    i hear people say all the time cole is becoming a superstar, why was he not already held at a superstar standard before was it because his album wasnt platinum, even tho he has a loyal fanbase , before FHD people would just say hes just a famous rapper signed to jayz or something, so my question is when did cole become a superstar in your POV.?

    I think FHD is putting Cole in that superstar category. If FNL was executed properly by his label we wouldn't be having this discussion. FHD had a smart promo run, it connected with people and it sold alot. FNL was his last project that really resonated with the masses. His last two albums I kept seeing the same responses and comments "This album was okay, but it still isn't better than FNL". IMO FHD made people forget about FNL and people really seem to enjoy this album. It has something for just about everybody.

    J.Cole is a very current rapper. I think he is not yet at the peak of his career.

    Hes not a superstar. Superstar means average casual music fans know who you are. Guarantee if you went up to some average 40 year old white guy in a grocery store and asked him who J.Cole is he wouldn't know. But he would certainly know who Snoop Dogg and Eminem are, for example.

    I 100% agree with Arch Dogg (for once). He makes the cut if we're talking about rap alone, but he's no Kanye or Jay Z or Snoop. Your mom doesn't know who J. Cole is.

    Drake and nicki are the only superstars out of the new school artists, even though nicki star seems to be fading a little. Cole and kendrick are stars on the rise.

    Cole puts out dope, heartfelt, genuine music, pushes a lot of units and sells out big venues. He's very likable but keeps a very low public profile. He's a different type of superstar.

    Same with Kendrick. He and Cole aren't flashy ppl and don't crave that type of media attention.
