The Follow Up: J. Cole
Posted by Goat | Filed under Interview
I know I’ve been posting a lot of J. Cole lately but were on the beginning of the getting to know you phase. This interview takes a different look at Roc Nation’s new signee. Instead of asking the same question Elle chose to take a different path and speak to Cole about why he chose this path and what makes him tick. Really great read, if you cant take my word for it just read it your self. A brief piece of “The Follow Up”
What do you creatively want now?I want to make a classic album. If I don’t sell two copies, I still want it to be a classic. In the meantime I want to set up a solid foundation of fans – and not just the Internet. The Internet can be deceiving. While it’s important, you can think you’re the man but when you’re album drops – nothing happens. I’d rather be one of those artists where people get up on how classic my album is like with Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt. You know how people always lie and act like they were up on it in ’96?
For the record Cole, my old @$$ knew about Reasonable Doubt since ‘96

J. Cole Sits Down With Letsjusteatcheese.com
Posted by Goat | Filed under Interview, Leaks, Music
My homie J.Cole just sat down with the illustrious Elle for an interview on his journey in Hip Hop. Here’s an excerpt:
Biggest challenges with rap.My favorite rappers rap about shit that I could never rap about. It’s all art and entertainment at the end of the day and you choose your persona but there is something in me that won’t let me choose something that doesn’t socially reflect who I am. Tupac, Nas, and Jay-Z, rap about a lot of street shit that I know about from my experiences. I’m challenged to find the most creative ways to still reel people in with different stories that they can relate to. It’s also an opportunity because it’s a lane that has never been done. Every now and then I do want to kill someone on my song, for fun. Just to see what it will be like. Sometimes you want to play different roles because you know you can.
Full interview over at The Cheese
Bonus: Cole blessed me with some classico track from the vault after the jump. He really did it cause he wont let me leak the new joints. LOL
