J. Cole shades low-selling artists after #1 debut, says "stop serving trash"

[Stefani328 321]

Well to be honest good music does not equal sells. Popularity and appeal equals sells.

And of course you guys don't know him. I get the impression some of you don't listen to anything outside of your "Pop Queens" lol.

I've never heard of him and the only pop singer I like is Gaga and sometimes Bruno Mars. Not everyone on here worships the "pop queens" I prefer rock.

Who is he though? Is he buying his own album because I've never heard anyone even mention him in my life.

I go to a ghetto school, so he is treated like a god... :awkney:

Before any of you "go in", remember Gaga used her sells against Die Antwoord

Why do you always feel the need to talk about people being "ghetto??" That's not cute and it make you look very ignorant and idiotic tbh.

I know black, white, superclass and superclass people who listen to hip hop so you can have a seat with that mess. :wtf:

[Redstreak 6,653]

His album wasn't exactly viewed as some masterpiece either though

Azealia teas

 

LOL! The tea! I love Paris BTW! I really pray, wish and hope she will release "You'll Never Be Alone" in my lifetime!!! It's her most flawless song ever!

There's nothing wrong with that if they're content with what they're listening to

 

To answer the OP thing, I don't think low sales = trash  Like it's definitely not as simple as that

Its not just the impression, its the reality

Who is he shading in order to become relevant?

He's clearly not that irrelevant tho to sell 360k first week with no promo and no singles until a week before the album release.

I mean, I can stand corrected. No problem. That's really great though, with no promo or singles. Pretty impressive. I wonder what the second and third week will be like though.

Ghetto has nothing to do with Race at all....

You look idiotic automatically assuming that ghetto is associated with Black people

You may have 20 seats trying to pull the Race card -_-

The user's always rude and disrespectful but you come to expect that when you're exposed to certain homos-xuals. 

 

I don't think he's specifically telling low selling artists to stop serving trash, it seems like he's referring to the industry

Which is why I said "some."

I was simply pointing out that all types f people listen to rap. It's not fair to imply that only "ghetto" people listen to it. And let's face it when you hear the word "ghetto," what is the first thing to come to mind...?

Furthermore, I myself am not a huge fan of rap, but it just irritates me when people make generalizations like that.

I'm sorry if I came across aggressive or what not but I've seen you post several times about "ghetto people " and it's not really cute..
