Another Artist

Another artist I look up to is J. Cole. I’ve known about him since about 2007. His music, lyrics, everything is the truth. He sings about things that can relate to everyone in some way. He has a song

named “Lost Ones.” It basically is a conversation between a man and a girl. The girl is pregnant, and the man wants an abortion. The girl talks about how she will raise it herself, speaking about how he isn’t a real man. It is a powerful song because he brings on both points of view to Abortion, which is a very common topic in the U.S. In another song, named “Crooked Smile” he talks about how women try so hard to find a man. He talks about how girls are insecure because of the guys they try to fall in love with. He’s saying that girls will do anything, wear fake hair, nails, tan to attract the right guy. He also says that the right guy will love them and call them beautiful without them needing to dress up and try so hard. He says that you can have a crooked smile and still follow your dreams. Looks aren’t everything and that the person you are inside defines you. That is why I love J. Cole because he isn’t like every other artist. He doesn’t sing about drinking, smoking, and sex.
