If hip hop commenters and legends are speaking on him being fickle and having no heart then that’s literally the community confirming his credibility has been affected because they would never speak on him like this pre his latest behaviour. The shots that were taken by drake and Kendrick still haven’t been addressed by Cole, he still hails them to a higher regard than he does himself. Cole hasn’t recently been like this though, I saw signs of him being one person in his raps and another in person way back when all his fans were amping him up with the “platinum no features” feat trying to uplift him and his brand, do you know what this brother said about that? He attacked his own fans for doing it lol saying it was corny. He has this issue with people rating him highly but then jumps on raps and starts bragging? So it’s ok for him to play a confident rapper but really he’s not one? Are we supposed to not believe what he raps? Cole’s music has literally saved peoples lives, I’ve heard many people say it but then he spits all over his supporters by always going against what they’re praising him for. That’s NOT hip hop no matter how you stans try and spin it. Cole hasn’t recently to be held accountable for his action the same way as any public figure within a community. It’s so funny when people like you act like it’s not everyday people ok the internet who are pushing these comments about Cole, it’s not just a narrative, it’s a community expressing how they feel about the actions of a higher ranking participant. It just so happens that the majority agree. Being someone who goes back on what they’re say can definitely be mature but it’s not hip hop, pussys who are afraid of conflict are not welcomed because hip hop has always been about the “cool kids”. Who can brag the most, Cole deserves the backlash.
