J. Cole - 2014 Forest Hills Drive (Discussion Thread) *Stream*

Supporting this off the strength that while alot of these rap nikkas be tweeting and crying about Robin Williams, Joan Rivers, Cole was out there in Ferguson and dropped a tribute to Mike Brown. He also gets my support that he's a talented NC breh doing his thing.

Real shyt

That's cause he has no image, no story, he's not a Tyler or a Kanye, he's just a regular dude who can rap, so rappers like him and Logic just end up rapping about the same shyt all the time. Their fake struggle, how underrated they are, etc...

I always thought his story was moving to NYC to go to college, tryna get a deal, yada yada. That shii resonates with me (or should/can resonate with any other dude in school). I moved across the state to ATL and didnt know anyone up here, from a very small town also, i got my own goals . Im not tryna get a deal but i can relate to that entire journey.


Then he talks about whatever else he went through. Im curious to hear who yall would put over J. Cole

Blu kalled - homie wants his swag baak

on the real tho .. this just seems like a bad biz move only coz cole really moved up a lvl AFTER THE LAST ALBUM .. GRAMMY .. A SMASH HIT ..good sales numbers

seems backwards .. he has a hardcore following and fan base but this won't help advance that or his career ..

bad mgmt ... and obviously proves once again cole closer to Nas from a artist standpoint then jay

It's maintenance ...afterall if you never fully blow or crossover... you can't fall off drastically...

You can coast on your laurels/core fan base and blow up later or not....

Who knows? Let's just wiat until the album drops

 

[Piff Perkins]

where's the single?

 

[thaKEAF]

Copping because 1. it takes a lot to do something like this when big singles are what have pushed his first two albums 2. he showed up to ferguson and made a track when a lot of rappers in his same position aint even say shyt yet alone show up

 

[Larry]

where's the single?

not releasing one

probably wont release any of the music until we hear it in its completion

 

[InstantKlassik]

it also had hella throwaways too

home for the holidays, love me not, cost me a lot, best friend, the autograph, etc.

the whole 2nd half was forgettable to me. born sinner was way stronger to me

Go back and listen to Cost Me A lot again breh, I had been ignoring it for years but now it's one of my fav Cole tracks

"This shyt right here, this shyt right here Nigguh"
