I’ve been with Cole Since The ComeUp! His music is the reason I started to push myself to grind & be better! Plus We have the same name, we’re both from NC & and we both hoop!
im the biggest j cole fan because ihave every single song of his on my ipod and he is all that i listen to basically. i listen to him every single day and he is the best rapper in the game. going to be a legend no doubt in my mind
twiiter: @tgilbs
@LKRashley -I believe I am his biggest fan!!! I can also relate myself a lot to his music. not any artist I can relate myself to that speaks the truth and doesn’t rant about how much money they have. Cole has that greatness in him to be one of the best in our generation!!

I was late on J. Cole, I got into him around 3/11. But when I heard Simba, it gave me chills and I now have 132 song by/featuring him. He’s my obsession that I have no shame about. Cole world.
I’m the biggest J. Cole fan because, although I became a fan long after “The Come Up” mixtape, “The Warm Up” is still one of my favorite pieces of work by any artist to this day. I was a proud attendee of Cole’s “Dollar and a Dream” show in NYC after his debut album released (which I bought three of). Doing a search for J. Cole in my iTunes library yields 284 songs; that’s 16.5 hours of Cole’s solo work, features, as well as production (even songs when he was known as Therapist). I think I’m more of a Cole stan than a Cole fan. And that’s why I’m the biggest J. Cole fan. “Cole World, no snuggie.”
I’m also now following alll four!(:
I bought 5 copies of Cole World: TSS and to keep my friends from illegally downloading it I bought them copies. I went to a Rihanna concert just to see J. Cole open.
Man I love j.cole. All three mixtapes were amazing and the album was amazing. I bought the album the first day it dropped. I was at best buy I’m my pj’s buying it. I’ve saw cole a whole bunch of times. At summer jams, on club paradise. I’m a huge fan of his. I rep him from the Bay Area. I haven’t had the privilege to meet him yet, but an autographed copy of his album would be awesome. He’s the shizzzzz. @ashleysayhello
I love j cole. This guy has inspired me more than my parents. The realness in his lyrics is what drew me to him. If you ask ill say he’s the greatest of all time but I’m biased. Music was just music until he came along. I have to get a dose of him everyday if not my day is not the same.
Biggest J. Cole fan because:
-have every one of his songs since he went by Therapist
-top 25 songs in my iTunes are all J Cole
-listen to the entire Warm Up mixtape everyday from beginning to end
-was first in line to buy tickets to all three J Cole concerts I’ve been to
-first person to buy CWTSS at my local FYE (got there before it opened)
I been a fan of cole since The Come Up Mixtapee, i lovee his music! Iy change my life, i WILL LOVE TO WIN! Please!

I am the biggest J.Cole fan because I relate to everything he says. Being a mixed kid, white mother black father, tryin to make it in school. From the first time i heard him spit i was instantly a fan. I have seen him in concert 5 times, including driving all the way to chicago to see him at the house of blues. Nobody does it like Cole. #ColeWorldNoBlankets

i’m the biggest J.Cole fan because i’ve been a fan since before he made it big. J.cole is one of the best rappers ever and is definitely changing the game. Cole World: The Sideline Story was the best album i’ve ever owned. I listen to it everyday.
Twitter:@_Dai_89
J. Cole changed my life. I started getting into his music when I heard Lil’ Ghetto Nigga and Simba and those two songs alone changed me. Then he released The Warm Up, Friday Night Lights and The Sideline Story and my life just kept changing for the better. I’m his biggest fan because he’s my role model and without him,I don’t know where I’d be at right now.
@Connorsyr
To be honest I dont think i am the biggest J.Cole fan out there but I am a hugeee fan of his he has been my favorite rapper since i heard the warm up and then i went back and listened to his older stuff like the come up and when he was therapist. I know there are bigger crazier fans but his music always inspired me to follow my dreams and i am, Cole’s music made me reflect on my own life and help me get through struggles in my life like my fathers suicide and close family alcoholism and drug abuse. I salute J.Cole on all his accomplishments and cant wait for more music from him. Cole World best fans in the whole world
He is my idol! He’s music is the only type of music I can listen to in relation to my dad. I do not only have everysong I UNDERSTAND everysong!!! I am not afraid to say I have never met him but I have listened to enough of his music to say I know him!
I am the Biggest Jermaine Lamar Cole fan cuz I have been following him since I heard the Come Up. Before he signed with Hov and all that… its been a #coleworld for a looonggg time @motezm23
Because I was the one who dressed up as J. Cole last Halloween. @EddieBalzer
@jsciro5
And because I have the first comment lol @motezm23
Forgot my twitter haha @cobby555
There isn’t a j. Cole song I haven’t heard. I been blasting him since the come up! My nigga Cole got me enrolled in college even right now ! Lol I copped a copy of cwtss a year ago, & I listen to his music daily! Look an alcoleholic out :)
I am the biggest J. Cole fan because his J. Coles production is better along with his rapping. Also he is another mixtape rapper that will never put out a legit release until his time has passed. Forgot to mention his lyrics are incredible.
My twitter is @yashjoshi420
I love j cole because I can listen to him every day the same songs and he will help me get through the day. I’m a college student trying to make it and listening to cole gives me hope everyday to keep striving
Not only am I the first entrant of the contests, but I am also the biggest J. Cole fan. I discovered J. Cole right before he dropped The Warm Up in June 2009 and became his biggest fan since. I have been fortunate to attend one of his concerts in Minneapolis, MN on November 12, 2010 (the day he dropped Friday Night Lights). I waited until the mixtape dropped before I left so I could bump the new material on the way to the concert. At the concert, I felt like I was one of the only fans who knew every word to all the songs on his set list, and it caught Cole’s attention, who gave me a quick shoutout at the concert. Since then, I continuously bump his shit while sharing his talents with anyone that I can persuade to give him a listen.
Receiving one of these autographed CD’s would only add to the experience that Cole gives millions with his music.
@Domonic26 – There are many reasons I am the biggest J. Cole fan. I remember the first time I heard J. Cole. It was his verse on ‘A Star Is Born’ and I thought it was amazing. But that’s not what made me start following his career. I went to see Jay-Z perform live at Northern Kentucky University and J. Cole was the opening act. Going into the show, I didn’t know that. He came on the stage, introduced himself, performed, and also spit a freestyle. I was blown away. After that, I went home and the first thing I did was listen to The Warm Up. I told all of my friends about it at school (I take pride in saying I helped him get fans in Cincinnati, lol). I also found The Come Up. I stayed up and waited for Friday Night Lights. I bought multiple copies of the album. I check Dreamvillain.net daily and I go see him live in concert when he comes to town. He’s not the average MC. He raps about everything I can relate to. College, love, trust issues, insecurities, temptations, REAL LIFE. He doesn’t lie in a single lyric. It’s rare to find a rapper who actually keeps it real and can relate to the people. I am J. Cole’s biggest fan because I have been a supporter since Day 1 and that will never stop. I rep hard for Cole and everything he stands for. I deserve that signed copy of Cole World: The Sideline Story. It would mean the world to me especially because I already have Cole as one of my top 3 favorite rappers of all time. That’s a hard list to get into, especially for a hip hop head like me, lol. Sorry for making it so long. Thank you to whoever read this….
I’m from Fayetteville NC, now living in GA. After driving 4 hours to the Dollar and a Dream Weekend in Charlotte, seeing him at Club Paradise in Atlanta, and will be going to his concert 4 hours away at Vanderbilt, I’m the biggest fan!! My Twitter background is a picture I painted of him over a year ago! @kaylabwydra
I gotta be the biggest j. cole fan, his musics inspiration to me as a artist and producer, I love goin to his shows, there too fucking dope he was the best at rock the bells, his sets are just so properly done the way there set up and what not.. I’ve been listening to him since he was Therapist (old school Cole real fans know). This one time I got off work late and he had a show in San Francisco (im from san jose.. 1hr minutes away) I was trying to get tickets to this show all day(had no luck) & last minute (keep in mind it was sold out) so I searched craigslist.. found one and the girl had just sold it, told her i was really bummed out cause i really wanted to see him so 15 minutes later she called back saying ” you know what you seem like you really wanna see him I have the tickets if you want to come” so I had to drive 2 hours out of my way the tottal opposite direction of san jose to get the ticket then drive back towards SF to get there just on time before he started, I been to every J. Cole show thats been in my area!! His music sends a message hes just not your average rapper, rapping about drugs and making money. He speaks from the heart and I feel him on most of the shit he talks about.
@HierAngel
Im the biggest Cole fan because his lyrics give me hope that good days are to come when the dark days are taking over. The way he can put together lines that can do such an amazing thing such as that helps me as a fan & a person. His story on leaving NC to go to NY for schooling & only having his beat machine is allows me to be a big fan of some one who chases their dreams despite who may believe in them or not. “What good is being the one when you the only one that knows it!” #ColeWorld keep the good inspirational music coming
Twitter @jbismee
and I don’t know how I forgot to mention that my Twitter default picture is of me and my Carolina blue fish I named Jermaine!!! All for the love of J Cole!
I’m the biggest J. Cole fan because I’ve been with him since his “Therapist” days, and copped three copies of CWTSS when it dropped last year…it’s not a Cole World, it’s a Cole Universe!! My Twitter name: @bethanyyy78
I am one of the biggest J. Cole fan out there, but I’m not eye to brag how many songs I have of his in my collection. I’m not hear to boast that I have seen him live 6 times. I am the biggest fan of J. Cole because I hear what he has to say. I understand his lyrics. Although I do not have a story as to where his music helped me beat cancer. I have a story how an ordinary kid has something to relate to. J. Cole has deep lyrical content. He always touches a wide rang of tops. What brought me to love j. Cole was that he produced his own music. But I knew j. Cole became my favorite artist once I saw the video called lil cole, where j. Cole plays around singing on auto tune. J. Cole is a real guy, he appreciates his fans, he gives back to his community, and not for publicity purposes. J. Cole is other rappers favorite rapper. I have waited hours in lines at his concerts, but in those hours I am with people just like me, j. Cole has a select few of followers. I love j. Cole (no homo) having this CD would complete my plaque filled with show tickets and posters. As well with my picture of j. Cole…..shit 2 different times I spent my rent money on tickets to see Jermaine. When his CD dropped I made a status saying if you don’t like j. Cole comment here and ill personally buy you a CD, he gained 8 new fans that day. And shit was I broke. @mattcarpentier
Biggest J Cole fan up here in Michigan I got all his mixtapes, his album, know every word to all his songs, he’s the only artist I listen to anymore! Know all the words to his songs, lost ones is the realest song out there. I always listen to his songs when I ball nice to kno a rapper whose actuallyed played a bit in his life. This man keeps me inspired. Twitter name @masonhayes25
I haven’t been a fan of J. Cole since the beginning. I started listening to him around 7/11. The first, and favourite song I heard was Return Of Simba…. Literally gave me chills!!<3
I am one of his biggest fan!! but if I win I'd like to give the autographed album to a guy I consider my friend even though he doesn't know I exist. He is THE BIGGEST J. cole fan there is!!! He actually met him once and it made his life complete(: He inspires me and I look up to that guy the same way J. Cole inspires him. I'd really appreciate it if I win! xoxo #ColeWorld #ColeFAM #ColeFan4Life

I just keep finding stuff to add I tell yall! Not only did I attend the Club Paradise concert in ATL just for J. Cole, I got 5th row tickets. Being a college student trying to get money for that…. not easy!! But I managed cause I wasn’t about to be out on the lawn when I could watch the best performer ever 10 feet away! I kid you not when I say I’m one of the biggest J. Cole fans/supports/aCOLEholics! I’ve converted my whole family into supporting his music and they hate rap. I swear he’s changed the game!

I have everything he has made. Unreleased and all. I represent Dreamville like I’m part of the camp. I got the gear and all I listen to in my car is J. Cole. I am J. Cole’s biggest fan because I have been a supporter since Day 1 and that will never stop. I rep hard for Cole and everything he stands for.

It would mean a lot to me.
J. Cole is my inspiration hes the greatest rapper since tupac!!! i listen to him when im happy i listen to him when im sad no matter my emotions he has a tack waiting for me. my life quote is and probably always will be “you gotta dream like you never seem obstacles” which is a verse from J. Coles song Autobiography. The first song i ever heard from J. Cole was Dreams and sincere then he’s been a favorite… not just a favorite but my favorite to ever touch a mic. He gives me the motivation to be a rapper. People always believe we’re I’m from that you cannot make it but he shows me that if someone from the ville can make it then looking as i have a dollar and a dream that’s all i need to put wide awake NC on the map. This looks why i know I’m his biggest grain because i wanna be just like him. He ever motivates me to be a better student in school knowing that he was a straight A student makes me realize the rap game isn’t just about rappers who do drugs and make money that claim they “bought that life” but to him an education was important and that’s what i want to do… i want to be just like him! Im not going to say i would jump in front of a bullet for him cuz that doesn’t make me his biggest fan that just makes me crazy but i will say if a bullet event hit him id make it to the top just for him cuz he deserves it! id do it all for him! So for you people who only.claim yall J. Cole fans just cuz it’s free to should know “a album 10 dollars you act like its 10 Gs this food for thought cost the same as 2 number threes” #ColdWorld! This is more than a autographed album it’s hope to succeed!

Simply put i’ve been to 3 different J.Cole shows here in Chicago, one sponsored heineken party, i was 20 at the time it was a 21 and over event but no way in the world i was gonna miss that event so i used a friends ID, this was back when warm up was at its peak, also to the bottom lounge after lollapoolaza after party for whats been still my favorite concert video footage on youtube (kobedbryant) and recently to CLub Paradise tour with drake and company only reason i was there for was COle, and everyday i wake up hoping to hear new music from him, i bought 5 copies of his album just because and now still to do this day i tell people if you still dont know J.cole listen to him you wont be dissapointed, cause “even when its dark out the sun is shining somewhere” “the beauty of life the pain never lasts” everyone buy his album once more and keep spreading Cole “and to those who dont know i go by the name of J.COle ” “Jcole Voice”
I am truly J. Cole’s biggest fan! I’m only 16 so I didn’t grow up with Biggie and Tupac. Instead, Cole introduced real rap to me. I immediately fell in love with him as not only a rapper, but a lyricist after I first discovered him. He has been such an inspiration to me, showing that it is indeed possible to go “from a Civic to a 7” and become successful, even when society says otherwise. Cole not only helped me truly fall in love with rap, but he helped me have hope for a better future. Twitter: @CruelSummer_
My first time ever hearing of J. Cole was in 09, i was a sophmore in high school, the first track i ever heard was “Simba”. I don’t even remember how i even got to him but i heard the track and i been riding with him since. You can hear his hunger in every track he put out on “The Come Up”, nobody was hungrier than cole that year. His sound is similar to Tupac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Cannibus which is some of my favorite MCs so i just had to bang with em. Been #Coleworld since ! It ain’t never changing !
Im one of Coles biggest fans have been since late 09 I was at my friends house and he was playing some music I told him to turn it down because I didn’t like hip hop back then but he said give this guy a try so he turned it to Grown Simba and I instantly loved the track I went home with the song on reply in my mind when I got home looked everything up on J.Cole got all the tracks I could have at the time played nothing but Cole for a week fast forward in time I love hip hop and now I have almost every single song from J.Cole even some of The Therapist tracks pre ordered his album when i got it bumped that so much I had all the words on lock now it’s like ima fiend can’t wait for future albums, tracks, mix tapes, or anything I mean don’t get me wrong a autographed version of the album will be a dream come true id be the happiest person on the planet no universe but I also write this as a way to say thanks to Jermaine Cole for saving Hip Hop and making me a true fan ColeWorld for life @Barraza2313
To be honest I haven’t been a fan SINCE The Come up but I have been since The Warm Up so basically since 2010. I don’t think that makes any of the difference anyhow though, being a fan isn’t about how long you’ve been there (although it plays part of it) it’s about how true, loyal, & dedicated to the artist. & I sure as hell believe I am all the above. I legit know every song, every freestyle, every mix tape, bought the album, have merchandise & I went to his concert in 11′ (Miami!) be stayed true through it all & this is why I believe I deserve this autographed CD! It would mean so so so much & it would add on to my Dreamville/CW things. I’ve been trying to get him to autograph something of mine but he just doesn’t make trips to Miami, ever :-/ anyhow, thank you for your time!

I’ve been to all of the J Cole concerts in my area and have 150+ songs many of them with 100+ plays. I have at least 40 plays on every song off “The Warm Up”, “Friday Night Lights”, and “Cole World: The Sideline Story” (“The Come Up” is getting there”). I attended the Cole World: World Tour (got a “Farewell” shoutout)& the Club Paradise Tour and obviously bought his album. I’ve waited many times for him to drop a song via Twitter at 1 A.M even though I have to get up for school 5 hours later. Been listening to Cole for 2 years now and have watched him blow up from when nobody in my school knew his name to everybody singing “Work Out” and “Nobody’s Perfect”. But the real reason is below:
J Cole opened up my eyes when I couldn’t do so myself.
Being a suburban white kid you’re not really looked at as a hip hop head or someone who wants to go into the Music Industry. Most people would just laugh and say it’s not going to happen so I should choose something else. But when I heard J Cole’s music, specifically the “If they don’t know your dreams, then they can’t shoot em down” line on “Too Deep For The Intro”, it made me realize that dreams can truly turn into a reality. His music is the reason I started my own Rap & Hip Hop Blog (www.deeperthanthesound.blogspot.com) and why I’m majoring in “Music Industry” in college. “Show Me Something”, “Song For The Ville”, “Sideline Story” are all tracks that make me motivated to achieve my dream and flip the odds that have been set.
Twitter: @2Floodz
well i’m th biggest fan (in Botswana, Southern Africa) coz i put my whole team on J. Cole by relentlesly bumpin The Come Up, The Warm Up and #FNL in my dorm room in college and saving those mixtapes on they phones nd pc’s without their consent AND requestin Cole’s singles on tha radio till they started playin him without requests, then when CWTSS dropped i bought 6/12 of the copies in one of only two stores that stocked that album( 1 for my future car, one for my future son, one for my future wife, one to keep in tha plastic, one for my girlfriend nd one for the cd collectin in my crib) .. .prolly none of those will never get signed so awas hopin to win this special offer but dont meet the last criteria.. .either way Cole’s story is all about succeding against all odds isnt it!!!!?
#ColeWorld #TheSidelineStoryDay @TDKekgathetse
There’s no doubt that I’m the biggest Cole fan! The first song I ever heard was Lights Please & since then he’s been number one on my list. Every Cole song ever made or that he’s featured on is definitely on my Itunes playlist! Before I started listening to Cole I felt there was no one out there I could really relate to, but once I heard his music it made me wanna do better & grind out! Every morning before school I had The Warmup bumpin on my headphones just to get me through the day. And best of all, both of our name’s are Jermaine, we’re both from Carolina & we both hoop. The top fan definitely has to be me, I’m just saying! #ColeWorld Twitter – @Jmarrero24
I reside in Los Angeles California where i consider myself, probably not the ‘biggest’ fan but definately a true fan since the beginning. I first listen to J.Cole back in late ’08 i remember i was probably one of the few that listen to him. I had the honor to attend his college tour back in 2010 at USC and it was just amazing feeling eapecially since not alot of people attended, it was more personal. It was so easy to get those tickets and this time he came back to LA again, tickets sold out fast. I have all his mixtapes and also his album. Just recently received my Dreamville shirt. I am really proud of who J.Cole has become and also really proud of his producers. It has been a pleasure to see him grow as a artist!! He went from being underground to being such a hit now. I have also seen Dreamville grow & I am proud to say i am a dreamvillain! ?
In my opinion i have to be the biggest J.cole fan , reason’s being I’m only 15 but have been listening to j.cole since the “Warm Up” mix-tape . I heard Lights Please playing in the background when i was on the phone with a girl an asked her who was that? She told me ohh J.cole ever since then i have been non stop listening to J.cole . Hoping to see him in concert for my Birthday , if possible . I can relate to J.cole on his lyrics and he makes me thrive to be a better person and winning this Autographed Album , would make me feel a step closer to becoming the biggest J.cole fan of all time . Please pick me just a teenager with a Dollar and a Dream , Also a Signed Cole World : The Sideline Story album, if i win . :) #Coleworld #Dreamville

JCole is by far the best artist in todays music. Theres not a day that goes by that i dont listen to all of his albums and mixtapes at least once. he truly is an inspiration. every possible downloadable song that he has out, i have downloaded. not only would it just be cool to have this, it would be an honor. love jcole more than anything. @dianaaa_xo
I personally knew J.Cole was more than a rapper the first time I heard “Lost Ones”. I didnt know him from Adam and here this man is rappin my story, my situation, my life, rappin the exact words I couldnt fix my mouth to tell my man. Thats when I knew I was more than a fan. My son is here because of that track. I couldnt personally thank Cole, so to show my appreciation i got “cole world” tatted.

I’ve been in complete love with Jcole since the mixtape days when I was still in highschool and I always listened to his music gettting truly inspired more and more every day. Now i’m in college and sometimes when I feel like giving up and think I can’t do it , I just remember how Cole’s a performer, a entertainer, successful AND educated. It’s truly inspiring how he did so well in school and still followed his alternative dreams. Not only am I fan of his music but I truly adore him and the man he is. Everyone assumes I’m just a fan girl, but I don’t just love his music but I love the man he his. The fact that he’s an all around great person. His creativity in his music and how he always tries to do something different and push the limits, how he performs with so much enthusiasm and emotion and how produces a large amount of his music. I know there are fans that have every word he’s said memorized and girls who tattoo his lyrics on them and would do anything to get in one of his shows but he means so much more to me in a different away. When I heard him perform for the first time, I almost cried. A not only talented man but an educated one was standing before me. He breaks every rapper stereotype and doesn’t let that affect the quality of his music. I remember when I skipped soccer practice to go buy his album exactly a year ago and how after I listened to it I made my dad go get me another one to keep in the plastic since I knew it was a classic. To have a CD signed by him would mean the WORLD to me , to know that he worked on each and every song plus the fact that he took his time to sign that album. If I had that in my possession I would truly,honestly, and genuinely cherish it. Living somewhere he’s not appreciated is hard enough , but if I had that CD I would know that a piece of real music was with me .

I started listening to Cole my junior year in high school. (& I’m a sophmore in college) First song had to be “Lights Please”. It was cool to see the track that made me a Cole fan and even interested in him as a artist make the album. This date last year I was hoping my pre-ordered album would come in the mail and had to resist from listening to the leaks. Days later on October 2nd I supported Cole x attended his concert in ATL x got to meet him. One of the best days of my life. I have all his songs on my iTunes know most of them word for word. I hoop and grew up with out a father in an urban area so I can definitely relate to Cole. #coleworld
I am one of the biggest J. Cole fan out there, ive been to two of his concerts here in California, when the album dropped i bought 4 copies of the sideline story, i remember the day before his album dropped i couldn’t sleep. i had never felt the way i did on September 26th about buying a CD. I remember waking up super early the next day September 27th, driving to best buy to go but 4 copies i remember running out to my car, rushing to get the shit out the package & letting it play just..play i felt a part of me was on this CD, because i could relate to it so much in many different ways. this CD has gotten me through a lot of shit man, ColeWorld, still no blanket son!…..Well hopefully I get picked to win

J. Cole is my favorite artist. No simpler way to put it. He is inspiring in his lyrics and a great artist to look up to for other aspiring artists. I buy all of his music not only because it’s good, but because he deserves it. He has earned it. J. Cole is also one of the only artists that has had an impact in my life. Time flies J. Cole happy anniversary! @mitcHbryson
I am the biggest J Cole fan because he’s helped me so much over the years. I lost one of my best friends Rory Davies to cancer and listening to Cole and how real his music just lightened everything up for me. I’ve loved him for years and had always dream’t of meeting him and on November the 26th 2011 I was finally given the chance and I met Cole in Norwich, I told him everything and he held my hand, hugged me and told me that everything would get better. Not only does he produce quality music he is also the most down to earth guy I’ve met. I’m not bothered about winning I just wanted a way to share with you all how inspirational and caring our boy J Cole is. thank you. @s0chanel
J Cole is the center of my music universe. I listen to him every daily & find his music so inspirational and full of content. I’ll never forget the time I saw him in concert. He is by far my favorite artist of all time. This signed CD would be cherished forever.
twitter: @ahjeeparker; (first off I’d like to state that everyone commenting should check out ALL the talented members affiliated with DreamVille Records; Bas, Omen, Elite, Voli, etc. because their really making geniune hip-hop and will inspire) J. Cole has actually changed my life… I’m only 14 by the way, but hip-hop was something I’ve been interested in, influence by my pops and my brother, similar to the way he was. But expressing yourself in music was something that even I knew was missing… Then, for him to come out and literally Save the Game “I’m sorta like the light-skinned version of the very same baby the the Virgin Mary raised, thats word to everything” is so true; I find it funny though, I see grown man who grew up on people like Rakim, Hov, or Nas and overlook hip-hop now, thinking its completely dead; Music in general could be a huge part of anyone’s life, and an artist that could completely change the way you views things, as J. Cole has done, on all of us. I’d also say that if anyone is sleeping on Kendrick Lamar, they should definitely change that, be it he has had the same impact on lives as Cole does; but its funny.. every time Cole mention how he grew up, like on the Come Up I feel like we share the same story, up to now… With my Soul, I want to be the next J. Cole; We all have a dream right? Like he said… DreamVille Records, Where Anything Is Possible
To me Jermaine Lamar Cole is not only a rapper but also an inspiration. His music is written on a level where anyone can relate to it , he has a song for every situation possible. J.Cole’s music has helped me get through many difficult moments in my life & through his music he gives me hope & encouragement to do the best I can in every aspect of my life. ” The oppoutunities be in your face , you gotta grab one. ”
Everyone that I know personally knows me as Coles biggest fan because they know how much i truly appreciate his music. Its an indescribable feeling i get when I listen to his music I even get shivers. I wake up every morning and go to sleep every night listening to him. J.Cole is history in the making & i’ve been listening to his music even before a lot of people even knew who he was , I know Cole has A LOT more in store for us & I will support him every step of the way. I’ve never met J.Cole personally but wining this autographed album would make me feel at least one step closer to my dream. #ColeeWorllddd make way for the chosen one. @_julixo
Ah, what to say! I remember making it my duty to promote J. Cole’s album in my school. I was shouting out “Cole World” and writing it on any place that I could just to spread the word. I was so ecstatic when the album finally released! I rank it up there with my all time greats, like Illmatic, Blueprint, Marshall Mathers LP. Cole World The Sideline Story may be one year young, but I still consider it a classic! It was straight fire. And you best believe I’m going to be lining up for Cole’s sophomore album (and the many more after that).
Not a day goes by where I don’t listen to J. Cole. The man is my idol. I relate to him on so many different levels (that’s what makes him a great artist).
First off, we started off pretty broke (I still am, lol), have
that special something in our soul that drives us, and the biggest one of all, we both have strong, single mothers. My father left me at an early age, and in a world where many rappers feel the need to rap about getting with girls and leaving them, it’s nice to have an artist like Cole who stays real and knows it’snot something to brag about. J. Cole is down to earth. Notice how he doesn’t like stunt in the listeners, even with everything he has.
His music is a timeline. From getting his foot wet as Therapist, to showing pure hunger and ambition in The Come Up, and his progression as a RocNation signed artist in his later projects like The Warm Up (My fav Cole project so far), FNL, so an and so forth. It’s like he’s taking us along for the ride with him. The man is able to tell a story like no other with his music. “Let these words be the colors, I’m just painting my heart” That line right there by Cole speaks volumes about his work. He went from that broke kid from Fayetteville, NC with a single mom raising two kids, to being a a St. John’s University graduate, the first RocNation signee, Hov’s protege, selling over 200k on week one for his debut, Grammy nominated artist, and many more things.
J. Cole is an inspiration. He keeps me humble. I’m glad to have been introduced to him and his music.

I’m not going to right a whole lot because i know the chance of me winning are not high but i’ll give it a shot. First and far most, shouts our to LOTTA MAN for bringing me here and if it wasn’t for J cole i wouldn’t find out about LOTTA one of my favorite upcoming rappers. I want too tell you that i’m Cole’s biggest fan because i relate to the man so much and can understand every word he utters, one day i wish to work for the man. I have a lot of Cole’s associates on Facebook including a friend request to his Mom Kay, and his brother Zach. I also added Ibrahim H. Mother and brothers just because of the love i got for cole.
One fact: I’ve only been to 1 cole show and that was in Minneapolis 2 years ago for the BET Music Matters, and the only reason I went because it was cheap, i’m broke so i usually can’t go to stuff like that.
YO LOTTA MAN!
You seen me on Facebook, and all i talk about is Jermaine, you know i’m a fan of him so you make the call bro.
shootouts out to everybody, even if i don’t win, i appreciate you all for supporting my older brother/ Role model.

I’ve been a fan of j cole only since Friday night lights but since then I have downloaded nearly every song he’s released. I’ve seen him three different times in concert. I get his tweets sent to my phone and he is my homescreen background. You could say I’m obsessed and I’d agree. #coleworld
I am the biggest J. Cole fan simply because I can relate to all of his music. Our stories are very similar and I also grew up in a single mother home being the oldest and having to play the role of father. He also motivated me to chase my dreams and aspirations and that took my life to the next level. I’ve been riding with him since The Come Up mixtape and his album is the first album I ever purchased in my life because I wanted to support him and not illegally download it because his music has gotten me through extremely hard times and taught me to never give up. @CFryeGodsGift
I forgot my twitter name in my last one! @aleahcim915
I know I’m the biggest J Cole fan. No one needs to label me anything when I know in my heart. I connect with this dude on so many levels and honestly view him as a best friend. His music motivates me and makes me feel like I can relate to everything. I would be the happiest person alive if I won this. I fall back on him whenever I need him and his music is always there to help me out.
I’m a huge J Cole fan. His music inspired Me to be a better person and if you had a bad day, just remember that’s only one day of the rest of your life. Being a fan since day one doesn’t make.you better than newer fans. Now matter how you found out about J Cole, you can always go back and listen to his music. Cold World No Blanket. @BabyyCris
I’ve been writing music and stuff since April 29th, 2006 , I’m 15 today and soon to release my first song, If it werent for J.Cole, none of my music would be nearly the same as it is today, He is my BY FAR my biggest inspiration and favorite music artist if all time , J.Cole’s lyricism is completely just fucking amazing and no one can top him or be better than him or even reahc his level , he is by far the best music artist who ever lived , He has redefined hiphop and is just sick as fuck , nobody can flow like him , nobody can produce like him , it is on my bucketlist to meet him and do a song with him or make a song that hes produced lol , he is just the best and i would just fucking die if i met him , he is the greatest , best lyrics , best producer , roc nation is completely dead without him , the whole game is dead without him , he is the best artist ever and i know for a damn fact that I am his biggest fan of all time , no one wants this how i want it , i dont care how much more they say they do i promise you no body wants this how i want it , it would just be amazing to have a signed copy of his album @ThatOreo_J_Omar
I AM J. Cole’s biggest fan. I’ve been rocking with him since The Come Up and have every song and feature that has ever been on on my itunes and IPod. I know the words to ALL of his songs. I listen to alot of rap music but J. Cole is by far the best. While other’s songs might sound good, they do not have any substance. J. Cole raps about real things and real problems that people can relate to, not just girls, money, cars and other materialistic dreams. However, there are other rappers like Nas that also rap about things like this. But J. Cole also makes the illest beats. His beats sound like a young Yeezy’s with his samples. While Cole World: The Sideline Story is my favorite album, I know Coles ready to take his game to another level with his next project. His flow and production is just getting better and better; however, part of me is going to miss him making hungry songs like “Simba” and “Goin off”. Cole always makes REAL music and has the REALEST fans (me being the biggest). I’ve been bumping Cole for years and I will for a long time. #COLEWORLD @chrishickling2
I`ve been a Cole fan since my cousin brought him up to me . I have all his mixtapes and I bought his debut album and I`ve been keeping up with him since then . He made me see that there can be educated rappers that I can relate to, the day I got Cole World was the day I learned the words . I have my family stuck on him and all my friends . I listen to him everyday, even when I study, his music helps me focus . Anyways I am most definitely the BIGGEST J. COLE FAN !! Please give me the CD, it`ll go nice with my other one .@eboniwood is my twitter name
My twitter name is imjcole_thirsty. I have been listening to jcole music since the late 2009. I love his music and that he has a song for every situation that I can relate to.he is the only artist that I listen to daily and I also love all his music he produces.unlike some artist that I may only like a few of their songs I enjoy listening to all of jcole music.I also listen to his music when he use to call himself the therapist.I believe jcole is extremely talented and motivates others in a positive way.sometimes I would be feeling down and sad but when I listen to jcole I have a positive attitude.I believe a main reason why jcole stands out from other artist is because he made music when he was broke with only a dollar and a dream but he was able to achieve his dreams by believing in himself and pursing his passion. For example in his songs before he was signed to the rocnation he would speak on becoming signed and being in the same position as Jay-z.that is someone he has always admired and although at first Jay-z did not give him a chance he did not stop pursing his dreams and goals to become sign and with that passion he is in a successful position today.I am also a college student and I can relate to many of his music and his struggles. I was in a stage where I wanted to drop out of college because it is expensive and I did not have anyone supporting me, I did not have a job and I had to take loans out for everything.I was attending a expensive private college and therefore had to take out the Maximum amount of loans. I still needed to have additional money top take care of my college expenses. Jcole music honestly motivated and helped me out he gave me hope and many other listeners can relate too.
Ive loved J Cole since the warm up. I live in dubai where noone has heard of J Cole, but me and my friends r always bumping him in the car. ive listened to every single mixtape, and his album. i love every single j cole song. Went to his show in Abu Dhabi, the next city. it was a free concert no one was really into it except for me and my friends. we were going crazy, and we were the only people that knew every word to every song. You can see me in the crowd in the sideline story video, in the Abu Dhabi. I have family back in cali so i could get the album through them. I LOVE J COLE.
I’m the biggest J. Cole fan simply because the guy has been a inspiration to me. I know just about every lyric to every song he has and I kind of look up to him. My father really wasn’t in my life either and I can relate to him when he talks about him not having a father in life. I’ve been following the guy since 2010 and his music has got me through a lot in life I listen to at least 5 of his songs a day. Whenever people bring his name up I have to say COLEWORLD because it’s simply a COLEWORLD. I’m J. Cole’s biggest fan because I listen to him everyday matter of fact I’m listening to him now. I’m always stoked whenever he drops new music or a new mixtape and I’m always first to tell everyone about his new release’s.You can ask any of my friends I’m always saying COLEWORLD no matter what we’re talking about. I AM J. Cole’s BIGGEST FAN. yeathats_josh is my twitter name COLEWORLD
I’m not going to pretend I’ve been ridin to Cole since he put out his first release. I first got on to his music when he was building hype for The Sideline Story and that’s when I started copping some of his tapes. Listening to some of The Warm Up and most of the tracks on Friday Night Lights changed my life for the better. I really don’t know where I would be without his insight, his words actually speak to me. When the album actually came out that’s all i jammed for months! Even still one year later, it’s going through some severe repetition. I know his second album will be as great as any of his past releases. All i have to say is that is been a Cole year lol!!! – @JCinator
I’m the biggest J Cole fan because of the fact that I’ve been down for him ever since I noticed him. Bar none that’s the greatest fan there is & will ever be. And I’ll be a Cole fan always.
Words cannot describe how proud I am of J. Cole. He started out as a regular guy just like us. But he believed in himself and followed his dreams. He’s such an inspiration and role model to me. I don’t know what I’d do without his music. It’s so deep and real, it motivates me, it cheers me up, it calms me down. His music means everything to me. Not only is he a skilled rapper and producer, but he’s REAL. Not a fake bullshit rapper like most people in the game. He’s REAL. He cares about his fans, he’s intelligent, he’s down to earth, he’s hilarious, he’s AMAZING. The total package. To me, he’s not just another artist. He’s my idol. I wish him nothing but more success and happiness. I love you Jermaine Lamar Cole. It’s #ColeWorld till the death of me.
Been a J Cole fan since ’10 shortly after “who dat” came out…been a big fan since then..he’s basically all listen to. so winning the autographed album would mean a lot! Cole World!! @henrycruz19
@dreannaa_
Anyone can say they are a HUGE fan of Cole. I am undoubtedly one of his huge fans. Its not because I bob my head to his music when I listen to it, but it is the chills it gives me when I listen deep down to his lyrics! I don’t hear his lyrics, i feel that shit deep down! Cole is not just a rapper, he is well educated and highly respected in the game. He is by far one of the best. Jay Z would not have him if he wasn’t. Cole has put his mind body and soul into getting to where he is. It’s about the lyrics with J not the fame and it shows! Keep up the good work nigga! You will go down in the history books. No one competes with you, hands down. I think the contest is over but thought I would write anyway.
@dursonj
I heard of J. Cole from a kid from my school, and I initially doubted his skills. The only reason was because I attended a school where the kids would only listen to stupid, materialistic crap that I couldn’t relate to. One day, I heard “Work Out” on the radio and thought it was a pretty good song. Whenever it came on, I’d turn it up and start dancing. But, I thought that it’d be better to look into his other music, rather than listen to one song. Let me just say, that was a good decision. Since then, I’ve been able to connect with Jermaine’s music on an emotional level. I remember crying when I heard “The Sideline Story” because it was such a deep song. His lyrics just spark a different emotion that I don’t get when listening to some artists. I could honestly listen to Friday Night Lights or The Sideline Story all day long without getting bored. I may be considered a late fan, but I do enjoy seeing him emerge when I listen to his older songs. It’s fun to see the growth of an artist, especially one as talented as Jermaine. If I win this copy, I will be so happy. It would make my day! Cole World.
