so underrated?
>>63813153
fuck off krump
because lyrical rap isnt popular anymore
>>63813153
Because everyone is busy listening to the greatest artist of our generation: Young Thug.
because jcole is a shitty lyricist
>>63813153
Where I am it's overrated (in my opinion)
J. Cole just doesn't really do it for me
Try-hard feels rap with okay production and shit lyrics. Safest rap album of the year.
>"I miss my childhood, fame sucks"
>"Brown people shouldn't only be famous for music and sports"
>>63813153
J. Cole is a fucking hack.
Hopsin and immortal technique tier, try-hard trash.

On /mu/? they'll answer you.

Can you recommend me good lyricists?
I'm gonna get shit on for saying this, but Childish Gambino is a great lyricist. His wordplay flows so perfectly, and his energetic delivery just sells it.
MC Ride is a fucking fantastic lyricist, Up My Sleeves has some of his best and most decipherable lyricism.
Also, Joji's projects (Pink Guy and Pinkomega) all possess a lot of power, lyrically. Yeah, he writes about making food and shoving things up his ass and how he fucks animals, but his wordplay, flow, and delivery are pretty underrated, in the same way as Gambino.

joey bada$$
Because its shit frat rap
>>63813697
literally what the fuck are you talking about. kendrick and j cole are two of the biggest rap artists out right now, lyrical rap is huge
it went platinum?? if you mean on mu it's because this is a pretty safe album (though imo it's the most enjoyable of all of his work)

cole is a lot of things but he isn't fucking frat rap.
frat rap is more hoodie allen, g eazy, old mac miller
>>63813697
>lyrical rap
lol doesn't it have to have lyrics to be rap
if you mean conscious hip hop, j cole really isn't conscious hip hop
a lot of stuff that tries hard to be conscious ends up sounding really preachy unless you really agree with the messages and enjoy the artist's personality
It's not and it's fucking horrible. J Cole is irredeemable garbage, completely without worth
>>63813153
>falling for bait of this quality
It was fun listening to it the first time but then I tried listening to it again all the way through and found it boring af. The only song with high replay value is A tale of 2 cities, everything else is Hopsin level type shit. Like ya boy Big Quint said, J. Cole is like watered down chocolate milk
