Indeed, he is very meticolous about his sound and lyrics:
Gonna listen to this next right after this tune, cant' pause the fugees for this fool.
Thing with J.Cole is that, I really do rate him, but it's just that he's never impressed me the same way Wale or Lupe (bar set waaay to high here) or even B.O.B aka Bobby Ray. You might giggle at B.o.B but man is impressive when he really lays it down
Sure he gets outdone by Lupe but who doesn't
I absolutely LOVED j.Cole's 3 first mixtape! LOVED! LOVED! LOVED THEM! Huge fan of 'em! But after that he's just been meh imo. He's no crazy lyricist doesn't have any unique melody's/beat/style, he's basically the marchisio of rapper's imo. He's solid, but he's doesn't have much that he can call his own. J.Cole's very comparable to Wale imo, and Wale even though hasn't tasted the same amount of success as J, he's got a style of his own, he's got something that is really his and makes him stand out from the rest of the rappers. He's lyrically wittier and sharper than J.Cole.
Listening to the that knock on wood freestyle, he's recycling Common's flow, actually he;'s doing pretty solid. Still though.
Just finished listening to it.
Now listen to this right after
There's more than levels of difference between the two. The sharpness in his lyrics, the flow, the wit, delivery, everything! Shit's a classic for a reason! Cole better be careful when spitting on these tracks like "Get by" from Kweli or this one.

Check mos' verse, i think it's the third, relistening now. Now THAT'S a fucking verse!!! That's a lyricist a goddamn poet!!
One of my all time fav verses.
Yes, I am the inescapable, the irresistable,
The unnegotiable, the unchallenged [who dat?]
I am time
I scroll in measurements, control the elements,
I hold the evidence, I tell the story [say what?]
I am time
I know no prejudice, I bare no sentiments
For wealth or settlement, I move forward [who you?]
I am time
You can't recover me, conceal or smuggle me,
Retreat or run from me, crawl up or under me,
You can't do much for me besides serve
Me well and have good dividends returned to you
Or attempt to kill me off and have me murder you
Many have wasted me but now they are facing me,
Treated me unfaithfully and now endure me painfully
Plaintively, I wait to see what history will shape to be,
Who's hearts will never die inside the sake of me
Angel's scribe the page for me,
Keep a full account of all the names for me
And make a special mark for Hurricane who (?) patiently
