J. Cole
Jermaine Lamarr Cole (nacido el 28 de enero de 1985) es un rapero y productor discográfico estadounidense. Nacido en una base militar en Alemania y criado en Fayetteville, Carolina del Norte, Cole se hizo conocido como rapero tras el lanzamiento de su mixtape debut, The Come Up, a principios de 2007. Con la intención de continuar su carrera musical, firmó con Roc Nation de Jay-Z en 2009 y lanzó dos mixtapes adicionales: The Warm Up (2009) y Friday Night Lights (2010), que recibieron aún más elogios de la crítica y ampliaron su audiencia.
Todos los álbumes de estudio de Cole han alcanzado la cima del Billboard 200 de EE. UU., comenzando con su debut, Cole World: The Sideline Story (2011), y su sucesor, Born Sinner (2013). Ambos fueron aclamados por la crítica y dieron origen a los sencillos "Work Out", "Power Trip" (con Miguel) y "Crooked Smile" (con TLC), que figuraron en el top 40 del Billboard Hot 100. A pesar del éxito comercial, Cole se alejó del sonido pop de sus álbumes para centrarse en temas más concienzudos en sus proyectos posteriores. Los temas de nostalgia, desigualdad racial y materialismo fueron explorados respectivamente en sus siguientes lanzamientos: 2014 Forest Hills Drive (2014), 4 Your Eyez Only (2016) y KOD (2018). 4 Your Eyez Only produjo su mayor éxito comercial, vendiendo aproximadamente 500,000 unidades equivalentes a álbumes en su primera semana, mientras que el último presentó un récord de seis éxitos simultáneos en el top 20 del Billboard Hot 100, la primera vez que un acto musical logró esta hazaña desde la banda de rock inglesa The Beatles en 1964. Su sexto álbum, The Off-Season (2021), tuvo un éxito continuo y generó el sencillo "My Life" (con 21 Savage y Morray), que alcanzó el número dos en la lista Billboard Hot 100. Su éxito en las listas fue equiparable a su participación como artista invitado en el sencillo de 2023 "All My Life" de Lil Durk, y le sucedió su primera canción en alcanzar la cima de la lista, "First Person Shooter" de Drake, ese mismo año. El primero también le valió a Cole un premio Grammy a la Mejor Interpretación de Rap Melódico.Autodidacta en el piano, Cole también se desempeña como productor a lo largo de su carrera discográfica, habiéndose encargado principalmente de la producción de sus propios proyectos, con créditos en material para otros artistas, como Kendrick Lamar, Janet Jackson, Young Thug, Wale y Mac Miller, entre otros. Las empresas paralelas de Cole incluyen su sello discográfico Dreamville Records, así como la empresa de medios y organización sin fines de lucro que lleva su nombre. El sello, que ha firmado con artistas como JID, Ari Lennox, Bas y EarthGang, ha publicado cuatro álbumes recopilatorios; el tercero, Revenge of the Dreamers III (2019), debutó en la cima del Billboard 200 y fue nominado a Mejor Álbum de Rap en la 62.ª edición de los Premios Grammy. En enero de 2015, Cole comenzó a alojar a madres solteras sin pagar alquiler en la casa de su infancia en Fayetteville.Cole ha ganado dos premios Grammy de diecisiete nominaciones, un premio Billboard al Mejor Álbum de Rap, tres premios Soul Train Music y ocho premios BET Hip Hop. Todos sus álbumes, incluido Revenge of the Dreamers III, han recibido certificaciones de platino de la Asociación de la Industria Discográfica de Estados Unidos (RIAA).Vida temprana

Recibió críticas positivas y encabezó la lista Billboard 200 de Estados Unidos, vendiendo 282.000 unidades equivalentes a álbumes en su primera semana, lo que le valió a Cole su sexto álbum número uno consecutivo en el país. Cuatro canciones de The Off-Season debutaron entre los diez primeros del Billboard Hot 100 de Estados Unidos: "My Life" (en el puesto 2), "Amari" (en el 5), "Pride Is the Devil" (en el 7) y "95 South" (en el 8). "Interlude" Debutó en el número ocho la semana anterior, lo que le dio al álbum cinco sencillos entre los diez primeros.El 21 de septiembre de 2021, J. Cole lanzó un freestyle titulado "Heaven's EP", que remezclaba el ritmo de "Pipe Down" de Certified Lover Boy de Drake. El 31 de marzo de 2022, la canción apareció posteriormente en el recopilatorio de Dreamville, D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape, con Cole también participando en las canciones "Stick" y "Freedom of Speech".El 6 de octubre de 2023, se lanzó el álbum de Drake, For All The Dogs; en él, J. Cole participó en el sencillo "First Person Shooter", que debutaría en el número uno del Billboard Hot 100, convirtiéndose en su primera canción en encabezar la lista.El 5 de abril de 2024, Cole lanzó el mixtape Might Delete Later tras dar pistas sobre el proyecto en una serie de vlogs publicados en el canal de YouTube homónimo. En la canción "7 Minute Drill", J. Cole respondió a Kendrick Lamar en respuesta a su canción "Like That" con Future & Metro Boomin, en la que Lamar rapea "Motherfuck the big three, nigga, it's just big me", lo que a su vez era una respuesta a "First Person Shooter", en la que Cole rapea "Love when they discut the hardest MC / Is it K-Dot (Lamar) is it Aubrey (Drake) or me / We the big three like we began a league", en medio de la disputa entre Drake y Kendrick Lamar. Dos días después del lanzamiento del álbum, Cole se disculpó por la canción en el Festival Dreamville, y posteriormente fue eliminada de las plataformas de streaming.El 17 de noviembre de 2024, Cole anunció la serie limitada de podcasts Inevitable, presentada por el propio Cole junto con su mánager de toda la vida, Ibrahim Hamad, y su colaborador habitual, Scott Lazer.

Reacciones a "False Profetas"
Los raperos violan a otros raperos todo el tiempo —injurio subliminal, ataque directo— pero rara vez de un lugar de amor. "Eso habla al estado de nosotros como pueblo", dijo. "Durante tanto tiempo mi estado mental fue, tengo que mostrar lo mucho mejor que el siguiente hombre que estoy a través de estos bares. ¿Quién es el mejor? Déjame probarlo. Y es como, maldita sea, me estoy alimentando de un ciclo de mantener a los negros abajo, realmente me estoy alimentando de eso.

Muchos asumieron que su tuit estaba dirigido a Cole y Kendrick Lamar, quienes aún no habían publicado en redes sociales sobre las protestas en el momento de su tuit. El 16 de junio de 2020, Cole lanzó una canción titulada "Snow on tha Bluff" dirigida a una mujer anónima, que se supone que es Noname, al mismo tiempo que tocaba la brutalidad policial y las relaciones raciales durante las protestas de George Floyd. Poco después del lanzamiento de la canción, Noname tuiteó "QUEEN TONE!!!!!!", haciendo referencia a una letra de la canción. Más tarde eliminó el tuit. Muchos otros artistas defendieron a Noname, incluido Ari Lennox, quien tiene contrato con el sello Dreamville de Cole. Lennox agradeció a Noname "por importarte [un carajo] por nosotros constante e interminablemente", diciendo que aprecia "todo lo que [Noname] publicas en el mundo". El rapero Chance the Rapper criticó a Cole, calificando la canción de "poco constructiva" y diciendo que "socava todo el trabajo que Noname ha hecho". Cole finalmente abordó las reacciones negativas en una serie de tuits, defendiendo sus declaraciones en la canción y animando a los oyentes a seguir a Noname en las redes sociales. Dos días después del lanzamiento de "Snow on tha Bluff", Noname lanzó "Song 33", en la que aludió a Cole escribiendo sobre ella a raíz de las protestas, rapeando: "Supongo que ahora me duele el ego / Es hora de ir a trabajar, wow, míralo irse / ¿De verdad va a escribir sobre mí cuando el mundo está en humo? ¿Cuando hay gente en los árboles? ¿Cuando George rogaba por su madre diciendo que no podía respirar?" "¿Pensó escribir sobre mí?". Cole reconoció la canción poco después de su lanzamiento, compartiendo un enlace en Twitter. Cole y Noname colaboraron previamente en 2015 en la canción "Warm Enough" del álbum Surf de Donnie Trumpet y The Social Experiment."Los negros pobres de todo el país están poniendo sus cuerpos en la línea en protesta por nuestra seguridad colectiva y todos los raperos favoritos que venden ni siquiera dispuestos a poner un tweet arriba. las discografías enteras de niggas son sobre la situación negra y no se encuentran donde encontrar".
