Wolverine Publicity: Sort of averted. He does have a tendency to do lots of features, although not as often as someone like Future. He's worked with Drake, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, The Game (Rapper), Beyoncé, Kanye West, 21 Savage, Young Thug, Keri Hilson, Rihanna, Big Sean, Tyga and Rita Ora, amongst others. | |

Stop Being Stereotypical | |
| J. Cole (Music) / int_4dc88e20 | comment |
Stop Being Stereotypical: KOD in general can be taken as a satire / criticism of common rap tropes and their impact on the black community and its perception in popular culture. On "1985", he discusses this specifically in regard to the "new school" of 2010s rap, which he considers to be pandering to white people's stereotypes of black culture. | |

Unexpected Character: A few... His first album had Missy Elliott (who had been on a music hiatus), whilst his second had TLC, Amber Coffman, Mike Epps and Pastor Kearney Thomas, whilst if you bought the deluxe of that album you got a song which included a chorus (for no apparent reason) by 50 Cent. | |
