Chance the Rapper, another Chicago local rapper many know, has been especially vocal in defense of Noname pointing out the context of the situation. Cole - 'Snow On Tha Bluff'Niggas be thinkin Im deep, intelligent, fooled by my college degree My IQ is average, theres a young lady out there, she way smarter than me I scrolled through her timeline in these wild times. Many have come out in support of Noname, feeling that this stance isn’t a great look considering all that is going on. Cole or Kendrick Lamar, who has also been mentioned, but many are connecting the dots between this tweet and what Cole released on the track. 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. That’s one of the only conclusions that can be drawn from his decision to slickly address Noname on Snow on tha Bluff, a surprise track he released on June 17. The tweet has since been deleted, but many are still reposting it. Many believe this was incited by a tweet by Noname about famous rappers not willing to put a tweet up in support of Black Lives Matter. Others feel this is gaslighting valid criticisms by Noname. He asks for rappers and thinkers like Noname to help educate rather than criticize. The entirety of the lyrics of the track are already up on Genius, which you can read here, but they go on to suggest that many black folks in America are unable to keep up intellectually because of the racial education disparity on display in America on a daily basis. Cole decided to release a song that he must have meant as a salve for this contentious moment. She mad at the celebrities, lowkey I be thinkin’ she talkin’ ’bout me

She mad at these crackers, she mad at these capitalists, mad at these murder police The entire song centers around an unnamed “young lady” who Cole throughout the track says he feels personally attacked by. Many feel that some lyrics in the track were shots at Chicago-based rapper Noname, and that they came off as misogynistic, particularly troubling in the current time of civil unrest. Cole dropped a new record called “Snow on tha Bluff” that sparked a lot of conversation on the internet in recent days.
