Fire Squad

About Fire Squad

J. Cole attempts to restore the balance in hip hop as he criticizes white privilege and white appropriation of the culture—namely, Macklemore’s The Heist winning the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album over Kendrick Lamar’s "good kid m.A.A.d city", Drake’s "Nothing was the Same", Kanye West’s "Yeezus", and "Magna Carta… Holy Grail" by JAY-Z. He also touches on Iggy Azalea’s confounding popularity. At this point in the arc of 2014 Forest Hills Drive, Cole is on the come up, flexing his pen game and asserting his dominance. .
