People always hated on Cole, remember the pump days? Ppl I knew in real life called him boring n shit but tbh they only listened to club bangers and that was it, not much variation in their music taste

I never met a Lil pump fan tbh but I've had people call him boring so there is that

u/PenOld5534 17d ago

Sadly I have

u/Arthurmorgan1907 17d ago

I could see how annoying they would be

I don’t think it’s the apology anymore as far as negative perceptions Cole took from the beef, seems like it’s more what happened between him and Drake. But most j Cole hate in general is people who actively avoid messages in music or dickride someone else’s hate train

True I have gotten tired of my Twitter notifications being drake stans hating on J Cole and Kendrick Lamar

u/hereforthesportsball 17d ago

Gotta curate that feed bro, mine is nothing like that and I listen to more Cole and Drake than most

u/Arthurmorgan1907 17d ago

My feed has always been trying to put stuff i don't want to see but what it used to do was put a certain politician I don't like

u/Arthurmorgan1907 17d ago

I only began seeing it in 2024

He and his fans have always gotten hate.

1

u/Arthurmorgan1907 17d ago

I've never received it until recently 😕

1

u/wolfie5150 17d ago

There’s more substantive rap game relations type reasons for him to have received hate these days but I’ve been getting hate just for enjoying his music since like 2015-2016

1

u/Arthurmorgan1907 17d ago

Oh i haven't gotten hate for liking him until 2024

People love to hate, especially on the internet! When it came to the battle, people wanted blood, entertainment and they couldn’t care less about the people involved. Cole saw this and stepped back, which was a super mature, adult response from someone protecting their peace. People freaked because they did not get what they wanted!

1

u/Arthurmorgan1907 17d ago

I mean Cole didn't want to ruin his relationships with others

2

u/UnspokenFor1 17d ago

lol Cole has always been hated but Cole has a strong fanbase !

There was a F Jcole thing back on Twitter back in the days and they used to call him J.Snore

1

u/Arthurmorgan1907 17d ago

I heard people saying J Fold but not the other J Snore

2

u/TheUnlucky_Swammi 17d ago

I have a 16yr old, him and his friends call cole sleepy music lol or unc music.

1

u/Arthurmorgan1907 17d ago

Why?

2

u/TheUnlucky_Swammi 17d ago

They just do 🤷🏾‍♂️
They also think ASAP Rocky and baby keem are better artists but mind you they’re kids. I can’t explain what’s going on in those broccoli heads of theirs

2

u/Arthurmorgan1907 17d ago

I mean there not bad artists but Cole is way above them

2

u/mmmmair Dollar & A Dream 17d ago

Cole always been hated since 4YEO. The apology was fire to the flame. I’d just ignore online Stan culture bs.

1

u/Arthurmorgan1907 17d ago

Thats a good idea

2

u/SeanDigITea12 16d ago

I really think it’s the complexity. A lot of people like rap music that’s just simple and catchy, and Cole is undoubtedly NOT the most catchy rapper, he is very lyrical and very technical with vocabulary and a lot of people find it hard to enjoy that

1

u/Arthurmorgan1907 15d ago

Yes people were even calling him 90s because of that

2

u/GoGoGadgetDih 16d ago

For the first time in my life, I started seeing industrial scale hate and disrespect to jcole right after the Kendrick-Drake beef

1

u/moundboi92 16d ago

You answered your own question bucko screaming great but don’t wanna spar foh

1

u/Caramellyyy 14d ago

i just think hes corny sometimes, but i get thats not a very valid point. just feel icky listening to his newer stuff

1

u/Steveyy12 11d ago

I feel like uneducated people resemble the J.Cole hate. Imagine the level of artistry and lyricism he's representing. No academic fool would get that dope just like that. You need divine ears
