Movie series have a lot of quotables Where words don't translate, music speaks. When music artists are depressed, the studio is their only medication. Even CEOs have their cold moments. To succeed, you have to look at your life in a different perspective. Take charge everyday. No room for excuses. "A convicted fellow can never serve in the board of directors of a public company." - Lucious Lyon. I need a music therapist.

Music
I promise to write about how music rescued me from depression
How it magnified my inner self
And it made visible all parts of me that I couldn't see before
I promise to share with you everything I gathered from music
From self awareness to harsh reality
It's sole purpose was to educate us
Expound upon the knowledge we got from school
Make our lives better by redefining how we view things
Through music I taught myself how to deal with the world negatives
I also discovered that karma is unforgiving
Hate on someone and the same happens to you
It's just a matter of time
And our actions translate
As I lay on my bed this cold morning
I reflect on what my heart has been through
I also reminisce the good times I had with colleagues
Friends I met during this holiday
There's was a short term
But I enjoyed every second we spent
My journey has been adventurous
The weather has at times behaved
And my feet have always ensured that I kept walking
Though the sole of my shoe is getting old,
I'm certain that I shall find a new pair as soon as I arrive at my destination
For I am blessed!!!

J.Cole 2014 Forest Hills Drive Album Review
Jermaine Cole is one honest rapper who believes in greatness. This manifests itself after his album went platinum in a few weeks. Let's bear in mind that there was no promotion nor advertisement prior to its release.
Forest Hills Drive album debuted number one on the billboard top 200 charts and held that position for a while.
This project has no features but only accredited samples.
From his previous work, Born Siner, Cole has made a huge artistic progress. He let his emotions control him before and now he tries to explain to us how he overcomed his fears . 13 Songs long is the latest offering for his die hard fans.
This is a narrative of a young ambitious black male born in Carolina then later moved to New York seeking a better life. While there, his mom was kicked out of their apartment due to unpaid dues.
Cole also reminisces on his childhood life and adolescence stage among other issues he faced while growing up.
He also challenges his competition who are claiming to be kings. The white man taking over a black man's game is his biggest worry. Iggy Azalea, Eminem, Macklemore and Justin Timberlake are mentioned on Fire Squad as an example.
The production is good. It is usually hard to find a rapper and producer at the same time trying to balance the two. J. Cole succeeds in this. For an album released at the end of the year, it is safe to say that he managed to have the best album of 2014. I can't say the same for 2015 though.
