J. Cole (and his team) continues to gyp his fans out of merch for over 1 year

Posted: 19 Jun 2019 09:31 PM PDT

I purchased an official, limited edition, autographed vinyl of J. Cole's KOD three days after the album first dropped from https://www.jcoleshop.com/. It is now June 2019, and I never received anything in the mail for this purchase. I received a shipping confirmation email on April 24th, 2018 and an email "Update Regarding Your Order from J. Cole" on September 14, 2018.

In that update email, someone from J. Cole's merch team said that "the signed LP jackets were damaged in transit and need to be re-manufactured and re-signed" ... "and these will now not ship out until late January 2019. We recognize that this is a long delay so if you would prefer to have your money refunded, please reply to this email to start that process."

I am a college student, so I quickly let this slip my mind and I forgot about it, until I randomly remembered earlier this month (June 2019) and decided to email the merch team asking for any updates. In his merch team's defense, I did receive a quick response (on June 7th, 2019), but it was not very helpful. All they said was that "unfortunately, we still do not have a confirmed timeline of when we will be receiving more inventory of the KOD Signed Vinyl."

They did also offer, again, to provide a refund, but I am a broke college student, so the likelihood of me being able to afford VIP tickets to get an autograph from one of my all-time favorite artists is little to none right now. I don't really want a refund. The $37 I paid is not going to change my life right now, but I would really value adding this vinyl to the little collection I'm starting to build up.

Please spare an upvote so that MAYBE some slight social media traction might provoke a more timely-effort to give J. Cole's supporters what they deserve. I can guarantee I am not the only one that this happened to.

*Edit: I have just learned that "gyp" is a derogatory slur that delegitimizes the plight of the Romanian (and Egyptian) people. For whatever reason, "jip" came to me when writing the title and I just quickly used google dictionary to get the correct spelling. I apologize for any insensitivity.

This article succinctly sums up the issue with the word: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/12/30/242429836/why-being-gypped-hurts-the-roma-more-than-it-hurts-you

Also, if this edit/disclaimer triggers and offends you (for being too PC, or whatever), then get the fuck over it. Also, please send me my vinyl J. Cole. <3

Logic announces his own record label ‘Bobby Boy’ partnered with Def Jam & UMG, says new artists will be signed.

Posted: 19 Jun 2019 08:36 AM PDT

He announced it on Twitter.

Apparently it's a name change from his former self owned label 'Team Elysium' but the way he described it with his video it seems he will be focusing on it a lot more in the future.

The decline of remixes

Posted: 19 Jun 2019 02:42 AM PDT

I was having a friendly internet debate with a friend around my age (I'm 33) yesterday, and whose formative rap-listening years match mine (i.e. the ascendance of Pitchfork, mixtape-era Wayne, Gucci, Clipse etc.).

​

Anyway, I was saying that DJ Khaled's bloated song-model of throwing a bunch of different artists onto a track feels slightly outmoded these days, but that it was a staple back in the day: I often remember hearing a song, and then you'd inevitably end up with a remix where like 4 or 5 different rappers jump on .. for example, something like this: https://youtu.be/r49ydtBbghI . It's like artists really revelled in the excess of these bloated posse cuts and remixes.

​

I don't keep up with mainstream/radio stuff anymore, but I do feel like there's been a decline in these remixes in favor of sticking to official features on songs, and was wondering if anyone had any theories why?
