J. Cole – I Get Up.

this is a re-up. from july ’08. almost a year ago.

if for some reason you didn’t feel him the first time, you will this time around.

this is monumental music, and i’m honored to be the guy to leak it. it’s so vicious that i’m tempted not posting anything else on this blog today. that way, it’ll be the only thing on everybody’s mind. unfortunately, i need to post a few things, but i feel like hope that by the end of the day, one of the big dog blogs would have snatched it, talking about “did you hear about that guy j. cole?”

yerp. that’s how i’m going. he reps fayetteville, NC as hard as fresh prince reps west philly. and furthermore, he makes all of his own beats. like this joint.

did you hear those live horns!? inspirational music. i rest my case. get this in the itunes library, ASAP.

i’m back.

i’m only posting trill $#!t from here on out. here’s something new. hook this up to a powerful system and just let it bump. he’s the best rapper you’ve heard in ’09. i don’t really care what you think, cuz that’s just what it is. i threw up the mixtape a while back, and some other loosies from him a while back. bammas didn’t listen. well, 2dopeboyz did. shout out to them. but now, after sean “jay-z” carter declared j. cole the first artist on the roc nation roster, everybody else wanna listen now! i’m not mad, but i’m just saying. it’s frustrating sometimes. imagine what an artist who knows he can rap goes through! i could never be an artist, i don’t have that bank full of pride yet.

good music is good music. good people are good people. j is both. i wish this man success in the future. jam this joint, and spread the good word.

i feel like you shouldn’t ever really critically judge music until you sit in on a studio session. then you see how much talent and hard work and grind and hustle and elbow grease it takes to be an artist.

as you can see, all that plus a mini bar does the trick for jermaine. i’m looking forward to what this “warm up” mixtape is gonna sound like. i heard it’s crazy, and features some beats from and that song at the end sounded especially vicious, didn’t it? if you need some more j. cole in your life, check the links below, they should hold you over until the mixtape’s released.
