Cole reveals that his debut album is almost complete and how he mainly worked with No ID. He also shares his thoughts on Kanye West and talks about his favorite debut albums.

“Mainly working with No ID” equals a dope ass debut album.
If the beats flow smoothly which they will if ID & I’m assuming J.Cole got at least some production on it and Cole rips through his verses (which we all know he will lol) this will end amazing
I liked the interviewer’s question about the Favourite 1st album from an artist. Most would say Illmatic but the answer was always gonna be Jay-Z here, lol.
he needs to leak those tracks in the background….this album is gonna bring back HIP HOP!
Yea that’s a good look having No I.D. produce most of the album
Some forget No I.D. produced all but 1 track of Common’s sophomore album Resurrection (1 of greatest hip hop albums of all time) and even dropped a very lyrical verse on track 5 In My Own World
Cole is on his way
Despite this
LUPE > J. Cole
the tracks are all out. i can’t remember for sure what played but i know his feature for Wale’s Beautiful Bliss played twice, he did Lights Out at that concert, the music video for “Simba” from The Come Up mixtape was playing (i think but not sure..)
I feel that this is going to be the best Freshmen 09 debut. Cudi was eh, Wale was a disappointment to me but J. Cole having No I.D. on the boards should be amazing instrumentally and lyrically
I like where Cole is at as far as working with a TEAM to produce an album…. That gives the album cohesion and it doesn’t sound like it’s just trying to sample what is hot right now in every region of the country
I have a feeling this album is gonna be fucking incredible. No I.D. on the boards is an automatic win.
Oh, and I know he’s not at that level yet, but does anyone else think a track with Em and J. Cole would be beyond insane?
Why is it everytime there’s a post on this dude someone has to write ‘Lupe > J. Cole’? What’s the point of even mentioning that?
“”Why is it everytime there’s a post on this dude someone has to write ‘Lupe > J. Cole’? What’s the point of even mentioning that?”"
WTF!? That’s EXACTLY what I was wondering…that’s so ghey even to bring that up. Their two different styles/rappers.
Everybody just loves to put a stupid “>” in their post!
The letter “Q” > “H”
J COLE = BEST
gonna buy 2 of his debut album and i aint ever done that for any other artist
Oh, and I know he’s not at that level yet, but does anyone else think a track with Em and J. Cole would be beyond insane?
—————-
@ the fucking truth: That would be dope, and I know that J. Cole grew up listening to Em. But don’t you think he would take some advice from Hov about doing a colab with Em?
J.Cole is one of my favourite rappers right now, you can see even in his interviews that dude’s head is screwed on and he humble about it too. He knows he’s dope but yet he does music cos that’s what he loves, and that’s what art is. My brother Blu is the same. They speak the truth. People should not compare them to or say they should collaborate with anyone, let them do their own thing and they’ll be aight for real. Now all we need is the homie Drake to get off that Young Money shit and we got 3 of the dopest MC’s to ever step into a booth. Period.
