Like I said earlier, right where these other rappers are at. Now if his 2nd album which doesn't even have release date flops, than yall can say his career is dead and it fizzled out.

Lil Wayne: Carter IV 2,093,000
Drake Take Care 1,734,000

J. Cole Sideline story 609,000
Wiz Khalifa Rolling Papers 780,000
Big Sean Finally Famous 325,000
Wale Ambition 417,000
Young Jeezy TM103 560,000
Tyga Careless World 233,000
Self Made Vol. 1 183,000
Nicki Minaj PF:RR 454,000
What are you talking about, he's sold more than every artist out besides Jay, Kanye, Wayne, Wiz and Drake. His album came out last summer and he's already supposed to have a release date? He just dropped a single from his last album.

Now you've got to be a #1 selling artist to not flop? Cole exceeded his expectations, he sold more than most cats with nothing but music.

He is on Tyga's Album, Melanie Fiona's Album, he was on Keri Hilson Album, Self made. etc

Nobody is checking for Melanie Fiona or Keri hilson. Self made came out over a year ago.

He drops 1 song every 2-3 months. And the songs don't even be fire. There's a reason why nobody is talking about him.

In your argument that he's a disappointment you post numbers that show he's ahead of pretty much all of his peers and even artists people would've said are more popular than Cole.

Why would his second album have a release date if it isn't done and if he's still releasing singles from the first one?

And like Harry said, he's above all those other rappers except Wiz, and that album came out 6 months before Sideline Story.

He's sold damn near twice as much as Sean, who had singles with Chris Brown, Nicki and Ye.

He outsold Nicki's second album. Nicki, who's supposedly one of the biggest stars in music.

No point in even comparing him to Tyga.

You had people saying he wasn't going to sell more than Sean, AFTER Sean sold 83k his first week. People were saying he was only talked about online, joked that Jay didn't even know who he was.

He sold 217k his first week, #1 album on billboard, grammy nom, gold album, plat single with no features, gold single, and selling out concerts overseas.

Only rappers that can outsold him are Jay, Ye, Wayne, Drake, Wiz and Em and he's a disappointment??

I wasn't even going to bother posting up his sales.
Most of these dudes have no idea what they're talking about.
Lol @ thinking Cole isn't easily dusting most of his peers.
He's a very popular rapper in the real world.

Cole is nice. I dont get the hate for him

Hes one of the few actual spitters who making any type of noise right now

His album was alright, the tail end was particularly good IMO

Im excited to see the Kendrick Lamar collabo album materialize

:pachaha:

Had a spark when he started..................

You gonna have to fall back for a few months again if you keep talking reckless like you did last time you were on your Cole dikkriding tour and went in hiding when you saw the numbers :to:

Cats thought you had killed yourself, fortunately a mean depression was the only symptom.

I'll remain loyal to J. Cole until he completely falls off the face of the Earth, I'm not for ditching rappers and hopping back on when they drop a hot mixtape or something

I will say this, he did bore me at first, but I just don't know why so many people wanna see him fail :yeshrug:

Yeah
This is a great case of people being use to quantity over quality.

We're so use to getting so much material from artist we have become spoiled.

I remember when artist would take 3 years to make another album.

We live in an ADD society now.

Maybe Timbaland was right...

I can also see why drake said he wasn't doing any mixtapes anymore...

Hip hop fans are spoiled and fickle and would do anything to be fed even of its half assed shyt just to say that they have it


:sadbron:

No hate towards anyone just giving my perspective.
