Nobody's Perfect

Nobody's perfect. So, I'll admit that I was wrong about J. Cole. But see what happened was...I was introduced to him improperly. The very first thing that I heard about him was that he was "better than Drake." (And c'mon now...we all know that I'm not having that. I love my Drizzy Drake.) The real problem is that they should have never been compared. They're not the same kind of rapper and certainly not the same kind of artist. (And I'll admit that J. Cole is more lyrical.)

But back to the matter at hand, when I first heard about J. Cole...I randomly downloaded a few songs. And since those songs didn't prove that he was better than Drake (like I was told that he would be) I felt like the kid was overrated. And the next time that I listened to him was when "In The Morning" (featuring Drake) came out (which I listened to for obvious reasons lol). So I downloaded the Friday Night Lights mixtape...and I thought it was cool. "Premeditated Murder" got put on a repeat for a few days and then I moved on.

THEN...I heard this "Can't Get Enough" track. His flow on that is crazy. But NOTHING has impressed me more than this "Nobody's Perfect" track with Missy Elliot. I think it's literally the only song that I've listened to since I first heard it on Tuesday night. That beat knocks incredibly too hard in the whip. And Missy's hook? Sheeeesh.

Plus, anybody who knows me, know that I'm a fan of the rappers that sing a little bit. So when he ends the first verse with that raspy singy voice....it was over. I'm sold.

So...there it is. I was wrong about the kid. You can count me in as a J. Cole fan. Nobody's perfect ;)
