Rapper J. Cole Makes #middlechild Trend on Twitter

According to Genius.com, “Cole envisions himself in the center of the old and new generations of hip-hop, making him the ‘Middle Child’ of rap.” The lyrics couldn’t be any clearer:
“I'm dead in the middle of two generations
I'm little bro and big bro all at once.”
I don’t know, maybe it’s a good thing. The track is Cole’s biggest hit yet. It dropped on January 23, and by the week of February 9, it had already reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and #2 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. And the highly anticipated music video just dropped on Feb. 25, sparking a whole new #middlechild surge.
So maybe I should be thanking Cole -- make him an honorary Middle Child or something. I mean, borrowed Middle Child buzz is better than no Middle Child buzz at all, right? But on the other hand-- can’t we even have our own hashtag!? We have to share that, too? #sounfair.
Since J. Cole took our tag, I figured it was fair to rip off his rap for my “Middle Child” parody.
