Some good chill hip hop music. A little too many tracks about females, but overall he has good substance.

cole has done a show out here (well at the royal oak theater) after each album, keep in mind he goes through his mixtape catalog also. Shows have been packed breh, im assuming he'll be back out this way at some point to promote the new release

cole's style ain't meant for arenas, you'd lose him and his energy. A ~2000 person , 5000 max, concert hall so definitely the best fit for him....with an April-September slate of festival appearances
Cole gonna be Gold by the end of the year
Max 3 weeks.
Ross and Nicki are somewhere going
@ the humble mulatto dude with a homely image doing better than them, both CD sales and tour wise. Cole's success is an indication that garbage music is no longer tolerated.

Not yet.
It's a sign that theres a culture change coming soon. They need a new artist to come to complete the transformation.
Yeah, but OG Maco also dropped an EP that was pro-black shyt, on top of black artists and vets ganging up on Iggy, on top of Kendrick's new song. Slowly, but surely, change is going to come. 2015 will be very interesting as this pro-black movement gains momentum.

Nah, it has to be a big artist. A Drake caliber artist, that can come through and push the envelope.One that might not be a "conscious rapper" so to speak, but one that can control the mainstream and keep that as a layer of his music, while feeding the other demographic too.
