J. Cole Speaks On Album’s Plans (Video)

Among other topics, Cole revealed to Craig G and Jenny Boom Boom that Jay-Z has “five days to turn in his verse to make the album” (methinks he’ll give Shawn an extension) and that he won’t drop a pre-Cole World mixtape, rather releasing tracks that didn’t make the album’s final cut. September 27th…

  1. what happen to the mixtape though cole?… he is definitely going to fail now… he should know that you have to give the fans as much music as u can in order to be relevant… a 15 song album will not be enough… idk what him and electronica be on… get on your grind and work like wayne or ross for example, and give us music! smh

  2. Electronica has a different type buzz than Cole. I don’t think record sales mean as much to Jay E as they do to J.Cole. And Jay E has never put out music regularly/on a pattern. When Act II comes, it comes. Cole is in trouble IMO if Bad Girls Club doesn’t hit. And it’s gotta raise eyebrows that he has to wait this long for a verse from Hova. Jay-Z needs to help these guys eat and not just be sitting in the Throne.

  3. This dude is WACK. Hell Rell = #1 rapper

  4. lol @ thefactz has to be a troll right?

    cole has put out a shitload of music, his buzz is perfectly fine

  5. can’t..wait until he put that out..
    ..Walmart celebrating their 60th anniversary by giving out giftcards wal mart http://goo.gl/MeFEM ..up to 1000..crazy lol

  6. all he has to do is put out some free joints before the album, like kanye did. AND CLEARLY HE HAS A BUZZ CUZ YA NIGGAS RUSH TO COMMENT ON COLE POSTS.

    9/27/2011 = The Revolution will be televised

  7. How long has Hov had the record? Is he not doing shows etc with other artists whose careers he has been involved with Rihanna, Ye and Jeezy? Is he past the album due date? We all saw Drake and 40 finalizing Thank Me Later that last week during the documentary. Industry niggas are notoriously tardy to everything. This is nothing out of the ordinary. He’s talked about Hov talking to him and listening to the album etc throughout. Non issue, really.

  8. her voice is so annoying.

  9. Who does he think he is????

    First of all saying, he’s not on WTT because Jay and Ye are watching the throne against him is crazy talk, nothing more nothing less. Jay and Ye could give two f**ks about Cole and his album (Excuse my language ) and this fool is up there talking like he’s an established artist with three classic albums under his belt. Smh Cole. Now, not dropping the mixtape before the album to gain some hype is a very understandable move because you always want the album to have a huge impact and be anticipated so I completely understand his decision. However, the fact that he said that the main reason he’s not dropping it is not just because he wants to increase anticipation, but because “He does not know how to make bad mixtapes” and he just knows the fans will “fall in love with that mixtape more than the album” is just distasteful. I mean even if you feel that way, why would you say that in an interview, regardless of who you are. Now don’t mistake this rant for hate because I want to see Cole win just a smuch as everyone in here, but he’s letting this little hype get to his head and its turning off potential fans. No one is denying that the boy is talented, but cmon Cole. Oh well, I guess alls well that ends well

  10. ^^^^
    He is hella cocky though.

  11. pro·gres·sion
    [pruh-gresh-uhn]
    –noun
    -the act of progressing; forward or onward movement.

    this nigga’s career just went head first in quicksand. and before I go forward with my assessments, I just want to congratulate myself in being true and correct about A. Hole. I told ya’ll niggaz from birth when A. Hole entered hip hop, he was not the next coming of the microphone Christ like ya’ll made him out to be. it’s been failure after failure with this dude. even though he looks tired in this video, his arrogance and over-confidence demeanor has taken a toll on him. he was too cocky from the jump of his career. he got spoiled touring on big venues with NO ALBUM. he’s like that lazy nigga in the hood riding passenger on the huffy handlebar while the other nigga has to ride him to the corner bodega on his bike. he could of adjusted and improved if he paid his dues properly. the album is gonna be a mess. now half of this nigga’z album is gonna have special features, when he himself has said 3 years ago he was going to carry the album by myself. shit… a few weeks ago he said 95% of the album will not have any special features. reality must of kicked in for him and his team. all along A. Hole and his team wanted to avoid getting outshined on every track on the album by other artists on his album. now we know why the release of the “work out” video got delayed because, it’s getting re-shot again. SMH @ A. Hole and his team of monkeys. A. HOLE YOU PAPOOSED YOURSELF!!!

  12. Is it just me or does Cole not seem happy with Jay and the album lead up? Another classic example of NEVER play for Jordan and NEVER sign with Jay… I hope he’s not tied up to Roc Nation for too many albums.

  13. And yet another j.cole interview and @endowed well bad girls club us wale single but back to cole buzz so dead noboy even relized the workout video leaked lol ive seen more interviews from then I have any other rapper before they drop a album I love cole but hes failing fast and watch the cole stans ho crazy yall destroying his career got him thinkn this ok

  14. Smh yall always get so worked up and act like music experts when it comes to J. Cole posts..RELAX

  15. j. cole single he was suppose to release wit trey songz leaked yesterday. its called cant get enough. that was wat he needed to release as the 1st single.

  16. @Derek – I heard that “Can’t Get Enough” track yesterday, too. That track is FIRE! It definitely has hit single appeal. His team should be looking at that to become the next one. Either that one or “Cheer Up”…

  17. i really like cole & wale due to them both being above average rappers,
    but honestly i dont think either of them will ever me a major part of mainstream music. they should just be trying to release solid albums and not worrying too much about sales.
    p.s bad girls club is not even in the top 50 on itunes chart, even chiddy bang’s single is higher than that song

  18. J. Cole < Dog Shit

  19. that Cant get enough is real good for a single. Cole got freaky on that. and Cole been cocky from day one so I get it. In two months there will be answers 9/27

  20. This was the first time for me listening to Jenny Boom Boom and I won’t ever do it again.

  21. dude is falling asleep in this one haha. cant get enough is a dope track definately feeling it. can’t wait for the album! :D

  22. THIS BITCH IS ANNOYING AS FUCK.

  23. that lady is so fucking annoying

  24. In regards to Watch The Throne, the features only include singers. It’s already a compilation album so why would you include other rappers, it would seem cluttered. I wouldn’t sign with Jay-z. He’s good at signing talent as he did as President at Def jam but he is an artist at this core. Developing talent isn’t his style, proven by his tenure at roc nation and roc-a-fella. It’s time Rocnation steps up for Cole. We all know J elec doesn’t believe in timeframes or release dates so J cole is the label’s most viable artist. I’m excited for his album. Success breads hatred, with fans like some of you who needs haters smh.

  25. reason why nobody is paying attention to the Work Out video leak is b/c #1: theres no good videos of it on youtube, #2: the major blogs dont post leaked material from major artist anymore b/c their liable to get sued, #3: most importantly, cole isnt using that video anymore and he already did the re-shoot the other day for the new video…end of story

  26. shes annoying

  27. I kind of see this from a different perspective I think then some of you. As someone who lived in north carolina for twenty plus years of my life I see a lot of the strong willed southern winner mentality. Cole is gonna come out on top his album will be a success and I have a feeling Jay knows that too his verse will come late but mostly because Jay will want to make it a really really strong verse. Coles young hungry and sure has that cockyness the only thing he needs right now is someone to coach his strategy a touch better. His lead single was his least well received music in a longtime. Gotta admit though its been fun watching him gain this much shine

  28. @HouseOfStarks

    (My eyes are numb, so exuse me if I have mispelled words.)

    I totally agree with you. Jay-z isn’t the type of person to build up his artists. I find that he can’t turn in his verse on time ever more worrying. For instance, Yelawolf has a new album coming out. Dude asked Em for a verse and a beat and, even though Em was working on BME, he STILL had the time to give him a verse. SMH @ Rocnation.

  29. @Pauly Dee , Jay signed him in the first place and then put him on tours with no album out and also put him on his own album and based the title of the song around Cole ( A STAR IS BORN ) do you not understand that type of promotion is priceless? No need to respond back cause im sure your mind is made up but just think about that and how many artists out there would cut their finger off if that meant Jay would give them the same treatment.

  30. @Pauly Dee

    Jay Z gave J. Cole a verse for his album while he was working on WTT, whats the difference?

  31. heres a story that might shut yall up. Jay did the exact same thing to Lupe for his feature on Food & Liquor (which Jay Exec. Produced). Lupe has told the story in multiple interviews about how Jay didnt send his verse for Pressure until the day before his album was due to Atlantic. Jay simply does this so that artist wont take advantage and try to murder him on a song. Its the competitor in Jay that causes him to wait

  32. ^^^ How bout Jay is competing with himself so he waits until he has a verse that he feels is better then his last. He gave J Cole the Star Is Born record after he did his verses.
