J.Cole's Cole World:The Sideline story recently leaked on the internet, and he has come forward to comment on it, saying it could serve a good purpose.
“I feel blessed. There’s been worse leaks than that so I understand it’s a part of the game, I always understood that. As long as people hear it together, it’s cool,” he said. “And I just know that the people who are going to buy it were going to buy it anyways. The people who weren’t probably weren’t, anyways. If anything, the leak will reach out to more people who might be like ‘ah man, let’s go get this.' So you know, it's kind of like promotion these days—if you got a good album. If you don't have a good album—they'll just trash you.”
Cole, whose album goes on pre-sale on iTunes today, is more excited about the fact that his debut will finally hit stores.
“I’m just excited. Of course I’ve got some nerves. It’s only natural to have nerves, but I’m really more excited and proud. I can’t believe I’m actually going to have a CD that’s in stores. I got a long way to go in the game, but that’s definitely a day where I’ll be able to pat myself on the back - which I don’t do often.”
I have not heard it yet, but if i do see a link to download it, i would definitely still buy it when it drops next week. Although i am not too impressed with the 2 singles off the album, i think, judging from his past mixtapes, that he would definitely have some real dope hip hop tracks on the album.
