Support NeoGAF

[hyduK]

Someone is probably making him put that Drake track on the album tbh.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Cole released a few free "mini mixtapes" over the course of summer. Here are the links to those:
Any Given Sunday #1
Any Given Sunday #2
Any Given Sunday #5

I have to check these out.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Seeing a 26 year old man in a letter jacket in a high school locker room is just silly. The title is silly too.

Still, his mixtapes were great so I'm interested in this.

 

[overcast]

This was a dope track released before the summer. Check it out if you haven't.
Return of Simba

 

[MMaRsu]

I cant wait, Cole is that new hotness

 

[LightOfTruth]

Cant fucking wait!

 

[near]

Will support.

 

[TheKaeptain]

The AGS #1 mix tape is good.

 

[Recon]

My most anticipated release of the year.

 

[overcast]

Yeah AGS #1 is the best imo. They are all pretty good. They are basically just B sides anyway. Album should be better for sure.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I can't believe I had no idea his album was finally coming out.

 

[enzo_gt]

The GIFs in this thread are killing me.

But yeah, I would have to say all the Any Given Sundays are good. #5 is some dope shit especially. Are we getting one today though?

Hyped for this album, I've outlined my fears before but I truly believe Cole can put out something memorable here as long as he combines the lyrical fidelity on Friday Night Lights to the topics I give a shit about on The Warm Up most of the time. From the look of the tracklist and the song's from it that leaked out, that's probably going to be the case.

COLE WORLD
NO KRIT OR YELA

 

[yencid]

definitly buying this shit. I have all of J.coles mixtapes and i feel that he is one of the best new rappers. I like that he doesnt always rap about the same shit. return of simba and Lost Ones are probably my favorite of his.

 

[Uno Venova]

one of his best.

I believe we are done with the AGS now. Heavy is my shit though.

Funny thing is some will complain he raps about the same stuff all the time. I agree with you on this.

 

[yencid]

Oh and lets not forget his verse in Looking for trouble. That verse makes that song

 

[FairyD]

I loved Friday night lights. I have no doubt this will be a great album.

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

I liked Friday Night Lights after PD recommended it to me, might check this out when it comes out(or when it eventually leaks)

 

[wenis]

Is he still referring to himself as a disney character? yep...


lame ass mother fucker.

i will cut you.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Wenis is just hating.

 

[Nobility]

My hype is at maximum capacity.

Cole World!

Based off the two leaked songs so far and Can't Get Enough, I think Cole does have a classic in his hands. Will avoid In The Morning though, one of the few songs I did delete when I got Friday Night Lights. Work Out is growing on me, so it stays for now.

First album in years I am going in store to buy.

Cole better post something good for this week's AGS, 2 more weeks left after this.

 

[Stat Flow]

Sorry, but

 

[DominoKid]

4. "Lights Please"
9. "In the Morning" (featuring Drake)

What the fuck?

motherfucker trying to make some money. Drizzy Da Gawd is responsible for Cole's hottest single yet.

also:

lol

 

[Recon]

Sorry, but

Cant Get Enough isnt bad for what it is. Shit is a necessary evil if you plan to ever sell more than 150k first week.

 

[Nobility]

Sorry, but

No where near his best, but exactly what he needs for the release, far better song than Work Out for a single. Cole wanted a Big Pimpin' vibe and he got it.

 

[wenis]

i will cut you.

Come at me bro. I'll use Cole's stone wall face to block any forward attacks (and rhianna's huge forehead will guard the rear).

Wenis is just hating.

Not at all, I loved Friday Night Lights, but seriously...he needs to stop calling himself Simba. I'll never take him seriously if he keeps calling himself one of the lamest fucking disney characters (notice how I said lame character and not lame movie).

Made some alternate album art for you guys:

 

[spindashing]

That is the best shit ever.

 

[kamspy]

I'm gonna go with Wenis' art.

 

[enzo_gt]

Oh and lets not forget his verse in Looking for trouble. That verse makes that song

I really think Ye only put Cole on that shit because people kept begging on his twitter for that shit.

Cole over Ye production is something, I really, really want, but can't see happening.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I eagerly await his sophomore release on E1 Records

I co-sign this. Cole over Ye production is nasty...Cole's production still sounds a little amateur although I like it, especially since he try to have that Kanye sound.

 

[Recon]

I personally like New Cole production over new kanye production.

 

[Cudder]

Hyped as fuck for this. Dude gets better with every mixtape and every album track I've heard I love. I don't see how I could be disappointed with this, really.

 

[DominoKid]

yeah he's the sweet n low kanye.

 

[kodecraft]

I personally like New Cole production over new kanye production.

New Cole production is reminiscent of Old Kanye production...MBDTF type production is ace, not WTT.

 

[kodecraft]

I personally think a mixtape from J. Cole after this album is going to be "cray". Friday night Lights will probably be better than Cole World: The Sideline Story, and I am a Cole fan.

 

[kodecraft]

yeah he's the sweet n low kanye.

In a way, yes. Watered down Kanye production.

 

[_illmatic_]

Haven't heard any leaks, wanna check out the album in full once it drops. I'm hoping its dope. Enjoyed the mixtapes but didn't really care for the singles.

 

[toastyToast]

Pretty hyped for this even though I haven't bumped any Cole at all this year.

 

[reKon]

60% of gaf hop is going to be eating crow when once the album drops (via leak or by whatever means).

 

[Byakuya769]

Gaf hop doesn't like Cole?

 

[Recon]

Not really. Im not hearing a bunch of old samples from Cole. That was pretty much Kanyes bread and butter.

Gaf hop doesn't like Cole?

They loved him when The Warm Up and Friday Night Lights dropped, but then because of a few singles, they all turn on him.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

If I get around to this, wenis' cover is definitely what I'll use.

 

[spindashing]

I eagerly await his sophomore release on E1 Records

Damn.

 

[wenis]

60% of gaf hop is going to be eating crow when once the album drops (via leak or by whatever means).

Pretty sure there is no crow to be eaten...No one dislikes him, but some are wary of the direction he's heading.

 

[kodecraft]

Not really. Im not hearing a bunch of old samples from Cole. That was pretty much Kanyes bread and butter.

You have a point. Alot of Cole's samples are subtle but he does use them....drums for instance, its not all about vocal samples.

 

[Discotheque]

lol at the simba cover. He should use that. And seriously why does he refer to himself as that little boy lion?

I'd go with Mufasa, or going by his teeth....one of the hyenas.

 

[painey]

and gary coleman just passed. life is short.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Mufasa is Jay-Z. Which makes sense because Jay-Z the Rapper died when Cole was still a kid.
