J Cole Won

[Cadillac]

So we gon ignore the line of singles that helped him get here

Like singles with Trey, Elliot, Beyonce etc tons of other Female hook R&B songs to get a good female fanbase

TLC too.

That leafy J Cole essence is almost as powerful as Interscopis Duckworthius.

say what y'all want about Rocky and Lil B, but they came into the game on their own terms. I listen to innovators, not toe-the-line plants.

it's like what you just said it's about marketing.

That and The singles look what it has done for Ken in his career due to those singles in late 2012 early 2013

And Cole for his career.

fukk look at Sean now nikka is platinum to thanks to those bangin singles.

People need to with that "people want real music" narrative. When it has nothing to do wit that. Is it a factor? Yes. The major factor/reason? No

J cole got cacs, and women who think he looks good so they will do anything he says. The only competition he should really have is Drake who has the same advantage, at least Drake makes exciting music though

 

[mr.africa]

listen here, mr africa, logic sucks. aight? aight.

that was my point.
the fool sucks and gets no radio play and yet sold over 100 000.
how sway???
average ability + white skin color sway!!

usually you are one of the cool posters on the coli,but i'll never expect to get objectivity from you when it comes to j.cole.
i'm sure you've already told everybody how blu should've been where cole is at right now!!!



sorry bout your man blu for not making it!!!

 

[HiiiPower]

what you mean???
logic is touring all over europe to sold out shows and his last album sold over a 100 000 (don't remember exact numbers) first week,
while established acts like ross were flopping harder than a fish out of water
and all of that without a song on the radio
and please don't tell me his skin color had nothing to do with it.

For the most part I was joking lol I actually thought his last album was kinda dope

Nikkas who fall asleep to J Cole must have the attention span of a 5 year old.

A thugger fun hating J Cole, hmmmmmm


yep it supports my claim

 

[Killigraphy]

He won and I'm a huge fan but mixtape Cole >> album Cole.

Analyzing his 3 albums alone, one would never think that he was on Drake and Kendricks level.

These "ColeSons" are worst than Stans.

 

[Nobodyknows]

i hate cole like i love cooked food. alot.

Why? You've got a hatred obsession towards him and I've yet to understand why. The hate exceeds Napoleon's stanning for Drake

And you're not even being reasonable with the hate, you're being straight up immature with it like 13 year olds used to on YT towards Lil Wayne

What has J Cole taught these rappers? That being genuine goes much farther than any could get you. I'm not even a Cole fan, but I have to respect him. He sold 1 million in an era where that's near impossible. He even went farther than Plantworth, and that's saying something, seeing as how the critics TOLD you to like TPAB, whereas THE PEOPLE just enjoyed Forest Hills. He's got a good fanbase. Outsold Drake's two latest releases as well, wonder if Views will do those kind of numbers

The question is, do you think these other rappers could do the same? Young Thug? If he switched his MO and started just talking about real life and not bullshyt (huge thug fan but let's be honest here). Rick Ross? We all know how he sold.

I just can't help but wonder if the lower-tier, copycat rappers had made some genuine music instead of making "trap" and going triple dust bunny, then maybe they would have sold better/had better fanbases.

Look at Kevin Gates. He makes trap, but he mixes in enough lyricism and honesty to make him a compelling character to the public. People LOVE him and his fanbase is only growing. If he keeps it up he could be Cole-level.

What people don't realize is there is a HUGE market for this, these labels are sleep. People want what they call "real hip hop" even if it isn't really REAL HIP HOP. They want someone they can connect to, and getting a cult level fanbase is the way to survive these days.
