Well, I spent the past few weeks hating on my man J. Cole’s album - I think I was on drugs(?). J. Cole’s lyricism has always been his strongest gift, and how I missed the beauty of that throughout Forest Hills Drive, I don’t know. Either way, there’s no question why there’s been so much hype surrounding this album since its release - raps about childhood, adolescence, the come up, success, the black man’s plight, white appropriation… Forest Hills Drive has it all. “Get Off My Dick” just embodies J. Cole’s immense greatness. My man made it and he’s here to let all of us know: the curious, the haters, the fans, the dick-riders. It’s abrasive, confrontational, and straight real. Oh, and this beat…it provides a perfect pairing of content and sound. Final verdict: don’t sleep on this man.
