Every Song On The New J. Cole Album Is Now A Charting Hit
The Come Up
Cole is one of the most prolific and influential artists of the twenty-first century. He is from Fayetteville, North Carolina where he spent his childhood in a very diverse environment. He once recollected in an interview how that impacted him.
“I can identify with white people, because I know my mother, her side of the family, who I love. But at the end of the day, [I’ve] never felt white. I identify more with what I look like, because that’s how I got treated [but] not necessarily in a negative way.”
As an interracial man that primarily identifies as black, he understands that he’s seen as a stereotype as a rapper.
No Role Modelz
Cole’s song “No role modelz,” has made numerous accomplishments aside from his recent Diamond certification. It has also peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has broken the Spotify chart record with 2,274 days on the U.S Spotify Chart. His content and delivery throughout the song detail his awareness of multiple influences around him that he believes are good influences, despite him not being able to imitate their likeness. As a rapper, he told his life paralleling the typical rap star life as he tries to be an honest man outside of his occupation’s norm. He managed to express that in a way that resonated with younger and older generations.
Cole makes himself the bridge between two generations who recognizes the ways of them both. He intelligently uses his disposal to resonate with so many people which gives him a huge fan base. He continually uses his stream of consciousness and unique wordplay to tantalize the ears of the music and entertainment industry.
