J. Cole's Debut Reaches #1 On Charts, Sells Over 217K Units

Some people say Meek Mill Rookie of the year?1 NAH J.COLE HANDS DOWN!!!!Ohio Stand Up!Stalley know what he doing! He fuckin wit da BOSS hisliyrics go perfect wit this track.$REALI just pre ordered WaLes' album @ boskonio.blogspot.com bout to be cracc MMG

that in the morning track really helped his sales I think, everyone at my school is still on that song hard.

I just copped this album today from best buy. Its a GOOD album, but its not great, and I think J.cole has the potential to be great. My favorite song by far is Dollar And A Dream 3. People shouldn't act like J.cole is unknown, yall forget when he dropped Friday Night Lights he shut down servers and websites and shit. He has been on numerous tours also, he is well known. As far as all this talk about comparing his sales too other artist, and him bragging or not bragging that shits irrelevant too me. If you listen too him in interviews he is very humble so if he makes one twit that may come off as him bragging after he worked hard and watched his dreams come true that's nothing to trip about. But everyone is entitled too there opinion. I just like good music. Hopefully his sophomore album will be great I think he still has alot of room to improve as a producer. Honestly I want to hear him on some Kanye beats or another dope producer.

Guess how many records were purchased by the company? Guess how many fans don't know what true albums sounds like? Everyone I've talked to that listened to this nigga's LP says the same thing: It's a bunch of songs that go from party records to straight bullshit and it's not a cohesive album. Niggas rarely make a friggin album. I've never been a believer of this cat anyway. Makes me none. Still... I'm glad he's eating legitimately and not contributing to the ills of society.

I'll bet he woulda gone Triple Aluminum if Baby hadn't bought 200,000 albums

the funny thing is he could of sold those units without the soft radio singles. dont call me a hater i bought the album, but only really a handful of tracks, dont get it fooled j cole has the potential to be great, but the aggressive emotional pac/nas shit was almost all the way left out the album.

Hiphopdx is funny as hell be happy for him hes a nice artist what he eat dont make you shit, so love him or not. i like the change in the game. when its all said and done j.cole will be remebered as a great artist.

People on this website take things too seriously. All the J.Cole fans are mad, all the naysayers are mad. You people are really arguing over shit that will never change anyone's opinion. Why do I even bother?

Why can Hip Hop fans not be happy that J Cole gave the Hip Hop culture another #1 album. He beat out Blink 182, showing that Hip Hop is still the most popular music art form. I am happy for the dude, he WORKED for what he wanted, be it 218k or more. He stayed honest to himself not trying to be something he is not and gave the culture great music. All the hating is crazy. As for people talking about sales, yes sales matter. They show that people went out and purchased the album. However, they do not depict the quality of the album. For those saying Lil Wayne album is better than J Cole's because it sold more, that is just poor logic.

Actually very surprised he beat out blink, considering it was there reunion album and everything... Good for him!
