^oh yeah forgot about LeBron too!
I know Damian LILLARD & D.Rose been Cole fans too for a minute.
It's crazy how so many different demographics have been put on to Cole just based on a surprise album announcement and 3 weeks of word of mouth.
That 'no-promotion' promotion really worked wonders. had people who never even heard of Cole before buzzin and checking for the album.
The spotify streams say a lot too.

Crazy man. Just think about that for a minute.
A rapper not named Jay Z, Eminem, or Kanye West has sold 575,000 albums in 3 weeks... In late 2014.
Mind boggling. Says a lot about his ability to relate to people who appreciate authentic music.
Damn near like double platinum in this climates rap sales. Especially with more people using services like Spotify or Pandora more and buying albums less in general with all genres.

I'm happy for not only Cole but the hip hop genre in general that this album is having that kind of success.

Just can't stop listening to January 28th. The track is entirely too nice, damn near perfect. It's been on repeat on my phone since the day the CD dropped lol it speaks to me so much.
This was the only CD I bought in 2014, first CD since Born Sinner lol. Good decision

I may need a late pass but...
I didn't know wet dreamz was supposed to be on Cole World SS
. Makes sense know that I think about it. It is a song you would think to appear on a rappper's 1st lp. I know this song gets some slack from people but it's still one of my favs off the album. I feel it's a story every dude can relate to in some form or fashion and plus I love soul samples

I thought this album was almost perfect . The only track i really cant get into is A Tale of Two Citiez but im sure it will grow on me. Apparently is my current favorite. When he raps about relationships and his mom

Yeah, Tale of 2 Citiez is by far my favorite track. Is that Swizz on the hook? Sounds an awful lot like him.

No Role Modelz is my fav track on the album so far. I like every song except St. Tropez. Just cant get into the vibe of it. Maybe it could grow on me if I didn't always skip it lol

I always feel critics underrate his albums.
His total body of work goes:
FNL>Warm UP>SS>2014 FHD>BS
(BS to me was 7.5 to 8/10 BTW).
