A Word For College Students

J. Cole really is something else. You have rappers like 50 Cent, who got big because he got shot, and you have rappers like Eminem, who made it big on the battle scene first, and then you have J. Cole, who got their college educations, had a dream, and went about it the RIGHT way. His story is a classic example of the fact that in life, you can't just wait for things to happen, you have to make them happen.

The kind gentleman who introduced me to J. Cole's fairly new mixtape, Friday Night Lights, introduces it as "one of the best mixtapes [he has] ever heard". Okay, bro, I got you. I was not disappointed.

J. Cole is the new Tupac. It's a bold statement this early, but there's something very special about this dude. Keep an ear out for his debut, Cole World: The Sideline Story. This one's going down in history, I'm calling it. Listen to the lyrics in this one, you'll feel me.

"Villematic" has a hell of a message, too. This one's for you new college freshman, class of 2015. Remember, anything's possible.
