♪ you gon' make me catch a body like that ♪
Nobody in real life even listens to J Cole. That's why. He's only famous on the internet.

But if music is a blend of reality and artistic license, where does Drake’s talk about catching bodies fall? “Who’s going to catch a body with all these ****** rapping about murder?” he asks. “Who’s really putting a body on a gun?” C-Murder and Gucci Mane come to mind, but I say nothing. “When I say, ‘You’re going to make someone around me catch a body like that,’ that’s something you can ask them about.” He points to his boy Chubbs—the one who’s “in love with street ****.”
“Everybody wants to poke and jab at Drake because they don’t feel like he will throw back,” says Chubbs, who met Drake nearly four years ago. “But nobody around here is going to let something happen to him at any time, especially me. I’m not ever going to let nothing happen to him. If it’s going to happen it’s going to happen to me first.”
Drake never looks for trouble, but he’s not going to run and cower if it comes looking for him. “If somebody wants to bring a problem to me, it’s strictly based off of their immense amount of hate for me,” he says. “It’s never because I’ve sparked that using my voice, my image, or my outlet. I never use my outlet for confrontation or negativity, ever. I always try and give people music to ride to and music to enjoy. All I ever ask in return is that it’s mutual love.”
Is that too much to ask? Maybe. But what can you do when the love turns to hate? “I’m ready for whatever,” he says. “I don’t give a ****. I want to move through life in the most non-confrontational way possible, but I’m not a *****. Don’t ever get that mixed up.”
They both are terrible. Drake is a Canadian child television star ( a black man who never had a tape up until he was over 20 also) who tries to sound southern. J Cole is a southern cornball who tries to sound like he is from New York. This whole era of rap is weird to me. Integrity is not even required or demanded. We have an ex-cop as the top drug dealer/gangster rapper for God's sake. Snitches rap. Tommy Hilfiger's son tryna' rap. Rappers wearin' skirts. Even rappers that we used to respect are so lacking in integrity, that they boost up and collaborate with the frauds to help their careers. If the climate back in the day was like it is now and we were as accepting of this garbage, we would be calling Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer's albums "classic" today and they would be Jay Z status.

I think saying Cole is trying to sound like he's from New York is a reach man. He's rapping. Of course there are many artists that definitely have that southern style (Outkast, T.I, Gucci Mane, etc), but there are plenty of other rappers from the south that do not rap with the typical down south flow (Little Brother, Jay Electronica, Curren$y, etc.). It all depends on the style of hip-hop you gravitated to.
I'm from the south. Growing up, all my boys just listened to down south artists for the most part. I, of course, listened to down south artists too, but I also grew up listening to other artists from different regions (Common, Nas, Jay-Z, Tribe Called Quest, Slum Village, State Property, etc). If I rapped, I probably wouldn't have a "down south" flow because of the music I was exposed to. So, I can't agree with you when you say he tries to sound like he's from NY.

So your rap accent would be different than your speaking accent? Whatever man, I've only heard two songs by him anyways. I just listened to another on Youtube and it sounded like a New York accent to me. Just another aspect of the fakeness that permeates rap music today. Jay Electronica has a super fake New York accent. I liked him better when he was called Killah Priest anyways. RIP Pimp C. I'm out...

Ehh I disagree. Cole sounds like a lot of dudes I went to school with that was from NC. Actually most of the people I met from NC didn't sound "country", now cats from Georgia, Bama, N.O., and Florida..that's a whole different story. There's no way Jay Electronica actually talks like that being from N.O....no f'in way.
when you are rapping about it, it doesTo be a great rapper, is going through poverty throughout your childhood a requirement ?
