Some folks like Chance The Rapper and Earl Sweatshirt don't like the tone J. Cole took with NoName on his new track "Snow On Tha Bluff."
NoName had subliminally criticized "N*ggas whole discographies be about Black plight" but who hadn't stepped up big in the aftermath of George Floyd. Everyone believed she was talking about Cole and Kendrick Lamar.
Cole gave his response to the Chicago rapper with these bars.
"N*ggas be thinking I’m deep / Intelligent fooled by college degree / My IQ is average / There’s a young lady out there she way smarter than me / I scrolled through her timeline in these wild times and I started to read / She mad at these crackers, she mad at these capitalists, mad at these murder police / She mad my n*ggas, she mad at our ignorance, she wear her heart on her sleeve / She mad at the celebrities, low key I’m assuming she talking 'bout me, / Now I ain't no dummy to think I'm above criticism / So when I see something that's valid, I listen / But sh*t, it' something about the queen tone that's bothering me."
Another Chicago rapper, Chance The Rapper, awarded Cole an L for propping up the patriarchy.
Yet another L for men masking patriarchy and gaslighting as contructive criticism.

They both my peoples but only one of them put out a whole song talking about how the other needs to reconsider their tone and attitude in order to save the world. It’s not constructive and undermines all the work Noname has done. It’s not BWs job to spoon feed us. We grown https://t.co/TjIrMyFzQd

"Yet another L for men masking patriarchy and gaslighting as contructive criticism," Chance typed on Twitter. "They both my peoples but only one of them put out a whole song talking about how the other needs to reconsider their tone and attitude in order to save the world.

Earl Sweatshirt went even further and called Cole corny.

Earl also pointed the finger at Cole's stans.
