Cole’s career with plenty of tracks leading him to become a versatile artist and, of course, his Roc Nation record deal. The Warm Up was the most contributory project in J. He also heat checks white rappers in the game that are allegedly “stealing the sound.” He bobs and weaves through a menacing beat he produced with Vinylz which opens with, “Ain’t a way around it no more, I am the greatest.” It’s a memorable instance not only on the album but in Cole’s career where he tells fans, critics and his contemporaries that he’s the best. One of Cole’s more screwfaced cuts was birthed the through the creation of “Fire Squad.” For starters, Cole quite literally lines up his competition and guns them down. Of course, Cole doesn’t choose a side, leaving listeners with more introspective questions than answers. “Runaway” is perhaps one of Cole’s most relevant deep cuts that asks the age old question dive into a committed relationship or continue “running through b-–s”? The specific insight he provides into his own back-and-forth psyche sheds light on the mental mayhem that many men and women deal with when faced with the same love-or-lust choice. Cole has done so well since he picked up a microphone was tell stories that young people can relate to. It’s one of Cole’s most balanced songs with strong lyrics alluding to an overarching message while at the same time being an infectiously catchy, bass-heavy, pulsing synth smash hit. One of those outright sing-alongs is “No Role Modelz.” The track hones in on the dichotomy between men and women who grew up without role models. Cole fans that claim 2014 Forest Hills Drive is his best album to date thanks to the plethora of bangers on his heralded project. Not to mention the cleverest line on the entire album appears on this show-stopping second verse: “One thing about the men that’s controlling the pen/That write history, they always seem to white-out they sins.”
Cole breaks down the issues he sees in the current American taxation system and how it can commence a domino effect of ghettoization. Kod had a lot of important messages but perhaps none more important than on “Brackets.” The late comedian Richard Pryor intro ushers in Cole’s smooth singing and delicate opening verse while the second verse hammers home the reality of taxes. Because of obvious racism from the neighbors, the police were called and a raid took place.Dreamville's Omen Talks Mixed Feelings About Receiving First Grammy Nominationīelow is a list of the 20 best J. He’s out here doing extremely positive things for the community and for young artists.
Cole is the last person to do anything like that. It’s just crazy ironic because out of anybody, they picked the wrong person. They go downstairs and all they see is a studio, and obviously they felt stupid. Our engineer Juro “Mez” Davis had just stepped out for lunch and he came back and saw the SWAT team busting down the door. They flew helicopters over, sent an entire SWAT team armed with weapons, broke down the door and searched the whole house. And there was a huge investigation, like a million-dollar investigation. One of the neighbors told the police we were growing weed or selling drugs out of this house. So the neighbors started getting real paranoid.Īpparently what happened was, we were all in Austin, Texas, for SXSW thankfully no one was in the house when this went down. Ubers coming, and every once in awhile you’ll see a group of us outside on the porch smoking weed. So you have, predominately, African-Americans coming in and out of this house. It’s also in the suburbs of a pretty wealthy neighborhood in North Carolina.
