Meanwhile, J.Cole

[Vonte3000]

Just saying, lets not act like he doesn't have the machine behind. Have you seen the promo run they put behind his debut and sophomore album?

They even had Jay Electronica doing Mountain Dew commercials.

I've literally never seen J. Cole on television

Also, since when is promotion from the label you're signed to a bad thing?

Its crazy how good J.Cole is doing. I fukked with him heavy during his WarmUp, Friday Night Lights and Cole World years, but kinda fell off his music. I'm gonna give last two studio albums a listen.

DO IT. I went back through them today.

Born Sinner had them hits

Not sure what to tell you...on his debut they would run his 30 minute special/promo 2 or 3 times a day, 3 or 4 times a week on the MTV.

oh word, it was the mountain dew commercials that made me a fan of Cole, and not his music

Speaking of which.....

We should be getting the TPAB world tour when Kendrick is done doing his festival circuit, right ?

Cant front I didnt think Cole would get this big. Sure he can the machine behind him but who knew the machine would even give a fukk about him to the point he'd be Top 3 mainstream with Kendrick and Drake. His come up is pretty nice even tho i don't bump him much. bytches love this nikkas shyt

Lets look at the top 100 on Billboard and lets argue all of them are on there off pure talent.

And they had Jay Electronica on Mountain Dew commercials, what's the chances Jay Electronica would be on Mountain Dew commercials if he was signed to Just Blaze or Puffy.

 

[10bandz]

if Jay Elec was signed to Puffy he'd probably be bigger than he is now and would've dropped already. Puff was ready to all in on Jay....nikka was looking for another spitter like BIG for a minute....i think Puff would've promoted the fukk out of him

You know it takes skill/hard-work to be signed by Jay-Z and get that platform, right? You acting like he was handed everything.

Jay Electronica has never dropped anything worth discussing.. he has no cross over appeal and he's from London

Never said he was, I'm talking about the Machine.

Who is the last artist on Puffy's label that went gold or sold out MSG?

Puffy has not sold out MSG since '98.

 

[Ghpstface]

1. He was dropped classic songs that got more praise than nikkas full albums
2. He isn't from London, dumbass
