Ain’t no way this j coles car

no way this his final album

the narratives being created cus he has .4 million less streams on spotify

I think the point is that it’s the car that he was whipping while he was coming up, probably just using it for this tour

I signed my record deal on February 24th, 2009. I had just turned 24. That date is easy for me to remember because it’s the day before the birthday of one of my closest friends and business partner, Ibrahim Hamad. That day, we both took an elevator way up to the fancy office of a high-end entertainment law firm housed in a New York city high-rise. Far from what I would have imagined, the actual moment of signing the contract was relatively unremarkable. Ib and I sat in a small, quiet conference room across from an associate of my fancy new lawyer. The mountain of papers in front of him included multiple copies of a record deal that I never actually read. The associate pointed at the area of each page that needed my signature, and when all the copies were signed, Ib and I probably dapped each other up and said some s*** like, “Aight my dawg. Let’s get it.” With empty pockets, we hopped in the dented black Honda Civic and slid down to the Lower East Side of Manhattan to celebrate at a bar with some of our homeboys. RJ was in town, Mike Rooney was there, Proof fell through, Ted and Elite showed up. The sun was going down and the happy hour crowd was filling in. There was a surreal feeling that came with having just officially signed to Jay-Z. The man was a mythical figure to me that I had only met one time a few months prior. Friends would congratulate me and follow it up with a “Nigga!!! How you feeling?!!” I imagine that the thought of one of their homies getting a deal with somebody we all idolized had to be mind blowing. But the truth was that the enormous level of excitement I felt was somehow subdued by the amount of focus I knew I had to have for my ultimate mission. I came to New York 6 years earlier on a partial scholarship with one ridiculous goal in mind: to one day sit in the same seat that Jay and a only a handful of other rappers previously sat. Signing to one of my biggest inspirations was an unexpected blessing, but even on that beautiful night of celebration I understood it was just one giant-step towards something much more far fetched..

J. Cole, Players Tribune 2020

Ngl haven't kendrick and TDE been doing this for like 10+ years in compton regardless of album promo cycles

JID would have been fire on bunce road blues

no they do a yearly concert for charity

damn that nigga do be wearing the 2xl hoodie like he say

Rocky also has the storyline around him that he hasn't dropped anything for 8 years and has had people wanting music from him all that time, while cole has dropped music a lil more consistently.

regardless these are all Blog era people, why s*** on one to try to elevate another? (in reference to that thread made) these are our high school memories

I think cole ducking the beef definitely hurt his image in the long run after these low numbers which sucks cause the album is really good

I was responding to the post saying "this is what separates him from everyone else" like turning up in your hometown is something exclusive to J cole

i swear people just love arguing and feeling righteous about anything in a sports sort of way they'll be like ASAP ROCKY HAD .4 MORE MILLION STREAMS AAAHHAAAAAHHHH like what?

who gives af

this s*** might be a 9

They act like they seeing any money from any of this s*** lmao

Perfect kind of thing to stream in today's world but Cole gonna Cole

Damn I need one
