The Yeezus album is very different from the rest of his discography .. a couple of songs on it were good but overall it represented the change in direction for Ye.. From that guy we used to root for his mad samplings and witty lines to an ignorant, arrogant prick.
Don't get me started about the Life of Pablo.. like he is trying to keep up with these new mumbling ass rappers.... He went from being the style changer to the conformer.
I am not cool with TLOP either.

Exactly what I wanted to hear about yeezus, it felt like it was Kanye and some other ass on the album.. Hopefully he divorces Kim Kardashian and get his shit back together..

which one of u got the album legally
Stop being an a$$.. All this streaming sites don't let Nigerians in, how do you expect us to get it legally.. If they allow, the govt would say we can't use our cards "abroad".. I use a VPN with spotify though so I and some many others heard the shit legally

Everyone gobbles his music up good or bad.... I really hope he gets his priorities set now.. cant be a half assed rapper and a half assed designer at the same time....

living legend...no grammy? was number 2 then kendrick came and bumped him down to 3

can't risk jumpimg on a track with kendrick... can't beef drake

guy nothing legendary about this dude

... and yea i'm a cole fan sinc friday night lights and presently bumping yhis inferior album

born sinner still his best work (imo)

Lol..you define a legend by "grammy". I can namedrop 20 top rappers who don't got a grammy yet and still are "LEGENDS".. Pac, Biggie, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Nas, even the god, Rakim. Can drake even try touching someone like Jay Electronica (even if he doesn't have an album yet after all this years)..

Grammy is just for mainstream artistes.

can't risk jumpimg on a track with kendrick... can't beef drake -- Must they do the collaboration album everyone is talking about ? Plus i heard Ab Soul (Kendrick's label mate) saying the stuff is "in works".. Drake ? Jcole ? Lol.. Any half baked rapper in the industry would tear Drake's ass (and no, Meek mill is not half baked, that guy is worst than "half of half"..

Born sinner his best work ? I can't say. I love 2014FHH too though.

Grammy for mainstream? Lols don't say it outside.

And yea we rep an artist by the numbers he's pushing hip hop is a gladiatorial spot.

Forget a collaborative album, explain to me why 'these close pals' can't do ONE TRACK together?

Don't kid yourself, drake will jump on Any track with any artist that's confidence

He dropped very legit bars alongside the likes of T.I, JAYZ, KANYE, WAYNE, JEEZY, EMINEM yet ya'll diss him cos he sings too? Lol

When cole n kendrick also wish they could sing?

Even this new 4UEO? Fake as fúck! The titular track is a failed attempt to match sing about me/ dying of thirst

10 tracks and only 2/3 carry any weight.

Oga a legend must have. At least 1 classic album.

Please point out coles classic album?!

I can show u my cole collection... i'm a big fan but let's face it niqqa is an 'also-ran'. Drake n kendrick defined this era

TF yu on about? Since when did doing a song with another artist make yu anything??.

I mean Nigga you even mentioned Drake...Drake! That nigga don't even write his own shit and NO he can't go toe to toe with Cole.

Yes sir, Grammy is very very MAINSTREAM...especially for rap music!


I can see your love for Drake and his numbers tho. I agree with you Born Sinner is my alltime favourite Cole album, but 2014FHD and 4YEO are albums that show the growth Cole has undergone in his career. I don't think he a legend yet! Don't even care if he is gonna be...posterity will be the judge of that but the nigga is trailblazing!!!!



He got Numbers too btw



Double Platinum No Features!!!!

Huh? Yet kendrick was fùcking happy to win dem grammy's?

Ya'll say whatever makes u happy, but err1 knows grammy's is the highest award a rapper can aspire to.

And yea, it's hip hop tradition for rappers to feature eachother, especially when you tight friends.

So someone explain why that's not happened yet? Props to Big Sean he jumped in the booth with kendrick n drake so far (tho it exposed his flaws, but that's rap)

Cole scared to be 'compared' bar-4-bar on a song.

2014's theme wasn't bad, but this 4euo? It's a lazy album!

If you're gonna drop just 10tracks in a full LP each of em gotta Carry weight.

Fold clothes was basically cole tryna use jazz/funk beats...another aim to copy the direction went with TPAB

I'm venting cos that piece of shit was 98mb

Lol. I shall now take it upon myself to make yu see the light
Cole's a storyteller and the whole album's a short story.
Tells the story of a black american man that pushes drugs, gangbangs, goes to jail and is mostlikely gonna die before he's 30 just like the usual Black American(For whom the bell tolls,immortal, ville mentality) then he goes on and meets a gir(Deja vu) and falls in love(she's mine1). Now he's willing to change(Change) and do 'non manly' things for her, like fold clothes, drink almond milk and just generally be the better man for her(Foldin clothes). Then he gives birth to a daughter(She's mine2) and he's absolutely overwhelmed that he's a father, he just can't blive it...he falls in love with his daughter. But he dies. The last track is sorta a post humous track, cos he already dead, so he's tryna explain the change in mentallity he had before he died to his now grown daughter and basically how life was in the hood. Like explaining how he wasn't a real nigga because he gangbangd or move drugs, but because he loved her!


Album is fooking Genius bruh. I am impressed!. Don't shuffle! Listen Objectively

Lols if I didn't know all u typed then I ain't a hip-hop head na.

Like I said he wasn't original on this record, hence it fell short once again of being a classic.

I'd bump sing about me/ dying of thirst anyday anytime

The art of peer pressure? Keisha's song?? Et al

Also cole's stories are cool sha, but this 'very conscious' album wasn't deep enough (imo)

Deja vu, got me excited with the intro, but as his verses started rolling in, began to bore a little.

That's always been the general problem with cole, his style of rap gets boring, not the type u "auto-repeat" a full day.

But like I said this album was disappointing...but hey its the direction he decided to take, that's why art is personal.

He'll prolly go plat b4 Dec 2017 off the strength of his name more than this albums true worth.

Same with my fav rapper (drakes) underwhelming effort on views.

Nigga you really don't knw much about rap, kindly answer this question, how many rapper have won the Grammy award? Nas was / still the greatest rapper alive ( one of the greatest) he never won Grammy. So you know, Grammy award is overrated and fixed. Nobody cares about the award anymore, the most important thing is keeping your fans alive and happy. When Macklemore won Grammy , he admitted that Kendrick Lamar deserve to win it. So bro, you know little about rappers. Finally he's album is the best album I have listened to in 2016.

Considering the fact we talking about the 'new school' why refer to the old school?

Nas has had nominations, but no grams? Ok!

It's like downplaying the Oscars cos di caprio hadn't won any up until the revenant? Like seriously?

Believe it or not, it'll hurt Nas & other rappers who don't have that gram sitting on a pretty shelf.

Also Bruv we discussing the new school and the grammy is now very fvcking relevant.

Especially when u consider the fact that the 'rap scene' is at best a wilderness right now... not many cats pulling numbers or crowds (at their shows)

And yea don't tell me numbers don't matter either.

I know drake got 1, kendrick got like 3?4??

J.cole without a grammy means he hasn't been able to better drake or kendrick . #simple

To be a legend to you to have one of 3 things
1- grammy's (yea it's the world cup of music)
2- classics (album)
3- redefined the game/influence the culture


Nas that u mentioned ain't got grams...BUT he got 2 other things: classics & 'defining raps' i.e changed the game.

cole got alotta nice tracks but feel free to tell me his "classics" or "classic album". Or his impact that 'changed' hip hop

Maybe I don't know rap sha. Lols

Seriously you refer to drake as a serious rapper. When all he does is rap about himself being god or some bitch he turned over the other night. Man

You don't rate an artists by all this measures. Heard Hopsin, kurupt, ghist face killah, raekwon, talib kweli.. Man hip hop don't work this way.

2014FHD, Born sinner are classics-- fucking classics. STILL Haven't gone through 4YEO properly.

That's the thing.. NAS is the greatest ever, still no grammy... The list is endless.. Grammy is just BS.. How about that year when jayz refused to attend the grammys because DMX wasn't recognized - even though he (jay) won a grammy . Grammy is shit

Cole is the GOAT when it comes to storytelling. 4YEO is a legendary concept album, classic material!
The track 4YEO is over 8 minutes long and it's still too short. Other tracks like neighbours & Immortal are tight too.
As for that guy whose fav rapper is Drake, what the hell is wrong with you I agree, his rap technique is dope but he only raps about crap. 'Got so many chains they call me Chaining Tatum' I mean...
Finally, J Cole has tracks with Drake, Jay Z, Kendrick etc and he held his own every single time. Lets appreciate genius while he still lives. Peace.

Cole is a genius I can't but agree with you more. But I got a question for you, why are you mad at drake cos he sings?

I'm not mad at his singing, Cole sang a lot on 4YEO and it is so sick. I'm only unimpressed by what Drake sings about, shallow topics like big booty hoes & how much money he's making.
But, hey, it works for him. One Dance was the most streamed track in 2016, and is nominated for a Grammy (still can't understand why), who am I to judge? The TLOP you guys are bashing trumps Views hands down.

Well I must say I get tired of listening to him talk about money, hoes and other junk stuffs, but nevertheless he still has some pretty deep bars too. Let me give a list.
Pound cake
Know yourself
Headlines
Over my dead boby
HYFR
Too much
The language
Free spirit
Ransom
Let me stop there, now tell me what you think about them.

Yeah, all dope songs. You left out From Time which is one of my fav tracks from Drake to date.

But I don't think you can call them 'deep'.. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that has experienced the level of pain you need to achieve that depth. He himself has admitted it on some of his tracks eg You & the 6 (another nice track).

I guess you can't give what you don't have, unless you lie.
