In part 1, J. Cole speaks with Hardknock TV about a beat he put together for Hov and his slight hesitations of wanting to change up his verses for fear of being murdered on his own shit. He also opens up about his excitement with Kendrick’s latest project, Section.80 (out now), HiiiPower and his collaborative effort on Temptation. He also speaks about the minor label woes he’s currently facing, being that he’s signed to both Roc Nation and Columbia. In part two (down bottom), Cole builds about the title of his debut (Cole World – The Sideline Story) and why he was reluctant to put out the album’s name so early and more.















Hardknock give some of the best interviews.

seriously, who gives a fuck about album titles? Why do people keep asking about it, and Cole giving the same answers?
As long as the content is good and shii, I don’t give a fuck about the title, artwork or anything.
But to the other dude who said cole is all hype needs to sit down and actually listen to some of his ish. this dude fucking jamming, his album WILL be dope no doubt

TO J. COLE STANS (especially Rezo): There’s nothing wrong with being a J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar fan and there’s nothing wrong with being a J. Cole and Drake fan…music is music..you dont have to pledge allegiance and be loyal to 1 artist you closed-minded fucks

LMAO!! did this nigga just say “artistry” and “musicality” for the “work out” single? this is one delusional nigga, by watching this video interview you would think this nigga been in the game like 10 years and had like 7 platinum albums. does this nigga realize he has not made any impact in the game so far in these last four years. this nigga talking about “pump fakes” with his BS basketball analogy , well nigga you fouled out and you’re not even a starter. so far in the game, you showed you’re nothin’ but a hacker, who been shooting bricks with your singles coming off the bench. nigga you’re being called for travel for all these BS interviews and you’re the Vlade Divac of rap… you think you can take a charge, but you’re flopping with these mediocre mixtapes. there’s like 10 seconds left in your 15 mins of fame game clock and your down by double digits. only way out the game is by you getting two technical fouls on your never coming out wack album. A. HOLE YOU PAPOOSED YOURSELF!

@ NYC/Brooklyn
What did this man ever do to you? I see your hate filled comments under every single j Cole song or video 2dopeboyz posts.. One would think if you disliked him and his music so much you would ignore anything to do with him.. There’s a difference between disliking an artist’s music and actually hating an artist as if you have a personal vendetta with them..
I’ve realized that people can’t possibly hate these artists as much as they try to act like they do, they just hate the idea that other people like what they don’t, so in order to try to convince people to adopt their views and opinions they slander and bash the artist. However, it only makes you look hateful, bitter, jelous and envious.. It’s quite pathetic actually
Never the less have great day

how nice to talk about the leak then play it for all the people who have been avoiding it, lol.

Jay’s probably busy with WTT, so he’ll probably get the verse when that’s all said and done.
@Cosign DQ.
I don’t understand it. If you don’t like an artists stuff, just thumb it down and move the fuck on. It’s that simple. It ain’t nuclear physics…
BTW, completely unrelated, I dreamed that Jay & Ye and Em & Royce did some random ass song with Emilio Rojas…shit was weird…

there’s a certain individual in this site who has been disrespecting J. Cole for years now. I’m not gonna go into specifics who I am. I’ve been with this phenomenal musical artist J. Cole from the beginning of this journey, from being signed to Rocnation to being in the studio wrapping up his upcoming debut release album. we have been taking notes of the hatred this certain individual has been posting. we respect all criticisms, positive and especially the negatives, but when criticisms go beyond hate, we kind of take it personal. J. Cole has addressed this individual on a few of his songs in his mixtapes. he did not address the person by name, but we know this individual by his comments has a clue shots were fired in his direction. J. Cole does frequent this site and other sites that supports him. he does these interviews for his fans, not solely for promotions. we want to thank the fans for being patient. come 9/27 team Cole World will deliver a classic.

haters will hate, come 9/27 i suggest you download soulja boys debut and hide under a rock for the next 6 months. cuz if you dont all youl be hearing is “Jcole this, and Jcole that” and the NYC/Brooklyn dude your a fuckin lame… you hate yourself. its obvious.lol and for the record,
i believe this album will be as great as illmatic and reasonable doubt
COLE WORLD NIGGA! 9/27.
