Continuing my brief chat with J.Cole this past weekend at Heineken’s Inspire Tour in Manhattan, I ventured down the lane of what was most beneficial for him this past year: Being placed on Jay-Z’s “A Star Is Born” from his Blueprint 3 opus or opening for Hov for his Blueprint 3 tour.
To be honest, either placement is a GREAT look a new artist of Cole’s stature, or any stature for that matter, would kill for. On one hand you’re verbally sparring with one of the greats on a track that’s highlighting your struggles and how your favorite artist believes in your star potential.
But then on the other hand, your favorite artist has decided to position you as an opener for his tour (as if he needs one). Man, what a year for Roc Nation’s brightest star.
