Cole World sells 115,000 copies first day??

[K.Dub]

J. Cole can't hold down an album by himself. How many songs are there about girls? He's shown himself to be limited as fuck as a lyricist. They aren't bad songs, but the same shit over and over again gets old fast and makes nothing stand out.

he just held his own damn debut down by himself

And it disappointed, hence why he can't hold down an album by himself. Duh?

Yeah, well that's your opinion isn't it?

No shit, just like every other post in this thread. Just like your own posts. If you single out my post to point that out, you're butthurt.

I'm not. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, can't force this album in somebody's ears. I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm just saying dude held his his own damn debut down; producing most of it himself and (not that I know anything about numbers) selling pretty good without a huge single and _loads_ of features.

yeah well that's your opinion isn't it? lol face it you just want to debate this.

I'd rather he not have produced most of this album and gotten some more distinctive beats. I'd also rather he diversify his lyrical content. If you're a fan who's heard his other shit, this is gonna sound like another one of his mixtapes.

How can facts be my opinion?
His beats are nothing spectacular, but it fits his style and I like it <- THAT is my opinion. Also, his tapes are great and are built almost like albums so what's not to like for a fan?

That sums up Cole.

Yep. 100%.

It's not fact that he "held down an album." Maybe literally if you want to be an ass, but I have to assume you are familiar with colloquialisms. What is fact is that you brought up his numbers as if it was supposed to be some kind of counter argument.  

I like Cole's beats. But as you yourself said, they are nothing spectacular. When his beats fill up an entire album, it makes the whole thing boring. Similarly, I can listen to one song he's made about girls or finally getting signed and dig it. But listening to him say the same thing over and over again on every track is repetitive and that's not holding an album down*

Fair enough, I can respect that.

161,576 with 54% in, good for Cole, but I'm not feeling the album much

That review you posted today is exactly what I've been saying. Only difference is he spends the first half of his review kissing J. Cole's ass to downplay the actual review.

Yeah, and like I said; review is pretty much on point. From what I read, he spends the first part talking about his expectation and that explotion comparison is very precise.

J. Cole's made it to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard. That's pretty good considering he doesn't have much radio play...

And from a e-mail I got from Cole's people it sold 217,000 copies in it's first week...
