“You can’t deny J. Cole’s talent, but where does he stack amongst his peers? He’s not event Top 5 right now.” — NYGHT

“As much as I love Kendrick, most rap fans can’t sing along to his records like they do with J. Cole.” — MAJID
“J. Cole is a lot more capable than his 3 albums have led us to believe he is. TPAB will push him to make better music.” — Justin

“J. Cole is the comfort food of rap, it’s not 5 star, but we know what we’re getting, we’re used to it and we’re never disappointed.” — ASIA
“All I’m saying is, why do we have to hate on J. Cole because he’s at piece with himself as an artist?” — ASIA
