On the second part of J. Cole’s interview with the dopehouse and TheWellVersed, Cole explains why he made a conscious decision to not tell anyone, not even his close friends and family, that he was a rapper.

Cole is that dude
Cole ain’t nothin to fool wit
Funny that they mention that situation. I was REALLY thinking about starting to rap and not tell anyone I know.
I still respect this guy, he’s my role model right now, because he isnt on some Bill Cosby stuff, and still makes good music.
pretty cool
he didnt want that on him, quite a private n calculated dude
Bout time ya’ll start doing interviews Meka and good looks on not asking the same fucking questions that them other fucktards do.
anyone see that stripper pole in the video? j. cole has the power to sell out a used strip club
Cole being from a small town, his approach was understandable. I live down south and honestly unless you’re in Atlanta nobody would take someone seriously if they said they wanted to be a serious rap artist. I respect Cole for getting in the game the way he did.
anyone see that stripper pole in the video? j. cole has the power to sell out a used strip club<<< THIS. LOL
Him not telling anyone about his rap ambitions shows he’s in it for the right reasons. It ain’t all about the money and fame to him. Can’t wait for the fuckin album to drop.
Gonna be the best debut since Kanye’s….
