Aye, it sure is. Not many debutants on a major gets to do that.Apparently he had a hand in every track on the album, additional instrumentation, arrangements etc. One talented mahfuckka and I only see him getting better.

And a bunch of mixtapes. Let's all hop off the Cole bandwagon & stop making up facts."The Warm Up" & "Friday Night Lights" are not mixtapes; like 50's. Those are two street albums he put two-three verses & hook on every song. He made all those songs like he would album songs. They weren't some 50 bar freestyles.Quote from: Chamillitary Click, literally. on September 26, 2011, 09:03:46 AMThey changed the game, but they were freestyles. No more, no less.So in other words.....50 Cent had the career of Crooked I before GRODT? Well Crooked I put a lot more effort in it than 50 Cent. Most of Crooked I's verses we hear would of been album material. 50 Cent just made some freestyles.

I don't think I've ever heard something from J. Cole, not sure... but if I were to listen for the 1st or 2nd time to J. Cole, how would I like this album?
Something happened out here today that has never happened to me before. I went to HMV to pick the album up and got this response "Sorry, we're sold out. You're like the 10th person to come in here since we sold out."Wow.

I get paid every Friday so I usually wait until Friday to buy my CDs but I wanted this so I went today and it was sold out. Ive never had that happen to me before. The chick at the counter said pretty much the same thing. Had to reserve a copy for when they come in.
A couple of reviews I foundThis one is very on point in my opinionhttp://bigghostnahmean.blogspot.com/2011/09/big-ghost-review-for-cole-world.htmlThis one is funny as hell (for hyping Cole up like he's something great)http://www.rapreviews.com/archive/2011_09_coleworld.html
^In all seriousness, outside of his serious dislike for Drake's music, P Tone gives the most real reviews. He keys in on the flaws people just want to overlook, but are the same people who will say it about some other rapper they aren't feeling.I read his review all the way through, although fucking hilarious, he does raise some good points. His hook game sounds the same & for the most part weak throughout the album, the production was, for the most part, a miss & that "lamest bar:" thing he did at the end of each song was great. It's kind of like, if I told you I like Lil' Wayne's music, you guys would be like "He's fucking awful. One of the worst rappers. He has lines like, "insert corny Wayne punchline". But this "great rapper", J. Cole, just gets to say lines just about equally as bad at least once a song & it's like, "Oh, it's okay".
