A. J. Cole

Both have praised each other multiple times but still haven't made a song together

Yeah, yeah, I know it's a pretty pathetic move on my part to switch up on Victoria the way I did then taking back my words like this.

I guess I was just too wrapped up in my own values of wanting to be as real as possible and not look hypocritical to the point I made the decision that I made. It's really my own fear of looking fake and contradictory if I support and defend someone from other's actions towards them, then later finding out that the person I'm defending and supporting are doing the same terrible actions than what Victoria or y'all are like as a whole.

Truth be told, I've never seen a mean moment from her, ever. Even in the show, it was always about getting even when Tori does something "mean", and even then, she would always later apologize like what happened in the Cat's New Boyfriend episode. There's just too many differing opinions and perspectives from so many people in that whole situation that I simply don't know who's side to be on. I tried to be as true to my own values as possible but the contradictions are admittedly so overwhelming to me to the point where I decided I should just go back to the time when I first heard that rumor from Alexa Nikolas and being in denial of it and living by one of my favorite artists' quotes from one of his songs when he said, "believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see"

The song is called Full Of S**t and it's by Pitbull, haha. So yeah, I'll admit it, I deserve all the backlash I got from a lot of y'all this past two days. I don't plan to leave this fandom of Victorious and Victoria Justice anytime soon, she's great, the show's great and you all are great. Y'all can roast me for being pathetic as fuck for what I've done, I'll take it, and yes, now I know how J. Cole feels recently, haha, much love and salute to y'all.

J Cole is really good friends with Drake & 21, having a few songs with 21 in recent years.

Drake and Cole here spotted filming a video a few months ago.

Cole was playing basketball for Scarborough Shooting Stars in Canada. SSS owner is Niko, one of Drake's closest friends and business partner.

Cole gave mad support when "Honestly, Nevermind" was released.

Drake mentioned J Cole on "Jimmy Cooks" feat 21 Savage...

PLUS - "Heaven's EP" ("Pipe Down" beat)

PLUS - In 2021, on J Cole's tour, both Drake and 21 Savage made a surprise appearance in Miami.

I mean...

I’m not necessarily upset about it but it does seem crazy

It goes like this:

Lil Wayne was putting out a mixtape a couple years back. There’s a song on that tape called Green Ranger. Cole gets a call that they want him on the song. Cole is hyped Cole raps his heart out and records a great verse. He shares it with Jay Z on some “look what I did to this”.

And Jay was like “Nahhhhh this is way too fire for a mixtape. Keep this for yourself.”

So Cole kept the verse and did another verse for Green Ranger.

And years later, someone asked Wayne about that song Green Ranger with Cole on it. And Wayne doesn’t even remember that song.

J cole spits mad bars. He's very relevant today, and could help Em stay relevant. I'd also like to see both of these lyrical masters go head on head. They also seem to share similar opinions on mumble rappers.

I havent seen a single post talking about a J. Cole feature. And we know Cole loves Em and honestly Id love to see him on the album.

[2014 Forest Hills Drive] "It was announced three weeks before its release, and had very little marketing, with no singles or promotion taking place prior to its release."

I don't know if Donald is the type to do that but what if he's doing something like this? Hopefully he does. Understandable if he waits until 2016 since he's been really busy.

Just a thought.

Not the most significant news but worth noting that non of the four are with the organization anymore. Cole and Dolis were going to be free agents anyways. Although wouldn't be too surprised to see any or all of them back on minor league contracts.

Dany Jimenez (Age 27) had been drafted in the rule 5 draft the last two seasons (Giants and A's) and has been returned both times. He put up sparkly numbers in AAA with a 2.22 ERA, 73/25 KK-to-BB ratio and a .202 BAA in 44.2 innings. Never really got a shot here. Was also a former Top 30 prospect of the organization.

Travis Bergen (Age 27) was traded to ARI for Robbie Ray last season but was reacquired for cash in the off-season. Spent a good amount of time on the IL this season. Was actually solid (but lucky) for the Blue Jays this season in a small sample size putting up a 1.69 ERA, 6/8 KK-to-BB and a .139 BAA in 10.2 innings. Was also solid in AAA putting up 3.18 ERA, 30/15 KK-to-BB ratio and a .222 BAA in 22.2 innings.

A.J. Cole (Age 29) was really solid in 2020 for the Blue Jays but struggled with injuries all season in 2021. Pitched extremely well when healthy. In 8.0 major league inning he posted a 1.13 ERA, a 7/1 KK-to-BB ratio and a .207 BAA. In the minors mostly through his rehab pitched another 12.0 innings where he put up a 0.75 ERA, a 13/1 KK-to-BB ratio and a .205 BAA.

Rafael Dolis (Age 33) was a hidden gem in 2020 but was an utter disaster in 2021. He was unable to hold a bullpen spot even when the team was desperate for any healthy arms. He put up a 5.63 ERA, a 39/27 KK-to-BB ratio and a .232 BAA. His numbers rebounded slightly in AAA but the major concerns followed him. He put up a 1.59 ERA, a 14/7 KK-to-BB ratio and a .250 BAA in just 11.1 innings.
