After J. Cole scored a number one debut with Cole World: The Sideline Story, his Roc Nation boss Jay-Z has congratulated his signee. In a press released, Hov showed love for the Fayetteville, North Carolina native with a few kind words.
“J. Cole’s success is testament to amazing artist development and Cole’s hard work,” said Jay-Z in a statement. “I want to congratulate him on a #1 album and more importantly a great body of work.”
Cole’s manager, Mark Pitts, also congratulated the rapper for his achievement. “J. Cole personifies humility and grace with edge and depth. As an MC, his point of view speaks to and represents me. I’m proud and blessed to be a part of his journey!” added Pitts, who is also President of Urban Music, Sony / JIVE Records and CEO, Bystorm Entertainment.
The “Work Out” 
rapper recorded a video message while backstage to thank everyone for the support. “I had to say thank you very much to everybody, to the fans, to all the magazines, blogs, BET, MTV, the label, Roc Nation, Columbia, my management, my DreamVillain team. Number one album in the country, I can’t believe it. It doesn’t make sense, but it does,” he said.

” J.Cole’s success is testament to amazing artist development and Cole’s hard work ”
Damn Jay , you shouldn’t have dropped out of High School, Aint too late to go back tho !
doesnt the samrt man get the doe…oh my bad you replied on your pc in your corner office on the 22nd floor where your g.e.d. and 400 s.a.t. scored framed on the wall sucker foo!!!
damn do you guys really need like 4 different articles about this guy going number 1? cant you consolidate that shit into one?

STFU
Hater go suck on your grandma’s nipples
someones mad that he got the #1 SPOT

FUCK THESE CLOWNS!!!!! WAYNE & DRAKE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>GAY-Z & GAY.COLE
WEEZY DA KING!!!
Faggot!!! Yo, mudascums like you posting all over the site talking shit, need the taste smack the fuck outta ya mouth! Heating up the comments, best hope your ass ain’t have no seizure!!! Mudacunt!!!
YADIG YOU WILL DIE A FAGGOT!!!!!!!! J. COLE SHITTING ON LIL’ DRAKE RIDING HOOD AND LIL BABY KISSER
Idgaf about Cole world, Rick Ross “god forgives, I dont” is more than an album title its a statement. The boss of hip hop is letting niggas know that he’s playing for keeps this time around. Jeezy, 50 and any other faggot motherfuckers that wanna pop shit, will get their career ended. Ross is the real deal holyfield a fucking crack kingpin/ true poet that makes orgasm inducing music. #watchthethronemmg
“Ross is the real deal holyfield a fucking crack kingpin/ true poet that makes orgasm inducing music”
This is where I figured it had to be sarcasm.
Jay Z trying to save face talking about amazing artist development, when he know he dropped the ball and waited too long to drop Cole World. Jigga knows that Cole should have came out around the same time as Drake and did bigger numbers than Drake. Jay isn’t a good executive, like Michael Jordan. There good at being the star, but can’t make stars. Cole should have just signed to Columbia straight, because Jigga messed over his star power.
you’re delusional
Ya internet A&Rs still here? Ya took an big ass L, no top 10 single or gimmick just a kid with good rapping skills and #1 album. It don’t matter if he didn’t sold as much as those YM artists, they can’t make a dope album.
THA CARTER IV: CLASSIC, COLE WORLD: TRASH!! GET IT RIGHT NIGGA! YM MAKE NOTHIN BUT GREAT RECORDS!!!!
@YADIG ; great records? such as? im waiting? bluntblowing? HAHAHA!! Abortion? HAHAHA!! How to love? HAHAHA!! How to hate? HAHAHA I can go on and on and on…
COLE WORLD SUCKA!!
Carter IV is a classic? I chuck that up to bad taste. The Sideline Story is trash? You can’t be serious. I don’t think you’ve heard the album. The least you can describe it as is decent. The least!
YEA NIGGA HE GOT CLASSIC RECORDS!!! SOMETHING YOU FORGOT, LA LA LA, PRAY TO THE LORD, HUSTLER MUSIK, RECEIPT, LET’S TALK IT OVER, SPORTS CENTER, I MISS MY DAWGS, TIE MY HANDS, DR.

Open your fucking eyes dickwads, 12/13/11 should be marked on your calendars; “god forgives, i don’t” (swag!!!!) The boss of the hip hop game/ crack game is gonna continue to drop heat rocks on dat ass!!!!! Rick Ross is a master rapper, skills unmatched, authenticity uncontested. Real street shit spit over high class quality production. J.cole, jay-z, lil Wayne, nas, big l (Rip), biggie (rip), AND tupac (rip) cannot be mentioned in the same convo as rozay. How can niggas not see this? #bestrapperaliveresidesincarolcity
I honestly can’t tell if this is a joke or not.
You smoking crack or you just attracted to Ross without his shirt on? fucking lame.
This here is proof enough that this dude is the most waited on, anticipated on and most hated on. Congrats Cole! This one’s a banger. LOL!
BY THE WAY PROPS TO THE CAMEL FOR BUYING HALF OF ALBUMS!!!! THAT’S A NICE BOSS!!
Do you have evidence to support your claim. If not, gtoh.
GTFOH
YOU GOT PROOF HE DIDN’T?? DIDN’T THINK SO, DOES JAY-Z AND J.COLE KISS ON THE LIPS???? FUCK NO!!! ONLY REAL RAPPING BLOODZ DO THAT SHIT, BABY AND WAYNE GAY, SO WHAT ? GO RUB A BALD HEAD WIT A STAR ON IT…….BITCH
real bloods dont kiss and baby did the same thing with wanye he bought like 500,000 of his albums
if jay bought them then why would we not just buy a million hes got the money to
Who said Hip-Hop is dead??
September: Cole World: The Sideline Story
October: Take Care
November: Ambition
I’m not a fag, but I do feel that ross’s tats are like the sistine chapel of tats (in the rap game) he has marijuana leaves on his hands money signs all over, his tats are elaborate and respectable. And speaking of crack, did I mention that he is the crack king? His mmg roster is sick also wale#lyricalgiant, pill#swaggedtothebrim, meek mill#goatpotential. How can ross lose? Get hip or get run over by the empire #rozaystaywinning
SHUT UP BOY!! HOW YOU COMIN ON THIS PAGE TALKIN BOUT ROSS, IF AIN’T BOUT WAYNE GTFOH, LIL WAYNES TATS WAY BETTER GOT PIC OF BABY AND JAY-Z VERSES HOW YOU GONNA FUCK WIT THAT
LIL WAYNE TOUNGE KISSING BABY IN THE MOUTH>>>>>THAN YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST
And could I be a star?
Does fame in this game have to change who you are?
Or could I be the same one who came from a far away life
Just to make it in this broadway lights
Now I’m shinin in the broad, day-light – go figure
A slow transition from a lil’ broke nigga from the ‘Ville
Got a deal, a real life saver
Dreams of being behind the wheel like, Jada
I chill now, cop a lil’ ice later
Cole, you got a glow like a lil’ Lightsaber
So, clap for him, then applaud Hov
He gave ’em a platform
Flow so sick thought he wrote the rap for him – no sir
The flow cold as a shoulder of a gold diggin hoes
When a broke nigga ‘proaches
Told ya I’m focused man, I’ll let you muh’fuckers soak it in
Clap for him
One of his best verses. Out shined Hovs verses on that song. I used to fast-forward it to Coles part, no lie.
“Talkin’ bout Baby money? I got your baby money/ Kidnap your bitch, MAKE HER WATCH ME N BABY KISS ON TOP OF money.”
WAYNE KISSING BABY GOOGLE IT, FOR Y’ALL HATERS,
TOP FIVE REASONS TO LOVE WAYNE
1. HE KISSES GROWN ASS MEN
2. HE WEARS SKINNY JEANS
3. USES AUTOTUNE
4. ADMITS SOMEONES THEIR IDOL THEN TRIES TO DISS HIM FOR HIM DISSIN HIS LOVER
5. GOT JAY-Z VERSE TATTED ON HIM
pure trash and fake props
That verse is what put him on the fast track…. His flow, his delivery and his over all lyrical ability far outshined Hov on that track, but i gotta say Jay got him back on Mr. Nice Watch lol THOSE TWO need a callabo album in the future
I can be a man of my word and congratulate j.cole on his numbers. i was the first person to say that he wouldnt do big numbers. i said he would sell 4 copies in his first week and he proved me wrong. im man enough to admit when im wrong. J.Cole handled his business. I am now a big fan of J.Cole after he put up these numbers and on a second listen to his album the kid can flow so now im a huge fan and a big supporter. do ur thang Cole.
ROC NATION bitches
you werent a j.cole fan until you saw he sold albums? fake ass fan, like his music cause you like his music, not cause other people do.
Your are a fuckin loser
nigga, i can tell by your handle that you a lil wayne hater. real niggaz see through your fake ass. you a j cole/rihanna stan acting like you a wayne fan. that’s the new style for haters now, act like you a fan of wayne and try to get people to hate him lol. you ain’t stopping wayne’s shine with that fake shit.
And then he goes on to say…. “ROC NATION BITCHES”
WHATS GOOD MAFUKRS ITS YA BOY AGAIN “YADIG”,, ONE MORE THING FORGOT TO MENTION
LIL WAYNE AND BABY KISSING>>>>THE J.COLE, AND GAY-Z
[GOOGLE IT]
LOOK I KEEP TELLING YOU CLOWNS ROC NATION AIN’T FUCKING WIT YMCMB, I MEAN I KNOW LIL WAYNE SEEMS GAY KISSING BABY AND RUBBIN HIS FIVE STAR BALD HEAD, AND HE WEARS GIRL JEANS AND USES AUTOTUNE BUT DAMN SHOW MY BOY SOME LOVE HE JUST DID A SONG WITH ONE OF THE JONAS BROTHERS THEY GOT A SEX TAPE COMIN OUT I MEAN DAMN,
BABY AND LIL WAYNE KISSING>>>>>JAY-Z FUKIN BEYONCE, ALL I GOT TOO SAY
you bitch ass nigga, silkk the shocker and mos def was fucking beyonce before jigga man. lil wayne fucking bitches that your daddy wishes was your mama, like suge avery. you a clown and a joke for sure. j cole sold 217,000 copies after 2 years of promotion and 4 wack singles, so that’s a fail.
anonymous, ur a dumb ass fag!!!! this nigga didnt have 1 hit single and still managed to sell that after the album leaked a week before its official release more than, sean, wiz did in their first weeks after hits like black and yellow and my last……nigga go suck a dick and die trying…..hater!!!!!
“Talkin’ bout Baby money? I got your baby money/ Kidnap your bitch, MAKE HER WATCH ME N BABY KISS ON TOP OF money.”
WAYNE KISSING BABY GOOGLE IT, FOR Y’ALL HATERS,
TOP FIVE REASONS TO LOVE WAYNE
1. HE KISSES GROWN ASS MEN
2. HE WEARS SKINNY JEANS
3. USES AUTOTUNE
4. ADMITS SOMEONES THEIR IDOL THEN TRIES TO DISS HIM FOR HIM DISSIN HIS LOVER
5. ALL THE ABOVE
if your high school basketball coach, who you looked up to all your life, talked shit about your mom or dad, you would diss his ass too. as for wayne kissing baby, that was some father son type shit, because baby been his father since he was 7 years old. when does using autotune make you a bad rapper. bitch, wayne was doing gangta rap way before you could wipe your ass, so that nigga has earned the right to grow as an artist. you ain’t from new orleans east, you ain’t from eagle street, you wouldn’t survive 3 hours on foot even in kenner, bitch ass coward. next time you try and type some bull shit like lil wayne a homo, go slap your dumb ass grandmother lol.
@RachetGal kissing another man that is not blood is considered GAY. In fact, that sh*t is gay as hell. 2 grown men dont need to be kissing. doesnt matter if Baby raised Wayne for 100 years, they are physically not father & son. they have none of the same Genetics. Get ya mind right. And as far as Wayne Gang banging. in the old cash money videos he was wearing blue rags, now all of a sudden he wearing Red. is he confused? obviously because he’s kissing men & changing gangs
Congrats Cole…its only the beginning!! Big Sean shouted you out on stage last night during a show in Greensboro, NC…loving the way the new breeds are supporting one another and putting out good music..also big ups to NC artists on the rise..Kain, FSM(Jones Andrews, Mecca of Rhynes and Young Rush), Veteran Assassins, Ed E Ruger, CreamTeam, Gav Beats, Kevobeats, Kayo Bracey, Kaze, Shelly B, Kyss and Rem, Celinski, Young Stacks(LGI), Sky Blew and many more, too many to name…hope the industry ready for the NC movement
dat nigga almost got a unibrow
lookin like Al B Sure and shit
al b sure actually was attractive, just like his cousin christopher williams, however, j cole is an ugly mf that looks like a cartoon dog.
Well done J.Cole. Rate this brother. That Sideline Story track is my joint right now! Man produced most his own tracks. More to come in the future. J.Cole over Drake, just to be clear.
it’s too soon, come back in 5 to 10 years.Then we’l know who’s better
boy, you sound crazy as ever. drake made j cole’s album sell an extra 75,000 copies with his feature on “in the morning” lol. stop being a stan and just live a real life.
Drake- “Thats that fake shit, thats that fake shit. That that top row of veneers. Just when they getting impatient. When I make a World premiere.”
The only verse i ever liked of drakes was on forever..past that isnt he a singer? I dont really see a comparison
yall have been clearly corrupted with commercial shit,,,,, yall know nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J. COLE IS THE ONLY REASON HIP-HOP IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!
People need to stop with the irrelevant comparisons between artists
this dude is 50% white ……. 50% black.
You must be 100% black to have our full suport.
IGNORANT!!!
go eat a pork sandwich
kill yourself if you think that comment came from a Black person.
Wrongggggggggggggg!!!! (hollas at michelle obama to “crank up dat dollar and a dream III”)
Fuck that and at that rate fuck wyclef,Lauryn hill and dead prezs white people hatin asses. White hiphop fans love yall black ones rock to plies and wayne. Not hatin shits fact.
Hey anonymous! Look at what the other anonymous said right above you idiot! Now thank your white brother for pulling your own bigotry out of the closet! LOL! Look at how you said fcuk the good ones and said you like the ignorant ones! LOL!
Yeah they know yeah
That the real is on the rise
Fuck them other guys
I even gave them a chance to decide
Now its something they know

J Cole 27 years old and trying to flex a letterman jacket, like he a school boy. He looking like Lamar Odom old ass on his show with Kim Kardashian’s sister lol. Cole, you ain’t a teen or a young man anymore, so be true to what you are, old head.
Nigga you the same age bracket as Juelz and Wayne, trying to compete with young niggaz like Sean, Wiz, B.O.B. and Drake lol.
27 really aint old as far as bra came. if anythings “all these niggas sound like all his children”
So if he was 3 years younger you wouldnt have nothing to say?
i feel you on this nigga being a grown ass man trying to promote himself like he just turned 21. i don’t think kids came before the father neither, that’s backwards to me. you lames is just j cole stans and the truth ain’t in none of you. fake hype about 215,000 sold is a joke. i just left target and his album is in full stock and i don’t hear his shit bumping in cars passing by.
@Ebonicz hey dumb nigga drake is old too cole only older by him by two years
This ebonicz is so dumb they don’t even know people graduate from college in their 30’s, and older people who are alumni and boosters and sports fans still rep their schools and wear their jackets. People don’t care about them small minded fads you worrying about. Real people wear what the f**k they want. because they’re comfortable where they’re at in life.
@EBONICZ Drake is 25 j.cole is 26 dumbass. you have ignorant statements. @ anonymous, Why would Soundscan lie about J.Cole album sales u f*ckin retard. Both yall find something productive to do in life besides hate on people trying to make a livin’.
dude u a fucking ass hole drake is 25 cole is 26 so wats ur point ignorant bitch!!!!
WEEZY ALREADY ICONIC AND HE JUST TURNED 29… GAY.COLE WEAK ASS JUST GETTIN PUT ON AT 27 SMFH… WEEZY ALREADY GOT 9 ALBUMS!!! AND HE A MUTHAFUCKING LEGEND!!!! WAYNE GOT SO MUCH MONEY AND HITS!!! HE’S IS AN AMERICAN ICON!!!
Only a YOUNG CHILD would call a 27yr old an old head. Gotta be 16-19
you sound like you mad because your favorite artist isn’t a 21 year old prodigy. get over it and accept it. he a good rapper, however, he not ahead his time like cats that are younger with more skill. his label tried to give him the image of a young wiz kid, when in fact he a full grown man.
Did you read the comment right underneath me before you replied? I bet you didn’t. because if you did you would have realized I wasn’t speaking about Jermaine Cole.
Glad to see he got the #1, great story of overcoming the odds to find success.
WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT GAY.COLE WEEZY DA BEST!!!! GAY-HOVA BOUGHT HALF THE COPIES!!!

Holy fuck theres so many rappers id rather hear about..
Jay: Congrats.
Cole: Thanks, Man.
Jay: It’s great coz now I don’t have drop you – I’m gonna slave trade your ass and take 75% of your touring & endorsement money… pluss I won 100% of your royalties through your slave 360% venture with Roc Nation.. so….
Cole: …. WOw.
Jay:… er…. YOUNG.
(someone smothers JCole with sleeping gas)
I LOVE LIL WAYNE, I DON’T CARE HE KISS MEN STILL GREATER THAN BEYONCE’S PREGNANT BELLY.
Someone wanna tell why wayne is a iconic cos i just dont get it. He dropped 2 hot albums out of 10 (Carter 2 & 3) Carter 4 is wack and only doing well cos fans had to wait so ling while he was behind bars so now they just dickriding. Cole dropped a dope album already and thats just his debut. I can see him getting bigger than wayne
