She mentions girls going missing, George Floyd, and trans murders, and the silence of Black men. Noname clapped back with the single “Song 33.” In her response track, she basically blasts Cole, saying she hurt his ego. There were enough opinions to fill a 200-page book with many felt like Cole’s timing was wrong. The divisiveness in the community, and how we can better protect and educate each other. The release of this single sparked widespread debates on Twitter – where fan bases thrive and even bully – about the relationship between black men and black women. We’re all between a rock and a hard place. The premise of J.Cole’s song was that he hears both the criticism and the praise, yet he still knows what he has brought to the movement pales in comparison to what he’s capable of doing. I’m not sure if it was the lyrics or the gravity of the situation in totality, but it brought a tear to even my eye.
I must say the production on Snow On The Bluff and the song, in general, are just beautiful.

J.Cole “Snow On The Bluff” Produced by J.Cole & Wu10 | YouTube Audio Stream There’s some merit in the fact that the song may be about her. Cole took it upon himself to step up to the plate with his single “Snow On The Bluff.” It wasn’t initially sure that the track was about Noname until I realized she actually does have a Book Club. She has also been publicly vocal about rappers not being present and involved in the recent protest surrounding the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many more. Well, Twitter caught fire when Grammy-nominated rapper J.Cole, and woman rapper and activist from Chicago Noname went back and forth on the platform.Īside from her lyrical rap talent, Noname is known for her role as an activist for Black lives as well as the rights of the LBGTQ+ community. While some celebrities were early to speak out and have stayed vocal, like Ice Cube, others have made donations and statements and carried on. People are not satisfied with celebrities speaking out, but many of them open their purses to fund positive movements and other grassroots movements. There has been a big push from Twitter users urging more celebrities to speak out against police brutality and racism. As we all know, music is one of the best delivery methods for information. Many organizations have released statements in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Times might have changed and some things have gotten better, but only the system is still oppressive. Unity seems like the obvious answer, but emotions are running high born out of the frustration of nothing ever-changing. So many issues have come to the forefront all under the umbrella of systemic racism. Between being shut-in due to COVID-19 and worldwide protests for George Floyd/Black Lives Matter. Maybe a diss?… Life has been at a standstill for so many Americans.
