J. Cole, Roc Nation's first artist, has finally released his long awaited debut album "Cole World: The Sideline Story." After generating a buzz and a huge following with mixtapes like "The Come Up," "The Warm Up" and "Friday Night Lights," Cole had a lot to live up to with "Cole World" and he didn't disappoint.

Ten years ago on the morning of September 11, 2001, terrorists attack America. Now, every year on Sept. 11, we commemorate those who died and those who survived; and this year was no different.

However, another event happened the very same morning. It's no where near as significant in the grand scheme of the world; but in the world of music, and more importantly hip-hop, it's impact would have resounding effects.

Who is the greatest rapper of all-time?

Throughout my life this has been a topic of debate. Growing up in New York City, it seemed like it was up for discussion everyday. The automatic choices were either Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z or Nas. Then when I moved to Georgia, it was also up in the air as to who was the greatest. Although, the names were much different. I started hearing people like Andre 3000, Scarface and Ludacris being thrown into the mix.

A whole week has passed since Jay-Z and Kanye West released their highly anticipated Watch the Throne collaborative album. So, what's the results? Watch the Throne broke the iTunes record for first weeks sales and is projected to be number one on the billboard top 200 charts. I guess Jay-Z and West can be very proud of this album. It's a commercial success.
