    Cole is no doubt one of the most well rounded, consistent rappers of the past 17 years to be honest. In terms of introspective songs, radio songs, relatability, ability as a live performer and commercial success he's probably the best with Kanye, Hov, Drake and Kenny.

    "Writers and media people — a lot of white folks, let’s be honest — look at rappers almost like they’re cartoon characters or super heroes."

    Nailed it. I've seen so many instances of critics, bloggers and forum folks who think this way. And some rappers try to manufacture styles and images to specifically cater to those groups instead of just just focusing on making music.

    Critic and blogger bait music. Just like certain movies are made to win at award shows.

    Isn't it the venue providers' decision on what to charge?

    I don't know why, I just have a feeling that Cole will drop something new before the tour.

    He won't struggle to sell tickets, just not sure whether this album will be that great in an arena

    120 a year is worth it to stream if you're really a music fan like that.
    it's awesome, i just go to apple music and find whatever came out.

    edit:wrong message to reply to but you get the point

    i recommened everyone see GET OUT
    best movie i've seen in a LONG time, (like years)

    it has thriller, horror, comedy, suspense, social commentary and it is blended beautifully.
    it really is a genius movie.

    i can't get over it

    Same. I got lower level for $89.50 at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Section 112. Not bad at all.

    The VIP prices are a whole different story.
