New Song: J. Cole – ‘Grew Up Fast’

As artists achieve success in the industry their egos grow and that problem is often augmented with rappers. Unfortunately, it appears that the once humble J. Cole has also joined that league of the hypermasculine Hip-Hop acts as she unleashed the self-gratifying ‘Grew Up Fast’ to celebrate his two million followers on Twitter.

J. Cole will launch his ‘Campus Consciousness Spring 2012/The Sideline Story Tour’ with Big K.R.I.T. in April. Hopefully, his tour bus will include an extra room for his ego and newly cocky attitude.

Listen to ‘Grew Up Fast’ below:

Somewhere between J. Cole boasting about the size of a girl’s backside and his metrosexual peers before “halfway homo”/”bitch asses” I completely lost interest in the song. Yes, Hip-Hop is all about ego and expressing dominance but what made J. Cole so interesting was that he wasn’t another cliche. I wonder if he realised that all of his insults easily describe Kanye West.
