His career being over is obviously major exaggeration…he’ll eventually come back and drop an album and it’ll do fine, just won’t be what he had lined up before….he’ll never get that “oh shyt…J. Cole might just be the dopest nikka out, the Fall Off is gonna be incredible” feeling back that he had built up from those last couple years of wrecking features …

Album was originally finished a year and a half ago… Drake was finishing up touring and was literally about to disappear, recharge and go vacation…and Cole was 100% gonna release The Fall Off and have his MVP season last year…nikka let Kenny snatch all that from him and he’ll never get that era or that energy back

People forget that different things drive different artists.
J Cole is and has always been driven by his solid fan base. Unique spotify listeners is a flawed metric to assess how big an artist is, it usually works well but not in all cases. Having like timeless bangers that are on very many playlists are often what drives those. Thats why Flo Rida might have more than J Cole in his prime. But how many people are rushing to stream his new shyt. Or how big are his tours? He has like 20 singles that haven’t charted in the past decade.
Another thing with it is also how global those said hits are.
Ne-yo, another such guy. J Cole’s venues for his tours are like twice as hit and twice the price. But ne-yo has hits that stretch globally and to a wider group of people, therefore he’ll have more listeners on Spotify

This the only realistic answer.
Thinking Cole won’t have a strong fanbase to support his music and tours, once he drops again, is silly.
Other than his entire rap persona being that of a drug baron and crime boss…
Crazy how every point you made was wrong

Crazy thing is nobody in real life actually thinks Cole's career is over lmao also I already addressed it by saying I thought he would continue to drop music but he hasn't so. Only time will tell whenever he drops his album.
That’s literally supposed to be his final project. He’s been teasing it since I’ve been here and it still hasn’t come out yet I don’t think anything is worth that long of a waitAfter The Fall Off’s roll out and album release. I wouldn’t be surprised if homie semi retired. But Cole has a solid fan base that will keep him alive.
I'm pretty sure he said this himself that was pretty much the plan.
J Cole had a very weak catalog, specially compared to his peers...his reputation was 100% based on his features run...that wasn't sustainable.
Even in his prime, people were like "yeah ok that feature is good, but your solo catalog is weak".
His career was gonna be over no matter what, even if the next album is gook, that's still a weak catalog.

This.
And that’s supposed to be his final project...even if thats a 10/10 classic (he never showed any sign of that potential though), it's still not enough. You're not allowed to talk shyt when your discography is not good enough to support your talk.
This is true
