I’m seeing J. Cole fans hold media outlets accountable.
A Difference of opinion is healthy— Surface-level dismissiveness is not.
Joe Budden reduced “Quik Stop” to Cole not wanting to take a picture at a gas station & said the song didn’t have a plot.
I’m seeing a lot of Cole fans upset with the media’s reaction to The Fall-Off but tbh I expected this
This album has swings that are not easy to grasp on first listen and most reviewers will not be able to listen more than once to a 1 hr 40 min album
I expect many hip hop media outlets to come around on this album
The streams holding strong and the high first week sales are indicative that the fans are rocking with it. Let’s enjoy the music 🔥
