J. Cole - Cole World: The Sideline Story (Cover + Tracklist)

So, as you know J. Cole started doing this little promo thing called "Any Given Sunday," from which the first 2 weeks brought us music, the 3rd week brought us a ustream, and week 4 brought us the cover art for the new album. I didnt put up the cover last week, but now that week 5 has rolled around, and the tracklist has been released as well, I figured I'd throw it up... Cole World drops September 27th.

01. Intro
02. Dollar And A Dream III
03. Can’t Get Enough f. Trey Songz
04. Lights Please
05. Interlude
06. Sideline Story
07. Mr. Nice Watch f. Jay-Z
08. Cole World
09. In the Morning f. Drake
10. Lost Ones
11. Nobody’s Perfect f. Missy Elliott
12. Never Told (prod. No I.D.)
13. Rise & Shine
14. God’s Gift
15. Breakdown
16. Cheer Up
17. Nothing Lasts Forever [Bonus]
18. Work Out [Bonus]
19. Daddy’s Little Girl [Bonus]

So my main question is, why have people suddenly started to release singles and then list them as "Bonus Tracks" for the album? Huh? Work Out is the lead single, and yet we're only getting it on the album as a bonus? I blame Nas for starting that trend with "Thief's Theme" on Street Disciple. But yeah, basically why arent "Lights Please," and "In The Morning" the bonus tracks?

Apparently Blu was passing out copies of the new album for free during his west coast stops on the Rock The Bells tour. Rumor has it he's just tired of waiting on Warner Brothers to do something with the album, so he took matters into his own hands. He did not, however, leak the album, or approve of the leak. But he is aware of the state of the internet, and says that he's okay with people downloading the album as long as they go out and support him when the album drops in stores. So if you want the album, the internet has it out there somewhere, but I'm not gonna give it to you. DO WORK SON. And dont forget to support Blu when the album drops in a million years.
