but can he do it with a mixtape 
2014 Forest Hills Drive is officially PLATINUM
- Thread starter BlackManLiveFromLondon
- Start date
but can he do it with a mixtape
Mixtapes are for artists trying to get on. Once you platinum, you can't give your shyt out for free anymore.
Platinum album in 2015 >> platinum mixtape.
True that, I think if you wanna strike up a discussion about Rap with women Kendrick, Drake and J. Cole are safe bets.
@ Cole going platinum.
Wale is easily second place among women
And down here most women think Cole is insightful but don't really fukk with his music
As @BarNone said he was the soundtrack for nikkas trying to make it through college when the warm up came out. No other rapper had ever tapped into that niche the way he did

I dont really post but I wanna say something before I go MIA again.Why cant people give props without shading other rappers? Congrats to Cole! This rap shyt is so diverse right now, as it should be. It something for everybody. Even tho im not a fan of all of them.. Its room for Cole, Meek, Ye, Macklemore, Kendrick, Nicki, Migos, Drake, Yo Gotti Logic, Wale, Future, Rich Gang, Wiz Mac Miller, Ace Hood, Gambino and I can go on. According to the coli rap should just be all positive music? Its a lane for everybody right now. Everybodys eating. You can make good music and still flop. Its all about the approach. Drake, Cole and Kendrick are exceptions wit goin platinum. About the streets thing...Its corny how people on the internet always try to shyt on the streets. Yall do know the streets is not just the hood, right? 
The streets is motherfcukas you see playing loud music in the car, clubs, phones. ipods. You go anywhere outside and you hear people playing certain songs and albums. The streets fukking with Drake 10 Bands heavy right now. That Meek Monster joint, Fabs shyt and a lot ofter shyt. People doing shows because of mixtapes It seems to me thecoli (and other forums)stereotyping the streets as ignorant Blacks 
.The streets make the shyt hot first then the top 40 crowd jumps on it (no shade). But i'll let yall continue to cook cus I dont wanna debate this and go back and forth

im sure that was true in the past but im not so sure anymore. seems like artists being forced on us not the other way round of us forcing artists on the mainstream.I dont really post but I wanna say something before I go MIA again.Why cant people give props without shading other rappers?

Oh yeah that always been a thing. What I meant by that is most artists need the streets to get hot. How many rappers you know that got on without the streets support? Let me correct that, the majority of rappers need the streets to get on...
