J. Cole Uncensored: Why He's Not Following "Their" Rules | Sway's Universe

Ойын-сауық

#JCole #SwaysUniverse
In Sway’s highly anticipated interview with J. Cole, this NC rapper opens up about all things music, Dreamville and breaks down his current mind state.
Catching up with him in his dressing room after his Forest Hills Drive show in San Diego, CA, he talks about fellow tour mates, Big Sean and YG - and why it was important to have these two rappers on board. In fact, YG was the first to tell us that Cole fought for him to stay on the tour after the “powers-that-be” attempted to kick him off.
“I seen the way he moves, and just in my interactions with him, he’s not stupid. So, I had to break it down to him, people are expecting him to fail so every decision you and your homeboys make, make it true or false.”
What about Big Sean?
“Big Sean is on fire. Me and Big Sean came in the game together. We opened up a show for Wale in 2009, so we started this climb together. To see what he’s done and came through… and his catalog of hits. When he’s out there doing his show, I can hear it in my bus. 40 minutes of hits.”
Along with being an undeniable rapper, J. Cole is a CEO of Dreamville. During his sit-down with Sway, he talks about each of his signed artists, Omen, Bas and Cozz - and why he decided to sign them, what caught his attention and what made them different.
It’s no secret that his 2014 Forest Hills Drive album had no features. In fact, it was the first hip-hop album to go platinum without a single guest feature since 1989! Cole told us that was an accident. He didn’t mean to exclude the project from any features - it just came out that way.
Cole speaks some solid gems around the 8-minute mark when he begins to talk about the importance of his art, and why he doesn’t follow the standard industry way of becoming successful.
“You don’t have to have the features. You don’t have to drop the single. You don’t have to have the radio record before you put the album out. You don’t have to follow them rules. You can put out what you love and still sell records if you connecting with people. It ain’t gonna be over night. You do art first and build the business around that.”

    The sad thing is, J. Cole is one of the most intelligent rappers out. That doesn't mean he is the ONLY intelligent rapper but, he is the only one who isn't afraid that his intelligence make him less cool. He is humble as hell and has a very good heart and spirit. He is super adorable too. God is going to keep blessing him and using him as a blessing for the world.

    here's my take. Kendricks spits faster and harder and his beats slam and he does speak some positive vibes and most people will disagree but Cole has that vibe that even people who aren't from the hood can vibe to. Real life common everyday mental and spiritual battles we all face. If I want to slump I play Kendrick but if I need a positive outlook on life and need enlightening I'll play some j Cole

    This is inspirational to me as a music artist. I've started concentrating on my artistic style more recently and just letting go of all that outside "what you are supposed to do" stuff and it felt really good making the track I just finished. I also feel the same way as Cole in regards to the money thing. People always bring up money when talking to me about stuff and I don't really have anything to say cause money isn't my everything. I use it to buy what I need and want and I do like nice things at times, but I don't concentrate on money and i'm not one of those people who aspire to have all this money. I agree with him on having fun too. I remember when I used to get together with a bunch of artist and we would sit there making music and spitting flows together. We got together and had fun. Now people are so into the business you rarely connect with an artist on a cool level. You are turned off by most artists. It's all about money and releasing the tracks and nobody puts heart into the music like they used to.
