The Real World San Diego Ep. 1 - What Happened?

If you didn't get to see the new season premiere of The Real World last night well then you missed a good one. I won't lie, from the teasers I saw this seasons cast looked a little dull and boring, not as self destructing. What I got was an episode filled with a set of crazies. I love this show, I mean the casting must be so intense with all the loonies trying to be on TV. They do a great job of finding the ones who look sane at first. OK, I'll give credit to a couple cast members for making it through episode one without going nuts but the upcoming episodes seem to show their "inner Reality TV" come out. A phrase I would use to sum up this episode is "Identity Crisis". What I've taken the liberty of doing is providing you with the real world scoop on these Real World cast members. 

First off we have Sam and Sam is a girl from Virginia. However Sam describes herself as a "stud" in urban terms it means a lesbian who chooses to appear more like a male. Sam is really cool so far, I mean she gave her thoughts on some hate words that were uttered by a girl in the club towards another cast mate and proved to be a mature player in the house. I don't see Sam getting into to much drama as she doesn't really care for the girl drama just their good looks and could care less about the guys and any immature tirades. 

Accompanying Sam in the girl pool is Priscilla, she's a San Diego native, only 19 years old and definitely the hottest one in the house. She didn't get into any arguments but she did show a Great display of "youth" (I wont say immaturity she's only 19). A little bit of a fit after realizing the older roommates had left to go drink instead of retrieve more liquor proved her age. I'm confused still as to why she was so agitated considering she's only 19 and can't drink yet, despite the fact that she was blatantly drinking underage on TV. Oh well, it happens and at least she's under the watchful eye of us adults, and the law, and MTV. (I love The Real World MTV I don't want to watch anymore put me on. Hehe.) Not that it means anything but Priscilla did hook up with another roomy already. Not that it means anything.

Nate from Kansas City, oh Nate the guy who doesn't know what the hell is going on. Or does he? Nate is definitely the player of the house, I know because his first thought's about another roomy was that he would take all the girls, in place of himself. Not to revealing but I know what he's getting at, he came for some fun and already he got it. Priscilla, remember her from my previous paragraph well Nate is the guy she hooked up with. She got real immature about it though and said he grabbed her face, come on he was on top of you and you didn't say stop so don't "yap yap" now. This accusation causes another roomy to use his nosiness to butt in and confront Nate about this. Why he confronted Nate I have no idea because the judge himself seems to be the most aggressive roomy. Nate appears to be a guy who will take some shit but always express his mind first, he looks like he can build up anger and blow up later on. Let's hope so because I wan't good TV.

Zach is the next lad up. He plays arena football and he appears to like going to the gym. He's definitely one of the taller people cast by MTV for this show, not that it matters it's just very noticeable. Hasn't really said or done to much and appears to be the non gossip type of guy, his laid back style is probably why. We don't need no drama over here right Zach? Not sure what he's capable of but one thing is for sure he will definitely get girls and he will definitely beat someone up if they want to get beat up. 

Next we have Ashley the hot blond from Connecticut. Having gone to school and lived in Boston I know this not so far away state possesses some of the country's most beautiful women. I'm not sure how they do it but I know money works magic and the best concealer makes the best face. Or does it? Ashley hasn't realy done or said much but she like's to drink like everyone else including the 19 year old. I think Ashley is hot and she and Zach will hook up because I know they will. (Ashley should call me after the show for a date.) Expect her to become overwhelm at some point with the realities of the world and living with "people" and have an emotional break down. Plus this is her first time living away from home. We've all been through those emotions.

I didn't know who to save for last so I am going to introduce these two together. You're going to ask why so I will tell you before you ask. These two are meant to be together and here's why. We have an emotional wreck named Frank and we have the girl he likes Alexandra who has a boy friend consoling him after his wall beating, cock blocking shenanigans. With that said it's quite easy to see they make the perfect on screen couple. Kind of like Ronny and Sam from Jersey Shore. I can't wait to see what this leads to. Frank is openly admitting to hooking up with guys but at the same time is offended at the fact Nate thought he was gay at first sight and still at the same time has fallen head over heels for Alexandra; in a single day. Her boy friend endured Frank taking the phone to tell him how beautiful and hot his girl is and if she was single he'd date her. Come on what boy friend wouldn't be pissed after that. This tells me that Alexandra is used to weird guys and immune to drama. I give her credit she has been through a lot having been raised in Zimbabwe and many of her friends contracting HIV. What get's me is how her personal goals and the 12 years spent to get to this point in her life are seemingly going out the window, for some nut head. I see this all going up in the air and a big outburst happening later on in the series. Frank I will let you go and watch for yourself lead himself to crazy land. This guy is a TRIP.

Overall I can say MTV has cast a very diverse crew with the right eye on the future of the season. I can easily see how this mixed bin of personalities has to crash. There's no way you can have strongly opinionated individuals of different sexual liking and orientation, underage drinking and jocks get along for more than a week. If there was then one of my favorite shows wouldn't exist.

Thanks MTV

"A Lonely Place To Die" {A Look Back] #Melissa George #Julian Gilbey

There comes a time when the normal plot for a movie get's twisted with a plot from another type of move. Yeah, hold on for a minute I'll explain. OK, so we got the movie where there's a kid involved, this kid is usually kidnapped for ransom for some type of political reason or some personal life dilemma. Like the movie Ransom right? Next we have a movie say like the movie The Edge with the great Sean Connery where there's a problem in the wilderness and you now have to fight against the enemy and mother nature. Movies like these are what I meant people, come on. Well so this movie is like those two movies put together, but not those two movies. 

You have the crew of feller and gal and the dream of enjoying a getaway in bliss. Set in the Scottish Highlands the crew are rock climbing to freedom I assume. The supple climbers are just having a blast, but we know this can't go on forever. Someone has to get hurt by a fall or a bear has to come and eat someone. Perhaps we could keep it gully and have someone trying to shoot them down to eat. This would send them into a frantic dash for their lives down the hill to the road into the stake-bed truck in which only one person has happened to find. Leaving the others mauled, or fallen victim to the deer treatment. Wait, who's this little kid in the movie. Oh, it's a Siberian girl who's trapped in the ground. How'd she get there you ask? Well it appears that a bad man or two aka Sean Harris and Stephen McCole have put her there and they want her back. Of course.

Fortunately, the little girl is in the hands of some good personnel and they care for her. Regardless the fact that they are now being hunted. So yeah, it's kind of like Ransom without loot and The Edge without the bear. 

Watchable? Yes, because people being hunted while holding a little girl sounds crazy. No, I'm not a killer, thief, druggy, drunk or any of that. I just don't know how one would manage to survive long range rifle shots while doing adult maneuvers, ducks rolls with a kid. So it sounds amusing.

Odd Future Week: Frank Ocean @frank_ocean

Last year, R&B unknown Frank Ocean, was fortunate enough to land a record deal with label giant Def Jam Recordings. It was actually through a mutual friend, Tricky Stewart, that Frank was able to be seen and heard. Unfortunately his relationship with the record label was compromised, when Frank took it upon himself to leak his upcoming solo debut Nostalgia,Ultra free to download via his Tumblr back in February. The sudden release of the album was almost too overwhelming to handle. His music was soothing and fresh. A real turn for the better for music in general. In the same week The Weeknd was also discovered and leaked his debut album House of Balloons via Drakes Blog, Octobersveryown.net. Music is in a state of rebuilding right now and Frank Ocean has contributed a great deal so far in such a short time.

                                         Frank Ocean - Novacane

Since he evacuated from New Orleans right before Katrina hit in 2005, he has worked with some of music's biggest names. He was quick to make a name for himself with his dream-esque writing style. He has written numerous songs for artists such as Justin Bieber(Bigger) and Beyonce(I Miss You) and has most recently appeared on the worldwide album phenomenon known as Watch The Throne(No Church in the Wild, Made in America) just to name a few.

                                          Frank Ocean - Swim Good


After bridges were burned with Def Jam he found himself fitting comfortably with LA's own Odd Future. Although the Los Angeles based singer is a proud member of Odd Future, in a recent interview he says each member has separate lives outside of the crew. “That’s family” he explains, “It’s a crew, but it’s not like a boy band where we’re like this cohesive thing that moves and does everything together. We’re like a crew of a bunch of different artists who create their own thing and their own wave.” The best is yet to come for this young talent. Be sure to check out Frank Ocean & Odd Future on tour in the US starting September 28, 2011.

#Weeds Season 7 Finale Hit Us but Who got Hit?

OK, that's how I will begin this. OK. If you were one of the fortunate millions to see the Weeds Season 7 Finale last night then you know better than I do that Season 8 needs to hurry the hell up. I can't believe I waited 3 whole years of Botwin life time to see what I saw at the end of this episode. I mean I don't know if this means there's no more Weeds or not you know, like just end it. Damn you Jenji Kohan.

Enough with my thought's :-/ let me tell you what happened. If you remember the past few episodes involved Silas trying to get a shipment of Weeds. Unfortunately this was interrupted when Dimitri had his gang of goons rob the supply. So now it's up to guilt trip Nancy to make things right seeing as though she make's them wrong to begin with. Upon her quest to get Dimitri to return the goods she realizes he has been arrested. There's really no other reason to believe he got arrested for anything aside from marijuana transactions. However this may not be true. The goons don't really have sympathy and instead insist on judging Nancy and her sister Jill's looks, saying if they'd Do her or Don't Do Her. Nancy Botwin is a definite Do Her. After a relentless effort to retrieve the goods Nancy had to give up, she wasn't winning this battle of the asses.

Nancy eventually finds out why Jill want's to keep Stevie too, so watch the episode. I wouldn't believe it because I thought there would be some ultimate showdown but the girl I was starting to love Emma was no where to be seen. Silas didn't seem to eager to see her either. During this go and behold Shane, good ol bad ass Shane. I'm not sure whether to like this kid or wish him to jail instead of Nancy. He really is starting to confuse the heck out of me, I mean I know he want's to break free and in lieu of this keep everything with his family cool. However, the things he has done in past few episodes make him seem like a scumbag. I mean snitch on Emma knowing she'd retaliate on your mom and now you join the Police brigade. Wow Shane, Wow. Moving on we have Mr. Doug. Eh ehm, this is my second favorite character on this show just because he just know's how to be a Boss. He's smart, witty and know's how to divvy out the shit he can receive as well. The SEC is still down his neck and now they've found a problem. His problem however is that someone has to go down and his efforts to pin it on a lower level backfires when it's told that one of the higher ups has to go. Heylia and Groff are alright, he's a little beaten up but they'll survive. Well maybe not Nancy because Heylia hates the family, again.

At the end of the episode Nancy has managed to get the crazy Botwins and Jill's family together and the handy dandy Doug. There's a nice lunch set up outside in the back yard, things appear to be a little normal out of nowhere. It's crazy because you know how they say before someone dies it's always bliss surrounding them, positive vibes. I mean not for super duper bad people but most unfortunate people though. Well if that's true then here you have it, the perfect afternoon and there's a badman in the bushes. Someone has a scope cross-hair fixated on Nancy Botwins head. We are left in the dark with the sound of a single rifle gun shot. Oh Nancy!

So here's what I think. I don't know about this whole Dimitri spiel, where the hell is he. The eye behind the scope definitely looks like it was on a face of a man, I dont think this was Emma. She's not in this episode but it's also just a day in the life so she could be anywhere. Seeing as though she just had make up sex wit Silas I doubt this is of her doing. Dimitri though, I don't know look at the guy he's an opportunist. He uses Nancy for sex and uses his goons to get her what she want's. He doesn't do shit and we know nothing about what he's capable of. We do know he's not scared to give orders to rob people and bring live ammunition and guns too. With that said I wouldn't doubt this be him or his doing, perhaps he did get arrested and sent a goon to stop any possible snitching from occurring. He know's she snitches.

Jill and anyone else in the family I have ruled out simply because they love Nancy, still. Although if Shane has something to do with this, I wouldn't be surprised. Heylia doesn't really associate with people much so I doubt she'd risk the chance of getting caught on conspiracy to have someone killed. Conrad has been gone forever.

I think I have it. Someone was about to kill Nancy and got killed before they could pull the trigger. I think she's being watched by somebody else maybe the cop now that Shane has ratted. I don't know but for some reason I don't think Nancy is dead. We still have to see if she get's Stevie. Hmm, maybe Doug got killed so that it's easy for the company to pin him as a fall guy.

Let's hope I'm right about something.

Is Nancy Botwin Dead?

Best3 of Los Angeles Hip-Hop - Tyler, the Creator

This week Odd Future starts another 'long trips and sleepless nights' tour kicking off Wednesday night in San Diego, CA. @ihate_chris will be at the show in Los Angeles Thursday night, so be sure to stayed tuned to #nextinshow for that later this week. To some people, Tyler, the Creator and the Wolf Gang might be getting played out, but don't forget that real recognize real and Odd Future is the truth. Their group is very versatile in talents. They produce their own music, promote themselves, and even started their own label. All members are self-made entrepreneurs("a lifestyle i look up to"). He recently received MTV's Best New Artist Award for his exceptional work on the visual Yonkers. His 2nd studio album GOBLIN also released earlier this year and as of September 7, 2011 it has sold 118,000 copies. since then he has appeared on a track with Pusha T "Trouble on my Mind" and also the recently released "Martians vs. Goblins ft Lil Wayne" off the Game's R.E.D. Album.


 Www.oddfuture.com has been on/off crashing with traffic in the past couple weeks. Last week Domo Genesis released his new mixtape #Undertheinfluence, which productively trended throughout the day. Then, a few days ago a mysterious song appeared on the site from the newest signee to the odd future label, Young N***** (minus the stars). The track, Come Through Looking Clean', is produced by Tyler, the Creator, and SUPRISE, Young N***** is another alter ego of Wolf Haley aka Tyler. Great stuff though. He really touches his inner Waka Flaka with this character. i can't wait for the mixtape to release, Expensive Pasta.

Last night another suprise leaked onto the WolfGang blog. A group called The Internet, which includes OF dj, Syd tha Kid and Matt Martian (Odd future producer), released a new song called Love Songs. Can't wait for more from them.

 Tyler, the Creator and the rest of Odd Future are killing it this year and the next at least. Be on the look out for 2012. The world will end with Odd Future. #Mellowhype article. Look forward to write-ups all week on Odd Future Wolf Gang Members. #nextinshow.

The Hype Is So Mellow

So by now everyone should have heard from the tyrannical crew known as Odd Future. The full title of the name is OddFutureWolfGangKillThemAll OFWGKTA. Long name, yet I don't have a problem saying it. I want to shout it from the rooftops. This group is made up of a slew of great talents like Left Brain, Odd Future's personal producer as well as lyricist. Then you have future writer of the year, Frank Ocean. Other members include, Mr. Smoke A lot of Pot Domo Genesis, Hodgy Beats, Tyler the Creator, hype men Jasper Dolphin & Taco, Mike G, missing in action somewhere in Samoa is 17 year old rapper Earl Sweatshirt, and of course the amazing GolfWang house DJ Syd Tha Kid. In my mind, they are no doubt the modern day Wu-Tang mixed with a little bit of N.E.R.D and a dash of Eminem.

The group I haven't mentioned yet, which to me stands out the most, is MellowHype. A sub-group of Odd Future consisting of members Left Brain & Hodgy Beats. Simple minds could consider their music as satanic loud noise, or you can take it for what it is, which is pure neck-breaking, swagged out, adrenaline-pumping Los Angeles street lullabies. Their lyrics speak truth, about everyday struggles. Pusha T recently commented in an interview saying, "I got a song with Hodgy...Hodgy was really good to me(with the verse he recorded) people are going to hear, their whole movement is fresh." I completely agree.This is a movement that has taken not only the US, but the world by storm and is now in control of it's fate.

MellowHype first released their debut mixtape "YelloWhite" Produced by Left Brain & Tyler the Creator just over a year ago in February of 2010. The album had instant classic's like SmokeSumKushWitMe and CocainKeys. Then there was the street anthem "Thuggin", where you get to hear a hot verse from Left Brain. In that same year, October 2010, they released the follow up to YelloWhite, BlackenedWhite. Amazing album from front to back. Spotlight songs are Loaded ft. Mike G, F666 the Police ft. Tyler the Creator ( this song stupid good performed live. refer to clip below) and Rico ft. Frank Ocean. As a matter of fact, just play album in it's entirety.

                                          Above: Tyler & Odd Future win Best New Artist

On June 13, 2011 the mixtape was Re-Released as an album under the independent label Fat Possum, based in Oxford Mississippi. Odd Future just wrapped up a summer long Europe/Japan Tour.  Also, Congratulations to Tyler the Creator and the rest of WolfGang for winning Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards. Now they are bringing the madness to the states. Will you check out MellowHype and Odd Future in your city? Check out tour dates HERE #nextinshow

Best3 of Boston Hip-Hop #nextinshow and Boston's 3 Best - Rated of Stunt City

RATED

Many people claim to have talent, but very few are considered talented. when it comes to 26-year- old Boston native Rated, being talented comes naturally. At the age of 5, Rated performed at his kindergarten graduation, leaving both family and friends surprised by his ability and willingness to perform so freely. His style consists of creative metaphors and realistic music that relates to the struggles/situations that we face in our society today. Over the years his passion for music started to grow. In 2005, Rated alongside his cousin Dyzasta formed the group Stunt City. Music has always been in the earlobes of these men, and realized that they could also make music that people will feel and relate to. Rated can recall performing "stunts" on tracks from his childhood days. "I would be around older emcees rapping, and I would let them know I could do it too. Jackie Chan performs stunts by himself. A stunt is defined as an unusual strength, skill, or talent and that’s exactly what we're bringing to our city.” With performances at colleges and venues throughout the #eastcoast including opening up shows for Bone Thugs N Harmony, Cam’ron, Joe Budden and Canibus; this team is definitely showing that they have the talent for the national level. The team released their debut group project Live & Direct in 2009, with a 2011 followup of Dyzasta’s Natural Dyzasta e.p. and Rated’s Up In Smoke mixtape. Currently Stunt City ent is working on their next group project as well as the joint venture with their family Street Status. Far from ordinary, Rated & Dyzasta are ready to take their career in the music industry to a new level, while at the same time give Boston the well needed respect that it deserves.

#RIPTROYDAVIS

It was a strange day today. Southern California was extra hot, missed the bus, I guess you could say things weren't really going my way. Why should I complain though, 42-year old canadian football running back, Troy Davis, was executed for a crime he didn't commit. On the morning of September 21, 2011, the Butts County Superior Court denied Davis's request to halt his execution. The Georgia Supreme Court also denied his appeal. Davis was  scheduled to be executed at 7 pm EDT. 


Troy Davis was an American citizen convicted of murdering a Savannah, Georgia, police officer, Mark MacPhail. MacPhail was working as a security guard at a Burger King when he involved himself to help defend a man being assaulted in a nearby parking lot. During Davis’ 1991 trial, witnesses testified that they had seen Davis shoot MacPhail. Two other witnesses had testified saying that Davis confessed to them. "Although the murder weapon was not recovered, ballistic evidence presented at trial tied bullets recovered at or near the scene to those at another shooting in which Davis was also charged. Davis was convicted of murder and various lesser charges, including the earlier shooting, and was sentenced to death in August 1991.

Seven of nine eyewitnesses signed affidavits changing or recanting all or part of their testimony. The limited ability to appeal his conviction, due in part to the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act,^[3] brought his plight to international attention. Prosecutors argued that it was too late to present the recantations as evidence.^[5] Davis maintained his innocence. Various appeals in state and federal courts followed his conviction. Davis and his lawyers argued that the racial composition of the jury (seven of the twelve were black, as is Davis) and poor advocacy from his lawyers had affected his right to a fair trial.^{[citation needed]} Witnesses stated they had felt pressure by police to implicate Davis. Witnesses also implicated another witness, Sylvester "Redd" Coles, in the crime. The appeals were denied with state and federal courts declaring that Davis had not provided a "substantive claim" of innocence and that the recantations were unpersuasive. In July 2007, September 2008, and October 2008, execution dates were scheduled, but each execution was stayed shortly before it was to take place. 

RECENT: Davis was scheduled to die at 7 p.m., but the hour came and went as the U.S. Supreme Court apparently weighed the case. More than three hours later, the high court said it wouldn't intervene. The justices did not comment on their order rejecting Davis' request for a stay.


Hundreds of thousands of people signed petitions on Davis' behalf and he had prominent supporters. His attorneys said seven of nine key witnesses against him disputed all or parts of their testimony, but state and federal judges repeatedly ruled against him; three times on Wednesday alone. #RIP

@JColeNC - Cole World: The Sideline Story [Full AlbumReview]

"His time has definitely come" @ihate_chris

It's been a rough road for J Cole getting to this point. He has had his debut album almost come to a complete stop, but wait. What's this? The end of summer he releases the hot radio hit Workout, which included elements from Kanye West's New Work Out Plan, and now recent releases like, Can't Get Enough ft. Trey Songz & the nasty leak from Jay Z and Cole, Mr Nice Watch. There is no way you can expect to sleep on this album. Now Cole World: The Sideline Story has an official release date for September 27th, 2011. From the start Cole has compared his life and love for basketball to that of his career now in the rap game. When playing on the basketball team, he was always on the bench and was ready to move up to that starting position. This relates to how rap is, he must put in enough work to get recognized as a starter. His time has definitely come.


Intro is a smooth piano riff played by Cole. He is talking/rapping to his family and fans about the time he got signed to RocNation as the first official artist on the label. The album's first intended single was Who Dat, released in June of 2010. We all know what happens to music when it gets left on the shelf for too long? It becomes stale. Not enough buzz was created for Cole to release his debut at that time.


Dollar and a Dream III is the final chapter in the series that were included in his mixtapes, like The Warm Up. The record contains a sample from the video game Disney's Kindgom Hearts 2 "Darkness of the Unknown". 


Another song that was previously released on another project The Warm Up, was "Lights Please". Cole explained at the listening session that this song was the track that won over his manager Mark Pitt and Jay Z. Another Interlude on the album appears and this one is a audio clip of  J Cole explaining the day he found out Jay wanted to sign him. Immediately following, cops pulled him over and arrested him. "These n***** have no clue, I'm about to sign this deal with Jay Z... That was the easiest night in jail a n**** could ever do."

Sideline Story is another self-produced cut. I knew the kid could produce, but not a whole project of solid material from front to back. I can now see why Jay felt the need to sign him to his label. This track also contains a sample of The World is a Place performed by the group Rhythm.


The song Cole World is definitely the one you need to be playing in rotation on your iTunes playlist. The track is a party in itself. I'm unsure of the origin of sample at this time, but I am guessing this is another track that compromised the album releasing on time. In an interview Cole states that it was a shame to have to re-record certain songs because of sample clearance issues. "I got a day to make that shit happen – not only match the feel of the sample, but change it enough so it’s not the same.” 

The next track In the Morning makes its way onto the album. When first released the song took some getting used to, but gradually rose to the top on my Recently Played List and Radio Stations World Wide. Cole defended his decision to keep the song on album saying, he felt the song never got the push it deserved, and he wanted it to reach more people. 


On the song Lost Ones, the young rapper mellows out and speaks to the woman carrying his unborn child. A powerful story that is too emotional and raw too be just a story.


This is a collaborator I have been waiting for to get back in the game. Finally a long overdue appearance by Missy Misdemeanor Elliot on the song Nobody's Perfect. Missy makes up a memorable hook for this one. "Nobody's perfect, but your perfect for me."

~ On another note Missy Elliot is not in best health, so make sure to keep supporting her and keep her in your prayers ~

Never Told is one of 3 tracks not produced by Cole. Instead, NO I.D. brings his expertise and soul along with him.


The Intro of Rise and Shine samples the documentary Backstage, where Jay Z is talking about finding that one great artist that he’ll sign. "He at the table right now with a bowl of apple jacks, and in between eating the apple jacks he writes some shit... And he want my spot. Ima find him though, Ima sign him. I don't want no problems." The story is simple: J Cole Rises to the Top and Shines.


Cole originally wanted Jay Z to end up on the next record God's Gift, but he says that he is a firm believer of things happening for a reason, so he made peace with it. I can see why J Cole wanted this from Jay Z. The beat alone is amazing. Take 'Em to the Strrreeeets!


The final track on the album is Breakdown. The story talks about his struggle growing up fatherless, his mother getting into drugs, and struggling to survive. A true rags to riches story.




Album has been unofficially leaked as of  yesterday Tuesday 20, 2011 and it is hot.  Before the leak even happened, Cole was anticipating it, and seemed pretty optimistic about the whole thing.
“If anything the leak will reach out to more people who might be like ‘ah man, let’s go get this.' So you know, it's kind of like promotion these days—if you got a good album. If you don't have a good album. they'll just trash you. I understand it's apart of the game. I always understood that. As long as people hear it together, it's cool. I just know that people who are going to buy it were going to buy it anyways and the people weren't—probably weren't anyways.” 

                                          

Full of emotion and raw rap. The whole album is almost entirely self-produced.  J Cole is #nextinshow. Be sure to buy the album Cole World: The Sideline Story available September 27th, 2011.
