This week on “I’ve Been Meaning to Listen to That”, we listen to “2014 Forest Hills Drive” with special guest Sorcerer!
Key Topics:
- Does J Cole deserve to be in the Big 3 conversation as one of the GOATs of hip-hop, or is he the Jordan Peterson of rap?
- How does J Cole fare as a competitor in the sport of rap? Can you be the best when you take yourself in and out of the sport so frequently?
- We compare the song “Wet Dreamz” to the Netflix series “Big Mouth”, and discuss how this is the best version of an “after-school special” rap in contrast to kids learning from the likes of Andrew Tate.
- Is “2014 Forest Hills Drive” a classic?
- Plus, Andrew does a ad read for the “J Cole Meal” at Burger King!
