J.Cole Says Too Many Rappers “Fighting For Attention” On Twitter

[loch121]

They fight for attention period.getting off twitter won't stop the souless nature of fame.If not twitter it will be on the red carpet, or the awards, or whatever.fame and Hollywood is a game of getting attention.That's why it's SHOW business, cuz you show shit.

 

[I'm THAT guy...]

How does he know people get mad when their shit doesn't trend? He just talking out of his ass

 

[StillFaggyAF]

Its good to see Cole has his mind right

 

[OceanState]

I think he has a point, people like Wale are constantly on twitter just displaying insecurities

that nigga le' done became a diva over the last year or so. Anyways this makes sense because cole isn't really into "fame" like that. Thats what twitter is about, attention, marketing, fans, etc. If he don't wanna fuck w/ it then don't.

 

[blackbloc]

he right though

 

[DarthRozay]

That's one good thing about Cole on twitter. He's never bullshitting, beefin with haters, etc. I hardly see a tweet from him

 

[grumpy_new_yorker]

j. cole himself is reaching for attention with this stunt.

what's the difference if you do it in an interview or do it on twitter? same shit.

Yea twitter is a bad medium for any type of publicity. Alot of these artist need PR people these days, they kill there careers methodically.

 

[BobOblah]

Cole is right. Artists embarrass themselves on twitter.

If Pac had twitter he would've looked stupid.

pac woulda been on his wale shit

but since he pac he woulda been thuggin on twitter instead of actin like the bald ass diva that he was

Its not just rappers its people in general. Average joe niggas stay trina be cool through twitter. Hence why i don't use an twitter account. As a rapper, celeb, or person of high standing twitter is a loose loose situation. All it takes in one tweet that niggas take the wrong way and you got hella negative press.

And for celebs "getting money" off their high volumes of followers they could easily make that money in other ways that are not risque. The problem with twitter is if you high or had a few drinks and say something quick it take 2 seconds to tweet something and you cant take it back without looking sketchy.

 

[loch121]

I love twitter, and use it, but I'm really the same way online as in life.

I hate fake ass internet ballers who are so rich online and live these great,wealth, imaginary lives and fuck these bad imaginary bitches

Always thought twitter was weak.From the jump.Watch it die faster than facebook.

 

[Billy_Poncho]

The way rappers come and go every 10 seconds, I kinda understand the insecurity from the niggas wit just singles...

 

[usmarin3]

twitter is just bad period, the shit is like a new blackplanet.com for niggas to embarass themselves.

 

[Dharmic X]

Twitter can be a very powerful tool. For celebrities, there is a right and wrong way to use the account; for an example of how to run a twitter correctly, look at Nas's account. Whoever is in-charge of that is using the account to connect with fans and keep them updated, and people are responding to it.

Meanwhile, I'm a very frequent user of twitter because it's a great networking tool for me. It's easy access for a lot of people, so it makes sense for me to jump on and connect.

WOODFACE got wale beat handz down...

 

[real_hh_rep]

Twitter sucks ass. I don't undestand how any grown ass person can engage in twitter beefs with fans, anti-fans and all kind of haters. Nice move Cole!

FB is not dying.it's still the number 1 visited social site and at one point more ppl were on FB than google

there are 800 million users on FB and still growing by millions

FB is number 1 and twitter is number 2.

Doesn't sound like dying
