"Blogs change that artwork please. 'This the real one baby'" _J.Cole

♬J.Cole, "Who Dat"

As a North Carolina native, I'm pretty much ready to ride for J. Cole like the DMV does Wale. But it's not because he's from my backyard, or because that's my school on his hat. Nope. It's because J. Cole is disproving the stereotype about southern rappers (and southern music lovers) one metaphor at a time. And unlike a lot of artists that come out of the south, J. Cole didn't move to Atlanta on some fad ish and claim that like he's been there all his life. He simply reps "The Ville". (SN: Shoutout to my roommate @FredReid who also reps Fayetteville vehemently.) I appreciate that.
