That's cause he has no image, no story, he's not a Tyler or a Kanye, he's just a regular dude who can rap, so rappers like him and Logic just end up rapping about the same shyt all the time. Their fake struggle, how underrated they are, etc...

I always thought his story was moving to NYC to go to college, tryna get a deal, yada yada. That shii resonates with me (or should/can resonate with any other dude in school). I moved across the state to ATL and didnt know anyone up here, from a very small town also, i got my own goals:ehh: . Im not tryna get a deal but i can relate to that entire journey.


Then he talks about whatever else he went through. Im curious to hear who yall would put over J. Cole

Supporting this off the strength that while alot of these rap nikkas be tweeting and crying about Robin Williams, Joan Rivers, Cole was out there in Ferguson and dropped a tribute to Mike Brown. He also gets my support that he's a talented NC breh doing his thing.

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

It's maintenance ...afterall if you never fully blow or crossover... you can't fall off drastically...

You can coast on your laurels/core fan base and blow up later or not....

Who knows? Let's just wiat until the album drops

Copping because 1. it takes a lot to do something like this when big singles are what have pushed his first two albums 2. he showed up to ferguson and made a track when a lot of rappers in his same position aint even say shyt yet alone show up :pacspit:
