I am amazed how Cole manages to get by, by being so mediocre. Its incredible.

[AB Ziggy]

We're talking about "Power Trip" being a nod to the song "Dreams" . A mixtape song from 4 fukking years ago.

OK...lets say you're not on the music boards or have someone to tell you whats really going on and see that video.

Do you not wonder why Wale's "bad" is clearly doing better then?

I mean I get the "nod to your fans" gesture...but thats just stupid.

Kendrick ALMOST messed up Poetic Justice trying to do too much with the song theme but I don't get why nikkas try to be more artsy than the easy lay-ups they're given?

Whats wrong with sticking to the script?

Cause when you gamble, you often lose.

Cole. What are you doing man?

I want you to win. I really do. I mean you've failed to impress me a lot except for a handful of times, but you really need to stop rapping on your own beats, and you need to...rap better.

Just...be better.

Argument invalid because:

Born Sinner is gonna sell more than The Gifted
and TSS and Ambition have about the same numbers, cole a little more though

Wow, great analysis! Have you ever thought of becoming an A&R?

 

[lakinta]

damn op, such hate. did u have a failed rap career?

video was iight. at least it makes people have opinions. you playing into cole's hands.

 

[Dan Julio]

Cole isn't mediocre. He spits some of the deepest verses (Lost Ones, Return of Simba, Too Deep for the Intro) and makes hits (Power Trip, Can't Get Enough, Workout). OP is just another hater that's gon be bumping his shyt once Born Sinner goes gold. Power Trip already moving up the charts. We eatin out here

but seriously, stop calling cole deep. he spits some of the most basic crap with the most bland content out there.

Dude is boring.

I don't know. Wale is bigger now than he was when Ambition dropped and Cole I think has cooled down since TSS dropped. I think the numbers will be closer than last time. Either way, I'm checking for both, although I might have to listen to Cole's album before I spend on it. I'm certain based on Wale's track record that he's going to give us a dope joint, I'm pretty certain that Cole's going to deliver too, but memories of TSS is giving me a little trepidation with him.

 

[Barry Sanders]

without the jay-z cosign cole would be another mixtape rapper

 

[stealthbomber]

cole obviously is doing it right. if it upsets you why dont u rap, since u know what everyone wants to hear

 

[JuvenileHell]

J Cole is the epitome of basic.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

If cole is the epitome of basic, then wtf is lil Wayne, 2-chainz, Ross, gucci and the rest of them. nikkas love to hate cole, but it ain't many mainstream rappers rapping better than him

 

[360dagod]

j-cole is like a 1997 Ford Taurus

nikka please

and to answer the OP. it's cuz yall nikkas make the same threads about the same rappers 4-5 times a day and keep their names fresh in peoples heads. Hatin backwards pleighboi

 

[USSInsiders]

j-cole is like a 1997 Ford Taurus

Big Ghost Nahmean is corny as fukk now but at calling J Cole the PT Cruiser of rap... that's a perfect description

Just basic and completely swagless
