Kanye West Vs J.Cole..

J. Cole - "I'm just a man of the people, not above but equal"


Kanye West - "I am God"

Props to Cole. He deserves his success. Thought his album was a solid 4 mics. Very enjoyable listening experience...


As for Kanye I believe that the knee-jerk reports of his supposed "downfall" are greatly exaggerated. ONLY Kanye West could drop an album with NO video, VERY LITTLE ADVERTISEMENT (Those building projections and his performance on SNL were pretty much it) and a lead single called "Black Skinheads" and still manage 300k first week. I see that as a "Glass half-full" scenario than a half-empty one. Remember the hype and build up for MBDTF? The G.O.O.D Friday leaks? The Runaway video? Power getting HEAVY radio rotation? Kanye's career will be just fine....

LMAO at Kanye doing G.O.O.D. Friday leaks with the trash from this album. That nikka wouldn't have sold this much had people known the type of album he was gonna make...

So you expect an album that came out last month to compete with something that came out a year ago and has been played on BOTH hip-hop and rock stations? Honestly a family friendly catchy song will always do better than a one genre type song.

By your logic Kendrick is shytting on cacs that root for cacklemore

 

[bangbreh]

not even 9 months breh, ease up.
and kendrick had more co-signs than any other new artist i can think of in a LONG time.
this dude had serious push.
i can't think of one co-sign that macklemore got, especially w/his "pro" fakkit song.
he earned it, selling out shows worldwide.
is kendrick gonna sell out staples in 15 mins ?
macklemore sold out the key arena in 15 mins today did it a couple years back @ bumbershoot too w/the quickness.
his tours go hard, his fans go ham.

w/the co-signs kendrick got i'd expect him to shyt on EVERYBODY.
kendrick's dope so don't get me wrong

 

[Free White & 21]

Soooo.. Releasing polarizing song/video of a song called New Slaves on buildings criticizing rich white folks, racism, and cumming in rich white bytches mouths

THEN

Going on SNL to perform said song along with another one called Black Skinhead Is the same as months of buildup with a real radio single, and a real video for said radio single??

Just stop it nikkas.

Did the album have promo, yes. Was it the right type of promo to maximize album sales? fukk NO. Was it the kind of album that shoulda went gold out the gate, fukk NO

I'm convinced nikkas is overdosing on the yeezus hate at this point. Just about everything nikkas hated on this album for, MBDTF has similar if not more "fukkery" musically and marketing wise

say bruh-are you of color ?

 

[Sugafoot]

Kim K killed this guys career

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Stop defending that crap kanye put out, nikka did a heel turn on his fans. If he wants to make music for him, then don't release that shyt to the public. I got 6-7 tracks that I've made for jokes that crack me and my friends the fukk URL I ain't trying to sell that shyt to no one tho


Cole tho

 

[Votti]

:nikkawhat: whats it got to do with than?

it has to do with what people are actually buying.

When your favorite artist sells or when somebody successful you don't like fails to sell enough it's "thank god real hip-hop is back". Please. Your favorite rapper isn't realer than anybody else's. When did quality lose subjectiveness?

By the way, stop gassing GKMC. It's an album of equal quality to a ton of underground rappers you never heard of, but with the Interscope machine behind it so sales made people feel like it was ok to proclaim it a masterpiece. It's not.

Please educate me. What are these albums? Who are these rappers?
