J. Cole’s debut album has been in the making for years, and it doesn’t appear he’s ready to commit to a release date.
“I know my fans are frustrated with me, because I won’t give a date,” said Cole in an interview with pressofatlanticcity.com.
“I only gave a date one time in my career last year, and I smacked myself in the face because it was so unrealistic. Now I say it’s coming soon, and it’s really true, because we’re in the final stages right now.”
“I think of my own expectations and my pressure on myself,” he added, while describing his album as “heavy” and “emotional.” “I don’t worry about what the world wants me to do. I’m worrying about meeting my expectations.”
Cole also described his relationship with Jay-Z, which fell in line with previous accounts that Hov allows his artists to make their own way. “He’s definitely a mentor,” said Cole. “I just appreciate the fact that he lets me learn and grow on my own. When I need information, I can come to him.”

Why are j.cole’s “fans” so obsessed with drake? I can’t read one comment from a j.cole fan without them mentioning drake. on some scorned woman shit. Do yall even like cole for real or are you just spiting drake like a jealous ex? 80% of j.coles fans arent even j.cole fans theyre just drake haters. I feelbad for cole.
80% of j. cole fans arnt even j. cole fans, u r dumb as fuk
rappers will always be compared 2 other rappers.

dude is with the wrong label point blank (nobuzz)
been waiting forever for this but this will still remain at the top of my list to buy
First off im a true j cole fan and i dont see not even the slightest comparison between him and drake they are in way different lanes drake is drake and J cole is great simple as that hands down j cole is the best rapper alive he has unlimited potential its scary
Agreed. He’s more comparable to Jon Connor.
“the best rapper alive he has unlimited potential its scary”
^^^You could actually say the same for Connor.
He is very good, but nowhere near the best alive.
LOL, shut the fuck up…. J Cole is cool but the best alive? You’ve gotta be kidding. I could give you 100 better artists than him alive right now.
go on youtube or any rap site and damn near every comment by a j.cole fan revolves around drake.

This album is becoming another detox, when it comes to the release. I’ll believe it when I see it at retail stores.
Come on Cole! ! Been waitin on this since the The Warm-Up. . Please drop the albummm. . Deadass this is the only thing I’m looking forward to in Hip-Hop, after this theres nothing. Lupe Flopped with Lasers. . Best album all year was saigons
hahaha @ saigon
pharoahe monch has the best album of 2011 so far
red album
j. cole album
jay electronica album
detox
a wu tang album??
2011 will hopefully be a sik year for hiphop
Pharoahe’s album was mediocre by his standards, was an 8 at best. Saigon’s LP was brilliant, not one skipable track on the entire thing, it’s at least a 9 in my books thus the best album of the year so far.
LOL at Pharoah Monch’s LP being the best in any year. That LP was so disappointing it didn’t make any sense. It was so short of awful, especially how it was getting pushed back for him to continue working on it.
And this nigga Cole…he’s never going to drop his LP. He’s overhyped and average at best. It’s a reason why he’s not dropped yet…and it’s not because he’s “perfecting his craft” or “really penning some intricate classics daily”. Dude is mad average.
atmosphere family sign album of the year
This album aint coming out until the last bit of his hype dies. Yall really think Jayz is gonna let somebody else try to take his shine? The only artists Jayz is gonna let release albums are his pop/r&b artists.
Can’t want till this shit drops
Cole is a brilliant all round artist and some what a perfectionist, I would rather wait another 10 years for him to get this LP to the level it should rather than him rush it out straight away like half the niggas in the game today.
people say that but i bet you would have said that about dr. dre 10 years ago too.. now everyone complaining that hes taking to long…
fans love to use this silly “perfectionist” line as a bad excuse. I don’t think this delay was brought on becauase he’s a perfectionist. Cole himself said it was ready back in november… its obviously more than that.
