J. Cole: The Coming of The Future


Straight from Fayetteville, North Carolina, Jermaine Cole is the coming of the new generation of the Hip-Hop game. With the recent release of is long awaited mix-tape: Friday Night Lights, J. Cole has opened the eyes up of many of the top rappers in the game. Signed under Roc-Nation; Cole is seen as the next holder of the throne as the best behind Jay-Z. Sort of a protegee J.Cole is to Jay-Z. Many people dismiss this statement because of the relationship that Kanye West has with H.O.V., but many fail t understand that West cannot follow in the footsteps of Jay-Z. Kanye West has already surpassed the level that Jay-Z set has set in the industry. Kanye surpasses so many rappers in so many categories, that he sets himself apart from any of the rappers in the industry today. J. Cole on the other hand, does not posses the creative and artistic abilities that Kanye has and brings to his music. But he does have some of the same capabilities in the creation of his own music. Cole produces the majority of his tracks like Kanye, and still at the same tie possess the complex lyrical game that many rappers cannot bring to the table. J. Cole fits perfectly in the shoes of Jay-Z he has sort of the same style in his work, his lyrical content is just as sophisticated as Jay-Z and his complexity in his delivery is almost unmatched. J. Cole is someone that can be seen at the top of the rap game in the next 2-3 years. Possibly on top of things running to be the best once H.O.V steps down.
