I fukk with Cole.

I like introspective shyt, so his music appeals to me and clearly a lot of people.

Dude is intelligent, married to a black woman, makes authentic, pro-black music without dumbing shyt down. He's obviously a bit of a loner, boring, etc. But he's probably the first one to say so.

If after all this years you're STILL asking who's buying his albums.. you're a GRADE A dummy.. sold out MSG in minutes and idiots talking bu bu bu he aint turned up like 21 garbage smh...

Cole BEEN the truth ya'll just watching history...

B b bu but the clubs make the stars. :heh:

These weak azz mumbling "rappers" can't sell out anything more than a hole in the wall club and can't sell more than 10k the first week, but Cole outdone them all, and going on, 7 years in a row. :salute:

Say what you want about Cole, but he's doing what Scarface always said he did back in the day. His following is growing with him. It's not about hit records, it's about bringing in more people with good quality music each project. Not being hot for the moment and then disappearing.

It's dope to see that kind of loyalty for an artist that actually takes pride in what they're releasing. He's built that audience up over the past few years in a way that's been mad organic. Definitely gotta respect that. That ain't easy.

He's like the San Antonio spurs, boring but full of greatness.
