Whether its spending a ridiculous amount of money on his jewels or goofing off in school, North Carolina rhyme slinger J. Cole isn’t afraid to let it be known that he can act just as much a fool as anyone else, which is exactly what he does on his fittingly titled new record, I’m A Fool. Driven by a sample from Roc Nation songstress Melanie Fiona and Cee Lo Green‘s Fool For You, Cole keeps it real as he gradually steps off of the pedestal that his fans have placed him on. Midway through the record the Dreamvillain artist urges, “I responded to her, please don’t put me on a pedestal/ Cause I know better and I’m still a fool.” Cole keeps the production on the record heavily on the soulful side, but adds a nice helping of bass that blends perfectly with his unparalleled flow. Although the record serves as the DJBooth favorites new single there’s still no word yet on what the title of his sophomore album will be or when it will be released.

I am a big fan of J. Cole's Production-Work. His beats are tough and this one is no exception. Tight flow on this one too. This goes pretty hard... BANGER!

J Cole's beats are hit or miss for me but this one is a hit! Lovin the sample and the overall mood of the track!

Somehow I can't believe that pedestal line. The song is okay, the sample carries it and Cole is acceptable with his trademark vent-raps.
Oh well, at least he left us with that gem FNL before he got engulfed. It was nice rocking witcha Cole. Haha. Kendrick colab album is the last hope. |

Dope track, soulful beat, good use of sample. Cole killed it, much respect to him.

Thank you Roc-a-fella. Finally, some real rap. A song that has a meaning throughout that is actually meaningful, and verses with some dope punchlines, but overall a message. This is what rap should be like. I'm on the watch for more Cole.
