Top 7 Reasons To Buy J.Cole’s “Sideline Story”

Read more:

There are a lot of good albums coming out today: Phonte, 9th Wonder, J-Live, Evidence, Van Hunt and J.Cole just to name a few.  After hearing most of them we can honestly say they’re worth the purchase but we feel a sense of urgency to make sure this kid Cole makes a strong debut.  The North Carolina native is Hov’s first signee to Roc Nation so the pressure couldn’t be higher. Here are seven reasons you should cop, Cole World: The Sideline Story. (Check out Cole World here) 7. According to J. Cole, his album only costs “2 number 2 meals at McDonalds,” which is way cheaper than the season passes to the newly minted Brooklyn Nets Jay-Z is currently pushing. 6. One can only listen to Watch The Throne on repeat but so many times. And if you’re running out of space on your iPhone we suggest deleting that copy of “Angry Birds Rio” and the questionable photos from backstage at Rock The Bells. 5. Since Cole produced most of the album himself, there are likely no same-sounding Lex Luger beats. 4. In the first verse on the album, Cole proves that he can rap better than the whole Maybach Music Group combined and NOT ONCE does he use a painfully predictable metaphor like “cole slaw” anywhere on the album. 3.  Unlike Lil Wayne & his The Carter IV , Cole is actually ON the best songs on Cole World: Sideline Story . 2. Since Cole is un-gang-related, you can bump his new joint without fear of getting shot by opposing gang members. 1. If Cole’s album doesn’t do well for RocNation they may never put out the Jay Electronica album. Check out the video to “Daddy’s Little Girl” RELATED POSTS: J.

Former Cavaliers star’s decision to head to the Miami Heat is defended by these artists and more. By Mawuse Ziegbe Lebron James Photo: Kelly Kline/ Getty Images LeBron James’ announcement that he’s taking his formidable skills to the Miami Heat has prompted many in the hip-hip community to voice their opinions via Twitter. When news of the NBA’s star decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the southern team, a few hip-hop tweeters were downright shocked. CNN’s “Lebron Dang man!!!” Detroit MC Big Sean and seemed a trifle upset that the that ‘Bron decided against staying in the Midwest, and added “should of went to the bulls.” Ohio hip-hop stars like Bow Wow had nothing but e-love for James. “People kill me hating on somebody making decisions to better THEY life,” . “Let them millions be in yo face You’ll go to Singapore and play GNR.” Before ‘Bron’s official announcement, Bow Weezy did admit to feeling conflicted about James ditching the Cavs, tweeting, “Let’s face it man. I don’t want him to leave Ohio. But that’s what we are about to see.” However, the fellow Ohio-to-Miami transplant did appear ready to welcome the NBA MVP to the MIA and tweeted a picture of himself looking over the Miami skyline, with the message “Ay @kingjames Can’t get views like this no where but …” Hi-Tek, Cincinnati producer and half of Reflection Eternal, also showed the baller support and “Lebron I wish u the best!! #OHIOLOVE.” The beatmaster couldn’t resist a dig at the New Jersey Nets (a team that will eventually move to Brooklyn, New York), which was rumored to be courting the basketball superstar and typed, “BREAKIn NEWS! All bulldozers just pulled away from Brooklyn Nets Stadium! Lol.” Hi-Tek even defended James against the widely-publicized written tirade that embittered Cavs boss Dan Gilbert unleashed last night. “Wow! After hearing what CAVS owner said about Bron, I wish him even more success,” Hi-Tek tweeted. “Pimp the game! don’t let it pimp you!” Other hip-hop stars tweeted about the impact the new Miami Heat, with powerhouse players Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and now James, will have. Cali MC Jay Rock mulled the dynamics of a Lakers-Heat match-up and “KOBE IN THE GYM RIGHT NOW GETTING READY 4 [for] THIS 3 HEADED MONSTER IN MIAMI.” Fellow Cali rapper Game said that the star-studded Heat might prompt other basketball followers to step their game up. Game tweeted that Miami ladies “are in the gym right now getting that body tight for the NBA season. SMH #futureBasketballWives.” Virginia crooner Trey Songz that the amount of talent on the Miami team is unfair: “That’s cheating all dem [players] on one team.” Fans of the Heat seemed pleased that their team is packing major star power. DJ Khaled, who goes hard for his city both on and off Twitter, “MIAMI HEAT!!!! WE THE BEST!! All WE do is win!!” What do you think of LeBron’s decision to join the Heat?
