After rocking out to Lights Please and listening to DJ Z’s recent interview with the up-and-coming J. Cole, I was impressed by the young Roc Nation signee’s intelligence and maturity, but if I could extend him any bit of advice, it would be to avoid naming tracks Unabomber; you know, considering that the Unabomber was a crazy white guy with a beard who lived in a cabin and sent people mail bombs. But questionable title choices aside, Unabomber is actually a damn good track, a hip-hop catharsis that allows Cole to release his frustration with all the fools in his path over some melodically rocking production from Cole himself. And for any Cole fans out there concerned about his mental health, remain calm. As he says himself, “Don’t worry, I’m just ventin, the late night thoughts of a n**ga on a mission.” Unabomber isn’t currently attached to any album, but with building buzz like this, it’s only a matter of time until Hova sets Cole loose on the world with a debut album.

When Jermaine hit me up on Friday about this record, I expressed how impressed I was with his work. In turn, he expressed how excited he was as well. It is awfully refreshing to hear artists truly excited about their work. Mr. Cole isn't going through the motions here, he is making waves.

No more Drake comparisons. They're both hot right now. Drake's like a year ahead in publicity, but J. Cole is his own man. I love Drake as well but I don't want them to get paired together. Their styles are distinct

Great flow, meaningful/smart lyrics, self produced, passionate, REAL lyrics (literally, not real as in "da realist"), ear for melody, just venting... what more could you ask for?!
Mixtape is great, already a fan, I hope he becomes big! |

Productions nice from Cole, but its his lyrics that take centre stage on this track.

I gotta agree with XuUP17, I'm not hearing the Drake comparison here. Cole's got a deeper voice and a more straightforward, harder style. They're maybe in the same ballpark, but definitely not the same player. Anyway, Cole's obviously on his grind, and I'm digging every minute so far.

Thoughtful rhymes that really make the listener take in what he's saying over a mellow production that doesn’t overpower the flow and allows the lyrics to shine for an engaging listen! Solid four stars.
Sidenote: "Blu ft. J. Cole" or vice versa. Can somebody please make that happen? |

Yea,
Fresh off the mother fcukin Broadcast, and Im here! fuego N!gga, yea, hey Uh, its happening fast Yea, uh I told n!ggas on the low, they ain't hear it though Boy that man in the mirror, is a miracle Aye wipe your face, momma told you no more tears will flow We eating better than we was a few years ago Send you western union on my payday A week later its mayday So you return the favor We stay afloat like some sailors Bill collectors blowing us up They couldn't fade us B!tch I made strait As go ahead and try to degrade us Haters But this ones funny Man one year later I was on them phones collecting money A lesson from me-everybody got a story dog Unfortunately learned I cant do nothing for you dog I'm trynna run the whole game like a morning jog With hits like a porno blog Not hoping out the shower to make 10 dollars an hour Ain't judging, No To each is own You pay your bills to raise your kids inside a decent home More power to you But a message to you Fcuk n!ggas! I hope your kids grow up and never want to fcuk with you This punk n!gga knock up two h0es at the same time And told us n!gga, they were lying, dog they ain't mine That's cold blooded but ain't nothing new Same old, fcuk it though Whats up with you? If you make it this far listening without skipping Then I got to show love Don't worry i'm just venting The late night thoughts of a n!gga on a mission And I rock my girl to sleep in missionary position Tuck that as$ in and then I went and grab pen And then you have it Word flowing like magic Its truly accurate You n!ggas posing like some h0es up in a beauty pageant Nobody touching me its like I got the cooties rapping Remember when we called n!ggas African booty scratchers? Yea that was random but man so is life You grab your needles grab your thread and hope you sew it right I find myself fiening for a spot to go at night Where the liquor flowing steady and the h0es polite The fast lane make me reminisce on slowing life The Unabomber b!tch I'm blowing up over night Boom! Aye yo its happening fast I said its happening fast All the drama that I had to get past Will it last Or will it pass? Just as quick as it came Hoes knowing my name Dog fcuking with fame I pray to God it wont change But even if it dont most n!ggas look at you strange But I guess I cant complain Aye man its happening fast I said its happening fast I said its happening fast |

J. Cole is the underground Drake. This guy is the saviour of today's hip-hop.
Except he can actually produce. And has a pretty dope voice sans auto-tune. |
