Continuing my brief chat with J.Cole this past weekend at Heineken’s Inspire Tour in Manhattan, I ventured down the lane of what was most beneficial for him this past year: Being placed on Jay-Z’s “A Star Is Born” from his Blueprint 3 opus or opening for Hov for his Blueprint 3 tour.
To be honest, either placement is a GREAT look a new artist of Cole’s stature, or any stature for that matter, would kill for. On one hand you’re verbally sparring with one of the greats on a track that’s highlighting your struggles and how your favorite artist believes in your star potential.
But then on the other hand, your favorite artist has decided to position you as an opener for his tour (as if he needs one). Man, what a year for Roc Nation’s brightest star.
What do you think???? – LowKey

Tour…without a shadow of a doubt…you perform the song on tour.
they both benifitted him more than his “who dat” single. i heard that on the radio last night, he really sold out on that one, super super cliche song
To be honest, I had been sleeping on Cole until I saw Jay on tour last October. I was excited that Wale and Pharrell would be opening, but not so much him. When I saw him perform I was really impressed, and downloaded The Come Up and The Warm Up. Seeing Cole on tour really opened my eyes to what a great artist he is.
LP. He literally got a 15 min set on the tour.
Damn Hov really is setting this kid up to take the crown. That tour definitely was a good look.
“The flow cold as the shoulders of gold diggin hoes when a broke nigga approaches”
Imagine writing a verse in front of jay z and beyonce on the spot, and still coming with a damn sick verse. Worddddd
^^very true
I seen cole @ S.O.B’s he def striving to be a perfectionist, which could hinder him.
My thoughts are, just stay hungry and realize messing up is part of the greatness. Do you recall best of both worlds?
A Star Is Born put him on the map. bp3 put alot of people on the map. i know jay is just riding the fame wave of new artist. but if he didnt put all theses new artist on bp3 alot of people will stil sleep on them. A Star Is Born made me download his mixtape when i 1st saw the track list
definitely the tour. mainstream heads still haven’t heard “A Star Is Born” – not one of Jay’s radio tracks
LP cuz otherwise Cole wouldn’t have been on the tour.
Excited to see him at Bumbershoot
the A. Hole wet dream fans have already pre-ejaculated themselves to even bother with him now. he’s like that project prostitute with no front teeth, six kids having from six different fathers. his career is going down the path of hanging off Jay-Z’s nuts for as long as he can. he’s become too occupied with himself with all these self-dick sucking interviews. the “who dat” single was to elevate his name in the game, but it was forgotten faster than the chick R. Kelly pissed on. he’s an over-rated twitter rapper with below average bars. he hasn’t done anything yet, that another rapper has already done decades ago. his subject matter isn’t groundbreaking, and his flow is not original. his wordplay is childish and amateurish, very unimportant meaning to his delivery. this nigga has done more interviews than Obama has done press conferences. for all yall little girls who feel to call me a hater, all I’m doing is stating real cold hard facts about this one hit mixtape rapper by the name of A. Hole. A. Hole is the next Papoose. A. Hole YOU WILL FAIL!
It goes hand in hand. If he wasn’t on BP3, he wouldn’t be on tour.
NYC/Brooklyn – the more you say, the less important it sounds.
@fulltimeboss
@ NYC/BROOKLYN
you have to type such long shit hating on ‘A. Hole’ on all posts??? Actually seems like you’re the A. Hole
I know J Cole is probably tired as hell of being asked Jay-Z questions by now, lol.
NYC/Brookleyn must have somethin personal against Cole… If not, I really feel bad for you directing that much hate towards another human being.. go ask yo moms for a hug
NYC/BROOKLYN is drake in disguise. I guess that he is hating as hard as possible on J.Cole to cover up the fear within..
idk wat this niga talkin bout? if u kno u need to make hits. then why the fuck don’t you have any? who dat is on some straight hip hop shit, dat aint never gon be a hit.
hope dudes got at least one homerun on dat album cuz unless somethin pops its lookin bleak for this niga
@AM who did he put on the map with bp3 besides cole? all the other people featured already had out hit records
@ NYC/BROKKLYN J. Cole rarely gets on twitter.
Well…the way i see it is if yall ninjas didn’t know j.cole b4 blueprint LP or Tour then yall all bandwagon ass foooools
co sign @ hiphopzpop
This nigga NYC/BROOKLYN yo i deadass feel like punching you in the face u talk so much ignorance and hate nikka come on why u on j coles dickk!? everys single j cole post you post the same shit a.hole blah blach which is fuckn corny nigga and j cole bearly goes on twitter u dumb shit
@ 1Dopeguy. nigga please!. go in front of a mirror and hug yourself. in matter of fact… hold on to your dick and go fuck yourself, hold up, hold up.. in matter of fact, place yourself back inside your moms pussy and go abort yourself. nigga, are you crazy? you out here hostile threatening to punch me in the face through a computer? what are you some matrix nigga? it’s obvious you’re one of these wet dream A. Hole fans. you wanna come at me? I gave you and the rest of these dickriders my straight up and down opinion on why I think A. Hole is wack. you wanna debate this shit, then let’s get it crackin’. give me your insight and your one-sided opinion on why you love A. Hole so fuckin’ much. make me a fuckin’ believer. this nigga A. Hole is all INTERVIEWS. the nigga is limited in skills. it’s easy for him in “interviews” to talk about how he’s been inspired by the greats, but when the MIC is in his face to kick a freestyle, he fuckin’ freezes. he throws these little candy-coated bars and comes to a complete stop. that’s no quote unquote SOUNDING HUNGRY RAPPER. if he’s the next coming he should easily spit a 64 with no problem. if you’re an MC, you gonna kick that shit and represent no matter the circumstances or environment you’re in. the funny shit is, niggaz today is soft and emotional. when somebody got an opinion, it becomes HATE. also, there’s a bunch of stupid motherfuckers that react with the A. Hole is better than Flake answers. niggaz know on here I think Flake is equally as wack as A. Hole. I don’t give a fuck about record numbers and #1 hits. the streets don’t give a shit about that. SKILLS, it boils down to that. and IMO right now, I believe A. Hole is nothing but an over-rated interview MC. who the fuck knows, maybe when the album leaks and I download it, I may give the brother his props. I highly doubt that it’s gonna be dope, but maybe it will. I will gladly come out here and apologize to the brother and the rest of yall wet dream fans. 1Dopeguy, I’ll gladly accept your apology, because I know deep down you’re not the physical threatening type. go outside and buy yourself a 40 and live life to the fullest. asalamalakum. A. HOLE, (maybe or maybe not) YOU WILL FAIL!
