Good music gets less support however, im glad that Cole is getting deserved love from his fans. I personally rate this guy above kendrick lamar
Have you seen the metacritic scores from both albums? One’s “universally acclaimed” and the other is just “critically acclaimed”. I think you can tell who the better rapper is by those numbers submitted by professional critics.
When will Heara?
This is a J. Cole post. Why are you bothered by Ciara? Anyway J.Cole is doing the damn thing!!!!!
When Rihannas bitchx ass releases Flop8
If Ciara iz all the Queen u claim, then please explain y u have Beyoncè pale a** az ur Gravatar?
@what now
Dont worry about it. Focus on NoRIHleaseDate
Take ur own advice Tyiesha bc I don’t think I waz talking 2 ur weak a**.
But I was talking to urs. Trolls are to be seen, not heard!
Pressed b**** #R(IP)8 won’t even see gold if it’s ever released.
He sold a mil weeks ago. Anyway, when will The Pink Print? When will Artpop? Hahahahaha
.
But doing some research, J.Cole, Drake, Nicki and the rest WW sales are basic as crap. They all sold less than 200K WW.
go chock on a s!ck d***.f-cking nuisance this had nothing to do with them people,godd-mn when will you get a life.
When will Shookhanna release her album sis?
PinkPrint still aint platinum yet????? What’s taking so long? ???
Congradulations Cole. This is impressive,he had no radio single, no music videos, no interviews, no promo or anything and went platinum.He is even outselling some legends in the game that have released albums.
He had 3 or music videos. And none of his singles charted higher than #50 on the hot 100 and he still got platinum before nicki. ???????? First album in 25 years with no features. #ColeWorl
Congrats cutie
When will Trashnika’s Pinkslip? Trashnika had promotion for months and a #2 single in Anaconda, and her album still hasn’t done 1,000,000 WORLDWIDE. It’s stuck at 600k in the US. J. Cole didn’t have any promotion and he’s gone platinum in sales, and his album was released just one week before Trashnika’s Pinkslip. Another loss for Trashnika. GO J. COLE!
Isn’t Hardcore still stuck @ 500k 10 years later? Quit trying 2 use the relevant J. Cole 2 fite ur beef with the relevant Nicki. Kim is washed up.
No boo don’t try it all Kims albums are platinum.
Why is the naked trash not even gold a decade after it dropped ? I wanna know..
But Kim’s first album is double platinum so are her second and third. While Nicki’s second album still hasn’t sold 1 million copies after 3 years and the pinkprint will never see platinum. #Facts
But has American p**** oxide sold that 600’000 that you like to drag Nicki so much about? I mean the other was a cheap macSingle while the other was full album… And I take it that album is still M.I.A eight months after the first single?……..
Cograts Mr J,wet dreamz is still my favourate from that album
Try again b****, bc even w/ ur Queen Beyoncè on the song, Feeling Myself flopped along wit every other Tidal exclusive including B**** I’m Madonna. Don’t worry about Rihanna, bc all of her albums are platinum and R8 will be no different.
If every other Tidal release was a flop, what honestly makes u think that R8 wont be???
I’m actually surprused that he’s selling out arenas to death! Lol! I never saw that coming! Well, good job to him and good luck achieving longevity and legend status.
Cole World!!!!!
He puts me in the mind of a young Pac. True lyricist and storytellers.
And people say no one buys albums anymore..that’s a lie, make good music then people will support.People want great music
Congrats King!!! I’m not surprised, Forest Hills drive is such a great album and even deserves double platinum status.
Congrats Handsome Grown Ass Man That Be Rapping About Something.
Congrats to him! I hope he starts making music like “Work Out” and “Can’t Get Enough” on his first album. All this depression music is needed right now and I enjoy it but it’s been a long time. Thanks to Nas’ old ass that told him to not make those songs anymore. *sigh*
“Im from the ville where they bang for the money, and carry 4 5s like change for a 20.”
Love Cant Get Enough! Work Out was pretty wack though. I expected him to deliver something completely different after he slayed our lives with Friday Night Lights and Sideline Story.
I felt the exact same way about Kendrick Lamars first single Swimming Pools. Total disappointment!!!
This was the first J. Cole album I actually got into and it was a great album. He’s a talented young man and I think he will have longevity and I think the recognition he deserves will come along as well.
He did that with no
No features
No Award show performances
No smutty and controversial music video
Sticking to what you know and not trying to cross over to pop
Congrats to him! If anyone’s seen his “Wet Dreamz” music video, then they’d know that he has some pretty-decent looking feet. They’re nice and clean. That’s good because I know most men don’t give a damn about how their feet look. Shoot, even Kim makes Kanye wash his feet every night before they go to bed.
4EverBrandy_Ci, here you go again slaying my entire existence with that avi! I’m mad at you for making me stan for you so hard!!! Lol!
I need another buttermilk brown, milk chocolate lover in my life ’cause the one I got now acting up like he cant be replaced!
Poor Ciara. She could never. 🙁
The naked truth has NO certification, NONE n it came out in 2005. Thats probably why Lil Flop’s label dropped her bum ass.
Anyway, congrats to J.Cole ! His album is better than Drake’s imo.
And no need to compare him to Nicki when 1. He hasntt been through the half of what Nicki been thru in terms of ppl trying to ruin her reputation etc. 2. He is a MALE rapper ( we live in a misogynous society.) 3. Nicki has been mainstream for years n has 2 pmat albums.
Excuses. Nicki is desperate and washed up.
Yup cause having a gold album thats clode to 1M in less than a year makes u washed up :-/. The Pinkprint outsold selena’s last album. Nicki just did a sold-out arena tour, she won several awards this yr as well, got a top 10 hit, 3 plat hits, a top 40 hit, a wax figure at madame tussauds AND is currently on the bb hot 100 AND bb 200. Im so glad she’s “washed up” ????
It’s his best album, so it’s deserved.
Only the second album this year to sell 1 million. Sales are d e a d.
–
The rest of Honeymoon better be excellent like Paradise/Ultraviolence or I will be dragging Lana’s lazy ass to hell and back when it’s HDD projections come out a week from tomorrow. Especially if she ends up with less than Florence.
Honey nobody cares about Lana. She will be lucky to sell 100K total. Drunk d***.
fdknffj @ this coming from a Selena stan
Didn’t Selena’s h** ass sell like 16K first week with that “greatest hits” album?
Did Stars Dance even sell 400K?
I can’t wait for it either. This amazing HBTB remix came on at the club on Thursday and ironically the dj whose set it was, was named White Rose
High By The Beach would’ve sold 90-100K+ first week if her stupid ass team didn’t release it on a Monday. And people are obviously still interested in her, Prisoner went top 3 on iTunes the day BBTM was released and debuted this week in the top 50 (highest debut this week for any song on the album).
She’s selling 125K max in the U.S., honestly wouldn’t be surprised if she did Halsey #s since she already replaced her on Tumblr. It will for sure bomb in Europe, who used to stan her so hard.
I like his singles from this album but when I listen to “no sleeep”, I skip the song when his long ass verse comes on.
Omg only 2 albums went plat this yr. How many went gold ? Nicki’s album, kendrick’s? Thats it ?
Out of studio albums released in 2015, only Kendrick and Meghan Trainor scanned gold (Fifty Shades is a soundtrack). That bro country artist that’s huge in the U.S. (Luke Bryan, I think?) is probably next if he hasn’t done so already.
Love Cole ! I got a chance to see him & he is absolutely amazing , a great lyrical rapper & a incredible performer , he slayed at the MIA festival.! His album proved that you don’t need gimmicks & a radio song to sell a album, he did his thing with no promo, can’t wait for his next album
