Blu kalled - homie wants his swag baak :lolbron:

on the real tho .. this just seems like a bad biz move only coz cole really moved up a lvl AFTER THE LAST ALBUM .. GRAMMY .. A SMASH HIT ..good sales numbers:stopitslime:

seems backwards .. he has a hardcore following and fan base but this won't help advance that or his career .. :yeshrug:

bad mgmt ... and obviously proves once again cole closer to Nas from a artist standpoint then jay

Lets keep it 100. J.COLE has yet to drop an album on the same level as Friday Night Lights and The Warm Up. His debut was disappointing. Born Sinner was good but not great and not something you want to revisit and listen front to back.

I'm still confused on why he left all of the best tracks in his studio sessions on the Truly Yours series. His truly yours series really showed the artist he was SUPPOSE to be. It was some of his most creative and introspective storytelling shyt we seen from him since his early days. Rise Above, Cousins, Can I Holla At Ya, 3 Wishes, Tears For ODB. Your really got to hear and see Cole.

lol born sinner is his best project. friday night lights aint even that good.. idk why ya'll champion that shyt..


i assume its the first most nikkas heard from him, so they'll always rep it super hard like it's his be all end all.. some nikkas do it to kendrick with section 80 too..

but nikkas who been fans from the jump will tell you the warm up and overly dedicated > both them shyts

Truly Yours pt.1-3>>>>>>>>>>>>Born Sinner

Born Sinner lacked a great performance. He spazzed on Forbidden Fruit and Born Sinner was a dope closer but a lot tracks Cole was coasting on. He didn't do Land of Snakes justice. Crooked Smile was a weak second single. Aint That Some shyt was a throwaway.

FNL aint even that good?

Too Deep For The Intro, Premeditated Murder, Villmatic, 2Face, Best Friend, Enchanted, Farewell, See World....I mean FNL was filled with great tunes.

All you need, brehs. Some of these nikkas are too busy listening to shyt music like Keef, Ace Hood :russ: , and even Bobby Shmurda
ace hood does not belong in the same category as those 2 bum ass nikkas, ace actually can rap and has some pretty deep meaningful songs on his releases.

anyway can't wait for this to drop :blessed:


drake stans always get in their feelings when cole drops a new release.

Some of yall gotta chill with the high debut numbers and thinking he'll outsell Wayne

He said hes dropping this with no singles. shyt is almost a mixtape by the sounds of things for retail. Gonna test his base but I think he'll do a decent on it.
