lil wayne raps about constantly partying and getting as many girls as he wants. To me he is never really serious in his lyrics he's very provacative and just open he raps about whatever comes to mind. I dont think he really thinks about what he says its more about what sells for him than the meaning of his music thats why i think his music is more maintsream media.
J.cole is one of the best rappers out at least in my opinion.His songs can relate to anybody i have been listening to him for about a year now and almost every song he has came out with i can sit down and say wow that sounds like something i have gone through. his music is meaningful and you can tell that he has put alot of thought into his lyrics and he isnt careless about it. Thats why i think his music his counterculture.
The similarities between j.cole and lil wayne are there both rappers and it seems they both have the same ambition as being big in the music industry and being someone well known. The difference between them are i feel like there goals and how there going to reach them are very different j.cole is trying to send a message with his lyrics were lil wayne just does this for fun.
