      @@Andy-bh8hw Hard to say, there’s a lot of young rappers out there really if you think about like Tekashi and them. Those with the colored hair and face tattoos don’t belong in the game at all. 6ix9ine, Lil Nas X, they all need to go back where they came from. Even some of the adults ain’t all that good. I don’t even listen to Drake, Future, Migos any of that kind of sound. I’m all about keeping it old school, keeping it real real. I do like Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Royce Da 5’9”, some Pusha T and Kid Cudi. A lof of these new kats though ain’t worth bothering now these days

    There’s no numbers that you can’t give Cole. This album is 🔥. I appreciate the lyricism of J. Cole. Truly a G.O.A.T. Jay had him and didn’t push him like he should. This is authentic rap at his best. I’m at work now got my patient bobbing his head J.Cole. Give this man his RESPECT!!!!!
