In the realm of contemporary hip hop, few artists can claim the same level of impact and influence as J. Cole.

Obviously, the discovery of the light bulb is a great technological advancement, a discovery which Prometheus wanted nothing more than to share with the world. As case in point, “We can give our brothers a new light, cleaner and brighter, than any they have ever known” (60).
