Except in the last month, as two of the biggest rappers in the game have gone to bed, embroiled in a beef that only intensified (sometimes by the day, A few days by the the hour), social media has been speculating on one endless question: What is J. Cole doing in the midst of all this? Hip-hop’s biggest superstars are hiding, the family van is being crushed, ugly accusations and accusations are flying left and right over unbelievable beats, loved ones (mostly women and children) are being hurt, and There is a possibility Original shots are being exchanged. It looks like the back half. the wire Season 3 is out there.
Does it make J Cole? Kitty? Faced with the prospect of pulling an actual trigger on his brother, Jermaine instead releases the clip, ejects the round in the chamber and throws the burner into the ocean — and is apparently mocked for ethering himself. (Or at least his image as a terrible rap rapper no one wants to sing a song with.)
But the further the story strayed from a mere lyrical feud, the more justified J.Cole’s decision became—starting with Drake’s use of 2Pac’s robotic essence and Snoop Dogg to get Kendrick to drop his diss track. Moved forward. At high speed. Things only got stranger from there. And all the while, a recurring gag is wondering how Cole can enjoy his free time, as it were, at any given moment. Is the one-time pro basketball fan especially busy with Round 1 of the NBA playoffs? Riding a bike When spring finally blooms around Manhattan? I keep coming back to that one weird Jack Nicholson line delivery as the Joker. Batman What I liked as a child: He is at home! Wash her tights! (Col does. Love her some laundry.)
So imagine the collective laughter of the internet when First picture J. Cole’s Joe comes out the week after his concession speech — courtesy of a fan Joe Posted the photo on his Instagram.—He’s the most J. Cool shit ever: he’s on a beach, a heavy music nerd with headphones on, dressed like he just got back or is about to go hoop, a with the laptop (?) he is working from. An open suitcase (??) It doesn’t get much more than just J. Cole — the rapper who has exuded a constant state of banal Zen since his third album, one of the only multi-platinum millionaires. is the one you can always catch doing “regular shit”.
He might be voicing an Ari Lennox, listening to his ninth version Fall album that he’s completely retooled since bowing out of Smoke. He probably struck up a nice conversation with the young lady and gave her a long conversation about the virtues of peacekeeping. He looks happy, and I’m happy for him. As Drake shines in his Toronto estate, bounces and twists to the BPM of the mustard beats and Kendrick tenses up in battle mode—walking around a studio until he’s convinced. Whether it’s safe to come out—there’s likely no one as free and unencumbered as Jermaine Cole. . Now, let’s all go back to playing “Not Like Us” and “Family Matters” on loop.
