One week we praise chapelle for saying “who cares what a celebrity has to say right now” and now we critique j cole for staying quiet. People just pick and choose with all these feuds. It’s j cole anyone hating on that man is bugging, no name gotta mind her own business
J Cole isn't just a "celebrity", he's an artist who's art implies that what's going on in the black community, is something he'd be involved in. No one is necessarily looking for Chris Tucker at the protest.
Don Lemon called out Chappelle and other celebrities to say something. Chappelle said "“who cares what a celebrity has to say right now" but then spent almost 30 mins on the police brutality issue and everyone watched and raved that he addressed the issue on the streets. Clearly lots of people care..Lemon didn't even respond to the Chappllle calling him out because he got Chappelle to do what he asked him to do. People had an issue with J Cole because he claimed that he doesn't know enough while he's out there on the streets working his activism. Also for what he perceives as not to know enough of, there are plenty of articles written by fellow activists that he could easily Google or contact them about. He spent half of the track saying how he read her timeline and summarized what he got from it but her tone and her perceived hate in that 1 tweet is what REALLY got to him???? NoName Song 33 showed him how his Snow On That Bluff should have been. Address the main issue like Chappelle then throw a 1 line shade about calling you out.
It's probably a bunch of people online who don't know the difference between acceptable human beings and Jack asses lol. So they make themselves important online
Mal is right, but I think the other side is right too. Basically what they are saying is the same complaint I had against white friends and etc . You said nothing about the injustice and the countless black people being killed by cops, but you have everything to say about the protest and riots.... if you can’t address the injustice you shouldn’t address the symptom of the injustice. Well they are saying the same to Cole.... he may be out in the field but he didn’t choose to use his voice in this time to speak up on the more prevalent issues he felt more compelled to address this black woman in a period where that’s not really the most important thing. So I don’t think what he said was wrong and I agree a lot with mal take, but I also agree with the other side too. I also agree with J.cole on what he said, and the very things he said in the song has been told to me by black men and women. Very much like Joe said that some “woke” people speak condescending to or about those they perceive as sleep, or sheep, and etc.
What doesn’t make sense to me is how Rory and Parks were so quick to say “I’m not a person of color so I can’t speak on this.” But was even quicker to refute Joe and Mal on valid points. In all honestly, this track was more about Cole than it was about Noname, he just used this specific topic do it. Well, to many that may be “egotistical”, but in actuality it was humble, he showed humility.
their default position is to side with the mob out of fear of being cancelled. its why they keep reminding us theyre not p.o.c. to try and disarm their identity. gross behavior.
Rory said "what if they didn't see that tweet?" It's not J.Coles fault if people jump out the window without knowing the entire story. I heard Snow on the bluff first and then noticed it was a response. After that, I decided to do the research and find out why it went down... enter no name. Then I heard her rebuttal. She did not listen to J.Cole, she just got offended when she started the shit with that general ass tweet where you have J.Cole, Kendrick, Wale, Jay-Z or whoever you want to put there.... Cole did good.
But Coles song was about her, she had a great point, all the shit going on right now and he made a song about her, but been a little quiet about everything else. And on top of that to police her tone when most of the black community is engaged right now, not a good look
Elias Gregory it was about her but it was a response to her callin him out about not speaking on wats goin on and he was telling her he’s not that deep and don’t know enough to lead and when he said her tone was bothering him he mean why is she downing him cause he don’t know as much as her and how u gon lead if u attackin the ppl you need which is true most reactions is how things are said instead of wats said and she was attackin him first
@@PyroLeo1 So she can't get checked for coming at ppl wrong bc "other things are going on"? She can't be wrong or make mistakes and be told about it because "other stuff going on"? No other conversations can be had and all will be attacked because "black lives matter" now. Nah black ppl been getting killed. This is not new. We can do two things at once: protest for BLM and lovingly rebuke our brethren...or sisters. We been doin it for 400 yrs.
@@summerrain6125 How did she come at someone wrong? She barely "came" at anyone. She just said " i wish more of y'all was out here with me" and Cole was like "Watch your mouth"...lol
So we’re at a point in history were a man can’t address a person who happens to be a woman without it being an abuse of “patriarchy”??? Salute to J Cole for doubling down.
It's not that he can't address her, but he made a song largely about her and her tone, with all that's going on, his song was about her, her song was redirecting focus back to the issues at hand.
@@PyroLeo1 And yes the manner or delivery of her message was wrong male or female. I will not cap because of her gender. She was looking down on whoever that was aimed at and its wrong. Tweet came from a place of ego and a high horse in my opinion.
@@paulokogbenin8470 Maybe, but the song is Cole basically saying "You're right, I should do more but I don't like the way you said it... if you want to reach more ppl you shouldn't say it like that", while the second point is valid, both points are whack, to paraphrase noname, poor black people are literally rising their lives and Cole wants her to speak in a better manner, that's lame. It's basically respectability politics.
All these people talking about Cole "tone policing" someone. When he's ultimately saying there's a way to address someone or hold them accountable without the accusatory, hypercritical tone or berating. And because he said that to a woman he is wrong?
Yall missed the point. Narcissists want a socially acceptable way to express their ego, so they do so behind the cloak of a righteous cause. This is what Cole was talking about, and how conveying moral superiority is mistaken as leadership on social media. Belittling "lesser" people in the name of your ego is counterproductive to any movement. Cole shared one of the more profound messages that people needed to hear, but of course yall simplified it to the same identity politics bullshit ("black woman" this, "white man" that)
@@wgo523 idk bout that man. That shit can affect they're income potential cuz it ends up tarnishing one's reputation cancelled or not. Thank God for Cole hive 🙏🏾
one two I feel you but what did he say that was wrong exactly? He told her she was smarter than he was and called her a Queen. All he said was watch your tone because that tweet was pretty disrespectful..it accused rappers like Cole/Kendrick that they just used Black plight for plays..that’s a disrespectful assumption.
How was her tweet toxic if she did t say names. Cole made a song about an old tweet that had no personal attachment and made a whole song.He tweeted out basically he only trying to be deep and not worried wether what he says is factual long as it sounds good. That’s the toxic level because on things of this nature in these times you shouldn’t play with it especially when it’s documented that he flirts and benefits from the aesthetics of activism.
Kimmminem West She wasn’t shot and oppression isn’t the context of the conversation. This is about being accountable for what you say & how you say it. She sent out a tweet that subliminally dissed certain rappers. Because she didn’t put a name on it ANYBODY & EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO RESPOND. When speaking as an adult to other adults it is always best to address the person or situation you are speaking to/about so it won’t lead to any confusion or misunderstandings. Secondly Cole & Kendrick were out there weeks before she tweeted that. It’s been reported by multiple news outlets as well the multitude of things Cole has done in his hometown of Fayetteville. So what exactly has anyone gone through that gives them the right to slander or make comments about ppl of their own race without proper research or background info??🤨😒😑
James Lazarus Chance definitely jealous. Ain’t no way that you do a “friend” like that. Maybe if he didn’t walk on eggshells and put his feelings into music he wouldn’t be trash.
Look at what's going on in the world right now, sensitivity is to be expected...there are so many emotions about so many things that have been brewing in society, plus black people are redefining our relationships with each other based around community and harm reduction...this is just part of the process.
@@sicksadworld6221 That's exactly what they'd rather. A fuckin tweet matters more than ACTUAL CHANGE. It sucks that people don't know how to use their brain anymore.
Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot she definitely subbed him and Kendrick. She called him out and he responded. We have to be fair. So everybody is cool with her calling them out but we accuse him of calling her out for saying his peace about it. No
Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot lots of people like who? Future and DaBaby? What other rappers besides Cole and Kendrick have discographies about black plight and struggle and all that but weren’t seen on the frontlines? Cuz that’s what the tweet basically said
Isaac Fuentes Drake never made an album about blm movements and police brutality and things like that. She pretty much said that dude's make a whole album about blm and stuff like that but never be in the streets protesting. The only ones who have done it, to my knowledge, are Cole and Kendrick.
Bernard Jordan true but let’s be honest drake is way bigger than both of them and I still haven’t seen him speak on anything that’s happening right now.
Kendrick said in the heart part 4 , “when shit gets real don’t ask for me how many “leaders” gone tell you the truth after me”. Therefore he would never respond to her bc he just did 3 years early. That’s why he’s the 🐐
Mal had this one down 100%. Cole took out his ego. All he was saying is coming at someone crazy for not knowing something or being uneducated about something ain't the move.
Noname: y’alls favorite rappers ain’t doing shit for us out here Cole: damn that was harsh Noname supporters: damn j cole! You didn’t have to do her like that! She’s a _black woman!!_ stop tone policing!! Y’all gotta grow up
They mad because he made this song at this time? Me as a black woman that heard the song multiple times(to make sure i didnt miss anything) i think cole telling this smart woman that theres a better way to teach our people is EXACTLY what we need right now. We need to educate each other. Us protesting and marching doesnt matter if we're not educated. The main thing that kept slaves down was lack of education
and the sad part is when ppl make the "ur an adult so u should find the information yourself" argument. so now ppl dont even want us to educate each other.
How about the fact that she puts a song out about 4 days later proving his point. Its like🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️, I've been following noname for years and she does shit on people.
I'm with J. Cole and the guy in the high chair !! It was a letter. A poetic way for someone who felt like they aren't "doing enough" and arent knowledged on the issues , it wasn't bad timing, wasn't disrespectful, wasn't bad taste
Honestly J Cole said nothing wrong in that song, i respect him for actually responding to that chick Noname, she was outta place for assuming he wasn't doing anything just because he didn't tweet. the guy barely use social media.
So he assumed, said he assumed, basically said he’s a hit dog hollering but she’s the only one out of line. Some of you Cole fans have wayward views in defending him you really go against all the “work” he’s doing!
Mr. Bobby Wright I never said she didn’t...I’m juxtaposing how many people are happy to make sure we acknowledge Noname was wrong but Cole is entitled to his feeling and how he expresses them.
Might be the first time Ive ever agreed with Mal on a social issue topic. Completely ridiculous that women are mad at this. The references to her in this song are some of the mildest and most friendly half criticisms Ive ever heard in a rap song.
The fact that he’s a man and he spoke his mind and spoke his truth especially to women to women that is disrespectful because in today’s society women feel like they can speak to men and talk to men however they feel like and we should always speak to them with respect or we shouldn’t get upset
I swear. Its interesting how women period want us to be more open and emotional. Then when we do most of the time what we say creates an issue. It's as if they say that to make us feel better and never truly want us to be open.
That's all it is... Noname gets to sit & complain about who's not being a leader instead of actually being one... She gets to talk shit about the same black people that need to be educated & not belittled in a time like this. But, let a man pinpoint what it is she's doing.. It's patriarchy. I think she realized that she was proving his point by responding & that's why she apologized.
Dawg, Cole praised this girl the entire song. I'm just as confused as Mal. All I heard was praise and him asking or trying to figure out how he can help.
@@TheAnonymousWriter_ its not about being triggered. If you say someshit and i think that pertains to me it is i should be able to communicate with you about what you said about "niggas like me"
@@ratchypoo if you feel like its about you key word feel.... You could reach out instead of making a track about and her bringing attention to her instead of bringing attention to whats going on in the world
He wasn’t divisive he message was correct, but it’s about perspective. When I saw folk upset I stopped what I was doing and went listened to the song, and said I see nothing wrong, so I then said let me go see why they are upset. Once I did that I said ya know they do have a point. It’s really no different than your white friends and etc who said nothing about the injustice but they have everything to say about the protest and riots . Only difference is Cole is out there, but it’s the same things. It’s not that what he said is wrong, but it’s that he feels more compelled to address her rather than the fact that even recently that a black woman was sexually assaulted and killed(by a black man) who was out protesting... or how a black dude took a skateboard and knocked a black woman out and walked off while other black dudes stood around laughing and etc, along with the protest and etc going on. So with all that especially being someone who seems deep and that he was out there you would think he felt more about that to write rather than her... That’s why they are upset. It’s not that what he said is wrong it’s just he could have said a multitude of other things.
Mr. G but he has written countless songs and has informed and given perspective to masses noname has never reached who are we to limit his art to what we want?
In a time where everyone who can say something has to say something now even silence is offensive. But no one ever stop to consider maybe he/she is shutting up so I can speak because he/she is self-aware. Self-aware enough to realize that their lack of knowledge may prove more detrimental than helpful, should they speak up. But everybody's on the Quick Draw with their phones and so eager to add their voices to conversations they shouldn't be a part of. Actions don't speak louder than words anymore that's one thing I've learned. Someone saying the most relevant, poignant, articulate, educated things do nothing to support their stance. But people listen. Someone silent but Physically Active trying to make the impact they would like to see in the world. People forget. Disputes like this shed light on one critical flaw in the movement for equality. We expect perfect allies and for people we like or admire to be infallible. And it can be the Doom of this entire movement. Perspective has become a rare Earth element and it's almost gone.
I thought I was the only who saw this, she's on this high ass horse and she needs to come down, and I'm saying this in a respectful manner as a black person
I’m not cancelling J Cole but riddle me this; if Noname is a wrong for indirecting J Cole was he wrong for releasing False Prophets and indirecting Kanye? Just because we like someone and their message doesn’t mean that everything they say is right or constructive. That goes for J Cole and Noname but I’m seeing a lot of comments getting at her and throwing words like feminism and denying patriarchy.
Keep in mind also TONE has been a historical trigger for black women. Think of the many Sterotypes developed by white culture including neck-snapping and abrasiveness attacking their Tone. He used a trigger word the same as telling a woman to "calm down" in an argument.
In his defense, he may not have known that. J Cole said himself that he doesn't have all the answers, which is why he hasn't been vocal on social media aside from responding to NoName.
When addressing someone, you do it respectfully. Tone plays a part in whether what you say sounds respectable or disrespectful, and condescending. I don't see how grown folks (especially black folks), can sit up here and act like this isn't something that's either correct it Immediately( in the beginning of a discussion), or leads to an unfinish discussion coming to an abrupt conclusion. Because no one is going to sit idly by and allow someone to speak to them any type of way. You tell your kids to watch their tone, but also speak to your children with one. It's a chicken and an egg scenario
@@battlerapvindustryclowns2028 but her tone is indicative of the struggle. J Cole focusing on her tone is similar to whites focusing on riots instead of protests.
To be honest, a lot of BW can be "attacky" in delivery. Angry BM especially, but as a BW who cares about Black Women's issues, I'm still not scared to admit that. Maybe managing that would help BW better get their points across.
How is her criticizing a certain group for not ‘protesting right’ considered perfectly fine but when someone responds to those accusations then he is attacking her
Rappers like J Cole and Kendrick BEEN talking about this for YEARS. Whole albums about this. If you look back J Cole has been protesting for years now, just look at the Michael Brown protest where he was there. This girl doesn’t know shit lol.
A lot of these so called "pro black" people are so arrogant and so uppity. J Cole is a true lyricist and emcee he did what a true emcee/lyricist does put his feelings into a song....Heterosexual black men are just on the chopping block we can't disagree with a black woman without being attacked or criticized for being misogynistic or just hating women in general...
No name was lowkey throwing shade and j Cole caught it and threw it back . She couldn’t take it and he looked a little egotistical in replying but all is fair in love and war meaning dont throw shade if you can’t catch it .
Ngl, Whoever thinks J.Cole attacked NoName is a simp. Mal, 100% Agree with you fam. Stand your ground. Black Women are great & amazing, BUTTTTTTTTT why cant a black man speak his honest opinion without getting judged? Cole been that dude to speak out and be honest with his audience, but when he disagrees with a black women about her tone on speaking about him and others that becomes a problem. When he writes a heart-felt honest response with no aggression in it, people wanna cancel him. Like Foh
This "beef" was some of the dumbest most mis-timed shit in the past few weeks. No name called out top selling rappers talking about black plight, which includes Cole and Kendrick. Cole responds and all of a sudden he's misogynistic? We are so divided as a people that we arguing over tweets or the lack of.
White dude and non-cole fan here, I respected Rory’s take on the situation but at the end of the day, I think that cole was (in a way) simply defending himself. I am not going to lead the charge in speaking my mind but it just seems like calling out someone like cole is counter productive because of his past actions, artistry, and his avoidance of soical media. Correct me if I’m wrong.
@@Jbourbz it's not that their take was wrong...the issue is that they would only acknowledge the offense that J Cole offered, and refused to acknowledge that Noname started the whole thing. Anytime a topic like this comes up they tow the exact same line...it's annoying and cowardly. Even after Joe and Mal tried to press them and make them focus on Noname's role, they refused. At the end of the day Noname has enough "clout" to reach out to the rappers she was blasting and help them to galvanize their influence. this would've been so much more effective. instead she chose to "shame" them (funny how women like to use that term so much). And then proceeded to womansplain lol...woke women are so phony. they do the exact same things that they don't want done to them. All the while rory and parks were too pussy to even see both sides of this thing. But beyond that, if rappers like kendrick and J cole have spent their entire careers creating art that speaks to this topic, and reached millions around the world with this message, who is Noname to strike up the band and demand that they take action according to her liking? They've been doing their part as artists for over a decade now. in the case of kendrick you could say he's dedicated his life's work to promoting such causes. noname was out of pocket, periodt.
And with that tone comment, his thing was " im good with your telling me how you feel but what you're not gonna do is talk to me like you're better." There is no way I can see a man speaking to a woman with tone being involved without women getting offended because of the world we are in.
I wanted that dude Rory to shut up for real. He talked over everyone and it was so he could get his taking points out. If that was about talking points he should of went on CNN to give those taking points.
Exactly!!! I felt like this was a situation that was blown completely out of proportion. I’m from NC, and we know what J Cole does for the community. He doesn’t have to post or tweet about it. There are many other black women who feel the same!
I don't agree with anybody saying the song is sexist, but part of Cole's message IS to "Get off your high horse". The other part of the message is "Show us how we can do better." which can also be interpreted as a snarky. It's like when you're doing something your way, and someone tells you "Nah don't do it like that." And then you snap back "Well why don't you show me how to do it since you have an opinion?!" But I'd like to think Cole was being sincere with that message. All in all, I don't think Cole was wrong for making the track, and I don't feel like people were wrong for feeling some kind of way, but I don't think it's a beef.
Yoshi Dev Cole or Mal? Cole gave his untimely opinion, but just because he didn’t read the room first don’t mean Black women “cancelling” him. Im talkin bout Mal cuz it’s SAD when a white man has to say “this how some Black women I know feel” and it’s completely dismissed by a BLACK man. That’s what happened.
He talk shit about Kendrick too. Almost like he doesn't like him. Joe likes Drake (Even after bodying him, because of a dispute taken too far.), & it seems as though he might be standing up for him, by going against Kendrick. I doubt Joe has a real reason to hate Lamar, but who knows.
Point Blank period AS A BLACK WOMAN..Cole said and did NOTHING WRONG!!!! People make it sound like he was policing her tone but they steady missing the point of what he is saying. It was much less from a point of “Yo shorty watch how you talk to me” and more of a “please don’t be condescending towards me or drag me for my ignorance. I admit I’m ignorant in certain things but help me understand because I’m willing” How don’t y’all understand that? I spoke about “tone” and how some “WOKE” people speak with such a disdain or holier than thou tone and it’s very off putting and actually does the opposite of what we say our entire goal is not just as a movement but as a people. And yes, it is our own responsibility to learn new information and enlighten ourselves. But there’s always gonna be someone that’s more advanced or more versed on things. So share that knowledge! But share it with love and good intentions. And remember at one point you were ignorant to the things you know now. ✨
Man I laughed when that hand started talking out the left side of my screen. Lol I barely started watching this show but it's becoming one of my favorites.
So it was ok for her to call him and others out but when someone responded i.e. J. Cole, let’s cancel Cole. For people to say that it was hypocritical for him to do what he did during the current times but give her a pass for essentially doing the same thing is very hypocritical...
@Kimmminem West Kim, I saw that you said somewhere that NoName didnt directly mention Cole, so therefore he shouldn't have responded. Name the rappers who you think she was talking about then. Cuz it seems to me that she was subbing Cole and Kenny
Been listening to Cole for over a decade not as much over the last couple years but way before he blew up & he's been speaking on this shit, go back and listen to his early work, furthermore, he was one of the first rappers or "celebs" out there on the frontline while all these "celebs" were tweeting and putting up instagram posts being fake activists. Pay homage, show respect, why are you coming at people for? Go out there and stand by those who are already there which will inspire more to come through, fake righteous people tryna get an applause & attention. Also people who partake in this cancel culture must have nothing going on with their life as they sit around waiting for someone who's known to do something to be outraged, how do you live life like that? He didn't disrespect nothing or nobody he actually spoke a lot of truth about these fake activists.
Dave Chapelle said the same thing about people looking to celebrities. There are plenty of people feeling the same way as Cole. Everyone isn't a Killer Mike, Lupe, Bun B famous or not so this will resonate with this song. Can't throw stones and live in a glass house.
Using the term ‘tone’ is triggering for black women. We get ridiculed for our tone when men don’t and often time lose our voices in fear that our tone will be misconstrued for aggression and the message gets lost. Cole shouldn’t have addressed that, everything else is legitimate.
please get that outta here do black women unjustly get critiqued for their tone, most definitely but it’s in certain spaces and environments where their voices are being suppressed or they’re just seen as the “angry black woman” in this instance that is not the case and NoName has a history of fumbling her message because her delivery. just like Joe I know my tone is shit, my delivery is harsh and lacks lil cushion however the difference between me and noname is the fact that I know this and I accept any consequence that comes to me because of it. Noname knows she was wrong because she’s deleted tweets multiple times. if black men are gonna protect black women we need to hold y’all accountable for your actions just like ya hold us accountable
Female attacks male...male responds..male is hung by the world while the female just casually coasts away with no accountability in sight...coo 👌🏾😂 ppl kill me
I'd like to see NoName list out the rappers she was originally talking about. Take ownership of your stance now that its gotten this deep. Or was this all for clout?
Kimmminem West I think you’re right but if she called out certain people, her tweet would be less vague and more specific about what she is trying to discuss. However I know there would be ramifications if people were called out like cole, kendrick etc
This is a dumbass take, if she named names people like you would be saying “she only named j coles name for clout” if anything her not naming names proves it wasn’t for clout. Also I hate when people say shit is for clout such a dumb way to dismiss an argument, talk about what she’s actually saying
Bro..... Noname started it..... plain & simple..... And EVENTUALLY, (not now), we will have to address this "let me criticize you without a rebuttal" complex that queens like noname have......
When Rory and Parks has to translate how black women feel to black men who aren't aware enough🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ stop always trying to defend men and recognize when they're wrong. Its sad how Rory and parks do a better job educating themselves on black issues. Joe and mal need to step the f up. And look at situations from OTHER povs. Not theirs.
One week we praise chapelle for saying “who cares what a celebrity has to say right now” and now we critique j cole for staying quiet. People just pick and choose with all these feuds. It’s j cole anyone hating on that man is bugging, no name gotta mind her own business
J Cole isn't just a "celebrity", he's an artist who's art implies that what's going on in the black community, is something he'd be involved in.
No one is necessarily looking for Chris Tucker at the protest.
Dave Chappelle said that while using his platform to speak up .. don’t disregard that part lol.
Its not the same people. Theres a bunch of people
Don Lemon called out Chappelle and other celebrities to say something. Chappelle said "“who cares what a celebrity has to say right now" but then spent almost 30 mins on the police brutality issue and everyone watched and raved that he addressed the issue on the streets. Clearly lots of people care..Lemon didn't even respond to the Chappllle calling him out because he got Chappelle to do what he asked him to do.
People had an issue with J Cole because he claimed that he doesn't know enough while he's out there on the streets working his activism. Also for what he perceives as not to know enough of, there are plenty of articles written by fellow activists that he could easily Google or contact them about. He spent half of the track saying how he read her timeline and summarized what he got from it but her tone and her perceived hate in that 1 tweet is what REALLY got to him????
NoName Song 33 showed him how his Snow On That Bluff should have been. Address the main issue like Chappelle then throw a 1 line shade about calling you out.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t
Is tweeting activism? He was going to protests, but the problem is he didn’t tweet about it? I’m confused
@Kimmminem West says the girl with her tongue out.. Clown!
He went AFTER noname tweeted
That’s why I really don’t think the tweet was directed at him...lol but he went off
@The BrotherHood J Cole bought homes for battered mother's to live in and get on their feet. Where's the fraud in at? Stop bitching and do something

Mal is right, but I think the other side is right too. Basically what they are saying is the same complaint I had against white friends and etc . You said nothing about the injustice and the countless black people being killed by cops, but you have everything to say about the protest and riots.... if you can’t address the injustice you shouldn’t address the symptom of the injustice.
Well they are saying the same to Cole.... he may be out in the field but he didn’t choose to use his voice in this time to speak up on the more prevalent issues he felt more compelled to address this black woman in a period where that’s not really the most important thing.
So I don’t think what he said was wrong and I agree a lot with mal take, but I also agree with the other side too.
I also agree with J.cole on what he said, and the very things he said in the song has been told to me by black men and women. Very much like Joe said that some “woke” people speak condescending to or about those they perceive as sleep, or sheep, and etc.
They comprehended the shit perfectly, they just like pandering to females because they're scarred to get canceled.
Its her punk ass Twitter stans
Rational Consumer Facts
What doesn’t make sense to me is how Rory and Parks were so quick to say “I’m not a person of color so I can’t speak on this.” But was even quicker to refute Joe and Mal on valid points. In all honestly, this track was more about Cole than it was about Noname, he just used this specific topic do it. Well, to many that may be “egotistical”, but in actuality it was humble, he showed humility.
their default position is to side with the mob out of fear of being cancelled. its why they keep reminding us theyre not p.o.c. to try and disarm their identity. gross behavior.
To speak about yourself in a month of all these deaths and not mention one victim? Bad move
Not to mention, white men aren't gonna go against any women, color or not. Too effeminately minded.
It aint that , its becuase they whipped and have to side with significant other when it comes to matters of women
Our community gotta stop having private conversations in public.
Yes
Word!!!
That’s our number one issue

But then how will you feed your ego if you aren’t there virtue signaling everyone?
I'm with Mal 100% I'd do not see all the animosity, hate or even cancelation for J Cole.
Imo I think she was talking ab Kendrick more so then Cole in that tweet anyway
Rory said "what if they didn't see that tweet?" It's not J.Coles fault if people jump out the window without knowing the entire story. I heard Snow on the bluff first and then noticed it was a response. After that, I decided to do the research and find out why it went down... enter no name. Then I heard her rebuttal. She did not listen to J.Cole, she just got offended when she started the shit with that general ass tweet where you have J.Cole, Kendrick, Wale, Jay-Z or whoever you want to put there.... Cole did good.
But Coles song was about her, she had a great point, all the shit going on right now and he made a song about her, but been a little quiet about everything else.
And on top of that to police her tone when most of the black community is engaged right now, not a good look
Elias Gregory it was about her but it was a response to her callin him out about not speaking on wats goin on and he was telling her he’s not that deep and don’t know enough to lead and when he said her tone was bothering him he mean why is she downing him cause he don’t know as much as her and how u gon lead if u attackin the ppl you need which is true most reactions is how things are said instead of wats said and she was attackin him first
Elias Gregory how is he quiet when he’s been protesting? Y’all sad.
@@PyroLeo1 So she can't get checked for coming at ppl wrong bc "other things are going on"? She can't be wrong or make mistakes and be told about it because "other stuff going on"? No other conversations can be had and all will be attacked because "black lives matter" now. Nah black ppl been getting killed. This is not new. We can do two things at once: protest for BLM and lovingly rebuke our brethren...or sisters. We been doin it for 400 yrs.
@@summerrain6125 How did she come at someone wrong? She barely "came" at anyone. She just said " i wish more of y'all was out here with me" and Cole was like "Watch your mouth"...lol
So we’re at a point in history were a man can’t address a person who happens to be a woman without it being an abuse of “patriarchy”??? Salute to J Cole for doubling down.
Couldnt have said it better myself
It's not that he can't address her, but he made a song largely about her and her tone, with all that's going on, his song was about her, her song was redirecting focus back to the issues at hand.
@@PyroLeo1 bruh if y'all never heard the word "tone" you wouldn't bring it up
@@PyroLeo1 And yes the manner or delivery of her message was wrong male or female. I will not cap because of her gender. She was looking down on whoever that was aimed at and its wrong. Tweet came from a place of ego and a high horse in my opinion.
@@paulokogbenin8470 Maybe, but the song is Cole basically saying "You're right, I should do more but I don't like the way you said it... if you want to reach more ppl you shouldn't say it like that", while the second point is valid, both points are whack, to paraphrase noname, poor black people are literally rising their lives and Cole wants her to speak in a better manner, that's lame.
It's basically respectability politics.
J. Cole went on david letterman and performed be free....like I don't get it
All these people talking about Cole "tone policing" someone. When he's ultimately saying there's a way to address someone or hold them accountable without the accusatory, hypercritical tone or berating. And because he said that to a woman he is wrong?
Yall missed the point. Narcissists want a socially acceptable way to express their ego, so they do so behind the cloak of a righteous cause. This is what Cole was talking about, and how conveying moral superiority is mistaken as leadership on social media. Belittling "lesser" people in the name of your ego is counterproductive to any movement. Cole shared one of the more profound messages that people needed to hear, but of course yall simplified it to the same identity politics bullshit ("black woman" this, "white man" that)
Yes thank you
Thank you for understanding what Cole said
I was thinking that it this sounds very narcissist
Powerful observation. Alot of what is going on is about this
👍🏾
Everybody is not with cancelling J Cole just cause we disagree with the song timing or other content in it.
They're giving that energy though. And some of em are tryna cancel him.
A lot of people have been saying hes sexist etc
@@Ilzaza2 good thing canceling is completely meaningless
@@wgo523 idk bout that man. That shit can affect they're income potential cuz it ends up tarnishing one's reputation cancelled or not.
Thank God for Cole hive 🙏🏾
Deezel215 it only hurts ppl without a core fan base like Doja or these corny actors. J cold soldified. Shit No name can be canceled
So Noname can send out a toxic tweet as well as drop a response track “while the worlds in smoke” but J cole can’t? Stupidity is at an all time high.
And he track f***ing sucked
He has a bigger voice and with that comes more responsibility. Not as many people gunna see or care what she says. Not to offend her but it’s true.
one two I feel you but what did he say that was wrong exactly? He told her she was smarter than he was and called her a Queen. All he said was watch your tone because that tweet was pretty disrespectful..it accused rappers like Cole/Kendrick that they just used Black plight for plays..that’s a disrespectful assumption.
How was her tweet toxic if she did t say names. Cole made a song about an old tweet that had no personal attachment and made a whole song.He tweeted out basically he only trying to be deep and not worried wether what he says is factual long as it sounds good. That’s the toxic level because on things of this nature in these times you shouldn’t play with it especially when it’s documented that he flirts and benefits from the aesthetics of activism.
Kimmminem West She wasn’t shot and oppression isn’t the context of the conversation. This is about being accountable for what you say & how you say it. She sent out a tweet that subliminally dissed certain rappers. Because she didn’t put a name on it ANYBODY & EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO RESPOND. When speaking as an adult to other adults it is always best to address the person or situation you are speaking to/about so it won’t lead to any confusion or misunderstandings. Secondly Cole & Kendrick were out there weeks before she tweeted that. It’s been reported by multiple news outlets as well the multitude of things Cole has done in his hometown of Fayetteville. So what exactly has anyone gone through that gives them the right to slander or make comments about ppl of their own race without proper research or background info??🤨😒😑
No, people are only upset bc he responded to a woman. That’s not allowed to some people. Chance the Caper is also a clown.
Fact
PRECISELY MAN
Chance the rapper corny as hell, pretty sure he's jealous of Cole for the way he's loved. Chance is an opportunist.
that dude chance is a blue pill simp, sum1 need 2 get that dude a tampon,
James Lazarus Chance definitely jealous. Ain’t no way that you do a “friend” like that. Maybe if he didn’t walk on eggshells and put his feelings into music he wouldn’t be trash.
Sensitivity is at an all-time high
Sensitivity is expected this is stupidity
Yep, soft as 🐸frog balls🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣
H
Look at what's going on in the world right now, sensitivity is to be expected...there are so many emotions about so many things that have been brewing in society, plus black people are redefining our relationships with each other based around community and harm reduction...this is just part of the process.
FACTS!!
ColeWorld is un-cancel-able !
Yes he is...
He not
Versatil Titan stop trolling. He is not cancellable.
🗣BIGFACTS
Na not even saying that, it’s just that this is a silly thing to try and cancel him for especially when you consider his career in totality
Rory like shiiid,just don’t cancel me. He had “I’m a whiteman” on repeat,lol.
Mal was actually on point this episode Rory sounded like an idiot cole did and said nothing wrong.
Craziest part is she was mad he didn’t tweet, whole time he showing up at the protests. I guess a tweet is greater than actual action.
She was mad he didnt make music on the issue and educate the millions of 14 year old white fans he got. Dont nobody give a fuck about no tweet
He has alot more influence that's why
He's protesting with hundreds of people. Meanwhile he has 13.5 MILLION followers on twitter. Which do you think has a bigger impact.
@Kimmminem West so you care more about a stupid tweet than an actual appearance at a protest? You'd rather he speak about it than BE about it?
@@sicksadworld6221 That's exactly what they'd rather. A fuckin tweet matters more than ACTUAL CHANGE. It sucks that people don't know how to use their brain anymore.
This whole thing makes me want to go out of my way to support J. Cole now. I was never a J. Cole stan but I can't let him lose to this stupid shit.
J cole will never be cancelled period!
Yes he will
Didn’t nobody even pay that no mind when they said that lol
She subbed him, he replied back to her. It has nothing to do with black women. It's a one on one conversation
And he was wrong. Which is why we are telling him to just shut up and listen and learn
She didn’t sub him, she was talking about lots of people l
Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot she definitely subbed him and Kendrick. She called him out and he responded. We have to be fair. So everybody is cool with her calling them out but we accuse him of calling her out for saying his peace about it. No
Exactly, this isn't a battle, it's just a conversation that stemmed from miscommunication.
Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot lots of people like who? Future and DaBaby? What other rappers besides Cole and Kendrick have discographies about black plight and struggle and all that but weren’t seen on the frontlines? Cuz that’s what the tweet basically said
This was ridiculous...subs was dropped towards him, he responded, then everyone questioned his response?! 🤔
Bc she’s a woman.
The world we live in... smh.
I guess if you’re a male, you’re not allowed to have an opinion 🤷🏾♂️
The hypocrisy is amazing; how can no one see it?
Rob i see it
It was clear she was talking bout Cole and Kendrick...
Which is funny cause Kendrick already put out TPaB
I thought she was talking about drake
Isaac Fuentes Drake never made an album about blm movements and police brutality and things like that. She pretty much said that dude's make a whole album about blm and stuff like that but never be in the streets protesting. The only ones who have done it, to my knowledge, are Cole and Kendrick.
Bernard Jordan true but let’s be honest drake is way bigger than both of them and I still haven’t seen him speak on anything that’s happening right now.
Kendrick said in the heart part 4 , “when shit gets real don’t ask for me how many “leaders” gone tell you the truth after me”. Therefore he would never respond to her bc he just did 3 years early. That’s why he’s the 🐐
Mal had this one down 100%. Cole took out his ego. All he was saying is coming at someone crazy for not knowing something or being uneducated about something ain't the move.
@Kimmminem West in her opinion, she was puffing up her ego & down talking others.
@Kimmminem West she said she was wrong
@The BrotherHood she admitted she was wrong
"Whatever Rapsody says about this matter is how Joe feels" I completely agree lol, that woman is wise beyond her years.
The squad needs to leave Mal alone he is right 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
They never showed Mal where the attack was lol
Mal playing on rookie... 😹
Like Mal said.. "This is J Cole's response".. everyone seems to forget who started the whole exchange. lmao
Noname: y’alls favorite rappers ain’t doing shit for us out here
Cole: damn that was harsh
Noname supporters: damn j cole! You didn’t have to do her like that! She’s a _black woman!!_ stop tone policing!!
Y’all gotta grow up
Ong
I don't even see "snow on the bluff" as a diss... There's nothing diss related in the song imo
New Millennial Shit
They mad because he made this song at this time? Me as a black woman that heard the song multiple times(to make sure i didnt miss anything) i think cole telling this smart woman that theres a better way to teach our people is EXACTLY what we need right now. We need to educate each other. Us protesting and marching doesnt matter if we're not educated. The main thing that kept slaves down was lack of education
100%
and the sad part is when ppl make the "ur an adult so u should find the information yourself" argument. so now ppl dont even want us to educate each other.
Nitro FuZe our society lacks empathy and perspective and we are now outright refusing to change
How about the fact that she puts a song out about 4 days later proving his point. Its like🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️, I've been following noname for years and she does shit on people.
Thank you
I'm with J. Cole and the guy in the high chair !! It was a letter. A poetic way for someone who felt like they aren't "doing enough" and arent knowledged on the issues , it wasn't bad timing, wasn't disrespectful, wasn't bad taste
Honestly J Cole said nothing wrong in that song, i respect him for actually responding to that chick Noname, she was outta place for assuming he wasn't doing anything just because he didn't tweet. the guy barely use social media.
So he assumed, said he assumed, basically said he’s a hit dog hollering but she’s the only one out of line. Some of you Cole fans have wayward views in defending him you really go against all the “work” he’s doing!
@@jordss3455 she admitted she was wrong
@Kimmminem West she said she was wrong
Kimmminem West shut up lame
Mr. Bobby Wright I never said she didn’t...I’m juxtaposing how many people are happy to make sure we acknowledge Noname was wrong but Cole is entitled to his feeling and how he expresses them.
Jcole 3-0 🥺
L
Might be the first time Ive ever agreed with Mal on a social issue topic.
Completely ridiculous that women are mad at this.
The references to her in this song are some of the mildest and most friendly half criticisms Ive ever heard in a rap song.
Mal is 100% correct cole is not a disrespectful person
Nobody said he was. We said the song was hurtful and tone policing period. Full stop. Yall tryna defend arguments that werent even made.
Also, she called out Top 5 selling artists who’s catalogue was about Black Plight. If NOBODY else, she was talking to Cole and Dot.
This is the equivalent of someone hitting someone and complaining when they get back...
Kimmminem West yes it is
This is a 140 character subtweet about no one specific vs a 4min direct song about someone .. it’s not equivalent at all.
That's what they do
@@hberryma he didn't mention a name in the song
Mr. Bobby Wright he directly tweeted her after saying it was about her
but j cole is actually in the streets with the people. so who cares about him not tweeting?
The fact that he’s a man and he spoke his mind and spoke his truth especially to women to women that is disrespectful because in today’s society women feel like they can speak to men and talk to men however they feel like and we should always speak to them with respect or we shouldn’t get upset
I swear. Its interesting how women period want us to be more open and emotional. Then when we do most of the time what we say creates an issue. It's as if they say that to make us feel better and never truly want us to be open.
And if we do get upset over anything we're suddenly "insecure"
Facts
That's all it is... Noname gets to sit & complain about who's not being a leader instead of actually being one... She gets to talk shit about the same black people that need to be educated & not belittled in a time like this. But, let a man pinpoint what it is she's doing.. It's patriarchy. I think she realized that she was proving his point by responding & that's why she apologized.
Narcissism at its finest
Dawg, Cole praised this girl the entire song. I'm just as confused as Mal. All I heard was praise and him asking or trying to figure out how he can help.
Misogyny makes it hard for you to hear go get a qtip and try and clean that shit out
because a lot of our women are dealing with trauma and attacking jcole for shit they are dealing with from other people.
Joshtrip1™ Gaming sounds like u can’t hear through your misogynistic filled ears
AT THE SAME TIME ASKING HER TO WATCH HER TONE
Joshtrip1™ Gaming you couldn’t hear through all the misogyny in your ears either huh
Shout out to mal for not bending the knee to feminism
There is a difference between standing with black women and coddling them, Rory and Parks sound like they were coddling.
I think its the exact opposite, cole is literally asking to be coddled because he has a issue with noname's delivery.
do you not see the irony in this statement after hearing coles response? honest question, not being a dick
And she sneak dissed first anyway. Everybody looking past that part.
No, she didn’t. She didn’t say anyone’s name specifically. If you get triggered, deal with your trigger that’s your shit !
@@TheAnonymousWriter_ its not about being triggered. If you say someshit and i think that pertains to me it is i should be able to communicate with you about what you said about "niggas like me"
@@ratchypoo if you feel like its about you key word feel.... You could reach out instead of making a track about and her bringing attention to her instead of bringing attention to whats going on in the world
Tori Mitchenor that’s the whole point in sneak dissing though, you diss without saying anyone’s name specifically😂🤦🏾♂️
Jcole did not come out divisive and I am a black woman rory
Thank you
Thank you queen
He wasn’t divisive he message was correct, but it’s about perspective. When I saw folk upset I stopped what I was doing and went listened to the song, and said I see nothing wrong, so I then said let me go see why they are upset.
Once I did that I said ya know they do have a point. It’s really no different than your white friends and etc who said nothing about the injustice but they have everything to say about the protest and riots . Only difference is Cole is out there, but it’s the same things. It’s not that what he said is wrong, but it’s that he feels more compelled to address her rather than the fact that even recently that a black woman was sexually assaulted and killed(by a black man) who was out protesting... or how a black dude took a skateboard and knocked a black woman out and walked off while other black dudes stood around laughing and etc, along with the protest and etc going on.
So with all that especially being someone who seems deep and that he was out there you would think he felt more about that to write rather than her...
That’s why they are upset. It’s not that what he said is wrong it’s just he could have said a multitude of other things.
Rory tryna be “politically correct” 🤣🤣
Mr. G but he has written countless songs and has informed and given perspective to masses noname has never reached who are we to limit his art to what we want?
In a time where everyone who can say something has to say something now even silence is offensive. But no one ever stop to consider maybe he/she is shutting up so I can speak because he/she is self-aware. Self-aware enough to realize that their lack of knowledge may prove more detrimental than helpful, should they speak up. But everybody's on the Quick Draw with their phones and so eager to add their voices to conversations they shouldn't be a part of. Actions don't speak louder than words anymore that's one thing I've learned. Someone saying the most relevant, poignant, articulate, educated things do nothing to support their stance. But people listen. Someone silent but Physically Active trying to make the impact they would like to see in the world. People forget. Disputes like this shed light on one critical flaw in the movement for equality. We expect perfect allies and for people we like or admire to be infallible. And it can be the Doom of this entire movement. Perspective has become a rare Earth element and it's almost gone.
This thought was conveyed perfectly
Great response
Spot on with the lack of perspective in today’s society

@The BrotherHood he's has always been out protesting tho lmao
@The BrotherHood she admitted she was wrong
I’m not cancelling J Cole but riddle me this; if Noname is a wrong for indirecting J Cole was he wrong for releasing False Prophets and indirecting Kanye?
Just because we like someone and their message doesn’t mean that everything they say is right or constructive. That goes for J Cole and Noname but I’m seeing a lot of comments getting at her and throwing words like feminism and denying patriarchy.
Noname wasnt wrong for indirecting J Cole, the issue was her tone.
JohnyTuff1 if it was about tone why did we support cole in his tone toward Kanye and Wale, it was equally condescending
@@JohnyTuff1 If it really was about tone, out of all this mess going on. Then that's some bullshit. Fr
J.cole said it wasn’t about kanye
Mal speakin and these 3 jokesters constantly poppin in with corny lines
Straight up!
😂😂😂 “It’s not even what you said, it’s your tone.” Joe sometimes
Lil bit more to it than just that
Keep in mind also TONE has been a historical trigger for black women. Think of the many Sterotypes developed by white culture including neck-snapping and abrasiveness attacking their Tone. He used a trigger word the same as telling a woman to "calm down" in an argument.
In his defense, he may not have known that. J Cole said himself that he doesn't have all the answers, which is why he hasn't been vocal on social media aside from responding to NoName.
When addressing someone, you do it respectfully. Tone plays a part in whether what you say sounds respectable or disrespectful, and condescending. I don't see how grown folks (especially black folks), can sit up here and act like this isn't something that's either correct it Immediately( in the beginning of a discussion), or leads to an unfinish discussion coming to an abrupt conclusion. Because no one is going to sit idly by and allow someone to speak to them any type of way.
You tell your kids to watch their tone, but also speak to your children with one. It's a chicken and an egg scenario
@@battlerapvindustryclowns2028 but her tone is indicative of the struggle. J Cole focusing on her tone is similar to whites focusing on riots instead of protests.
@@PyroLeo1

Similar how?
To be honest, a lot of BW can be "attacky" in delivery. Angry BM especially, but as a BW who cares about Black Women's issues, I'm still not scared to admit that. Maybe managing that would help BW better get their points across.

my naija sista on point!!!!
Thankkk youuuuuu!!!
How is her criticizing a certain group for not ‘protesting right’ considered perfectly fine but when someone responds to those accusations then he is attacking her
He did not speak about the victims...
@@veryrarekev he spoke plenty by actually being on the front line. so unless he tweets that, its not valid???
Rappers like J Cole and Kendrick BEEN talking about this for YEARS. Whole albums about this. If you look back J Cole has been protesting for years now, just look at the Michael Brown protest where he was there.
This girl doesn’t know shit lol.
A lot of these so called "pro black" people are so arrogant and so uppity. J Cole is a true lyricist and emcee he did what a true emcee/lyricist does put his feelings into a song....Heterosexual black men are just on the chopping block we can't disagree with a black woman without being attacked or criticized for being misogynistic or just hating women in general...
Hey Boo-I’m with you...J Cole bodies Snow and they mad!! I loved it...he was RIGHT!
No name was lowkey throwing shade and j Cole caught it and threw it back . She couldn’t take it and he looked a little egotistical in replying but all is fair in love and war meaning dont throw shade if you can’t catch it .
Yep
How is it ego? She chose to say what she said at a time like this. She also said if you don't say something or tweet your a sell out
Didnt J Cole in the end say, maybe he needs to do better...
Ngl, Whoever thinks J.Cole attacked NoName is a simp. Mal, 100% Agree with you fam. Stand your ground. Black Women are great & amazing, BUTTTTTTTTT why cant a black man speak his honest opinion without getting judged? Cole been that dude to speak out and be honest with his audience, but when he disagrees with a black women about her tone on speaking about him and others that becomes a problem. When he writes a heart-felt honest response with no aggression in it, people wanna cancel him. Like Foh
This "beef" was some of the dumbest most mis-timed shit in the past few weeks. No name called out top selling rappers talking about black plight, which includes Cole and Kendrick. Cole responds and all of a sudden he's misogynistic? We are so divided as a people that we arguing over tweets or the lack of.
Kimmminem West how so
Rory and Parks dating black women turned them into simps. They don’t want to get in trouble back home
Pander boys lol
White dude and non-cole fan here, I respected Rory’s take on the situation but at the end of the day, I think that cole was (in a way) simply defending himself. I am not going to lead the charge in speaking my mind but it just seems like calling out someone like cole is counter productive because of his past actions, artistry, and his avoidance of soical media. Correct me if I’m wrong.
@Kimmminem West treating women with kid gloves and not as adults that can be critiqued is a bad thing. Nice try tho
@@Jbourbz it's not that their take was wrong...the issue is that they would only acknowledge the offense that J Cole offered, and refused to acknowledge that Noname started the whole thing. Anytime a topic like this comes up they tow the exact same line...it's annoying and cowardly. Even after Joe and Mal tried to press them and make them focus on Noname's role, they refused.
At the end of the day Noname has enough "clout" to reach out to the rappers she was blasting and help them to galvanize their influence. this would've been so much more effective. instead she chose to "shame" them (funny how women like to use that term so much). And then proceeded to womansplain lol...woke women are so phony. they do the exact same things that they don't want done to them. All the while rory and parks were too pussy to even see both sides of this thing.
But beyond that, if rappers like kendrick and J cole have spent their entire careers creating art that speaks to this topic, and reached millions around the world with this message, who is Noname to strike up the band and demand that they take action according to her liking? They've been doing their part as artists for over a decade now. in the case of kendrick you could say he's dedicated his life's work to promoting such causes. noname was out of pocket, periodt.
? Don’t need to be defending yourself, just shut up and listen
And with that tone comment, his thing was " im good with your telling me how you feel but what you're not gonna do is talk to me like you're better." There is no way I can see a man speaking to a woman with tone being involved without women getting offended because of the world we are in.
She is better
Aldo Medina She’s a clout chaser
This whole beef shows how this generation takes criticism as somebody attacking them
Parks and Rory are arguing the feminist position. It is RIDICULOUS.
They'd be attacked for their identity if they said the opposite.
But if they held your opinion you'd have absolutely nothing to say.
Why do you think arguing a feminist position is ridiculous?
You think the white males with black spouses would do otherwise? Parks is pretty leftist as is lol
@jojo dancer That's only if you think the understood subject is not worth arguing for.
Why is Rory seeing black women as a monolith? This was ALLEGEDLY about noname ans simply noname. Not Black women.
Rational Observation
I wanted that dude Rory to shut up for real. He talked over everyone and it was so he could get his taking points out. If that was about talking points he should of went on CNN to give those taking points.
@@jonathanfulp98 haha CNN is indeed the place. I mean you're absolutely right. He should've shut up after his first "I'm a with dude"
Misogyny at its finest here
Exactly!!! I felt like this was a situation that was blown completely out of proportion. I’m from NC, and we know what J Cole does for the community. He doesn’t have to post or tweet about it. There are many other black women who feel the same!
I don't agree with anybody saying the song is sexist, but part of Cole's message IS to "Get off your high horse". The other part of the message is "Show us how we can do better." which can also be interpreted as a snarky. It's like when you're doing something your way, and someone tells you "Nah don't do it like that." And then you snap back "Well why don't you show me how to do it since you have an opinion?!" But I'd like to think Cole was being sincere with that message.
All in all, I don't think Cole was wrong for making the track, and I don't feel like people were wrong for feeling some kind of way, but I don't think it's a beef.
Mal: “Everybody should not have a voice”
👀...word ?....🙄
Yeah, he speaking facts, some people just toxic and dont add anything
Yoshi Dev Cole or Mal? Cole gave his untimely opinion, but just because he didn’t read the room first don’t mean Black women “cancelling” him. Im talkin bout Mal cuz it’s SAD when a white man has to say “this how some Black women I know feel” and it’s completely dismissed by a BLACK man. That’s what happened.
“I’m not mad about j cole personally”, as he continue to talk trash about him. Foh
Parks clearly sides with Noname. Which he should just say
that's ok. It's just criticism. I can love a friend and criticize him.
The Dragon's Weapon. Parks agrees with Noname strictly on the basis that she literally didn’t say Cole’s name. So why address it?
He talk shit about Kendrick too. Almost like he doesn't like him. Joe likes Drake (Even after bodying him, because of a dispute taken too far.), & it seems as though he might be standing up for him, by going against Kendrick. I doubt Joe has a real reason to hate Lamar, but who knows.
Rory makes no sense and and goes hard for the bull crap he spits. He needs to be switched out with the screen guy.
Damn Rory... What are you talking about Bro 🤦🏾♂️
Nothing was wrong with J. Cole's song. It was not offensive or disrespectful.
Point Blank period AS A BLACK WOMAN..Cole said and did NOTHING WRONG!!!! People make it sound like he was policing her tone but they steady missing the point of what he is saying. It was much less from a point of “Yo shorty watch how you talk to me” and more of a “please don’t be condescending towards me or drag me for my ignorance. I admit I’m ignorant in certain things but help me understand because I’m willing” How don’t y’all understand that? I spoke about “tone” and how some “WOKE” people speak with such a disdain or holier than thou tone and it’s very off putting and actually does the opposite of what we say our entire goal is not just as a movement but as a people. And yes, it is our own responsibility to learn new information and enlighten ourselves. But there’s always gonna be someone that’s more advanced or more versed on things. So share that knowledge! But share it with love and good intentions. And remember at one point you were ignorant to the things you know now. ✨
We are allowed to say a woman was wrong!
Man I laughed when that hand started talking out the left side of my screen. Lol I barely started watching this show but it's becoming one of my favorites.
"when you saying "low key" , we know you actually mean high key " =)
So it was ok for her to call him and others out but when someone responded i.e. J. Cole, let’s cancel Cole. For people to say that it was hypocritical for him to do what he did during the current times but give her a pass for essentially doing the same thing is very hypocritical...
Mal got this.
Of COURSE he should’ve talked about her fuckin tone! Her tone wuz shitting on rappers who she felt weren’t doing enuf.
Damn is mal actually speaking with sense?
@Kimmminem West Kim, I saw that you said somewhere that NoName didnt directly mention Cole, so therefore he shouldn't have responded. Name the rappers who you think she was talking about then. Cuz it seems to me that she was subbing Cole and Kenny
Been listening to Cole for over a decade not as much over the last couple years but way before he blew up & he's been speaking on this shit, go back and listen to his early work, furthermore, he was one of the first rappers or "celebs" out there on the frontline while all these "celebs" were tweeting and putting up instagram posts being fake activists.
Pay homage, show respect, why are you coming at people for? Go out there and stand by those who are already there which will inspire more to come through, fake righteous people tryna get an applause & attention. Also people who partake in this cancel culture must have nothing going on with their life as they sit around waiting for someone who's known to do something to be outraged, how do you live life like that? He didn't disrespect nothing or nobody he actually spoke a lot of truth about these fake activists.
Mal is a real man much respect to him and Joe is dope for seeing many facets to a situation
Dave Chapelle said the same thing about people looking to celebrities. There are plenty of people feeling the same way as Cole. Everyone isn't a Killer Mike, Lupe, Bun B famous or not so this will resonate with this song. Can't throw stones and live in a glass house.
Y’all need to have a black women appear on the show because you constantly talk about the lack of a female voice.
Using the term ‘tone’ is triggering for black women. We get ridiculed for our tone when men don’t and often time lose our voices in fear that our tone will be misconstrued for aggression and the message gets lost. Cole shouldn’t have addressed that, everything else is legitimate.
please get that outta here do black women unjustly get critiqued for their tone, most definitely but it’s in certain spaces and environments where their voices are being suppressed or they’re just seen as the “angry black woman” in this instance that is not the case and NoName has a history of fumbling her message because her delivery. just like Joe I know my tone is shit, my delivery is harsh and lacks lil cushion however the difference between me and noname is the fact that I know this and I accept any consequence that comes to me because of it. Noname knows she was wrong because she’s deleted tweets multiple times. if black men are gonna protect black women we need to hold y’all accountable for your actions just like ya hold us accountable
Sensitivity today would cancel even Malcolm x and mlk
Female attacks male...male responds..male is hung by the world while the female just casually coasts away with no accountability in sight...coo 👌🏾😂 ppl kill me
Lol get em mal 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 u speaking facts bro
@20:25 seconds.... Joe made my point. Good shit.
If you think that J. Cole is attacking that girl then you don't respect him as a rapper. If he wanted to attack her he'd destroy her.
If he wanted to, he would have named the victims of the last month in a song. He did not...
Joe budden funny as fuck. The look on his face in the thumbnail tells you his answer already lmaoo 😂😂
I'd like to see NoName list out the rappers she was originally talking about. Take ownership of your stance now that its gotten this deep. Or was this all for clout?
Kimmminem West I think you’re right but if she called out certain people, her tweet would be less vague and more specific about what she is trying to discuss. However I know there would be ramifications if people were called out like cole, kendrick etc
This is a dumbass take, if she named names people like you would be saying “she only named j coles name for clout” if anything her not naming names proves it wasn’t for clout. Also I hate when people say shit is for clout such a dumb way to dismiss an argument, talk about what she’s actually saying
Bro..... Noname started it..... plain & simple.....
And EVENTUALLY, (not now), we will have to address this "let me criticize you without a rebuttal" complex that queens like noname have......
I just listened and read the lyrics to j Cole song. Why people saying he dissed her??
He dissed himself for real!!
Cap. He called her out the same way she did him. Every action calls for a reaction. She fucked up by not calling his name out directly.
Kimmminem West then what did he say that was attacking her ? Cause it’s clear as day he didn’t
When Rory and Parks has to translate how black women feel to black men who aren't aware enough🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ stop always trying to defend men and recognize when they're wrong. Its sad how Rory and parks do a better job educating themselves on black issues. Joe and mal need to step the f up. And look at situations from OTHER povs. Not theirs.
Mal was like "oh I can see how blk women would be mad about that BUT- " nah bro. No Buts. Just listen! It's how THEY feel not you.
