Theme & Lyrics ✍

“Man, it wasn’t nothin’ like the first time / She was in my math class / Long hair, brown skin, with a fat ass.” On 🎵 “Wet Dreamz,” a highlight from 💿 2014 Forest Hills Drive, 🎙 J. Cole bluntly depicts his sexual awakening. As the title suggests, his awakening includes those pubescent occurrences known as wet dreams (nocturnal emissions, if you want to be technical). Beyond those dreams, Cole raps about losing his virginity, and he does not spare details.

“I’m thinkin’ how she rides on it

If she sits on it, if she licks on it

Make it hard for me to stand up.”

Like teen boys worldwide, J. Cole is horny AF. Honestly, there are few men, once they begin their sexual maturation, who at some point, do not think with their other head.  Anyways, while he pretends he is experienced in order to impress his crush, ultimately, he is a clueless virgin.

“Wet dreamin’, thinkin’ that I’m smashin’, but I’m sleepin’

I want it bad, and I ain’t never been obsessed before

She wrote a note that said, ‘you ever had sex before?’

Damn…

And I ain’t never did this before, no…”

How does an inexperienced J. Cole educate himself on sex? Pornography, fueled by sexual fantasies. There are better avenues, obviously, but you would be hard pressed to find a teen boy who did not indulge in smut at some point – facts!

Final Thoughts 💭 

Ah, songs about wet dreams are always intriguing. J. Cole delivers one of the best, perfectly capturing an adolescent, pubescent sexual experience.  Rap tackles sex frequently, but Cole take a much different avenue which makes 🎵 “Wet Dreamz” a truly surprising banger.
