J.Cole Chats With Angel Elliott
Jul 27th
Peep the interview below where J. Cole speaks on his inspirations, politics, and his college rival.
Rarely do you find a rapper who’s resume includes graduating magna cum laude. Jermaine Cole b.k.a J.Cole’s does and he makes it obvious with his slick, psuedo intellectual, yet witty lyrics and style. J.Cole came to Washington D.C. last night for his Direct Drive Record Pool Presents the DTLR Listening Lounge. The event gave media and select fans a glimpse into his upcoming project, “Coles World” slated for an October 2010 release. DMV hip hop scene notables like DJ Alizay, Phil Ade, Raheem DeVaughn, King Pen Slim, Jay Claxton, DJ Reddz, Swinn Brock and Mr. Mottz were in the building.
J. Cole tells us why he’s competitive, what it feels like to be the first person signed to Roc Nation and who’s huge shadow he has to work to get under from. Check it out!
AEAL: You rap, you write, your produce, you’re like a hip hop renaissance man.
J.Cole: Thank you!
AEAL: What inspiries your music?
J.Cole: What inspiries me? There are a few things. It’s a combination of just life in general, but its also my competitive nature. I just want to be the best, you know I want to do everything on my own. That’s why I produce my own stuff. I’m like, a control freak! I think that’s what it is. If I’m going to do something I want to be the best, I want to do it well. I think that’s what it really comes down to.
AEAL: One of your first big mainstream rap debuts was on Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 Album. How’d that feel?
J.Cole: That was crazy, I still really can’t believe it when I think about it. It was a blessing obviously. It’s funny how life works out, I never would have seen that coming. Like I thought I would have got on, and got a deal but I never thought it would have been like that.
AEAL: That has to say a lot about your rap ability, to have Jay-Z, really a living hip hop legend give you a huge endorsment like that, when you’re fresh in the game. What did you think when you found out that you’d be the first artist signed to the Roc Nation imprint?
J.Cole: I was excited of course, I was happy. But I was like man I’ve got to work that much harder to make sure I’m not in this mans shadow! Because he’s got such a big shadow! So I was like man, I’ve got to make my own path and work that much harder if I’m going to make this decision you know.
AEAL: So you are in Washington D.C., the Nation’s Capitol. Do you have a policy issue that’s important to you?
J.Cole: You know what, when I was in college I was really deep and heavy into politics but ever since I’ve been chasing this I haven’t been too involved. So I keep my ear farely tuned, but not as much as I should so theres no real political policy that I’m real active about. But there are a lot of social issues that I really still care about. Maybe that will resurface when I get a little older, right now I don’t have time for that. I use to be really caught up in it.
AEAL: You went to St. John’s right?
J.Cole: Yeah I did!
AEAL: I went to Temple, guess that makes you my rival, haha.
J.Cole: Oh Temple? I don’t mess with you after that!
AEAL: Yes you do!

+ ON WANTING BLING:
“I’m actually thinking about going to get my first chain. I’m not into anything super flashy. I’m just tired of going to all these shows, like I do a summer jam and Waka Flocka’s there, Gucci [Mane]’s there, or [Young] Jeezy’s there and they come out and they’re just shining like a light bulb, you know? It’s against my whole beliefs as a rapper, but when you see it like that, you’re like ‘Hold up. You’re not about to be out here shining on me boy.’ So I’m thinking about getting a little chain or something. Just something to just glow a little bit.”
+ ON TRENDS FOR THE LADIES:
“I’m a sucker for Rihanna — remember when she cut this side off and she got the hair over here. Or even Cassie. If you do that, that means you’ve got ultra confidence in yourself for you to shave your entire left side — how crazy is that? I like that when it’s done well and worn well.”
+ ON USING SAGGY PANTS TO REBEL:
“I feel like when I got my deal, I sag so much harder now. Because man I feel like I’m never going to get — well, hopefully — I’m never going to get a 9 to 5. I’m never going to go on job interviews. So it’s kind of my rebellion to the world. I’m going to sag my jeans.”
Sorry to the fans residing outside of the U.S, MTV sucks but its okay I’m in the library so I couldn’t watch these either. Anyway enjoy Professor J. Cole’s lessons in fashion!
