Photo | J Cole Mad At The Grammys

Is Jermaine really mad? Who knows. And to be frankly honest, no one cares. A picture is worth a thousand words OR a thousand and one LMAO! This picture is priceless. The just caught him in the moment of ....well... frustration, anger, struggle, etc. Don't worry Jermaine, better luck next year kid.



As MsMusicLover would say "laksjfoaisdjfaoskdmflaksjdfsdjfoasdjfaoksdfasdfsfa at Jermaine's face!"

J Cole "Lost Ones" [VIDEO]

Remember during our review of Cole World: The Sideline Story, I mentioned that the album sounded as if some song were recorded a long time ago, while others were recorded yesterday? Well, this is one of those "long time ago" songs and this video is proof. Good sh*t tho!

Big K.R.I.T.- "Rise and Shine" VS J Cole - Rise and Shine..Which one is better?


Yea, yall know what time it is. Fans of both artists KNEW this question was bound to be asked, so f*ck it. I'll ask it first. From jump, when I saw that Cole had a song on Cole World called Rise and Shine, I immediately started humming Krit's version of Rise and Shine. The songs sound NOTHING ALIKE. However, since they both have the same name, the question must be asked. Which "Rise and Shine" is the better one?

Take A Listen and Make a Decision

Big K.R.I.T. - Rise And Shine

J Cole - Rise And Shine

Please vote by Leaving a Comment with the artist's name you think had the better Rise and Shine song of 2011.

The Facts:
  • Big K.R.I.T.'s "Rise And Shine" is the intro track to his album.  Essentially, it's one of the most important songs on the album.  No only does it open up what most fans have come to call an instant classic LP, it actually sets the tone fo the album.  The song has two verses and a hook that's damn near half the size of one of the verses.  The beat is people chill but up tempo and really catches the feel of an early morning rise in the country.  It also has some of the best scratching of any track on the album to add that necessary hip hop element.  In the song, Krit talks about prayer, and the need to get up and do something in life because time is precious and irreplaceable.

  • J Cole's "Rise and Shine" is a little past the mid way point of a good but no where near classic album debut.  Its arguably, as one of my followers put it, the best song on the album.  I agree.  This is the Cole we heard on Looking for Trouble and Who Dat.  The beat has a nice melody with singers harmonizing through hymn like humming.  It definitely gives off a religious or rising-up feel.  The opening is very triumphant with one of the illest beat drops this year. The song has 3 long verses and a very short, almost non existent hook.  It's not even really a hook, its more a beat break or a bridge of "My Soul to Take" repeated about 4x.

The Comparison:
  • These are two very different artist who at one time seemed to be the two best in the game.  Krit's laid back opener flow of understanding and pleading for the drive to go on compared to Cole's bragadoshish, lyrical uptempo "ain't no f*cking wit me" flow, give off completely different vibes.  However, the two songs make similar references.  Which really leaves a question mark over my head as to wonder was Krit's song an inspiration for Cole's song.  Both songs reference prayer.  Its actually one of the main themes in both songs.  Both artist also reference Michael Jordan directly.  I can't call it yall.  As of right now, I'm leaning more towards the countrier of the two.

J Cole - Cole World: The Sideline Story (ALBUM SNIPPETS)

Wow. Ok. I'm very confused. I guess we really don't need to wait for those listening session reviews now. Hell, you can just go to the link below and hear about 30 seconds of every song. I know you shouldn't judge a song off 30 secs of play, but hey, it's all we got for now. Cole WOrld 9.27 (less than two weeks).

Snippets Review (This is just a pre-review, not a final say)

1. Intro:
Its an intro. Nothing great. He just seems to be starting off the story of how Cole World came to be.
2. Dollar and a Dream III
Beat is more orchestral and gives the song a more passion driven feel. Did Cole say "God got him. They say he wouldn't leave me, yet I'm falling like Autumn"... OH SH*T!! #JColeBack
