  19. Hahaha i thought hov was the only feature on the album. Yall ready for Drake 2.0?

  20. I said it before I say it again get ready for the so called fans to turn they back on him.like b.o.b,drake and wiz.niggas didn’t even hear the track yet and still hatin it

  21. Never like this nigga, he’s a fuckin square

  22. hahahahaha, cracking up at that ghostface post.

  23. How would he get big numbers without a feature like Trey Songz?
    Seriously, answer me that question?

    Maybe you dunces aren’t aware that J. Cole is still fairly underground and that if he was to put out a CD without any features or radio friendly singles he would only be selling around 20k.
    The single draws in the crowds, the crowds buy the CD, the crowds listen to the CD, and then they realize that the rest of his more ‘authentic’ work is actually top quality.
    It isn’t rocket science.

  24. That doesn’t mean the song is bad if he has Trey Songz feature. I think it’s a great choice. Trey’s been making huge progress in his music.

    I heard the song is incredible, though.

    @Dino: falling off? he’s probably most exciting artist right now. friday night lights is one talked things in the game right now.

  26. coLeNaTion

  27. @slimmy no disrespect but u sound dumb, this has nothing to do with Jay. Cole has been around for about 3 years but he damn sure wasn’t signed to rocnation all that time. I think cole just wants to create enough buzz so he can push units. Jay tried his best with certain artist but none of them were really marketable. Beans was always a fuckin problem though he had opportunities. Bleek is just boring and Tierra Mari…..I mean come on. Cole is his second most promising protege behind yeezy and he’ll def get his shot.

  28. ^
    In the meantime let’s enjoy music for how it sounds, not how it sells.

  29. @K couldn’t say it better homie

  30. ^^^ Agreed…well there’s still friday night lights

  31. I don’t even have to listen to the interview because he never says anything new.

  32. Jay also tried to sign Lupe for 3 years 01-04 , I wish that would have happened then Lu wouldnt have all them label problems.

  33. and J cole and Trey songs = no fuego. J cole and Cee lo = Dopeness

  34. why in Gods name does my picture show up next to comments? O_o

  35. whats wrong wit trey songz? no one wants a real lyrical dude like j cole to succeed? saigon did pain in my life with trey and lupes guna have trey on his album….yallll are cornballssss fuck it i hope j cole goes platinum off that single

  36. @ BIG GHOSTFACE
    HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAAH THAT WAS LITERALLY THE FUNNIEST SHIT IVE READ THIS YEAR LMAOOOOOOO

    “yo whattup to that nigga J Coles! Ya know the god a fan! I been peepin the kid since that Best I Ever Had joint.”

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

  37. @K you one ugly ass mofo

  38. @jskeelo yo that was way back when trey songz was still underground and could come up with some dope ass deep shit, now he only into that pop n music for bitches shit ya dig

  39. @ff that’s why I’m your daddy nigga. Tell that heaux I want some cheese eggs, I think u call her mom tho…..*shrugs*

  40. People always go to Trey Songs. What about Neyo , Dream , Jerimah , Lloyd , Robin thick , John Legend and Rapheal Saadiq etc… The Trey songs card is to predictable. Im just sayin

  41. ^
    True John Legend or The-Dream would be dope.
    Trey Songz = guaranteed radio play

  42. We Don’t Want, Well. . . I Don’t Want Cole To Pull A “DeAndre Way”. I’ve Watched Cole Progress Since The Come Up & Ever Since He Was Therapist. Cole Has A Degree In Communications, He Knows What The Hell He’s Doing. The Re-Up Of In The Morning With Drake? People FUCKKINN’ Loved That Shit. It Got RADIO Play! If You’re An Up & Coming Artist Like Cole Is, You Want A Big Mainstream Artist. It’s Success For Cole Simple As That. Songz Is Arguably The Biggest Mainstream Artist Right Now. Cole’s Setting Himself Up For Pure Success. You Might Think It’s Gunna Flop Because His Verse On Keri’s Song Wasn’t His Hardest, But I Mean, It Was A Topic Cole’s Not Used To. Cole’s Songz Feature = Mainstream Success

  43. Trey Songz is sexy and will make your girl want to smash J. Cole. He needs a female audience too.

  44. Should have worked with Miguel again!!!!

  45. @kandy that was a good collab

  46. why yall talkin about sellin records most of us download the album and stop hatin if yall haters aint gettin paid to hate…

  47. @k nigga i prolly fucked yo bitch with a louis vuitton condom nigga what the fuck is up, lookin all sad n shit like ya hatin yo life n shit in that pic like someone done ate yo fucking cheerios or some shit nigga that shit aint wavy nigga step yo shit up dont nobody wanna see that shit nigga

  48. Yo I just hope whatever he drops he does another song apologizing for going to college

  49. By doing a track wit Trey songs , he will get radio play. So thats cool , I understand that move but honestly hes been getting radio play for the last 6 months. Hes signed to Rocnation , he has a song with Jay z and Keri Hilson and Miguel and he has Tv and Radio connections. So he dont have to worry about Radio play cause hes locked in nationwide. I hope he focuses on making timeless material more so then 1st week sales.

  50. @ The Delorean Driver

    The way I see it, J. Cole should have at least 5 radio friendly songs/features that are getting steady play close to his album release.
    Cole needs to prove to the fans, the haters, the mainstream, the middle of the road hip hop listener, to the critics, to the magazines, to television, etc, etc, etc that he is marketable and the real deal.
    Of course I want to hear something deep and I want to hear something lyrical, but most of all I just want success for J. Cole.

    The content will be in his CD, but nobody but the bloggers will know that unless he has the ability to market himself.

  51. @jojoba

    is that sarcastic or what?

    i think cole is so dope cause he speaks for the college kids, who come in abundances

  52. ey. this nigga is boring

  53. Damn y’all dudes doubting the chosen one?
    Don’t y’all know anything cole touches is fire?
    Watch y’all gonna b riding his dick when u hear this shit on the radio

  54. ha peace 2 da god ghost, if my nigga ghost cosigning the homie cole then you know hes a real nigga

  55. @Kurupted Mind aint nobody riding dicks , you callin J cole the chosen 1 ? Do you know how many people have come threw the music business and been successful at a level higher than J cole and did in half the time its taking him? Chosen 1. PLEASE.

  56. i cracked up at that too

    “‘yo whattup to that nigga J Coles! Ya know the god a fan! I been peepin the kid since that Best I Ever Had joint.’

    HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA”

  57. you guys sound stupid if you think that having trey songz on your album is a BAD thing. lupe had trey songz on The Cool the track “Blackout” look it up there wasn’t any selling out going on there.

  58. hows this guy still on his debut album… drop an album already dickhead. #hiphop is dead

  59. cool, looking forward to hearing this music.

  60. i think he should drop the album in April
