Louis-Antoine Garnier-Pagès, (born Feb. 16, 1803, Marseille, Fr.—died Oct. 31, 1878, Paris), republican political figure prominent in the opposition to France's monarchical regimes from 1830 to 1870.
Garnier-Pagès was an active participant in the antiroyalist uprising of 1830, but he did not formally enter politics until 1842, when he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies from the Eure region. In 1842–48 he sat with the republican left and devoted himself to financial and commercial questions.
In 1848, as the Orleanist regime of King Louis-Philippe began to topple, Garnier-Pagès emerged as a leader of the "banquets campaign," a series of anti-regime political rallies. When Louis-Philippe abdicated, Garnier-Pagès became mayor of Paris and then minister of finance in a new republican government. Faced with a desperate financial situation, he enacted a series of stringent fiscal measures, including a surcharge on direct taxation, which caused great public dissatisfaction and brought about his defeat in a bid for election to the Legislative Assembly (1849). His Histoire de la révolution de 1848, 11 vol. ("History of the Revolution of 1848"), appeared in 1864.
During the Second Empire (1852–70) Garnier-Pagès remained in private life until 1864 and then became a member of the Corps Législatif. He opposed the Franco-German War (1870–71) but joined the republican Government of National Defense when Emperor Napoleon III abdicated in 1870. Once again, however, unpopularity cost him a seat in the legislature in 1871, and he retired from public life. He wrote an account of his experiences during the Second Empire, L'Opposition et l'empire, 2 vol. (1872; "The Opposition and the Empire").

Whenever I have filled a workbox with a Montessori inspired activity, I put our learning tray on top of the workboxes, so it is easy for us to take the items out of the drawer and put them straight onto the tray (Montessori activities are generally done on a tray or similar surface to contain the activity and create a defined work space for each child). I follow the normal process of a Montessori activity, first I demonstrate the activity by completing it myself (i.e. modelling) and then allow my boys (whoever is doing it, sometimes both of them) to repeat the task, usually several times, as long as they are enjoying it and still interested.Beginner pouring for Damian - pouring beads. Normally I would use dried beans, but I didn't have any on hand at the time, so he tried these and they worked pretty well.
Followed by rice pouring.
Transferring activity - transfer rice from one bowl to the other using only the spoon. This is excellent for the development of fine motor coordination.
Pegging activity. First peg around the block, then around the paper.
Threading beads.
Transfer activity using tongs.
And lastly, sandpaper letters.
There are so many more you could add to workboxes, this is just a few that we have done recently.

Top Five Twitter Posts: High-Tech High School Diplomas, Space Junk Trackers and Zombies
From space junk orbiting the Earth to zombies that walk it, it's been a week of motion without limits for this manufacturer of linear slides and rotary guides. We're fascinated with almost everything related to science, engineering, technology, math and more, so follow us on Twitter to learn more about the news we share and the exciting stories making headlines all around the world. Have a great weekend!
1. NASA's 3D-Printing Rocket Parts Might Boost Larger Manufacturing Trend on Modern Science: NASA's working on its first heavy-lift booster rocket since Saturn 5, the one launched in 1967 to jet astronauts to the moon. The under-development Space Launch System will not only make history in the annals of American spaceflight, it could also become a bellwether for a specific technology that could boost U.S. manufacturing, according to this article. Click through to find out what technology they're talking about.
2. New High School Diplomas Promote High-Tech Industries via Press Connect: A New York senator came up with a plan to create high school diplomas for upstate students who focus on high-tech and manufacturing-related studies. The article says that "goal is to increase high school graduation rates and connect New Yorker's with jobs in manufacturing, nanotechnology and biosciences by training them to fill positions in the emerging fields." Makes sense to us!
3. U.S. Military Enlists Amateurs to Track Space Junk via Mashable: Think of it as a "far-out neighborhood watch," says this news brief about a new program the military rolled out that asks the public to help pinpoint space junk floating around out there. It's a project the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency calls SpaceView. Interesting news considering the topic of crowdsourcing has been on our minds lately, too.
4. Zombies, Twitter and Braaiiins: the Neuroscience of 'The Walking Dead' via Fast Company: A bunch of volunteers got hooked up to brain scanners while watching AMC's popular zombie apocalypse show The Walking Dead so researchers could understand a little more about why the show's fans react the way they do on social media and which scenes spark the most neural activity. No, the story says, AMC did not sponsor this study.

Just enter your Email address and your zip code and you'll receive the very best money saving deals you can find in Myrtle Beach.
Diamond Back Golf Course at Woodland Valley is nestled peacefully in the Lowcountry woodlands neighboring North Myrtle Beach. This Russell Breeden design features modern and sophisticated golf elements, playing to a par 72 that stretches to more than 6,900 yards from the tips, but offering tee options that also make this a distance-friendly course for all golfers.
Strategically placed bunkers and lakes present both challenge and fun shot-making opportunities for golfers of all abilities. Further, Woodland Valley is the first course in the Myrtle Beach area to feature Jensen Ultra Dwarf greens, and also offers a fully stocked pro shop, snack bar and practice facility.
A signature hole at Woodland Valley is No. 16, featuring a Lowcountry marsh stretching from left to right that makes the middle of the fairway a water hazard. Club selection is important during your round here, punctuated by multiple holes similar to #16 with forced carries. Fear not, though, as these carries are relatively short. Hole #12, a par 3 measuring 125 yards, has an easy carry that makes it a popular hole among golfers to make that easy par.
Overall course is in decent shape. Greens are fine. Front nine has some construction projects going on that brought down conditions, Back nine was in much better shape. I expect the course the course to be in much better shape in several weeks. Pace of play was good. Very challenging layout.
Very good course. Fairways very good. very good cart workers.
I liked layout but greens were very poor. Very bumpy.
Good course setup, greens were horrible, like putting on painted clay, any grass growing on putting surface were in clumps and caused ball to veer abnormally. Unbelievable that they actually charge to play as much as they do. Of all the courses in the area, I wish I had known. Definitely do not recommend.
Friendly staff, wanted to play course again, it's been about 7 yrs. since we played the course.
Course was in excellent shape but the edges of some of the cups were raggered and not cut cleanly. Many of the water stations did not have water jugs and the ones that did had warm water that probably was sitting there for a few days. Our carts had a ice bucket in the cart, but one had nothing in it and the other had water, no ice. I found the course long and narrow and many holes had tight/blind tee shots and hidden water hazards.
Layout is very challenging. Great course for the money.
We played on 6/14/13, and it was a great day on a great course. Staff is friendly and helpful. Course is beautiful with a nice mix of challenges. It was a little wet, but there had been a lot of recent rain storms. Great gas-powered carts. Good, cheap food and beer at the restaurant. It is about a 40 minute drive from the heart of Myrtle Beach, but many of the good courses are 30+ minutes from MB, so that was not an issue. It was slow the day we were there, which I find very rare and very refreshing. Overall, highly recommended.
Fairways very thin. But it's COLD yet. Haven't grown in yet, I guess. A great getaway course for anyone heading North after the round. Pro Shop had nothing to offer, between seasons ,I guess. Staff very friendly. Was nice touch to get a sandwich, chips and two drinks at end of round. Course layout is nice blend of Risk & Reward. White tees plenty for us Seniors. Fun day after it warmed up.
This has always been a course I play every winter because of it's condition and scenery but what a disappointment this winter. This is the first winter I have ever seen it not winter seeded and that includes the greens. Don't know what is going on but the pro shop is just a fraction of what it was in the past. Usually in March the place is packed but the word must be getting around concerning it's shape. My advice, avoid it this winter, wait until the middle of April and check it out before playing. One nice thing I can still say about the course is the staff are still very nice.
Great layout; poorly maintained; maintenance needs additional capital to improve playability. Poor drainage issues and compacted turf is the major issues. Club bounces from lack of turf and hard pan soil. Never again for the cost.
Course is in dormant shape but is still very playable. greens are fast and true. There were some muddy areas but overall quite a challenge to play and women friendly. Will play it again.
Very good.
There's trouble left, trouble right, & many times trouble straight ahead. Lots of dense woodlands, sand, & water. A nice change of pace from the resort courses because only 1 home is viewable from the course. Course conditions were a little wet but otherwise very good. Our group enjoyed playing here.
My group visited Diamondback at Woodland Valley 6/7/12 and we has the time of our lives! GM/Head Golf Professional, Brad Davis, showed us around the plush fairways and greens. Brad has done a spectacular job with this course! It has a ton of character to go along with the great layout and the best staff in the Myrtle Beach area! This course is a mainstay now in our annual golf trip. I'm definitely looking forward to playing this course again next year.
Disliked the inability to go to the clubhouse after the front 9. The beverage cart was not frequent enough.
Conditions are very bad. I would rather play in a cow's field. The fairways are non existent, very dry and completely yellow. Maintenance is very bad at this golf club. They probably haven't maintained anything since last March 2011, when the course was beautiful.
Played 1-12-12. The only grass that was green was the tee boxes. The greens were brown but fast. Staff was nice, lunch and 2 beers plus cheap greens fee was all worth it.
This is a good course for the money although a long drive from Myrtle Beach (2 hours both ways). The layout is its best feature - each hole is new and different. Quality of the course itself is below the medium-priced courses in Myrtle Beach. The starter/bag man was downright surly and not much interested in communicating. As first-time players we did not get a lot of help. They advertised lunch and beer as part of the package but lunch was a hot dog sausage on a bun and a very small bag of chips. The beer was an 8 ounce glass. I wouldn't go here from Myrtle Beach but would play this course again. I just hope they have a different starter next time.
Played the course on 4/28. Good conditions and great value. I got the package that include breakfast, lunch, two beers, greens fees, and range balls. Nice people in pro shop. Good overall condition for a warm up course. The course is the farthest out on Highway 9 so play it coming or going. Typical Russel Breeden golf course. Many fun holes with a couple weird ones tossed in. Conditions overall good but greens seemed a little grainy. Several tight fairways surrounded by thick woods.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Up north, maybe. Down here in Golf Capital, U.S.A., we can't be bothered with such environmental concerns. In South Carolina's Grand Strand - a section of 60-plus miles of beaches and 90 or so golf courses - the links are still welcoming despite the season. - Read More

|"Wellington Botanical Gardens–NZ", 6x9, watercolor
As I said, Wellington is a city of hills. And the design of the 62 acres of the Wellington Botanic Garden takes full advantage, featuring beautiful plants, shrubbery and flowers spilling down the hillside towards views of downtown and the bay.
We took the cute funicular railroad from the city up to the garden. Unfortunately, the day had started out gray and was now really beginning to look like rain. So I headed immediately to search for a spot to paint, and Chris set off to explore the garden. He took these photos of the winding trails lined with flowers while I started sketching. It soon started to sprinkle, and by the time Chris found his way back to me it had begun to rain in earnest. I quickly gathered up my things and–holding my pad of watercolor paper upside down to try to keep my painting from getting wet–we made a run for the cafe. We got drenched on the way, but I managed to keep my painting pretty dry. You can see a few water drops in the dark green on the left and the brown tree on the right. I finished the painting in the warm dry cafe while enjoying a delicious cappuccino.

Below is a review of these components in greater detail.
Login/Logout Tracking Including Failed Login Attempts
DSMETER provides you with truly exceptional abilities to track logins and logouts.
- Track login and logout requests per NetWare server or IP address
- Track LDAP authentications per NetWare server or IP address
- Track the total time logged in per object/IP address
At your direction, DSMETER can be configured to track login and logout requests for your entire Tree or any portion thereof. Login and logout tracking is defined per container (Organization, Organizational Unit, Country, [Root] and so on).
Because failed login attempts can indicate incursions to your network, DSMETER uniquely provides you with insight of the following events:
- All Bindery-based login events (successful or not)
- All attempts to login with an invalid account name
- All attempts to login using a bad password
- Any accounts locked by eDirectory/NDS Intruder Detection
- Thorough tracking of the assignment of Administrator/Supervisor privileges
Knowing who has been granted Administrator privileges to any portion of your eDirectory/NDS is critical to controlling the security of your Tree. And, knowing who has been granted Supervisor privileges to any portion of your NetWare File Systems is equally important. DSMETER can be used to track both Administrator and Supervisor security privilege assignments throughout your Tree and NetWare File Systems. You can also use DSMETER to track security assignments of any other level such as Read, Write, Browse, and so on.
NetWare File System Tracking/Alerts
With DSMETER you can track and alert file system activity on your NetWare File Systems:
- Find out who is using files with any extension (MP3, MPG, JPG, GIF, etc)
- Track Netware file events (opens, reads, writes, deletes, renames, salvages, purges, permission changes)
- Track NetWare folder events (creates, renames, deletes, permission changes)
- Track Copy and NCOPY file events
- Exclude files from tracking
NetWare File System Control
With DSMETER you can quickly and easily control and report on file system activity on your NetWare File Systems:
- Block the creation and modification of any file type
- Prevent the creation of unwanted files such as MP3, WMV, DLL
- Stop the deletion of NetWare folders
- Stop NetWare file write events
Activity can be controlled by folder, filename, or even extension.
eDirectory/NDS Tracking/Alerts
With DSMETER you can track and alert on changes to eDirectory/NDS objects and attributes, including:
- Changes to any NDS access privilege
- Changes to security equivalence
- Group membership changes
- Changes to any attribute (password, name, title, grace logins, intruder lockout, enabled / disabled)
Additionally, DSMETER allows you to track activity among individual objects and entire containers of objects, including object creates and deletes.
eDirectory/NDS Control
Available only with DSMETER is the unprecedented ability to control eDirectory/NDS object classes.
- Control object classes that can be created
- Control object classes that can be deleted
Ordinarily when a user is given the ability to create/delete eDirectory/NDS objects they can create an object of any permissible class including Servers, Containers, Printers and so on. When you use DSMETER's exclusive ability you can precisely control the types of objects users are allowed to create. And, if you have inherited the eDirectory/NDS Tree you can quickly "Lock Down" all object creation to designated users only and quickly gain control of your network.
DSMETER also provides the unique ability to control hidden objects.
- Automatically scan and find hidden objects
- Disable and/or unhide hidden objects
Did you know hidden objects could be lurking within your eDirectory/NDS Tree? These hidden objects can be used as a backdoor to gain entry to your eDirectory/NDS Tree! DSMETER will locate and optionally unhide and even disable any hidden objects found.
NetWare Server Activity Tracking
DSMETER provides you with the ability to document the activity of your NetWare Server, including:
- When CPU utilization exceeds threshold (time-based)

With one in every four journeys being taken along its 300-mile network of cycle lanes, Sweden's third city of Malmö is often cited as one of the most cycle-friendly cities in a cycle-friendly country.
But even in a place that appears a paradise for thousands who use cargo bikes to ferry their children to school and bring home the groceries, there have been arguments over safety.
Every time any government proposes making cycle helmets compulsory, it sparks a fierce controversy; Malmö was no exception when Swedish ministers mooted a helmet law in 2005. Just one in 10 cyclists in the city wears one, according to designers Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin. The pair thought there must be a way round people's resistance to traditional polystyrene crash helmets. Wouldn't it be better to design something that cyclists would be happy to wear?
"People told us they are too bulky. 'I think it makes me look geeky', 'I don't like the way it interferes with my personal style and my hairdo' – a lot of vanity involved of course," said Alstin. "And then we just started brainstorming on how to solve all those problems for people. We started thinking about something that would not be on your head at all, in order to solve [the problem] that people wanted something that would not mess up their hair. That's what got us into thinking about airbag technology, because that is hidden most of the time until you need it and then it pops out."
After seven years of research and €13m (£10.6m) in funding, the result of their efforts can be seen on cyclists – although it can be hard to spot at first. Sitting around the neck like a snood, the Hövding collar – Swedish for chieftain – is packed with a folded airbag that inflates in a tenth of a second when the wearer is involved in an accident. With four upmarket London cycle shops now stocking the collar, the eagle-eyed may have spotted it around the UK capital.
"There are avalanche backpacks for skiers, there are vests with airbags for horseriders so it was starting to spread and we just decided that it is time for cyclists to have that protection as well," said Alstin.
For the collar to know when to inflate, the designers needed data from thousands of accidents re-enacted using dummies. At the same time, data from normal cycling where an accident was not involved was also put together and an algorithm written to differentiate the two.
Both crash scenarios and normal cycling movements were re-enacted with crash test dummies to give a bank of movement data for the device. When a cyclist turns on the Hövding, a sensor unit within the collar detects movements using gyroscopes and accelerometers – similar to technology used in smartphones and fitness bands. In the event of a crash, the sensors detect the movement and deploy the airbag.
The sensors can detect characteristic movements that happen in a crash and the device reacts by inflating the bag with helium, creating a dome over the head that leaves the face free and cushioning an impact in a similar way to a car airbag. A black box records details of the accidents for research purposes.
The collar is turned on by being zipped around the neck and attached with a clip, which prevents it accidentally triggering when not being worn. It is weighted at the back so it rests firmly while cycling and its creators say it gives greater cover to the head than traditional helmets.
This is not the end of the designers' difficulties – they also have to persuade cyclists to trust that their invention will not let them down. "I think people are very positive towards inventions until they are faced with the opportunity to try it themselves and then they turn into sceptics or they turn scared," said Alstin. "There are always early adopters or people who want to try everything new but the majority of people want to just wait and see how it goes and hear from someone they really trust, someone really close to them that 'yes, it is actually working and saved me in an accident'.
"It takes a lot of time to convince people. In the markets that we have been in the longest, we can definitely see how it is turning and finally people are starting to believe that this is here and now and I can finally trust this product."
With 20 employees at its Malmö headquarters, the company has secured its €13m funding from 10 investors, with Alstin and Haupt retaining a minority shareholding. The company is expected to move into profit in two years, although sales figures remain confidential. The company will only say that the invention is used equally by both sexes.
The arrival of the collar in London bike shops brings the number of stores it is sold in to 300 across 15 countries. Japan and north America beckon for future expansion, said Alstin. But the elaborate design comes at a price – including the fabric shell, which can give it a fashionable look, it costs £299. Additional fabric shells are another £49. Once the airbag itself is inflated in a crash, it cannot be used again.
Alstin admitted the cost was far higher than traditional helmets, which can cost a tenth of the price. "We have lowered the price every time we have had a chance to do that. We are working really hard to do that to reduce costs all the time.
"New products will always be the most expensive in the beginning and of course as volumes go up, there is even more room for price reductions. But I mean of course, compared to a regular helmet, it is way more expensive. For a student or a family with a lot of kids, it is a lot of money and all I can say is that it is a very expensive product to produce so we don't really have the possibility to sell it any lower at this point."
While the Hövding has just arrived in the UK, the airbag has already saved cyclists in other countries from injury, she said. "It is an amazing feeling to see it out on the streets being worn but most motivating of course is when you get the feedback from people who have been in accidents and have been saved," she said.
"Most of our customers are people who have never worn a traditional helmet because they don't like them for different reasons and they are extremely thankful, but they know that if they had been in this accident without Hövding, 'I would have been completely unprotected and I don't know how that would have ended for me'."
New in tech
• Got small hands? The new HTC One mini 2 – poor name, interesting phone – could be for you. It takes everything that made its bigger, more expensive flagship brother the 5-star HTC One M8 great and shrinks it down into a more pocketable size. It is a "selfie" camera with enough photo editing tricks to make anyone look good in seconds. Its all-day battery and a beautiful metal design make the One mini 2 a great phone, even if its 4.5-inch screen means it really isn't all that mini.
• Doctor Who is less fantastical a programme than you would think. Researchers from the University of Glasgow have created a sonic screwdriver. More like a pair of acoustic tweezers, the tool can move cells into patterns that could be used to repair damage to the human body. The patterns, described as a "cell tartan", could be created to fill holes or reconnect damaged nerves using just the power of sound.
• Forget fingerprints – finger vein patterns are the new chip and pin. A new hi-tech cash machine is being rolled out in Poland that scans the unique pattern of veins in a user's finger. It matches the card to the finger to verify the owner's identity and allows him or her to withdraw cash. The finger has to be functioning for the technology to work, which thankfully discourages muggers from claiming fingers while liberating wallets.
• Feature phones, the clunky precursors to smartphones that were centred on texts and calls, are dead. Motorola's new Moto E Android smartphone has them in its sights for £90 or less. A solid smartphone with all-day battery life, it is set to disrupt the budget smartphone market and kill off traditional phones. Your next smartphone may cost less because of this little low-cost wonder.
• It seems only months ago that the world was marvelling at the concept of 3D-printed mugs. Now there is talk of 3D-printed organs. Nanoengineers from the University of California, San Diego have created a 3D printer capable of printing a micro-cage that holds tiny particles capable of doing a liver's job and neutralising toxins from the blood. The hydrogel structure holds the nanoparticles in place, and turns red when toxins are captured. The technique could also be used to print replacement blood vessels and other parts.

I punched two holes on the front side of the bag and two holes on the back side of the bag. I measured approximately 1/3 of the width over from each edge so that the handles would be evenly spaced.
4. Use ribbon to make the handles of the bag. You will need two pieces of ribbon cut the same length {one for the front and one for the back}. They can be as long or as short as you would like. To attach the handles, pull the ribbon through the holes from the inside of the bag and then tie a knot on the outside. Then pull the other end of the same piece of ribbon through the other hole and tie a knot in it. Repeat the same process to make a handle on the back side of the bag too. I used a little bit of hot glue to hold the knot in place and make the handles a little stronger.
After about 10 minutes and a little bit of hot glue, you end up with a SUPER cute, No Sew Felt Library bag!

Debate: Take Care or Cole World?
Before I open up the floor here I'd like to weigh in on this debate. I'm anticipating both obviously, but this is one of those "put a gun to your head and choose one" type debates. Everyone's favorite. Ignore the fact that Cole's project drops a month before Drake's so you'll be anticipating it longer anyway. Lets break this down real quick….
Who had the better singles?
The lead singles from both of these albums lived up to the hype, to say the least. Cole's "Work Out" and recently released single "Can't Get Enough" featuring Trey Songz show promise for his debut album. I'm hoping to see more songs like "Can't Get Enough" than "Work Out" though. Then you have Drake's "Headlines" which was a little different than his usual lead single, but none of us were complaining. I think he's definitely mastered the art of mixing his singing with rapping and he didn't need a really catchy hook to get our attention. The Trey Songz feature wasn't prominent enough for me and wouldn't have minded if Cole just did the chorus himself. I give the edge to Drake on this one considering I still find myself enjoying "Headlines" a bit more.
Does less really mean more?
It's safe to say "So Far Gone" gave us the same excitement for "Thank Me Later" as J. Cole's now THREE mixtapes (The Come Up, The Warm Up, Friday Night Lights) has given us for "Cole World: A Sideline Story." Drake took over last summer with the success of his debut album, and at the same time Cole was building a buzz for his own album with the release of promotional single, "Who Dat." The beginning of 2011 was very quiet for Drake (to allow Weezy to get his buzz back being out of jail in my opinion) while we were listening to "Friday Night Lights" and an array of leaked tracks from J. Cole. Then "I'm on One" happened. And "Dreams Money Can Buy," "Marvins Room," "Trust Issues," and "Headlines" followed suit. He strategically placed them apart though leaving us anticipating his next move. So, is it quality over quantity? Although Drake more than made up for the music drought, I still would've really liked if he followed through on that R&B mixtape he promised. Give the slight edge to J. Cole here.
And finally….
Which album do I think will be better?
I was kind of disappointed when I saw that "In the Morning and "Lights Please" were going to be on Cole's album simply because they feel ancient at this point. In my opinion that is two brand new songs that we are getting cheated out of. It appears "Marvin's Room" will make the album due to the success from the unintentional single (peaking at #21 on the Billboard Hot 100.) "Take Care" also has confirmed features by Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, T-Pain, Stevie Wonder and, from a tweet he made early morning on September 6th ("Alllllll the way from memphis tennessee…and he got something special for ya'll tonight."), possibly a Justin Timberlake feature. I'm also curious to see if he gets his "idol" Jay-Z on board again after this so called beef. I've already gone ahead and claimed that "Take Care" would be album of the year so I'd be a hypocrite to say I'd think J. Cole's will be better. No potential for a sophomore slump here. J. Cole will impress us, but Drake will blow us away.

If u are interested in Hip Hop then Cole World, you should get but
if u only like what the media tells u then get drakes, and waynes all all of ymcmb

It is only J.Cole's first album. It's Drake's sophomore. You can't really compare the two albums unless they were both debut albums at the time. I give the edge to J.Cole though. You can't forget he produced the majority of the album himself. It's a two for one special for J.Cole.

September 7th, 2011 at 6:00 pm
@Adrian, your right.. i think cole had a big say in his songs but i think thats why the advantage is drake all the way.. Drake has 40 on his side along big time producers for his album.. J Coles songs are amazing and his stroy telling ability is somewhere gone from the rap/hip hop these days.. but that doesnt work for albums anymore.. i love his mixtapes, but you need hype, bangers, and big time hits for an album..thats why its time for him to realize that he should work with big time producers
LMH Reply:
September 7th, 2011 at 10:21 pm
Yes, Cole produced majority of his album, but that means nothing when his productions are mediocre. Let's not hype him up like he is Kanye West (super-producer and rapper).
Drake has found the perfect chemistry with his team (meaning 40 and Boi-1da, not Young Money) to the point where everything they make sounds authentic. J.Cole has not perfected his sound as of yet. I highly doubt his album will be better than "Thank Me Later" was, nor the way "Take Care" will be.
Disclaimer 1* I do listen to J.Cole's music. And I do think he has talent, and he's a good storyteller. However, until he steps up his wordplay and develops into his own artist, he will always sound like he's new to the game.
Disclamer 2* When I say "better", I don't mean who will sell more or who will have more radioplay. I'm speaking in terms of who will have a more quality album.

@LMH, "Thank Me Later" Was Garbage! I Was REally Hyped Up For That Album & When I Listened To It I Was Highly Disappointed, "So Far Gone" Was A Lot Better, I Use To Be A Drake Fan Back When He Made Music Like "The Calm" "Killers" "Say What's Real" & "Fear" But Now I Hear His New Music Like "Headlines" & I Can't Help But Think That He's Just Becoming Lil Waynes Puppet! J.Cole Is Ganna Kill Tha Game, He Won't Sell As Much As Drake But That's Only Because People Don't Like Real Hip-Hop & Rap, J.Cole Is A True MC, "Cole World: Sideline Story" Will Be Better Than "Take Care" #ColeWorld!

@Alan, Cole came int the game and in my opinion, if it wasnt for drake, cole would have the game in his pocket. say what you want but Drake is in a league of his own. Not taking anything away from J Cole, his an old school rapper with deep talents, and by the way, J Cole's word play is better then anyone out there. Only thing missing from Cole is diversity in his style, album. LHM is right about the drake finding the perfect chemistry with his team. J Cole needs these people as well

Well I've been jamming to Lost Ones by J.Cole a lottt lately, which I think is an amazing song. I'm anticipating both albums very much and I did enjoy Headlines a bit more than Work Out and I enjoyed Trust Issues a bit more than Can't get enough. But if Cole's album is more like Lost ones and Headlines, than I'm gonna have to give him the edge on who will have the better album.
But I'm a big fan of both so I can't wait for both to drop.
Pablo on September 7th, 2011 8:16 am
More like "Lost Ones" than "Work out" I mean * Correction
UnOrthodox on September 7th, 2011 8:25 am
I love both artists, although I do like J. Cole better so this might seem a bit biased.
I'm anticipating Cole's WAY more. But the reason is this is because, In all honesty "Thank Me Later" disappointed me, and I didn't think it was such a good follow up to "So Far Gone" which I thought was amazing. And I anticipated it so much cuz he had two GREAT mixtapes prior to "So Far Gone". He had amazing feature verses whenever he did one so I thought it is going to be a great album." But to me, it was mehh, few songs stood out to me. I felt like he held alot back. "9am in Dallas" topped most of the songs on "Thank Me Later" Buzz does not equal quality or good. If he puts out a mainstream song, but I like it, then by all means. While Cole has 3 equally good mixtapes under his belt. So I think it's Drake all over where I expect a great quality album, while Drake disappointed me with "Thank Me Later" and broke his streak. Still anticipating it, just not as much as Cole's. My 2 cents anyways
JayElec on September 7th, 2011 8:27 am
Really killer?? comparing a sophmore album with a freshman album??lol anyways i prefer Cole World. Drakes singing is not my thang plus to me hes More of a pop artist. I mean we should compare thank me later with cole world when it comes out better??lol

domican on September 7th, 2011 8:34 am
take care will take album of the year. i mean i quote "stevie wonder liked it". he has production from 40, boi-1da, t-minus. thats his crew right there. hes getting ppl like DJ KHALIL, DJ PREMIER, the XX, 9th wonder, and the neptunes.. he got THE WEEKND on the album, stevie wonder, rick ross, lil wayne. are the only collabos. expect about 24 songs on the birthday edition of the album. actually i think t pain will not be on the album, and Justin timberlake will probably be on the album. drake already said headlines was definitively not the best song on TAKE CARE. and j cole is a good rapper but sometimes i feel as thought people overate him and call him the next pac and nas which he really isn't. his wordplay and the words he chooses are elementary type, i mean he went to college so i would expect alot more word play but he hasn't put out that lyricism as the likes of "phonte" and others. his production is alright, i give him credit for producing the majority of his music but it would matter most if you were great at it, i feel as though his production is too simple and find it quite boring. he needs to step it up. but cole world will be like FNL but with a bit more clear story to cole and who he is. after his first album, cole needs to find his lane, i feel as though hes just another new school rapper, he needs to find his sound and perfect it. and he needs to put away his ego in his music because its not favorable.

@domican, Respect your thoughts bro. But i mean if drakes album sounds anything like thank me later personally shits going to be pretty wack. my opinion. i feel like though j cole might not sell as much as drake might of his freshman album j coles album can be better..comparing these two right now is not even fair cause j cole barely putting out his first album out and i think will b better than thank me later just cause i feel like thank me later was poppish. though i liked a few songs but got tired of them quick. CarterIV got so much hype and wasnt that good of an album. They hype there albums so much to make it seem a classic in the making lol But i feel u only cole finding his lane i feel like he hasnt found it yet, as oppose choosing the underground or "mainstream" like drake. As far as jcole not putting out the lyricism i disagree with you. Better Rapper and lyricist ill take cole anyday over drake i mean drakes past features in songs been sounding the same to me..dont u think?
domican Reply:
September 7th, 2011 at 8:58 am
nah drake even said he felt as tho he was holding back in his debut album to make it sound "1st album ish". he said he felt disconnected and he himself wasn't really vibing with the music. but personally i think thank me later was solid album, he did something different he rapped about how the fame was doing him bad and how he was numb to it and how crazy it was, it got great reviews though. and TAKE CARE will be different, hes more confident now, he stated its not thank me later but its more on the lines of comeback season and so far gone. he's gonna rap about something different and hes acually gonna tell a story. i feel like don;t judge the album off of headlines but more on the lines of "dreams money can buy, and paris morton music. and i agree thank me later was poppish with some tracks. and take care isn't really hyped as much as you think, but alot of people know about it. just like how alot of people knows about coles. i was listening to cole since 08, he's about to drop his 1st album, he's what, about like 70 % done with his second album. but he needs to find his lane and drop complete music, like master the style you rap. drake is the better songwriter, singer and he can rap, possibly go toe to toe with cole if he wanted to. j cole can produce, RAP like its still the 90s which i like from him, but he needs to have more word play. you've listened to phonte right? cole needs to tap into his college vocab camp and spit like that, not spit like his ego or dumb it down. hes smart and i just want him to succeed in terms of producing but he needs to be coached or mentored about sounds and have more music that's sonically appealing just like how drake is touring with his vocal coach. but he will get there. he needs to spend more time on music though.

@domican, yea I feel wat ur saying. But I guess we gonna have to wait. Artist can say what they want but all that matters is when album drops. Personally I liked Drake in comeback season and if he has songs like that on take care it'll be way better than thank me later. I mean my girls a huge Drake fan but forgot about thank me later already and not alot of plp bump it anymore what does that say about that album? Coles going to do good he can rap and I personally think he doesn't belong in Drake's world..mainstream music is wack now same topics every song. J Cole don't talk about the same things..girls cars money taking subliminals at upincoming artist to sound "hard" I don't think that's deep even girl problems isn't deep what artist don't talk about that now a days? U hear artist making songs like lost ones? I certainly don't. Kendrick coleee the truth in my eyes. Hope comeback season comes back tho. I certainly would enjoy that!

@domican, and disagree with u in saying Drake is abetted song writer maybe at making poppish records and music for the radio yea but as far as writing and spitting naa bro. And no offense if u thought thank me later was solid then that's sad lol I mean ur giving me excuses about Drake stating he wasn't feeling this or that but as an artist your suppose to want to drop the best album u can especially your first album. When plp look back at your career they see your first album the chronic ilmatic reasonable doubt Marshall Mather's LP ect. Why would an artist not want to try n make it a classic for his first album? I think he should have took his time and make it good instead of rushing it. That k me later will be forgotten in less than 5years
domican Reply:
September 7th, 2011 at 9:53 am
no i acually quoted this. and i mean coles ego lead him to believe he can acually pull it off, producing his own album but its not working. how many failed singles has it been? because he can't write a complete SONG. a hook, a bridge, vell complete thought out verse, a concluding bar. don't bring drake's radio reputation into this, hes untouchable on the radio. just because hes on the radio doesn't mean he is less than j cole. actually i can tell you many ways how drake is better than j cole. there's a difference between rapping, and writing a song. drake is deffinilty the better song writer with multiple song writing awards, he's written for many famous artists, he has written with Stevie wonder. thank later has gotten an overal 8.5/10 in cumulative reviews. its not a classic, its not timeless but solid. drake's radio play isnt poppish, popish is WIZ, BRUNO MARS, B.O.B. best i ever had wasn't poppish, fancy wasnt poppish at all, just because it got alot of play it is not called poppish. people just simply love it. and if j cole had dropped a "fancy" then all cole fans would ride him like there no tommorow. all the albums you just mentioned were released before the new millennium. and for your info drake gets more praise than cole, even from "legends", jay z promoted drake more than any of his label mates. cole has 2 mixtape songs on his album, 2 mediocre singles that are rather bad, and 2 records that has already leaked. cole stans talk about "lost ones" like its the new "ny state of mind" and act like nobody have ever touched ont hat subject matter. but many have, many have already talked about living poor and blowing up and college life different sub topics of girls. FNL dropped people were on that for like 2 weeks then where did the hype go? people didn't talk about it anymore but people still talk about so far gone, because it was original, great, and sold and sounded like an album. thank me later was controlled by the label, he was rushed, he couldn't stop or change the date because it was already confirmed and other things out of his control. i could rant all day about this because its mostly true.

@domican, idk what stans your talking about lol I never said he was the next Nas. Seems to me like your taking it personal trying.to defend Drake. To me it is poppish I don't listen to the radio fnl is still on my playlist so far gone ehh not really though I liked it alot. I'm all about underground so to me Drake makes poppish songs. And u said it urself Cole has failed with singles and its true and that's why I said he hasn't found his lane and that drakes world wasn't it. True hiphop heads stay on that fnl so don't try n tell me plp don't.listen to that anymore lol and the reviews your talking about are from what rolling stones?lol wtf they knw about "hiphop" lol I mean if u call the shit that's on the radio good then I mean there's no point in debating with u lol. Wnat to hear a classic EP then section 80 is it. Don't try n shove reviews n BS like that cause that doesn't mean shit. Carter IV got a 4out5 lol I mean its sad how plp think now a days. Hiphop ain't dead it lives in the underground. J Cole belongs in the underground like I previously stated he doesn't belong in that world. He's too lyrical to be in the radio drops too much knowledge for the average person to comprehend. That's why cats like Drake belong there. Good writers making catchy"hooks" then raps about the money fame bottles girls as usual. Hiphop is more that. That doesn't feed my brain. I want some real food for thought

okay your an underground fan, im a fan of music. im stating things that are true. you cant always bring up the "true hip hop" but they are confused. and you speak like your defending Cole, you said"drakes world" like whats that? lol. and no carter iv was horrible and got horrible reviews, idk where you got 4/5 from. and rolling stone is MUSIC. hip hop is not its own music, which i thinka ll underground fans try to drill int heir head. all undergound fans hate radio so your biased as of right now. ive heard section and it is way farther beyond terms of anything j cole can rap. RAP AND HIP HOP aren't the same. and j cole wants to be mainstream, why be underground and be washed up. nas was balanced, eminem was balanced. drake doesnt rap about poppin bottles like you exxagerated, he talks about girls but its relatable to everybody. kendrick lamar talked about girls, and money but in the sense of it being politically misused. alot of what kendrick lamar says goes over alot of people's heads. FNL isnt as nearly talked about as SO FAR GONE. and dont put lil wayne and drake in the same sentence, cater iv was just horrible. that album could single handedly kill hip hop.

Sucks that the world thinks lil Wayne is an "icon" or the face of hiphop that goes to show how much of a joke mainstream is. I liked drakes old shit. Not much of it now. I can predict what he's goin talk about. I mean same for jcole but I mean u hear different shit from him here n there. I haven't heard anyone talk about so far gone in awhile lol so again idk where u get all this from..I mean if u could tell me what's so "emotional" or "deep" bout the radio then I would 100% agree with you. But its the same shit all the time. I mean what's there to like about the radio? If there's way more talent in the underground. J Cole wants to go mainstream and if ends up one day rapping about the same girls bottles fame then he wont catch my eyes anymore. That's jus my taste I music and why I see it like that. Are awards n reviews suppose to impress me or something?lol Carter Iv sold amillion coolies that goes to show how the mainstream works..but anyways it was cool debating.lol no hard feelings bro

Ryan Louis on September 7th, 2011 8:53 am
drake is consistent, but that gets real boring and repetitive after a while. with j. cole every song he puts out is a brand new sound and a brand new story he's trying to tell. you can't judge The Side Line Story off of Work Out and Can't Get Enough just because that is not his m.o. Lost Ones and God's Gift are a better source of comparison towards the rest of the album. Drake's gon' have to try and Take Care cuz he's living in a Cole World !!
karim on September 7th, 2011 9:13 am
I can't read the comments anymore.
Drake and J.Cole are different styles.
Drake is doing his 2nd album " Take Care"
Before that, he dropped " So Far Gone"
That hyped up all the fans and people surrounding Drake, if its gonna be a good album
So Far Gone, come on, for a MIXTAPE, he had Lil Wayne, Bun B, Trey Songz, Young Jeezy, that was crazy, then he dropped Forever which had wayne, kanye and EMINEM. now let's not forget, that song was crazy, verse of the year people we're saying about that entire song, Drake took the limits beyond it.
J.Cole how many mixtapes has he done? 3? and now he's dropping album, which he kept changing the dates!
Fans got pissed, Drake didn't change it, he dropped it!
Drake is really famous
J.Cole isn't on that level

Yea but the reason he had so much hype was cuz of Wayne's Co-Sign, who at the time was REALLY on top of the game. Whether people liked him or not, He was still really relevant. And like you said, he had crazy features. But Cole carried most of his mixtapes on his own.

@UnOrthodox, True that, if j cole did a lot more features with jay z in his mixtapes or whatever he would probably be more famous than he is right now

@John, J cole doesn't really collab with other artist he likes too keep shit to himself. Im sure since he sighned to the ROC he could just ask Rihanna for a hook and he has a big hit. But he keeps shit real. That's why his album is gonna be a classic!
Thomas J. on September 7th, 2011 9:28 am
This article could not be more accurate. Although the incomprehensible comparison between debut and sophomore albums seems crazy, if both rappers are lyrically and uniquely offer something different to the game at this point, it wouldn't matter what album number it is. If you can rap you can rap…period.
It is CLEAR that Drake can rap, his mind is so creative and it really shows throughout his music. At the same token, J. Cole is sick and a lot of what he says is relate able like the deeply insightful "Lost Ones." It depends on your preference of rapper. Drake; the pop beat killer ("What's Your Name," "Headlines,"), who has the ability to murder tracks with the best of today's rappers, ("She Will") while sometimes even singing the hook ("I'm On One")…..or J. Cole the lyrically brilliant monster who's creativity with song structure ("God's Gift) is untouchable. Crooners like ("Work Out") who offered some variety but failed to generate much buzz, are saved by collaborative tracks like [Can't Get Enough].
I believe their on two different levels, J. Cole prolonged his debut for so long, Drake is a step and a half ahead…
kbrian on September 7th, 2011 9:31 am
Drake's whole demeanor, swag, and attitude has changed thus far since his earlier mixtapes (the ones featuring Fear, The Winner, Closer to my Dreams, the presentation, etc). if you noticed, his voice has changed, and has become much more confident, maybe even arrogant, and nonetheless, much more commercially appealing. If you don't believe me, listen to "The Winner" and then listen to "Headlines". The way and how he says his words are a lot different (his ego has grown, but his fame and success gives him a good excuse. i admit, he is amazing and deserving). Thank Me Later was a damn near classic to me. I literally enjoyed every track on that album. What you have to realize is, is that this a former actor, trying to strive in the rapping world. I find that having the ability to rap about various topics, without being from a project, trap, or hood, is remarkable. Jay-z will always have references to his drug king pin days, while Lil' Wayne and The Game can talk about their blood gang, and Kanye West can rap about his near life-death experiences as well as the poverty and violence in chicago. Drake, however, is a Degrassi actor who was portrayed as someone in a wheel chair. He is Jewish, as well as someone who has been raised in Canada. With that being said, there's not a lot to brag about- and yet, he has surprisingly survived the hip-hop critics, and shown great success in the MC world. it is a classic story about how it doesn't matter where you are from, but more importantly, where you're going.
Now, J. Cole on the other hand, is able to rap about his past in North Carolina's hood (fayettenam), and he uses this to it's fullest (not in a bad way). He makes some of us aware of the things that go on in everyday life of those living in poverty, living in hostile gang territory, etc. This targets those who are living the reality of these streets, which creates a big fan base. At what first seems to be the start of a one dimensional rapper, he then starts to make songs about things that can be relevant to anyone. These being songs such as Lost Ones, giving both sides to a story of a pregnant woman, and the father; another one would be farewell (off of FNL), a strong and powerful track about the reminiscent past that everyone every so often ponders about from time to time; and In The Morning, a sensual lust of a very sexually active generation. This second dimension that J. Cole posses does wonders, for it does not only limit him to spit about that trap shit, but expands his creativity as well as more material for more people to relate to, thus giving a larger fan base. The only thing that J. Cole lacks would be radio hits. Work Out and Can't Get Enough aren't really songs that people today want to hear on the radio. Those two songs would be in the same queue pool as pittbull, kesha, lil wayne, big sean, katy perry, bruno mars, etc. I just don't see it working out. I'm sorry for those lyrical fans out there, but lyricism just isn't cool anymore. Which makes me believe that j. cole will never be as big as the artist in the YMCMB roster (radio/$$ wise).
Take Care Vs. The Sideline Story
What it comes down to is this:
Punchlines vs Lyricism (although both artist may contain both, it is obvious to say that Drake is a punchline maniac [not in a bad way- i always wonder how he comes up with the stuff that he does] and that J. Cole is an exceptional lyricist who contains a lot of narrative power and ultimately a well established flow).
poppin' bottles, female problems vs money, and the shit you hear on the news
or a better way to put it..
Jay-z vs. Nas
With Drake being Jay-z (the better entertainer/artist) and J. Cole being nas (the better poet, lyricist, and rapper).
For my 2 cents, #coleworld. #dreamville. #rocnation. #lyricsarelife.

I'm sorry to have written so much, but i forgot to mention this that everyone should take notice in.
When you look at Drake's previous track history, try and see how many features he has on his mixtapes, especially the ones with Weezy. If you don't, then i will tell you this straight up. There is A LOT of Weezy features. During this time, Weezy was considered one of the greatest rappers alive (with just coming out with the Carter 3, correct me if i'm wrong). This helps Drake exponentially, to have the majority of Lil' Waynes fan base behind you.
Then you look at J. Cole's previous mixtape history and check how many features. There's not a lot, there's practically none. And if there is, there's not really a power house rapper to give him that type of attraction that Weezy did for Drake.
I don't want to say that Drakes whole success is due to the crutch of wayne, but i have to say it gave him quite the shortcut. J. Cole has said it himself in interviews that he wants the minimal amount of features, because he wants to present him to us (and that's how it should be.)
If i buy a J. Cole CD, i want to listen to J. Cole, not to have a different rapper on a verse on every track. It's like buying Tha Carter IV and listening to outro for the first time, where the hell is Wayne on it?

Steven on September 7th, 2011 9:58 am
I think Drake will have the better album. He's done finding himself artistically, and he's mastering his art form. Cole is a good artist, but doesn't have enough lyricism to be compared to the new Nas like people are giving him credit for, and isn't really bringing anything all that new to the table. If you think Cole is anywhere near Nas's level by the way, you need to go re-listen to some Nas albums.
The fact that Cole also produced the majority of his own songs, kind of takes him down a level for me. As a producer I can appreciate an artist who can do both, but his style for beats is always the same, and lacks a lot of originality and versatility that an album needs. If you have Premo making one track, and then Timbaland on another track, obviously the two are going to sound pretty damn different because of their different styles of producing. If you have Cole making all the tracks, in my opinion the album is going to be very bland and sounding like every other Cole song up to now, with the same style hook he has been using lately.
I'm a huge fan of both, but I think comparing the two isn't fair, because Cole still needs a lot more time to grow and mature as an artist. So for now, Drake takes it for this round of albums.

I think The Warm Up is more timeless than both Thank Me later and So Far Gone. I think J Cole is not trying shine off other people's shine via Top Producers and All Star features. He is trying to have an Álbum thats about him. With that being said i like both them niggers, they really represent the youth thats getting money authentically..no drug dealing bullshit, we off that! I ma try cop them both, but Cole i am mos def copping
J on September 7th, 2011 10:53 am
All I gotta say is..
To wait till the damn albums drop and then we can do the judging and comparison between what one is the greater one?
Cuz if it comes down to who sells more then without a doubt Drake is gonna sell up the ass!!! But I say just wait and see which one OS the better
J on September 7th, 2011 10:54 am
* to see which one is the better album..
Drew on September 7th, 2011 10:56 am
This is all i have to say and don't comment my *ish unless you got some real evidence to back that shit up..
Cole Albums-0
Drake Albums-1
yeah drizzy is one up on Cole as far as albums go at the moment and blah blah blah but Thank Me Later felt like he was experimenting a lot and if you look at what he was doing while making the album you would see he never really had good quality time to work on the album like he's doing with take care. its like drizzy was tryin too hard to get that Grammy he still doesn't have and lost where he was going with it. he said he signed with young money to make the music "he wants" and not have the headaches of labels giving him a direction for an album but look at what ended up happening..Too much pop. in my opinion.
he's definitely progressed with his music but still has some searching to do.
then there's Cole, has no album, a few mixtapes, 2 singles, album getting pushed back, shit to be honest i'm intrigued to hear what the album will be like.
i honestly cant say too much on Cole cause he hasn't put out an album yet and everyone on here is debating Drake's album to Cole's mixtapes and the lyricism and punchlines of them 2 in my OPINION. Now if this was a Mixtape debate between the 2 then that's a different story. Quez shoulda put this debate out a week after Cole World then this would be a good refute between the two..
if everyone does this then the world would be a better place towards music.

I don't understand why people are always trying to compare artists in this genre. Hip-Hop is the only style of music that the fans feel the need to pick 'em all apart like this. THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ARTISTS. They both make shit that i like. J. Cole's mixtapes are flames, and Drake's been doing his thing for a minute now. Dont hate, Appreciate.
And I don't understand how we are suppose to judge on two albums that aren't even out yet? Let's have this conversation in November, when both albums have droped, and they're fully digested.
pack on September 7th, 2011 12:39 pm
well.. it all depends on how you look at it. if you looking straight for rap.. then go for j.cole. the misconception people make.. is that drake is a rapper. he is an entertainer (i would say artist..but he hasnt reached that yet). the whole young money team are entertainers.. wayne especially. by that i mean.. they will make whatever they think people will buy. that is not limited to rap..that is not limited to hip-hop. drake lost alot of respect from me a long time ago when he went the singing route. i was a fan of drake because of his rapping. i understand singing a little bit here and there.. but not when you start making whole r&b songs. he slowly became 'ja rule 2.0′ to me. at this point.. i dont wanna hear songs from drake unless he is on a feature..or the song is three minutes or less. that is when he shines. in all honesty.. that last drake album was for women. i need to drake to get back to the uptempo..clever lyric kid he was. with all that said.. j.cole's album will mean more than drake's. the man produces his own beats..understands the use of the soul/singing sample..and not to mention he destroys those beats. j.cole raps about real life. the 'normal nigga'. im looking forward to his album alot more than drake's because i know what drake has to offer. im not checking for a drake album. im looking for cole world. the debut album from the future of hip-hop.
young angel on September 7th, 2011 1:05 pm
i think drake has an advantage. because he has the best production team period(40, boi1da,t-minus,oliver) plus he can sing, he doesnt realy need alot of features. on top of that he has weezy (im not saying he is the best), who will have more then one feature on drakes album. unlike jcole who struggled to get one verse from jayz. how can jayz be featured once on this album?. if jcole producers the majority of the album, then it wont be better then drakes album. jcole should be very picky on his features.
drake is way more versatile then jcole.im sorry to say this but ymcmb in-terms of marketing their artists they are way more better then roc-nation
Muggsy on September 7th, 2011 1:10 pm
Cole World will be better. Drake, already early in his career, has become too mainstream. I expect more singing tracks than TML had. Also, Cole, with the help of Hov, knows he can't go nothing but hard on his 1st album. Debut albums can make or break artists and Cole's fully aware of this. I expect Simba to kill. NEITHER WILL BE BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR THOUGH.

J. Cole takes this, as far as lyricism goes, Drake isn't anywhere near Cole's caliber… what the question should be is J.Cole – Cole World: The Sideline Story or Big K.R.I.T. – Live from the Underground…. both dropping 9/27….. definitely buying both, but gun to my head, I guess I be dead. lol

Drake's Take Care will definitely be the album of the year trust issues, marvins rooms, dreams money can buy, headlines weren't classics but were extremely original and very good .The new wave of Drake style came from him finding his lane on his seconds album. Let's not gives excuses for his first album though it was a solid album but nowhere near the level it should have been for an artist like Drake debut album. Don't bring up the thing where Drake felt the album was rushed then complain when J.Cole delays his album. Let's not forget that before TML came Drake was saying that he worked hard in it, was proud of his work, and fans are going to be like it alot. Meanwhile Cole's work was pretty blend and dumbed down but Can't get Enough is a good single and for an artist like Cole i feel in a commercial output that's best he's going to be able to get.

COLE WORLD allll day man. J. Cole is just too real for any artist out there today. Two different styles of rap but personally I liked Drake a lot better when he was actually going hard on tracks instead of this singing nonsense. He conformed in a way that greats such as eminem, nas, and jay-z have not. Cole is as real as they come and he produces all of his music. He doesn't need a producer like 40 or Boi-1da when he produces fire on his own. COLE WORLD
Felipe on September 7th, 2011 10:36 pm
I was very upset also when I saw 'lights please' & 'in the morning' he could of used 2 other songs and like he said it himself in an interview, "I have so much material" so that gets you kinda mad when you connect A & B but in the end you're still stuck with A. But I'm still Cole World all the way!
Shane on September 7th, 2011 10:50 pm
J. Cole does not produce "fire" he produces mediocre beats and has decent lyrics. Drake on the other hand is a person who has mastered his art of lyrics, punchlines, etc. 40 and Boi-1da are amazing producers that are far better than J. Cole.

Carter 4 sucks sweaty king kong balls, should NEVER be compared to WTT which was not what we expected, but still a great album. Now I'm a big Drake fan, but I'm also a Cole fan and J. Cole has been da most consistent rapper of the new school. Fame didn't affect the quality of his music at all, unlike Drake who was a little shaky for some time until recently. He got crazy punchlines and spits real shit, not dat wayne n his whack ass rhymes shit. So I can already [readict Cole world will b > to take care.

I'm going to buy both the albums, I couldn't compare both of them if I wanted to because they are different kind of artists with different focuses.
Drake aims at making songs people will enjoy and vibe to, no matter how exciting or dull the lyrics maybe.
J.Cole aims to make songs that are lyrically rich, even if they aren't all that entertaining.
I like them both and i'm personally more of an OVOXO Drizzy Drake fan, but i'm still for Coleworld as well, and i'll purchase both like a #truefan

Drake said it himself.. Cole's his favorite rapper. J. Cole is a lyrical fiend, while Drake is more of the pop/mainstream genius. Take Care probably will go platinum first week, cause of the buzz. Cole world, probably will barely go gold.
I'm Cole World all day, but the truth is lyricism is gone. Sad to say, but I don't think it'll come back fast enough for us lyricists lovers to enjoy on the radio.

Chris Crawford on September 12th, 2011 3:49 pm
Because of Drake's past, I am just the hugest Drake fan. His story (not the acting on Degrassi part) is just so relatable to mine that I made him my hero and idol when I heard it. He's made tremendous strides since his days of being Jimmy and he's learned a lot since Room For Improvement. I love the man cuz his lyrics, while not the deepest are still very impressive and speak a trueness that we all can relate to on a basic level, always keep me interested and he represents that people like me can do anything in this world if we try n work hard enough.
J.Cole…..I don't have much to say about him since I really don't listen to his music so I won't make a long comment. The way his buzz seems to me, I think his career (starting with this album coming out) will go one of two ways: 1) With his 1st album being a success he will officially join the ranks of the "spotlight artists" as I call them and he'll have twice as much buzz and anticipation for his sophomore album. 2) Because of his style n lyricism, the mainstream world may not latch onto him and push him aside after this album and a couple of singles. This album will set the tone……so all I can really say is he better deliver like a mufucka with his shit. I'ma buy it just to see if he does.
Now to address the issue of who's album is going to be better: Take Care or Cole World. Because of my fandom and lack of listening to J.Cole I would naturally say Take Care but I want to put out some doubts on both album and illuminate some good points brought up by other people regarding boy albums to leave my decision as fair and unbiased as possible:
Thank Me Later wasn't amazing, even I'll admit that, BUT that was Drake's plan from the beginning: "I'm jus tryna pace it so that I'm always chasin it" from the 1st verse off the 1st song of the album, Fireworks. He knows his time is in a sense limited because of his topic content and style, he's well aware that he many not last forever so he's really trying to take the attention he's captured, and live up to it in parts and slowly, enjoying as much as he can. So in that sense TML did exactly what he wanted; kept our attention, didn't impress us. So with that in mind, I don't expect too much else from Take Care, a good album no doubt, but won't be to the typical "Drake Standard" as we've seen from RFI, CS and SFG. Especially looking at the singles he's had out from the album already; Trust Issues, Marvin's Room, Dreams Money Can Buy, and Headlines, I suspect this album to be primarily focused on his life accepting the fame he's entered into and what it's like living in it. And even though this is going to be a good album, I fear that Drake is sort of declining. The first time I heard Marvin's Room and Dreams Money Can Buy I was terrified this was the new Drake, seriously a fall off from his mix tape prowess. The rest of the songs pretty much followed suit and it worried me that we'd never get the same Drake again. Buy stepping back I think this may be temporary because of his current status and we may need to wait a few years before he does a 180 of some sorts n starts really showing us what he can do and living up to the pedestal we put him on originally.
So Take Care will be decent, prolly not great, but listen-worthy and good enough to keep on the iPod.
Flipping over to Cole World, I think that because of the amount of meaning behind this debut album, it is way more potent than Take Care. So Cole wins there. But now to get down to the actual content of the album; all his fans are pumped for it to be released, and hoping on the wagon late, so am I..but that doesn't say anything about how the album will perform nor what it will contain. Because of the type of content Cole puts in his songs, I feel like his topics are limited and eventually we'll no longer find that "shock value" in his music, still good, just not shocking and people will lose interest. Maybe his producing will add another element to the equation but as people are commenting his beats don't seem to be topic of the year. So in the end, I feel he and Drake are kind of in the same boat of limited time, just in two different parts of the river.
To conclude it: Take Care < Cole World

It is all STUNNING Fran. She is beyond lucky to have your help. I'd live with 100% of these choices any day! :) They could all just go right into my living room, thank you very much.ReplyDelete
Excellent information and facts. Only real difficulty I was basically receiving was viewing the pics. No idea exactly why.ReplyDelete

Love them all! Great job. What is the leaf fabric on the left please? Thx!ReplyDelete
Great choices, Fran. I actually prefer the John Robshaw over the scramble - love the red and the larger scale. Hope we get to see it all done!ReplyDelete
Beautiful selections, Fran! I especially love the John Robshaw fabric - so pretty with a little bohemian element. Can't wait to see it as it unfolds!!ReplyDelete

Hi, I love the leather wing chair. I am looking for something similar, something that has very traditional lines but still with a modern flair. Can you share the manufacturer of this chair? Thank you. I do so enjoy your blog.ReplyDelete
Great ?V I should certainly pronounce, impressed with your website. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs as well as related info ended up being truly simple to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Reasonably unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or anything, web site theme . a tones way for your customer to communicate. Nice task.ReplyDelete

Dates and Times
30 July 2015 to 31 July 2014 at 9pm
Presented by Ben Norris
Produced by Louisa Davies and Oscar French
A one-man show about love, loss, and motorways.
Join writer-performer and UK poetry slam champion Ben Norris as he battles the country's most notorious service stations and the perils of lower-league football in search of the man who became his father. Born in London, Ben's dad then moved to Welwyn Garden City, then Breachwood Green, then Langford, and then Nottingham. Always North, and always loosely in line with the M1. Which got Ben thinking…
So he decided to start in Nottingham, where he was born and grew up, and where his dad still lives, and hitchhike south down the M1, backwards in time through his father's life. This poetic multimedia ramshackle pilgrimage is the result. By turn hilarious and moving, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Family explores the merits of Travelodge while asking searching questions of identity.
"A more capable storyteller would be hard to find" – The Tab
"Accessible and arresting – never at the cost of complexity and depth – Norris combines poignancy and comedy, the colloquial and the poetic" – Apples & Snakes
