Yeah, in what universe was "Can't Get Enough" not a hit? It was one of the biggest rap radio records around for about a year, huge spins.

He did the same thing with Miguel on the single Power Trip. Its almost as if he got the feature at a discounted rate or something :dwillhuh:

He doesnt seem to to give a fukk about his features, the only one he ever cared about was Missy.

He's trying to make dope music not capitalize of his features.

he likes to have full creative control... the features are just there to add a little extra to the track, they are supposed to be background to him... he's not flo-rida who just spits over whatever the label gives him

^ wouldnt that be a part of making dope music?
Which part are you referring to? The one about giving a fukk or capitalizing?
I assume you mean giving a fukk and to clarify I mean as in he will not give Miguel more "singing time" than he needs for the song to be as dope as possible (in his mind) just to say.. chart higher. If you look at J. Cole, musically he's not getting a lot of help and that's how he's keeping things.

im not saying he should bow down to the featured artist by any means. its like why even use them tho if your not going to utilize them. its almost like hes doin it just so when you read the song title you get hype.

I believe he did have a video for "hit it in the morning". It was low budget as hell though.

The thing Power Trip and Can't Get Enough were solo records


J. Cole sang the hooks on those originally, Miguel and Trey came after the fact and laid their vocals over his. They were never intended to be on the songs to begin with.

Cole one of the few nikkas writing and producing his records entirely. No teams, straight solo.
