he's making rappers who get all these crazy, high priced features looks silly. esp when he outsells them all combined. i also appreciate brehs way of releasing albums. i aint feelin a 3 to 4 month rollout.

I think it's in large part of he wants complete control, in the past he was less and less happy of features on his album. Also, the way BOTH of his first two albums leaked well ahead of it's release, despite both going number one on the billboards.... have something to do why he does these kind of releases now.

Was saying this to someone I know earlier, I love how he just dissapears completely, then announces an album out the blue with a release date that’s a week away with no built up hype, drops it, sells a shyt ton then just disappears again unless he’s on tour, no fukkery...just releases his music, and that’s it.

I remember a real long time ago before his 1st album dropped when asked about Jay-Z, he stated he appreciate that he was someone that rarely ever use social media, and doesn't try to be all out there, and create an aura about himself to where each album feels like a special event and its what he want to mold himself to be. Out of all things that Jay-Z mentored J. Cole about is how to roll out.
