    I wonder why cole didnt just sign back with Columbia Records. My guess is, it had to do with money and Dreamville being under Interscope. Think he makes Dreamville more money being signed and releasing his s--- under Interscope instead of Columbia. Im not no expert on this industry s---, but it makes sense.

    Crazy how he did all of that after his most successful album. I wonder how much say ib had in Cole's career before he officially became his manager, cause mark pitts was his manager .

    Not bad, firmly cements him as third behind drake and Kendrick basically as he's been the past 5 yrs (sales wise)

    Interscope seems to be doing a better job with promotion too. Cole having his music being played during the NBA playoffs is big

    idk, he had some good promo with columbia imo, especially with FHD. their promo for this album has been good so far, idk what they was doing with 4 your eyez only.

    some of this s--- i think is all cole doing, i think maybe he just didnt want to over promote 4 your eyez only.
