A placement on BP3 for J Cole“Drake’s up next see what he do with it” - Jay
- Cole
Jan 18·1 replyWhoAmIIt and Thank Me Later have a lot of the same critiques but they’re both enjoyable listens and are light years ahead of the trash we get today
Funniest part is that Cole World probably aged the best musically outta all his albums but niggas don't wanna admit it

CRACKASTEPPAVEGANThe sprint thing was with 4:44, my bad, and it was a Tidal exclusive for a bit. Sprint bought a million copies and gave them away as promo.
With Mchg, it was a deal with Samsung whereby Samsung purchased a million copies to distribute with its phones, but they didn't count towards billboard first week (it actually sold 500k+ on the first week)
ik but idk if the samsung people got to actually hold the files it was 2013 era streaming. how did they decide who gets paid what. like it wasn't "sales"

J Cole was already buzzing by then. Friday Night Lights was the debut he should’ve put out which had ironically some of the same hits that ended up on CW:SS. Like I said before I’d never say Jay Z didn’t give Cole a bigger leg up because of the Roc Nation co-sign but he did the bare minimum to support his own artist which is crazy to me personally

The beat on that song is so f***in awful
Plus it’s insane that Jays given Meek, Jeezy, Drake, Kanye etc… all time classic verses and this weak bullshit is the only Hov feature on a Cole project. That unironically makes the song worse in hindsight

Samsung bought digital copies upfront. Sales to distributors/partners like Samsung are still treated as shipping to retailers by RIAA, hence the platinum status. However, Billboard didn't count them, as it accounts for consumer transactions.

He was making the best music when he was trying to be KanyeThat's your opinion, but even if that were true, better production doesn't automatically mean it aged the best.
