Y'all buggin.
Maybe I'm just a fan but aside from Aubrey and CuDi, I wanna hear some new shyt from Young Simba more than anyone else in the game. I'd rather he made us wait for shyt than spouted us with constant mediocrity like Meek.

Real shyt, this song was better than almost any song for the ladies J Cole did.
AND Diggy handed out massive ass whoopings on wax to J Cole. TWICE.

yes sir. that "thinkin bout you" joint is fresh as hell. and he did kind of merk j cole in the battle too. diggy just out here winnin man
To me, and I say this as someone that kinda fukks with Cole, that nikka was massively overrated before his first album dropped. I wont even touch the Nas comparisons, but in general he was regarded by many to be in the upper tier of new generation rappers and he hasn't really made good on those projections. I mean, let's look at the shyt objectively. He's not the pop sensation Drake is, he's not the lyricist Lamar is, he doesn't have the subject versatility or lyrical wit of Wale, he can't produce club records as consistently as Big Sean etc. He dropped his project and nikkas went 
.....fukk is this shyt for the most part. I think he and his camp made a conscious decision to fall back a bit and retool (something that sounds crazy considering the fact that he did legitimately big-time numbers for a new act), because I think they were probably disappointed in the overall reaction to his first project (there seemed to be an initial surge of support for the album quickly followed by people realizing that it had zero replay value), and they were probably concerned that another relatively lackluster release might permanently damage his brand.
Anyway, I think they're doing the right thing assuming my theory is correct. The most important thing for him to do is put out something that resonates with his fans and reinvigorates them with the feeling that most of them had when that Star is Born joint was released (when people thought that he really did have that spark of greatness.) And if he has to take his time doing it, thats fine too.

I sorta feel you here, though I wanna point out that most people were hyping him up because of how dope his mixtapes were. The Come up was meh, but The Warm Up and Friday Night Lights were
So people were hoping to get that kind of piff on his album, and were dissappointed.
I agree that the Nas comparisons were laughable, but his mixtapes were good enough to warrant some kind of buzz.
But like I said, I agree with you in the sense that, it's good for J Cole to really take his time and come out with a good album. He isn't done yet, but another mediocre album could mean the end.
Come to think of it, this applies to KRIT as well in a way. Return of 4 Eva had me
But his album was meh.He's probably in the studio daily working on his album. But i do think he should release more music and be featured on tracks more. The game is fickle and you gotta keep your name out there to be stay hot.

True. Don't forget vids as well. Lloyd Banks was just dropppin' mixtapes and no visuals and even he is ice cold now
