"Might Later," the latest mixtape from J. Cole, feels like that moment when you accidentally send a Snapchat to your ex or a friend, a message you never intended to share but ended up sending anyway. Credit must be given to J. Cole in one aspect: he confidently presents "Might Later" with savage ideas and gritty southern hip-hop beats. However, beneath the surface, "Might Later" disappoints, offering a weak and underwhelming collection of ideas accompanied by some of the most obnoxious and boastful lyrics I've encountered from an artist past his prime. Perhaps this mixtape caters to die-hard fans, but their fervor is beginning to resemble the zealousness of Kanye West fans.
