J. Cole chops it up with our fam at Complex about his verse on Looking For Trouble.
“[That verse] was last minute. I got the beat the night before from my manager. But nobody told me they wanted to do it for G.O.O.D. Friday, and definitely not that G.O.O.D. Friday. I was like, ‘Oh man, that beat is dope. I’ll write to it soon.’ The next day I woke up in Kalamazoo, Michigan—I was on tour—and I was getting ready to go to Detroit because I had a radio promo event to do. So I got a call from Kanye and he was like, ‘What’s up? It’s Kanye. Can you get that verse today? I’m tryna put the song out tonight.’ I honestly didn’t think I could do it in time so I told him that. He said, ‘I’ll wait. We got engineers up all night so you got a while to do it. But if you can, have it done by today.’ I said, ‘I’ll make it happen somehow.’
“I wrote my verse on the hour-and-a-half ride to Detroit, did the radio promos, left that, went directly to the studio, laid the verse, and sent it to him by 5 o’clock. Mind you, I didn’t hear anybody else’s verses or the song itself, I just heard the beat and did my verse. I drove back to Kalamazoo and did the show. When I got offstage, he had just put the song out, and I sat back and watched all the comments as people went crazy. It was a beautiful night.
“I don’t know what it is [when it comes to features]. What it comes from is fear, that’s why I go so hard [on guest spots]. I’m a real competitor. It’s just a fear of somebody besting me and dominating me with a better verse. Not every song is like that, but on a song like ‘Looking For Trouble’ it is. It’s that spirit of hip-hop: Let’s see who can come the best. I don’t know if I’m going to have the best verse, but I know ain’t nobody just gonna kill me.”
He also speaks on Jay Elect’s Roc Nation signing as well as his Friday Night Lights mixtape. Read that here.
damn we still on that good friday verse? this post bout as gay as “Batty Boy Jonnie”
^^ your a Kid Cudi fan talking about gay? Fuck outta here dude! Cole World!!!

@dreamvillain
cole world huh? j cole will never know or give a fuck about u your entire life u can die today & that nigga wouldnt even know yo punk ass dead!!! COLE WORLD NIGGA!!!!!!!
He was asked about it, what is he gonna do? Not answer? Cause that song so totally happened in the stone age of two and a half weeks ago. foh
I like this story though.
word to mami. him and big sean did they thing
The most interesting part of this interview is when Cole says he needs a smash single, then the label will be comfortable putting his album out. I knew there was no way in hell “Who Dat” was going to be his official first single. It’s also obvious by his comments that he is very concious about his album sales which I can understand. I hate that I have to wait a few months for his album but the way he broke it down makes a lot of sense for him.
lol @ batty boy jonnie that guy is so lame he’s gonna die on 2dopeboyz
cole world huh? j cole will never know or give a fuck about u your entire life u can die today & that nigga wouldnt even know yo punk ass dead!!! COLE WORLD NIGGA!!!!!!!

no that guy jonnie is so gay he always have someone else’s name in his mouth like a faggot i think he’s gay i know he’s ugly & he’s always on 2dopeboyz he’s gonna die on this site thats how much he’s always on here..
Pusha T kills j.cole on Looking For Trouble. Word.
Thats why music is kinda fucked up nowadays.. J Cole doesnt even hear the song and hook and other verses so theres no cohesion.. my opinion at least
HAHAHAHA that motherfucka gon die on this site lmmfao keep my name out yo mouth boy im 2 pretty bitch
@meh most of the G.O.O.D. Friday tracks are more like cyphers. You don’t need to hear the other guy’s verse to know what to talk about! The title, ‘Looking for Trouble’ alone tells you its more of a lyrical muscle flexing song DUH!
@HOODZ Pusha killed Cole????????????? Pusha had the weakest verse on the song haha
rezo u werent listening hard enuff. pusha didnt have the “worse verse”.
Cole > Big Sean > Kanye > Cyhi > Pusha in that order and I listened a FEW times
At least, Cole was real about it. MAKES SENSE. Come hard so some other dude doesn’t best you like a fucken bitch.
And uh, @LonelyStoner: None of these emcees know who the fuck we are, so why that’s even a zing or a relevant point makes no sense to me. That just sounded like one of those dumb ass comebacks people make when they don’t have anything of substance to say. Sit your ass down, thank you. And for the record, J. Cole can write lyrical circles around most of his peers. FACT.
@stephanie

BITCH I GOT SWAGG I BEG YOUR PARDON
“1st time i robbed ah bitch iwas 15,imma goon so these girls be scared of me,got the gun in my tiny pant,ima faggot,robbed my girlfriend the bitch wouldnt let me have it” – LIL B
