If J. Cole really does the projected numbers, he's officially a rap superstar

You're not a superstar until your tour do massive numbers or you headline Summer Jam/other festivals.


He's not in that top bracket yet and I doubt he ever will be.

He's certainly B grade. He, Ross and Nicki in that bracket.

But unlike the others... he hasn't really been influential for the game.

:whoa:

Nicki is a WAY bigger star than J Cole, even if her last album tanked left field, she's bigger than music.

But nikkas is right, J Cole is never gonna be a A1 star cause while he's fundamentally good at what he does, he don't have a star personality..pretty much the Tim Duncan of the rap game.

He doesn't have those type of performance songs to be a huge rap superstar

J Cole is not a Superstar in any form of the word....superstars transcend the music.... nobody gives a fukk about J Cole in any capacity other than rap.

Wayne,TI,Jay,Ludacris,50,Kanye,Snoop and possibly Em are the only superstars in hip hop.

J Cole is just a rapper, nothing more.

I mean, we talking superstar like get a gig on American idol, 25 endorsements, and blogs constantly slobbing you? Or like heavyweight rapper? Nas is a superstar rapper IMO but he don't have the general public looking at or for him, cole is on his way to being that level for these new nikkas, I don't think he'll ever be pop star superstar status, but that doesn't take away from his clout within the realm he cares about and makes music for.

Same nikkas been spraining hamstrings running to downplay Cole since SOHH with no effect:skip: Same nikkas with the corny "This'll help me go to sleep tonight" post in every thread about dude, yet he comes out and sells more than Lil Panasonic, Yung Mitsubishi or whoever the "buzzing" nikka of the moment y'all stan is. :dead:

:salute:
