I know a lot of N!ggas don't want to admit it but with these numbers it's time to talk about Cole being one of the BIGGEST rappers in the game. Ross ain't movin these units, Nicki ain't after this album. Waynes numbers will drop as well as Drake's. Cole fanbase keeps increasing. It's funny, dudes talk about his production or that he's "Boring" or puts people to "Sleep" but people were clearly wide awake when that album dropped. LOL @ rappers having 1,000 featuers and 1,000 producers. This dude does all his own beats and has zero to a few features and outsells a majority of the rap game and even music game. These are some of the biggest numbers of the year not just Hip Hop. Cole Won, Jay Won for taking a chance on the kid.

I won't debate this argument...but you know what?

Something is probably wrong with me or my standards are just different.

I didn't hate the album, and while its Cole's best album...its still a J Cole album meaning the replay value is just kinda lacking and ultimately as great as the commercial success of the album seems to be, the content doesn't live up to those same accolades and PURELY from an entertainment standpoint, I don't see this as such a strong piece of work.

Entertainment value matters. Because the "message" always comes second. If people don't want to LISTEN to it, the it doesn't matter.

Cole won in the sense that people went out and bought his album...but how much will they play that album in several months from now?

You could argue that he hasn't captured the second part of this equation...making shyt people who aren't fans will come to love.

Cole fans are generally people who want "conscious music" but accept Cole as the sole arbiter of that in the mainstream when he's really not as good as those he's trying to fulfill who once filled his lane. His mediocrity won't be favorable to him in the annals of history.

Don't let the sales fool you. Theres still a quality issue people aren't willing to address here.

Cole walked the right path and got a blessing. While that devil Nicki suffered for being wicked. Always follow ur heart over money, you'll always be rewarded. Cole said he didn't care about the sale's and was out in the protest and the ppl held him down.
