That would be dumb on 5 to 7 different levels.вЂќ вЂњIf Cole has a problem with Noname there is no way in the whole wide world that heвЂ™s dumb enough to send bars at her. Others to speak up included Open Mike Eagle. Kari Faux tweeted, вЂњSo you try policing her tone in a song?вЂќ Jean Grae continued that sentiment, вЂњYou may already know me as someone who has no patience, no filter and especially does not respond to anyone policing my tone, message or actions so you know how I feel.вЂќ Her tweet included a GIF of a stick figure kicking another off of a platform. вЂњShe mad at celebrities, low-key I be thinkinвЂ™ she talking вЂ™bout me/ Now I ainвЂ™t no dummy to think IвЂ™m above criticism/ So when I see something thatвЂ™s valid, I listen/ But sh*t, itвЂ™s something about the queenвЂ™s tone thatвЂ™s bothering me.вЂќ That last line has come under intense scrutiny with many calling out Cole for challenging NonameвЂ™s approach when he has kept silent on the current issues. Cole talks about revisiting NonameвЂ™s social media pages and goes as far to call out her anger. вЂI went to college, i donвЂ™t know stuff,вЂ™ and heвЂ™s a lot of n*ggas elected representative.вЂќДuring вЂњSnow On Tha Bluff,вЂќ J. it would b like on one of the nights following big floyds death if a white rapper (one that ppl like) made a 'im uneducated on ur plight' track it just taste bad lolД®arl even mentioned Cole and his fans directly, tweeting, вЂњWhat if yaвЂ™ll are mad at yourselves that you look to Cole for more than he has to give? Bro just laid his cards down on the table. Lol before i get grouped in to anything let me state that first truth of many is that the shit was just corny. Cole hinting at NonameвЂ™s critique of his silence on social justice issues with an entire song. I canвЂ™t feel any other way about it.вЂќД®arl Sweatshirt was also quick to respond on social media to weigh in on J. IвЂ™m not tearing anyone down, I just think it was wrong to make a song about her. We grownвЂ¦вЂќ Chance continued, вЂњWe can have different points of views on things. ItвЂ™s not constructive and undermines all the work Noname has done.

Yet another L for men masking patriarchy and gaslighting as contructive criticism.Д¬hance The Rapper continued, вЂњThey 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. ColeвЂ™s statement, Chance The Rapper voiced his displeasure via Twitter. N*ggas whole discographies be about Black plight and they no where to be found.вЂќДЇollowing the release of вЂњSnow On Tha BluffвЂќ and J. вЂњPoor Black folks all over the country are putting their bodies on the line in protest for our collective safety and yвЂ™all favorite top selling rappers not even willing to put a tweet up.

NonameвЂ™s initial criticism, written back in May, didnвЂ™t mention anybody specifically by name. вЂњWe may not agree with each other but we gotta be gentle with each other,вЂќ he concluded. And I appreciate her and others like her because they challenge my beliefs and I feel that in these times thatвЂ™s important. I havenвЂ™t done a lot of reading and I donвЂ™t feel well equipped as a leader in these times. What he said next surprised his fans and critics alike. She has done and is doing the reading and listening and the learning on the path that she truly believes is the correct one for our people. I love and honor her as a leader in these times. I accept all conversation and criticism but let me use this moment to say this. ThatвЂ™s fine with me, itвЂ™s not my job to tell anybody what to think or feel about the work. J.Cole continued, вЂњSome assume to know who the song is about. I accept all conversation and criticisms. Some assume to know who the song is about. I stand behind every word of the song that dropped last night. Cole took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the song and the music worldвЂ™s reaction to it.
