    AOTY in my book.

  4. Kemosabi says:

  5. The Real Truth says:

    Best Solo Hip Hop Album this year……….. Hip Hop Album……not R&B but Hip Hop…..much respect…. now waiting on Common’s album

  6. LKBZ says:

    Game needs to go Gold or should’ve ’cause he damn well deserves it! Oh well, congratulations to Cole.. his album was dope though RED >>>

  7. k1ngeljay says:

    Yo, Game does deserve to go gold. Not more than Cole though, it’s about the same.

    Both had dope albums, though.

  8. rodipipes says:

    Am really happy for j cole. One of my best albums of d year alongside Game’s RED album.

  9. The Real Truth says:

    I like Game’s album, but he had to many guest appearances…. personally 2 or 3 is cool for a album, but I buy a album to hear the artist, save all the extra guest appearances for mix-tapes….. Cole did that album with only 2 guest appearance verses and 2 hooks….. that’s unheard of these days… and then produced most of it…. he did it in the vain of Kanye’s Graduation

  10. @tshiamofs says:

    I copped it. Top album. I think he will definitely get better with his sophomore. And Jigga wont drop him. ROC4LIFE

    Proud Of This Nigga. You Did The Shit Son

  12. Word says:

    GOLD WORLD! Nigga worked hard for that shit, stayed true to himself, put out a great hip hop album, STILL debuted at #1 and went Gold, what more could you ask for? The haters gonna say oh it took him a few months while Drake did it in one week but the fact is, niggas didnt expect Cole to even sniff Gold. Ppl thought he wouldnt even touch 50k first week. Its all about exceeding expectations and he did just that.

    One of the AOTY in Hip Hop no doubt but its my favorite album hands down. Take Care, WTT, Ambition, and BME round that out.

  13. Word says:

    And RED album. I forgot about that album but that was one of the best too.

  14. mac DIESEL fanbase says:

    U guys be trippin calling this the album of the year LMFAO

  15. [...] New Artist for the 2012 Grammy’s, J. Cole has learned that his debut album, Cole World, has officially been certified gold! 2011 has been good to Cole and it looks like 2012 is going to be even better. [...]

  16. IDontGAF says:

    But drizzy went gold first week. The struggle is real out here.

  17. Merc says:

    Grammy Nomination & Debut album goes gold all in the same week! That 2 year wait was well worth it! Cole Blooded

  18. Chosen One 11 says:

    Congrats to Cole

  19. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    Great Album! Congrats. Rise & Shine, Gods Gift, and Lost Ones classic joints.

  20. Sunny Bono says:

    This album saved hip-hop, of course not numbers wise but he got people who thought hip hop was dead rethink that.

  21. Kunta Kente says:

    J. Cole did something this year that rappers haven’t done in a while, he actully rapped.

  22. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    Exactly@Kunta Kente. Congrats to the homie J. Cole. Real hip hop no gimmicks over here.

  23. STINKMEANER says:

    yeah congrats to cole, writin his own lyrics, rappin and producing. and this young dude got missy elliot on the track.

    anddd this dude produced hiipower for kendrick.

    cole earned all that success

  24. Carolina Girl says:

    Well deserved. The 910 and the whole NC holdin you down Cole. Sampson and Cumberland Counties got you!! Keep puttin for everybody that thought they couldn’t make it.

  25. Donn says:

    CONGRATS INDEED

  26. I agree with @Word,because I thought JCole would Flop Harder than Vlade Divac,but he surprised me.His album has not surpassed 500k yet.I think they round albums off to the nearest 10th.Its funny how him and Drake pretend to be cool when JCole disses him on “Who Dat”and most people missed it.

  27. Kunta Kente says:

    @Blackanastasia nobody missed it on the 3rd verse, and J. Cole already admited that he takes most of his subliminal shots at Wayne. Why you bringing up that old ass song. Drake took a shot a Cole on Headlines “And Thats Who You Thinking Bout to Come And Make A killing?”. Friendly competition.

  28. Shooga says:

    My boy Cole did it, Clap For Him… Clap bitch!! Cole World. Ha!

  29. M.T says:

    Best hip hop album of the year. The album is still on repeat. Where are all the ppl that said it wouldn’t be gold? Cole won.

  30. Cali says:

    J. Cole is garbage.
    Take Care went Gold in it’s first week.

  31. Nahh says:

    Get off Coles dick. The album is NOT HIS BEST WORK. Friday night lights was better.much better.

  33. @tshiamofs says:

    @Nahh FNL being better than Cole World has nothing to do with Cole World going gold u dumb ass..
