Cole moving his album up to Kanye's date was a total PR move for people to keep talking about his album, it's all business. His outselling Kanye was a matter of A) Kanye's less-than-normal promotion for his album & 2) Cole's crossover appeal with women and pop radio
I really don't mean to knock Cole, but Cole apologists are pretty funny w/ their theories sometimes
and Jay Electronica's not putting out a lot of music has nothing to do with the fact that when he spits, he sounds like he was born to rap. Age don't matter either, just gimme a collection of 10-15 songs and I'm good

The rap game/hip-hop culture needed this. As others have stated, this wasn't a diss but a wake up call. Hopefully this will light a fire under some of these rappers ***'s and some good/real music will follow.
Kendrick>>>> any rapper dead or alive, and my opinion is not based just from this verse.

I just can't get down with Big Sean, I just don't see/get it in him. Kendrick did his thing as usual and then I cut it off on that Jay Electronica guy. But I don't think this will "awaken" hip hop. It's in a diff stage now where it's all about the production and catchiness.

I feel this track is a perfect representation of where hip hop is (big sean's pop flow), was (kendrick calling others out) and where it should be (jay).

QFT. I really hope him dropping these guest verses is a build up to the album coming outat people thinking that verse is gonna make all those named rappers "better" rappers
my takeaway from this track is:
1. Big Sean is not a good rapper and is inconsequential within the current rap landscape. Definition of vanilla.
2. Kendrick is a beast and is clearly the future. He is well-rounded enough to become a mega star in rap but the crossover appeal someone like Drake has is still not 100% there. Kendrick is a far better rapper than Drake could ever be, though.
3. Jay Electronica has the gift of presence on a track the likes of which just doesn't come around anymore. The rap world needs more Jay Elec music because he can change the game more so than even Kendrick, IMO.

Whether this is true or not, I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion on this track
This is another cause of 'it's not what you say, it's how you say it'. KL not only said something, but he said it with conviction. Jay Elec said something, but said it while downing 2 bottles of Nyquil.
Even if that's the case, it worked out very well for J.Cole

Scroll up a couple posts, various people are defending his hurt

People that say it was just "name dropping" are the se ones supporting all this trash these days.
Hip hop has always been competitive.
It's soft now and I'm glad Kendrick is trying to change that. All this Buddy buddy **** has to stop. ****** need to step their game up. Everybody is way to comfortable. Hopefully this **** helps to change that.

Dudes talking bout Cole piggy backed for sales but he ended up with the far superior product, and still ended up outselling Ye.

Ya'll swear Kendrick name drops like the Game He did to get his point across that he's still cool with them, but he coming for that crown.

Could those be factors? Sure.
But ultimately those are excuses for that flaming pile of garbage called Yeezus. Let's be real--if 'Ye dropped an album on par with most of his other work, it would've sold better. In this day and age of bootlegging and album leaks, a lot of people weren't going to $upport that album after sampling it on the internets. Why? Because that **** is garbage.

Cole's appeal with pop radio?
Work Out Plan?
You act like J Cole is Drake. He only sold like 600 first time.
Before rap music was like blockbuster movies and you cleared out the calendar for a monster release not try to compete with it. The labels would force you, even if you wanted to.
It's his voice
