nikkas are too obsessed with popularity these days, who gives a fukk if Drake and Kendrick are considered the two most popular, in the late 90's it was a Jay and DMX, yet when it came to talking about skills Nas was a lot of the time put above them because people realized there was a difference between who was the most popular and who was the most skilled. J Cole doesn't need the attention Drake has, if he continues to make better music, which he has in his last release, then thats all that should matter to us as Rap fans, who cares if we don't hear his songs on the radio everyday or see him on the tv everyday or on the social media sites, is Nas on the radio everyday, is he on the TV everyday? Its only in the last 3 years in his 20 year+ career that we have truly seen him active, he has always been an insular type of person, same thing with Rakim, but people still hold these two as two of the greatest mcs of all time, nikkas move like bytches, trying to judge nikkas personalities and shyt, expecting everyone to be a clown like Kanye West!


so you're pretty much saying you like nas and rakim and you dont like jay, dmx, kanye west so you decide to group j.cole with your favorite group of rappers bc of popularity.....

j.coles album is mediumcore to the fullest and lacked any major shine.

so because he's not as popular as Drake and KDot, he's irrelevant? The fukk is wrong with some of y'all logic? How many rappers actually went gold this year. In less than 2 months at that.
he's clearly more popular then kendrick

:camby:the fukk is this wack ass thread. two dope albums filled with real conversation. not everyone is a pop sensation these days, but selling 600 plus on two straight albums is damn good in 2013.

She Knows about to impact radio. I personally think this should've been the second single after Power Trip.

Has that feel for a decent radio run. nikka far from irrelevant.

As long as he keeps going Gold with top 40 singles than i'm sure Cole is happy with being "irrelevant." And I fully expect his third album to be his best and the one that puts him on another level as long as he releases that right single.
