    I’m just joking. No disrespect at all. Ya gotta push boundaries. Nothing is off limits to joke about. It’s all about context :jordan:

    If I am correct, I see Cole is the only one performing on July 3 in Milwaukee. No one else is performing on Sunmerfest that day. I could legit see him dropping an album in June now before that.

    Still bumping 4 Your Eyez Only, it's so many layers to it, and people think it's just about Cole dedicating it to his dead homie's daughter, nah bruh s--- is more than that. It's a dedication to young black men in america, all them kids out here growing up without a father due to street violence or incarceration. Ima defend this album forever, cause I get it. Since the 90's n----s been rapping about killing, drugs, degrading women, like all that s--- is keeping n----s down for real. Pac the goat, but even i will admit he got caught up in that s---. Ville Mentality is basically Pac bruh. That was that man demise. "n----- play me never, give up my chain never, show em my pain never!!" Thats why that man died at 25.. When Pac got out of prison, his whole thing was to ride on everybody he felt tried to do him harm or play him, and show n----s he was bout it. What Pac do the night he got shot in Vegas? Stumped a n----- out over a chain bruh. What that n----- come back and do? retaliated for them disrespecting him. Im just using Pac as a example, but that's really the mentality of a lot of n----s out here. Pac was the poster child for young black men in 90s america, and still til this day.

    Aint nobody putting it down like Cole dawg, yall better appreciate this s---... aint nobody did it like Cole before. He is basically telling n----s it's alright to show love, it's alright to show your pain, you aint got to act hard 24/7, it's okay to love your woman.

    n----s sleep

    No one ever doubted the message. Dude had a great concept. Music is more than just a message tho. It wasn’t there sonically for him.

    I like the album sonically , the main thing i seen people complain about was it was too laid back, wasnt no hype tracks, but me personally i appreciate that s---, everything aint got to be no trap beat type s--- for me. I love that type of music, but can also appreciate some jazzy type s---. Plus cole gave us that with FHD, thats why i dont get why some cant just appreciate 4YEO sound. that's just the age we live in, everything got to be turnt up. hopefully this next album he come with the slapping beats, and the message. put all that s--- together plus his growth since FHD. We getting FHD x10

    There’s gotta be openers though. I’m going to see him in Miami in May and hoping he has a new album by then.

    Drake is like a calculated politician who panders and caters to certain folks when the “time is right” and trends are in. Like Hillary when it came to gay marriage. She was against it till 2013. She saw the polls were trending towards marriage equality and she hopped on board with it. She’s not principled by any means. She hops on board with what’s in and tries to pander to people in empty ways. Like when she said Pokémon-Go to the polls to try to get young people out to vote. Ugh, so lame.

    Not to say the new Drake song is awful. It’s got a positive vibe and energy. I just know what he’s going for and it’s pretty deliberate. It’s not organic. It’s just manufactured and trendy.

    Lmao how you think dude is the hottest artist in the game since 2009? Artist with the greatest longevity in hip hop history, maybe music in general? Of course s--- is calculated. That's a rare gift. If it's that easy everyone would move like that. I doubt you will see ever again an artist that will duplicate Drake numbers over a span of 10 years. Greatest crossover artist to ever walk this earth.
