See.
There are a lot of artists out here that people like to shyt on who have ACTUALLY proven themselves:
Big Sean.
Drake.
Wale.
etc.
but...theres this ONE guy who ALWAYS manages to deliver that C+, middle of the bell-curve bullshytt, that you always love to amp up to be more than what it is.
That's J Cole.
See, even though his first album was trash. (I seriously liked "Sideline Story." Song was smooth) we mostly gave him a pass.
Not since Too Deep For The Intro have I seriously been impressed with dude. He's had a few songs here and there, but nothing that blew me away.
Now you bring up this album and we again are living on MORE PROMISES of:
...what J Cole COULD be.
What J Cole...MIGHT be.
What J Cole...HAS THE POTENTIAL to do...
BUT...at some point you gotta judge a nikka by WHAT HE HAS DONE AND CONTINUES TO DO.
J Cole's entire discography is promoted by fans who always want to reject the mainstream but want THEIR guy to win.
Thats fine. And I'd love for him TO win. But he disappoints me ALL. THE. TIME.
If it wasn't for the Jay-Z cosign, J Cole would be rapping for "likes" on 2DopeBoyz or something with the rest of his actual peers (talent wise).
He's not built for this stuff. Other artists can do HIM better than HE can.
Its about time ya'll take a long and hard look at why ya'll are willing to go to bat for this guy after proven and consistent failures.
I like "let nas down"...I think.
