Black Album did 3.5 mil with no features

no he didn't bruh

Kanye was on lucifer, pharrell change clothes, nikka had his mama on there too
Plus lupe wrote that thang anyway

I'm saying lol

Watch the same ones who trashed other artists for going platinum with streaming praise this

"but but streaming doesn't count"

smedium Sean at like 350k without streams

He did that much because of radio play. rocnation has a good contract with radio stations so he gets insane play on there (just like rihanna). wet dreamz got played multiple times the hour for months and it didn't even really do numbers on the charts like that (peak was 61 on hot 100 and 12 on urban). radio play isn't guaranteed sales, but it helps sell albums in the long run when sales usually start to slow down.

it's funny because j.cole fans act like he's an unsigned underground artists when he got a huge push from the label to go platinum.

it also helps that he directly appeals to young college aged black women, which is the most loyal fanbase of all.

he isn't a bad dude and his music is decent, but people overrate him because of his sales. when people are going to look back at this era, it's going to be Drake and Kendrick who will be remembered as the greats, J.Cole will be a footnote.

I doubt it. People were hyping Cole way before he went plat. nikka said people overrate him cause of sales, Na u way wrong, Kendrick got over rated due to sales, it was a lightening in a bottle situation. He won't sell that we'll ever again. Still a good artist tho.

Nobody acts as if Cole is unsigned, Kendrick fans did more when he went plat, made 10000 threads saying he bypassed Cole and that " real hip hop" was selling again and all type of stupid shyt.

Cole didn't need drake on a track to push his shyt, Kendrick has a solo song on drake album and drake was on his single.

no he didn't bruh

Social media: where the stupid want to show the world just how stupid they really are:



Why do weirdos not count "worldwide sales" when speaking on album sales??



and to all the weirdos who actually co signed that The Black Album had features.....

....Lets look at Blueprint 2s tracklisting:

Now lets look at The Black album tracklisting

It's not like dude evolves much or anything.

His music is consistently safe production-wise.

I don't even like Cole but he's shytting on ignorance one sale at a time.

No gay trolling,no c00ning, no selling out.

Meanwhile the rap game full of nikkaz that made a deal with the Devil for chump change.....

Hopefully he branches out and finds people to help him pick or make better beats. He's gotta stop looking homeless too.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

I don't understand how he did it but I love it. Dude is the only relevant rapper that actually cares about his art and fans.

 

[Professor Polo]

I need some new Cole.... dude got me starving

 

[10bandz]

I don't understand how he did it but I love it. Dude is the only relevant rapper that actually cares about his art and fans.

he's had a lot of female fans from the jump that probably helped his sale success

I think his balance of male to female fan ratio is better than any relevant rapper out there. I honestly can't say he has more of 1 than the other which is an anomaly, especially since most of his material isn't geared towards the club or love songs.

 

[Hejdå]

cool stuff

Cole my guy but y'all have to stop cysing this "no features" stuff

You think Drake and Jay z need features to go plat?

Well they have a bigger name recognition than him, that counts for a lot I think.
