After being widely criticized on Twitter for some ill-informed statements about capitalism, Noname admitted that she took it as a teachable moment and challenged herself to read as much as possible from then on. If the song is in fact about Noname (yesterday, Cole took to Twitter to say he would not specify who the person is), it leaves out the fact that her development into a trusted source of information on social media and IRL has happened very publicly, and very recently.

But what is lost here is that by framing her this way, Cole is evading personal responsibility. He also proposes that instead of talking down to people who aren’t as informed, that you should instead treat them like children and hold their hand while they figure shit out. To add color to his argument, Cole assumes that this woman, unlike him, comes from a home environment that groomed her to be aware of structural racism, preparing her to combat it - so of course she would be more advanced. Cole believes that he may be one of the people this unnamed person is talking about, but his gripe isn’t that he disagrees with anything this young lady who is “way smarter than me” has to say - it’s the tone with which she tweets that he takes issue with. Niggas whole discographies be about black plight and they no where to be found.' In May, she tweeted (which is now deleted): 'Poor black folks all over the country are putting their bodies on the line in protest for our collective safety and y’all favorite top selling rappers not even willing to put a tweet up. When she isn’t sharing that information, like most others, Noname gives her opinions on pressing topics, which have most recently been revolving around the deaths Black people at the hands of white police officers.

The presumed inspiration for him coming forward is Noname’s twitter activity, which, for some time now, has been almost exclusively dedicated to offering resources to people that are interested in learning about revolutionary movements, the layers of Black identity, and everything in between. Cole’s newest track “Snow On Tha Bluff.” The song, which came out Tuesday night, is an interestingly timed confession from the North Carolina native who, on it, says that despite being propped up as a superstar conscious rapper with a college degree, his level of intelligence is really just average. The most recent Twitter storm in the hip-hop corner of the internet is a result of J.
