Yes DarkC, that is who I am referring to.

If you were to google the name "J. Cole" you would see results pertaining to him of course.

The reason why I was wondering why is that Cole recently had the 5th biggest (or something like that) album debut ever. It absolutely shocked me that J. Cole would be up there with artists like Beyonce, Bieber, Drake, or The Weeknd, but he was.

It certainly indicates that he's an A-lister in terms of fanbase. He still isn't much of a hit maker, and the songs off of his new albums clearly aren't going to have longevity like Drake or Bieber, but in terms of having a fanbase, this indicates that he deserves to be compared to One Direction, Kanye, Eminem and others.

That said, and the reason why it shocked me so much, he doesn't seem like the kind of person that the average non-music fan would be greatly familiar with.

I assume the average person would have a reaction like DarkC "Yeah, I heard of a rapper with that name".
