I have a bad feeling we'll look back at Cole's career as a big missed opportunity and question whether he was truly even capable of making dope shyt. Not hating, and I hope to god I'm wrong...but I'm seeing a lot of red flags brehs...

1. He's arrogant as fukk: Every rapper is arrogant sure, but Cole doesn't seem to listen to nobody. He got validated when Work Out became a hit, but most of the other singles on that album were trash. Plus he thinks he's smarter than everyone

2. His production ain't all that: He thinks he's a great producer and spurns big beats because of that. Power Trip is nice but brehs, them drums are still weak and where's the bass? It just doesn't knock like it could. Listen to how hard Started From The Bottom is, sonically. I like Power Trip more, but that Drake song has a certain thump to it that's missing from Cole's shyt.

3. He thinks he's bigger than he is: I bet his soul burns slow that Power Trip isn't up on the charts near Started From The Bottom. They came out at the same damn time basically, that wasn't a coincidence. Sometimes you need to fall back and let the label cook. I think he released that song too early, because it was fully done (see #2 ). The song is doing well but it could have done so much better with a video, some interviews, etc.

I think you're off-base with this one. From what I've heard and read in interviews dude seems like one of the most humble guys in the game. He's just nothing more than a competent rapper and always has been. Like most rappers, he would be much better in a group setting.

Also, I'm not a fan outside of like three songs, but dude has a decent following that extends beyond message boards and has had a successful career thus far.

He made Friday Night Lights so I can never truly hate him. Wasn't feelin the album or the TY EP though.

Hopefully he can redeem himself on the album with Dot

J. Cole IS trash though...i didn't need Big Ghost's constant ramblings to come to that conclusion either.

But, :bryan: at Big Ghost saying J.Cole is a living, breathing PT Cruiser on the mic...damn.

I think Cole's dope, could careless about a bloggers opinions. A subpar rapper isn't gonna make a "Lights Please", "Dollar & a Dream", "Lost Ones" or "Premeditated Murder", I can understand why some people think he's boring though :yeshrug:.

I just think he needs to work with more outside producers to challenge himself and push himself artistically. The joint album with Kendrick should prove whether he can make it or not in the long term.
