Real

A wise man (me) once said "fuck what it look like"

No relying on features, he got…

Work Out
Power Trip
No Role Modelz
Middle Child

Is that it?

I mean the narrative already created & being ran with is that by suing UMG for not protecting him as an asset & allegedly pumping the NLU record is that he's some underdog fighting against an industry that is becoming more monopolized & anti-star. & all his stans are already running with that.

Even if that stuff about the labels is partially true about devaluing even it's biggest stars expendable for leverage in negotiation sake, it doesnt take away from the simple fact that this nigga lost & played bad strategy in a conflict he gleefully abetted.

ATM lol

It really should be like Travis in there instead

Travis has felt like a more impactful artist with a more dedicated fanbase for a long time now

Crying I just got to this club and niggas playing the “These Walls” instrumental off TPAB wtf

Or future yeah.

Future is a mainstay for sure and has fans but he just doesn't sell at that level tbh

Who Dat (8 weeks #1 106 & park)

Wet Dreamz (feel like these 2 are hits if you were there for the moment)
Crooked Smile

Deja Vu
Neighbors
KOD
ATM
Immortal
Kevin’s Heart
95 South
Amari
Pride is The Devil

Were all billboard top 10s

What’s up with the Cole slander in here? He already lost lol

He does have like 12 number 1 albums in a row.

I feel like future has his own lane and isn't even really competing for that

Travis Scott does extra extra promo and tries hard to make every project moments

Definitely not like trying to diminish future

I like him a lot more than Travis

But the numbers aren't there and his albums don't feel like they are big moments when compared to Travis

Ya’ll gotta relax man. Longest running hiphop festival till this day. 100k every year since 2014 coming to North Carolina, ya’ll gotta stop it.

Did a short tour post pandemic before his peers and those 24 shows if he did a full tour woulda been the highest selling hiphop tour all time but you know, covid.

The revisionist s*** is so dead man

True

Maybe he’ll make a great project one day.

The festival is cool and he tours well but Travis albums and songs still feel bigger

And Travis tours pretty freaking good too

Lol

J Cole was never as good as Drake or Kendrick its just a fact

I mean yeah

There was always the popularity vs quality argument for Kendrick and drake

J Cole was always just there as the spot filler for third place

And like j Cole is popular and very successful

But it has always seemed like a really big gap

Word

Ya’ll didn’t experience J. Cole’s run man, the other dude who ran 106 & Park and the college circuit and was getting major co-signs from legends in music and collaborations

I mean there was definitely a time where Cole belonged in the big 3

I just think for the last like 5 years he probably didn't

There is no interchanging a big 3
