We caught up with J. Cole in Chicago for the Heineken Inspire show at The Ravenswood Event Center. The young and buzzing rapper speaks on the reasoning behind his one-shot video for ‘Who Dat’, capturing a fans emotion through live show, his upcoming album due out later this year and what he hopes listeners will take from it. He also performs ‘Dollar And A Dream’ and ‘Who Dat’. – illRoots

here we go again with this over-rated boring rapper by the name of A. Hole. the nigga will FAIL.
j. cole is overrated.
one thing is to say you dont like a rapper and his music or whatever… but hating is an entirely different thing… learn how to give criticism homie.
no first week numbers for Recovery yet? Tomorrow i guess?
I hate the pace of “fans”/listeners today…
It’s too fast…
How is J. Cole overrated? He’s still growing as an artist. He’s not critically acclaimed just yet. The common public aren’t bumping his music all day, everyday. He’s not over saturating himself. He’s not putting out 8 videos at once….
It’s ok to be critical of an artist and not like them, but overrated isn’t the word that should come to mind when you think of J. Cole.
NYC/BROOKLYN i think it’s hilarious that you are always the first one to comment on the j cole posts. Why even comment on the j cole stuff? we all know your stance on his stuff. You’re just trolling.
when will we get recoverys first week sales numbers????
J. Cole is far from overrated Wanna know someone who is? DRAKE. Yet, I still respect him. Let cole grind, he’s talented. Yall just sound like haters
I’m salty I had tickets to the Chicago show printed up like 2 weeks early and had to take my mom to the emergency room Saturday morning for some shit they sent her back out the door for in less than five minutes. Then she had me take her various other places, thus missing the concert at 2pm. Damn it, Damn it, Damn it! lol
J.Cole’s live performance looks pretty sick.
Em’s Recovery did 140,000 first week…. in the UK.
Next concert for me and my lady will be Trey Songz, Nicki Manaj and Teairra Mari at the Taste of Chicago July 1st. If she calls on me again this time, I’ll chalk it up to her not liking my taste in women. lol
J. cole is alright to me he starts to get somewhat repetitive at times but he still better then 77% of the so called artists in the game.
J.COLE > DRAKE all day.

I was at this show. This dude killed it and Chicago held him downnnnn. Overrated? I don’t think so.

LMAO at fanboys saying J.Cole is better than Drake. That’s not really saying much. Who isn’t???
Helll yea, this event was the ish. J.Cole was dope for real.
