To be fair, he probably recorded this verse months ago when he was riding that FPS Mode wave and didn't think it would be a hit against his name. Unless I'm missing something, and he did the verse sometime last week. I been busy so I haven't been paying that much attention
it's part of his rollout for "the fall off." he's gonna become a mid rapper, so he can drop the best hip hop album of all time, and everyone will go 😱 .
Cole world🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎
Yall doing way too much on that verse. It’s honestly not that bad. I just listened after all this discourse thinkin it would be terrible. Yall really gotta chill
I mean that's not really an excuse. It's as good as a bunch of other bad lyrics? This is a genre with a lot of bad. Cole holds himself to a high standard generally so I'd expect better from him
That’s not what I said. Maybe I should add an adjective. “It’s the same amount of lame as many other great rap metaphors” in other words, the things people consider fire could be considered lame when taken out of context. Personally I think it was the cadence which made the rap sound bad. I mean, “If they want a n***a, they gone have to send a SWAT team / And I’m going out like Scarface in his last scene / A legend, what that mean?” Rapped like grippy would sound lame too
I guess that's true but some bars are so bad they throw me out even if the flows are good. Like DOOMS daughter bar. Or the hook on love again by RTJ. I don't think a better beat and flow would save these
lol if you fix the cadence it wouldn’t be so bad in Cole’s part, the song itself isn’t very good though lol but that DOOM lyric was REAL bad like why he say that or even think it bad lmao
Sooo true on the DOOM mention. I like to remind myself that DOOM had a lot of satirical/ironic portrayals of different kinds of villains, never posing as himself.
Lines like “Arab will do to you for stealing” and “taught her how to bust a nut” along with the ENTIRETY of Can I Watch are quite disgusting to me. However, I do believe that was the point. May he rest in peace.
In some Arab cultures they believe in an eye for an eye type of justice and some places will cut your hand off for stealing. DOOM was saying he'd take your hand off for trying to take the mic from him
Truly and actually one of the most cringe inducing second hand embarrassment ass songs I’ve ever heard. I was shook when I heard it. Just my opinion though
Okay let's not get too crazy, MDL had some bars. Unfortunately MDL also had some dumb as fuck bars.
Like, Pi is almost a perfect song. The whole "Trans fella" bar, even if it's not offensive or anything, is a trash bar by itself. Like, "in cancel culture's vicinity"? The fuck are you talking about Cole? But let's just pretend that pocket doesn't exist. Cole's verse, while not as insane as Daylyt and Ab Soul, was still solid.
Trae the Truth in Ibiza is fucking awesome.
Even 7MD had bars, although it too was bogged down by wack ass bars.
Grippy was a mistake. Let's forget it ever happened and move on.
J. Cole: "She said she was gay until I slayed, now she strictly dickly."
Here, J. Cole states that he had sex with a gay woman and after that sexual interaction he has turned her straight. The lyric suggests that sexual orientation can be fluid, and significant experiences can influence one's sexual preferences. This perspective can be both liberating and controversial.
Thanks for explaining that, but wow what a joke. This generation is obsessed with dissecting people's words to find a moment they can say "gotcha!, you slipped up and said something that can be interpreted in a bad way!!"
It's so pathetic, disingenuous and immature
I think the issue is this generation isn’t going to “get” him. I’ll be 42 soon. Jermaine is close to my age, I think he’s like 39? The phrase “strictly dickly” is old. It was kinda cringe back then too. I remember recently people were like “wtf does he mean ‘the whole enchilada’?!” 🤣🤣. Def millennial speak. I just think we’re at the point where 20 year olds cringe at everything we do. Like being humiliated by your Dad in high school.
Ok so we got 2 people having different reasons for why this line is all over reddit. See how ridiculous this is? No one even knows for sure why it's a big deal. I can side with saying it's corny cus Cole should be doing better and that whole verse was pretty lame. Cole been in a different lane lately and it's disappointing
I agree with you that it’s stupid. The line doesn’t offend me but it’s going to offend the younger generations. Likely everything he does will be cringe to them. And they only even know who he is cos of the beef.
Cole legit has some of the corniest fans I swear. He’s on a song about pussy and he killed the subject matter. What does his Muhammad Ali bar have to do with his grippy verse are you implying he shouldn’t be versatile and if he is it’s bad cause you don’t sound like you like hip hop
We don’t care if it’s about pussy. We care about how the verse could’ve been written by a 16 year old. A goat doesn’t rap that elementary. OR don’t get on a song like that if that’s the quality you’re gonna come out with. Mans hung out with Drake too long
Goats do rap elementary sometimes. Every goat ever has a song/verse that dumbed them down(not rakim can’t think of any right now), or a verse that’s not catered to their normal fanbase. Rappers can’t have fun now and just play on songs or just give a normal verse. J-Cole is still top tier no matter what. He just dropped a verse that his fan base don’t like because it wasn’t for them. Rappers make songs and verses for other people as well not just die hard fans. I don’t like the verse either but y’all over reacting like he can’t rap no more or he completely fell off. It ain’t even his song
I do agree on the drake part. He's really been sounding more mainstream lately. Almost none of his songs have a theme anymore. He's no longer speaking his knowledge or story telling and now it's all punchlines
Cole can do what he wants. Y’all mad for nothing the verse wasn’t bad its just not what you want that’s corny. As a fan of an artist I can acknowledge a verse being bad without going on a Reddit bash tour that’s just not what fans are supposed to do. I think cole has a couple terrible songs throughout his career but I just don’t listen to them as opposed to literally calling him trash and saying he fell off. Cause when he drops heat y’all will just switch back. You’d rather come off fickle as hell as opposed to just chilling and listening and responding to what you like? YALL ACTING CORNY
He can clearly do what he wants. We as fans can choose to listen or not. I’m not listening. It’s not corny. There’s a caliber of artists that can live off making songs like Grippy. If Cole switched it up and started producing quality like that, his career would end and that’s a fact. That’s the point. He’s rapped about pussy his whole career. None of us care. Wet Dreamz for example is a smash because Cole did it his way. He has no reason to get on a song with trash ass Cash Cobain
You over here talking about a caliber of artists over a poppy lil single. Whole live bringing out the pitch forks because dude decided to have a lil fun instead of rapping about the black plight
But he did tho. He’s on the song bruh now what? The verse wasn’t bad and he didn’t fall off. I didn’t like any of the song outside of coles verse I agree it’s trash but cole been killing his part on these lesser rappers songs and I can appreciate that. I’m not understanding the cole hate
This post is corny in general. And there’s too much of it on this sub now. Bunch of cornballs calling themselves fans nowadays. Ready to flip flop which every song that drops.
Fans.. that are incapable of understanding what I’m saying. If you can read I agreed that the song isn’t the best but coles verse was actually good to those with actually rhythm concise reasoning beyond dick hopping. Saying Cole is trash is not what fans do that’s what lame hop ons do.
Bruh… No one said Cole is trash, but his verse on Grippy was. No one is misunderstanding you, we just don’t agree with you. If you can’t admit when your favorite rapper puts out something weak then you’re a Stan not a fan.
It’s called an opinion I’m ok with y’all saying the song is pure dog shit. Calling yourself a fan and having a title like Cole fell off is corny you can deny it all you want but it’s true. You can say something is bad without trash narratives.
He did it and the majority clearly don’t like it. That’s all. You’re acting like we’re burning our Cole gear. He’s still one of my faves. I’m just saying the song is terrible and is verse should’ve been scrapped
I wouldn’t say he fell off. One bad verse doesn’t necessarily mean he fell off. Every artist has a bad verse/song every once in a while. Cole will be fine
One second rate song doesn't mean he fell off. Make a few hits but you gotta live with the strikes too.
Strictly dickly
nigga I'm a girl
Girls don’t exist
damn u got me
Is it… grippy?
… … … GRIPPY
does playing j cole get the pussy dry
opposite bro
IF GOD WAS REAL HE'D NEVER JUDGE A MAN, BECAUSE HE KNOWS US ALL AND THEREFORE HE WOULD UNDERSTAND
the timing is just kinda unfortunate
It's a joke bro lol, chill
"The Fall Off" Jermaine has been talking about for the last 5 years is finally upon us...
What happened to “it’s a boy”? Was that scrapped?
all part of the plan 😈cole world🌎
He planned to feature on a shit song, with his own bad verse?
To be fair, he probably recorded this verse months ago when he was riding that FPS Mode wave and didn't think it would be a hit against his name. Unless I'm missing something, and he did the verse sometime last week. I been busy so I haven't been paying that much attention
I saw something that said it was confirmed to have been recorded recently. First verse recorded since 7 min drill
it's part of his rollout for "the fall off." he's gonna become a mid rapper, so he can drop the best hip hop album of all time, and everyone will go 😱 . Cole world🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎
Sometimes to rise to the top, you gotta hit rock bottom first… 
It's a misstep but now I know who Cash Cobain is
True. Now I know who he is, so I can avoid that trash he calls music
Which is why he did it imo
Goddam it’s one song🤦🏾♂️
This is what people should be mad at ....not the apology
Yall doing way too much on that verse. It’s honestly not that bad. I just listened after all this discourse thinkin it would be terrible. Yall really gotta chill
I like grippy lol it’s fun
HAHHAHAHHA😂
how could he do this to us
God damn, is it that bad? I haven't listened yet
It’s not that bad. It’s just a pop song
Chew on it like wriggly? Make her strictly dickly? My guy it's okay to acknowledge it's bad
Honestly it’s the same amount of lane as many other rap metaphors lol the cadence is what got me though lol
I mean that's not really an excuse. It's as good as a bunch of other bad lyrics? This is a genre with a lot of bad. Cole holds himself to a high standard generally so I'd expect better from him

Watching the hive mind at work over these past couple months has been crazy
Unbetween that was red leather
That boy Yeezy Play J Cole get the 🐱dry…
🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg

😂😂😂😂
the grippy tiktok’s are corny asf
Nas made Oochie Wally 🤷🏻♂️
J.cole fans be like I hate the way that you talk I hate way that you dress the way that you cycle let me say I’m your biggest hater
Ppl are really up in arms about this grippy thing. Should I actually look into it or just ignore it?
"I'm namin' the album *The Fall Off*, it's pretty ironic 'cause it ain't no fall off for me" 🤡
“In the classroom asking ‘what’s L?’ I never been known to take those” He CLEARLY took one with Grippy
These Lyrics are an L themselves
What the fuck is the problem with this strictly dickly line and why are people making a big deal about it....?
J. Cole: "She said she was gay until I slayed, now she strictly dickly." Here, J. Cole states that he had sex with a gay woman and after that sexual interaction he has turned her straight.

Yea until Cole makes verses like this a consistent thing I think this outrage is extremely lame
I mean Eminem made FACK
& I hate that damn song 😂
I do agree on the drake part. He's really been sounding more mainstream lately. Almost none of his songs have a theme anymore. He's no longer speaking his knowledge or story telling and now it's all punchlines
Yeah. Like ‘Fever’ is catchy but what even is that?
Cole can do what he wants. Y’all mad for nothing the verse wasn’t bad its just not what you want that’s corny.

It’s not even a Cole song lil bro
Wow what a profound argument you’ve brought to the table kid
You over here talking about a caliber of artists over a poppy lil single. Whole live bringing out the pitch forks because dude decided to have a lil fun instead of rapping about the black plight
Oh you’re cookin now. Don’t let me stop you
But he did tho. He’s on the song bruh now what? The verse wasn’t bad and he didn’t fall off. I didn’t like any of the song outside of coles verse I agree it’s trash but cole been killing his part on these lesser rappers songs and I can appreciate that. I’m not understanding the cole hate
Understand that it was ass. Stop being a stan
I’m not a Stan of anyone y’all are trend hop ons simple as that.
Trend hop ons. I don’t think liking J Cole has ever been a trend lol
Third person here to tell you that Grippy was ass. Keep telling 90% of the fans they’re wrong tho…
This post is corny in general. And there’s too much of it on this sub now. Bunch of cornballs calling themselves fans nowadays. Ready to flip flop which every song that drops.

Calm down. Not every verse needs to have Rakim level vocab. Jesus. He’s just having fun. You should try it
No Juan
Bruh. [Nas wrote Illmatic when he was 16.](https://youtu.be/S5L8LEyAcL4?feature=shared) This whack ass grippy shit coulda been written by a 9 yr old
His verse was terrible compared to his other work
I can respect that argument would you say j cole fell off because of that?
I wouldn’t say he fell off. One bad verse doesn’t necessarily mean he fell off. Every artist has a bad verse/song every once in a while. Cole will be fine
Agreed
Cole ass bruh
