   J. Cole — Mr. Nice Watch (Feat. Jay-Z)

   This is yet another, self-produced banger by J. Cole featuring his mentor and boss, Jay-Z. I definitely fuck with this beat, HEAVY, but this is yet another example of Cole compromising the content of his songs in order to sell himself to a desired, BASIC mainstream following. I am mainly disappointed with this song because it is clear that he is attempting to stunt on an “Otis” level, although he has not even released his first album.

   Bottom line is that he should focus on making timeless classics, as oppose to radio hits. He is mimicking Watch the Throne’s sound, when he should be striving for Reasonable Doubt’s excellence. He should go listen to “Dumb It Down” and try again.

   And as far as Cole x Hov collabos are concerned: “A Star Is Born” > “Mr. Nice Watch”
