J. Cole earned more than Drake and Nicki Minaj in 2015.

i will be stronger

the whole package is a talent.

Mike was more talented than prince even though prince could play a million instruments.

Mike could write songs, dance and sing his ass off


All rappers have are their lyrics, if you can't even write your own shyt then


The Rap game is headed in the "boy band" direction if the package and image is all that matters.

nikkas that got to go to work tomorrow at a place they hate talking about wealth and laughing at that publishing check like they wouldn't cry tears of joy for that to be in their mailbox for ANYTHING this social media shyt really got yall fukked up....

 

[Kilgore Trout]

So he's got a loyal fanbase which continues to increase. Why is that a bad thing? If he's keeping it out of the pop lane that's a good thing.
People don't post about J Cole much on the coli. He is still talked about on other boards, he also doesn't get caught up in shyt publicity.

Nobody is checking for Cole outside his fans. He's gonna eat good for a while but doesent belong in these discussions or comparisons. He's not up there with Drake and em and never will be. That's all I'm saying.

You don't know that though. He could completely change his path to be on a wider mainstream scale. He may not, but he's still going to be an A list celebrity

A list hip hop celeb; b-c list overall

Yeah, this is music earnings lol

Obviously not taking outside ventures into account, from Jordan/Nike deals to Sprite endorsements

So yeah don't misconstrue what this means lol. Cole makes more off music that most.. Damn near everyone according to Forbes.. But he's not making more money collectively. But nobody expects him to..

Jay takin care of his artists.

He has a niche market. Like Dangelo in 2016.

hes not pop culture.... outside of his hardcore fans nobody is checking for cole. So we dont need any threads about him.

Yanni still has millions of fans but we dont need threads about him.


p.s. i liked the warm up.....

i have nothing aginst j cole.... he's just kinda boring for my tastes.

None of this is true. I haven't even met a person who hated on Cole in real life. Most people I come across fukk wit dude. And the sheer volume of what he sells proves he doesn't have a "niche" market. nikka is the 2nd highest selling newcomer in rap. It's one thing for nikkas to say they don't like Cole. But another thing to be completely delusional and project ur feelings on other people as fact. It doesn't reflect reality.

Nobody hates cole we just dont listen to or talk about him.

I don't like Drake or Minaj but stop counting other peoples money.

Speak for urself. Everything u said in this thread so far seems fueled by hate and not reality.
