Album sales don't equal popularity. This is not the 90's

And dropping the same day as Kanye

The only way you're selling records today and you're not Jay-Z, Eminem, CACLEMORE, Drake* or Lil Wayne* is dropping the same day as one of them or creating singles that have an R&B SIMP nikka overtone

Its that simple.. Kendrick will only go gold next album if he doesn't swallow his pride for that DRAKE feature


Rap game is drying up brehs

Not just white girls, but women in general like cole....that equals sales

I also don't know how old y'all are, but after spending a week with my nephew this summer, it's evident that the high school demographic fukks with cole hardbody, them little middle of the lane (which are most kids) dudes love cole

That nikkas music just speaks to your soul .

He is easily the most relatable rapper for nikkas not trying to front about being hard and fronting about their feelings and shyt.

One more thing.

That he's boring shyt is something that is said in here by these lames that just want to be in on the joke.

It's a lot of group think and sheepish mentality that goes here.

You would think it would be the opposite.

It just proves most here are anti social introverts who want to be apart of something or feel like they're cool.

Honestly, what these clowns dont realize, is the more they try to shiit on J. Cole... the more his fanbase is going to support him and his music.... keep hating fakkits, he'll be gold again

Cole gotta get away from roc nation. Jay is about those hits, not the music. I dont think cole is made to feel comfortable on his imprint, he needs to be on interscope or some shyt. Game is allowed to drop underperforming albums again and again, I'm pretty sure cole could get some sort of freedom there to make the music he's capable of without the sales pressure
Cole essentially said he was given the freedom to do whatever he wanted to do with this album. His hit songs like POwer Trip are some of the best cuts on the album its his stagnant production at times that is the problem and his own stubborn behavior. Timbaland talked about Cole not wanting any help really. The only thing Jay did on this album was to tell him to make Power Trip the single when Cole was about to go left field with it. Cole has that same problem I have where your own stubborn pride is both your worst and greatest trait. He has the tools to make a classic album, but whether or not he'll field ideas and sounds and critiques from people to make it happen remains to be seen. That's why I'm hard on him because I feel like an emcee has a certain window where they can make that type of record.
