Meanwhile, J.Cole

[Wild self]

amazing how far dude came...i thought he wouldnt make when i first heard him and then drake came out and blew past him....now cole somehow caught up....inspiring

Plus Cole writes his own shyt and don't have to resort to making uninspired southern party music.

i don't like his music but i'm pleased for him..it's absolutely baffling, but pleased for him none the less.

i knew of Cole since i checked out his freestyle over a Dipset joint on 2dopeboyz around he time he put his first mixtape out, before he signed to Jay and i never thought he'd get this big...his music is the equivalent of crackers and a glass of tap water but his connection to his fanbase is stronger than any other of the new gen.

he'd probably be Supastition/Ken Starr status if not for being signed to Jay and Drake needing "competition"

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. reformed hoes love this nikkas shyt

*fixed.

 

[Broad Street Bully]

When he coming to philly doe?

J. Cole

Everytime I see a story about him for the last year or so, it's always for something positive....

Dude is proof that you can be yourself, make the music you want and still win...

 

[ItzDaKiing]

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.

nikka you ain't listened to born sinner or forest hills drive ??!!? Wtf

[Wiles]

J Cole absolutely sucks.

 

[Ineedmoney504]

I went to his FHD concert early in the small venues. He had it at the house of blues and it was a great concert.

How much $ can an artist like Cole expect to see from a sold out msg?

 

[GoldenGlove]

I had the opposite experience, i saw him live and it made me love the album and understand it even more with the long ass interludes between songs

I think that the music is so basic, that there's really no need for any further explanation. It drug on, and he could have performed more songs instead of giving us 3 minutes of dialog explaining why he wrote Role Modelz. Specifically stuff from Born Sinner and his Yours Truly series.

I was surprised by his success a few years ago. Not anymore. Glad I got to see him in concert several times before he blew up

Sean's set was more lit, but that's because he has better songs/verses for concerts.

@ Cole performing Wet Dreams, Work Out and Crooked Smile in the same concert

Sean won

How much $ can an artist like Cole expect to see from a sold out msg?

anywhere from a 100k to 200k after everybody paid put but before taxes.

it would be higher but rap shows are terrible to finance you wind up paying three times the insurance you do for other genre of music .

 

[Sauce Dab]

Doesn't he have a 360 deal?

Yeah breh you know Hov has to eat too
