acting like danny brown doesn't have one of the best albums of the 2010s

I never met anybody in my life who listens to danny brown

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Biggest rap debut with no big single or hella promotion

 

[Not Crodie]

I never met anybody in my life who listens to danny brown

thats because he ain't mainstream, fukkboi.

Quality =/= popularity.

being considered the 3rd best mainstream rapper after Kendrick & Drake isn't a compliment considering the fact that drake & kendrick are the only good new rappers in the mainstream.

And that says more about the culture more than that would say anything about Cole.

But listen. fukk the critical acclaim. fukk the reviews. And fukk Metacritic. What matters is, what the people say. Our voice matters. And we say, Cole is right up there with Drake and Kendrick. The power is all in our hands, it always has been. The major labels have just confused us to think otherwise, and push artists on us that we were brainwashed into supporting. Drake can obviously connect with his music, and so can Kendrick. ESPECIALLY Kendrick, because a lot of us are people who weren't involved in the street shyt but know people who are about it and know people who are victims of it. Kendrick is the most interesting and flashy. And Drake probably has the most musical soundscapes. But Cole has the most heart and that's why you see people supporting him in droves the way they do. Even Coli posters here are buying multiple copies, and nikkas here are barely willing to pirate Nicki's shyt.

his music is trash that's why, it has nothing to do with him being underground. I listen to a lot of underground shyt btw.


you can't even find a thread in the last 20 pages about that nikka

u acting like he do

 

[Premeditated]

I'm sure even they doubted he could do it without a single.

not gonna lie, I was worried he might catch a brick because the album announcement came out of no where. I was high as fukk too thinking is this nikka serious right now? That's only a few weeks away with no singles. Both Cudi and Lupe had impressive numbers on there first albums, but the third not so much.

I'm the only person that i know who knows who Danny Brown is (No Coli)

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Never would I have thought that J Cole would double up sales on Nicki Minaj....

It's kind of a good day brehs. Might even fukk around and get a triple double.

 

[BrothaZay]

Its a great album

 

[Medio]

why can't nikkas just be like

'congrats'

they have to be like

'congrats but the album wasn't good'

lmao

 

[Don Mack]

I personally think the album is boring but I'm glad he's doing good

 

[AJtheOne]

"This makes THRICE now, I doubled what you expected"

Your covers keep perplexin' me
Maybe it's too complex for me
But is this 'bout skills or is this 'bout sales?
Cause either fukkin' way, man all them nikkas is less to me
