Five years ago today, on Sept. 27, 2011, J. Cole unleashed his debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story. Now he’s one of the genre’s biggest names, but back then, he was a rising star with mixtape success and plenty of potential.

Looking back, Sideline Story was an important milestone for Cole’s commercial success. The album catapulted to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and “Work Out” remains his biggest hit to date, peeking at No. 13 on the Hot 100. “Can’t Get Enough” featuring Trey Songz and the Missy Elliott-assisted “Nobody’s Perfect” were touchstones too, peeking at No. 52 and 61 respectively, all setting building blocks for his continued success.

Damn its been five years already!!!!!

He really weathered the storm cause looking back this album was very average by his standards but it served its purpose. A shame too considering Friday Night Lights was his REAL debut album.

Cole's growth isn't surprising to his true fans imo....we always knew he belonged with the greats but the industry counted him out because of his regular joe perspective. I believe that the first two albums, although great in their own rights, were him attempting to "prove" why he belonged. I'm glad he's in a space where he understands that his core will have his back and show up with no hesitation. Cheers to his accomplishments thus far and more to come :3
