Cole wasted no time in expressing his admiration for today’s rap scene, describing it as “fire” and acknowledging the emergence of a new generation of young superstars with unique styles. He praised the diversity and creativity that have become defining characteristics of contemporary rap. “It’s a whole different ball game, you know what I mean? Like a whole different crop of young superstars and styles, you know what I mean,” Cole stated.

Moreover, the North Carolina rapper didn’t shy away from complimenting the talented female artists who have been making significant strides in the industry. He acknowledged their impact and expressed his genuine appreciation for their artistry. “I hate to say it, almost because it sounds like, almost like pandering but I really do think like man it’s a lot of fire female rappers,” he stated, recognizing the impressive achievements of female rappers and their exciting contributions to the genre, both artistically and commercially.

Cole then delved into the past, reminiscing about a time when it seemed impossible to have multiple female rap stars simultaneously. He cited iconic figures like Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliot as examples, suggesting that there was a perception that only one female rapper could truly dominate the scene at any given moment.

However, fans reacted to Cole’s statements, pointing out perceived contradictions in his remarks. Some argued that female artists like Lil’ Kim, Missy Elliot, and Foxy Brown were indeed prominent contemporaneously, challenging Cole’s assertion that this wasn’t the case. Fans responded to Cole’s comments, with some believing the rapper contradicted himself. “It could never be more then one… names multiple female rappers that existed at the same time lmfao,” commented one fan. Another fan replied to her comment, stating “They weren’t all popping together at the same time, that was his point.” Fans rebutted this claim, stating that artists like Lil Kim, Missy Elliot, and Foxy were “popping at the same time.”

J. Cole is not the only artist to voice opinions about the current state of rap. Recently, rapper Bow Wow expressed his criticisms regarding the genre. It’s clear that rap remains a topic of great interest and discussion among artists and fans alike, with each individual offering their unique insights into its evolution and current status.
In addition to his commentary on rap, J. Cole has been making headlines for his involvement in a significant business venture. The rapper joined a group that acquired majority ownership of the Charlotte Hornets, an NBA team previously owned by basketball legend Michael Jordan. As a native of North Carolina and a long-time Hornets fan, this move holds particular significance for J. Cole and adds an exciting dimension to his already illustrious career.
