No LeCrae love?

That J. Cole and Kendrick album will be half great, half J. Cole.

I like Kendrick releasing a lot of stuff, but don't see him and Cole working well together. Maybe he'll bring out the best in him?

Tell me more. Never listened.

Hope J. Hudson's family gets some closure now that the killer is guilty.

His mixtape dropped this week ("Church Clothes"). Don Cannon put it down nicely as usual and he has a mean 9th wonder beat on there. Sickest collab is his track with No Malice.

Dat Piff mixtape download

"Church Clothes" music vid that dropped this week

song sounds good. grabbin the tape. thanks!

lame! coulda sworn a month or 2 back Wiz said Tyler The Creator was gonna be on his next album

J. Cole is filthy what are you talking about

He's as average as they come, his album was a snoozefest. He's post-The Black Album Jay-Z lite.

Do not understand these J. Cole opinions. Cole World was my most listened to and prob fav album of the year

"There’s a joint on there called ‘Form Follows Function’ that is a monster. It’s a monster. Nobody’s fucking with that, I just put that out there. Any other records I give other rappers and musicians, you could possibly do a better song than those. But ‘Form Follows Function,’ rappers ain’t fucking with that. That’s how good it is. I’m not being egotistical or anything. You just can’t fuck with that."

Damn Lupe!

:shrug: i thought it was real good.
