Is J Cole losing steam by not dropping yet or is he going in the right direction...

[mr.getwitcha]

J Cole opened up for Drake, that was the bill. Atleast do some research before talking out your ass dude and yes the fucking crowd was singing his shit word for word and these songs aren't even singles. LOL 2 years does not make something time less dumbass, i still hear Ja Rules music from time to time, that don't make it timeless either.

So basically it was a Drake show. This goes back to my first post, that just because you show a rapper at a show with a crowd doesnt mean thats who the crowd came to see. I figured he was opening for someone bigger.

LOL @ timeless meaning anything other than a long period of time. I still hear old Snoop Dogg from the 90's but that aint timeless? Bwahaahahaha...GTFOH!!!

i think any artist that sits around not putting out music is a loss imo. if i was in the game i would wanna drop something new every 2 months

Then how do you explain niggas like Em, Nas, Jay, and numerous other artist being able to take year or two long breaks between albums and still maintain their spots, a fanbase allows you to do that. Niggas like Ross have to drop music continuously because he knows he only has a limited amount of time, look how niggas are treating Jeezy now like he fell off.

So would you say the BP3 tour was a Jay-z show only, even though Jeezy and Trey Songz was on the bill?

Need to take a look outside hip hop homie...we the only ones that expect artists to flood the market...thats the exact opposite of what most artists try to do

See what i'm talking, the world is bigger than your block and your circle of friends, i don't give a fuck what goes on in your project or suburb. It doesn't represent the rest of the world! How do you know what he is capable of doing until you hear his album, and last time i check he has some good people on his side who will guide him in the right direction (NO ID, Jay, Danja Handz, and his manager). If you don't think he is capable of great things, why are you even in this thread, you clearly have no vested interest in dudes music?

Bwahaahahaha, aint you the same dude who think cause some girls on your college campus like J. cole that he is somehow blowing up? You're too hypocritical. Niggas on here telling you that in the area they are in that Cole isnt popping like that. Yet you think cause your lil circle of friends like him and the lil college you go to likes him that the rest of the world does. You need to think before you post. Its getting to the point of retardation now.

Yeah, i would say a good majority of the crowd came to see Jay Z. He couldve let anyone open up for him and they would have a crowd. Dude sells out MSG by himself...Jeezy and Trey cant do that

Hypocritical isn't even the word for him they need to event a new word in the dictionary for him

if you don't come out with a hit single they will shelve you . It's too competitive today not to have that a good single because musicial taste switch too fast and you can easily become yesterday's news. J.Cole doesn't have a fanbase or a hit record and if he doesn't get one or the either he's done. He's been signed for like a year or two. most of the people mentioned either had a fanbase or a single before they signed a major deal. So J.Cole is bout to be S.O.L even Jay Electronica had a big record before he had a deal you have to show your worth in the industry before the label will back you . He only getting shows because he is signed.

Niccas gon see the fanbase he got when them first week soundscans comeback...like damn didn't think dude would do them numbers...he's got that Nas,Lupe Fiasco type of dedicated fanbase. While he might not blow the roof and do Drake type numbers he'll get his consistent 90- 100k first week fans for quite a while.

Somebody explain how he can sell out a 4k venue in a week and not have a fanbase? And this is outside the U.S

so tell he doesn't have a fanbase

I always said that at this moment in time, dude is on that B.O.B. level. He might do Cudi #'s if he lucky. But after the first week, his numbers are going to drop, just like everybody else.

I think he's going the right route by waiting. Plus, I think Jay knows how to cultivate a career better than I do. So...

You are seriously underestimating the power of word of mouth and BoB basically sold because of other artists (Haily Williams, River Cuomo and Bruno Mars).

 

[tompetrez3]

how the fuck is j cole being developed? the nigga has no music easily available. i didnt hear a follow up to who dat. there is no specific time frame on his album. why wont you niggas just admit that jay z dont know what to do with this nigga. this usuncl3tom sounding stupid mentioning a forgettable filler track with jay z 2 years ago and a concert apperance gonna keep cole relevant. no more than 40k 1st week. aint no more artist development in these labels that are already downsized and merged. quit trying to act like you know what you talking about.

You say it like being on B.O.B level is a failure..lol I'd say B.O.B is a success..and the label would be thrilled if he did Cudi numbers, Cudi is probably top 10 in the genre as far as sales(if you consider Cudi hip hop)
