- Thread starter DATMAN$

Is your blind hate basically blinds you from the stupidity of your posts right now? Soooo, lemme get this straight. The album was virtually NOT promoted, announced from a TWEET three weeks prior to its release, has zero singles, AND it is his contractually last album FOR THAT LABEL..... and Columbia & Roc Nation went to each individual Target, Wal Mart, Best Buy and so on and purchased 361K worth of physical copies at the cash register so it can be able to be read at SOUNDSCAN. You DO know that's how it works, right. And we won't even mention the stream downloads.
But if the LABEL "bought" these records, they must really CARE about their artist that they losing after that particular album. Over any other artist that they currently have.... A losing artist is THAT much important to them.
Oh wait, Cole's tour money is going to pay Columbia back.
You really sounding like a total idiot right now. It's fine if YOU don't like J. Cole. You are entitled for that personal opinion, but you seriously have to stop and give credit where credit is due and stop embarrassing yourself over the FACT that once again, J. Cole has proven to be one of the top MC's of his peers right now.

It wouldn't count for Soundscan. That's with RIAA and billboard where you can do that. That's technically what Jay-Z did for this last album, actually and the controversy of going platinum PRIOR to any physical sales.

Only time a dr are artist was built off of disrespecting the cautionary tale that rap is about.
or, used to be about.
was on death row, which was forgiven culturally after failing originally on the first aftermath release.
other than Mecca damning period,....
dre's music has always been built on the cautionary tale aspect.
learn your history,.....
no dre artist other than dre and snoop.
were about damning the Mecca and gangsta rap's cautionary tale.
snoop, been apologized for his acts, as well.
so,what are you saying,.....
plus, of you bring up dee Barnes,...
he faced legal for that's and the end results was the probation era splash party on YO!.

I can tell you nikkaz really don't know what's going on.
especially, since the industry started using the slug template to sell records after the ye boom copied the slug emo movement/draw.
you, nikkaz really need to get a clue.
some of y'all could learn something from the doors movie.
when, they encounter record labels backstage.
you, nikkaz are so out of touch with what goes on, it is hilarious.

In the words of GZA... "Tommy ain't my muthafucckin' Boy".
Nor nobody is saying labels DON'T buy records to boost hype. But you DO have to use common sense as to why. J. Cole is LEAVING the label. This was his last album to release him out of his contract. So, again, WHY the hell Columbia would go through lengths trying to buy records for an album that's barely promoted and recently announced?
It would made more sense had it been Born Sinner when he was in direct competition against Kanye, or vice versa sine it was a matter of a few thousand apart WHICH is logical for a label to shell out. But for a LOSING artist that just basically DUMPED an album out the blue? Name another label that has done that for an artist that's leaving them? It's sad that people are willing to go through lengths trying to discredit someone just because THEY aren't a fan of them. J. Cole had a loyal fanbase and it keeps on growing, mainly because he actually do things for his fans which most artists don't do. Even Columbia had doubts since Sideline Story about him selling, so why NOW they're going to do more for THIS rapper than any other artist on their label?
