    I know some of y'all used to listen to Fashawn back in the day. He's signed to Nas now and is dropping his second album this month.

    There are most likely everyday people who read that magazine who don't listen to Cole though. He's reaching more people and inspiring others who weren't aware of stories like that :idk:

    No way he outsells Drake even if he drops a classic. He's not that big yet but he'll do anything from 400k to 550k imo.

    Well it's gotta be a classic, one of the things we have to factor in is how long everyone's been waiting. I mean it's been a good 2 years. No mixtape, nothing. Drake outsells Kenny no matter what first week, but Kenny's numbers depend HEAVILY on his promotion leading up to release

    I don't know if Cole will ever make a better Intro than FHD's tbh.

    I don't wanna say he can't but I'm not sure either tbh.

    He can probably top it in a different way, but in terms of spoken word/piano/stream-of-consciousness intros, this is probably his peak and I wouldn't mind one bit :idk:

    How would y'all rank Cole's intros?

    For me, I'd say
    1. FHD
    2. FNL
    3. CW:SS
    4. TWU

    Always loved this Fashawn jam, @Lockness. He could've been to at least KRIT status by now if he had the right promo 4-5 years ago

    1. FHD
    2. CW:TSS
    3. FNL
    4. TWU

    I'm probably the only one that think he's gotten better with each Intro. CW:TSS intro is underrated imo.
