Grammy nominee and North Carolina native, J. Cole makes the cover of YRB magazine and addresses the collaborative effort with Los Angeles linguist, Kendrick Lamar.
Another project that he’s keeping quiet on is his joint studio album with Kendrick Lamar, which originated as a mixtape. Though the two haven’t hit the studio since laying down cuts including K. Dot’s “HiiiPoWeR,” Cole spoke with the Compton rapper about flying him out to London to spend a week recording their collaborative LP. “At the end of the day, you’re dealing with two solo artists who are on the move all the time,” he explains. “At some point, you’ve got to connect. I think it will happen.”

lol @ Shy
As long as they both bring their A-games and put Shock The World and Beautiful Bliss on the album, I’m okay with this.
should be one hell of a project.
only thing i’d be worried about is how busy the two are… could effect the all around quality of the album. won’t be able to spend large amounts of time focusing on the music, unlike Jay & Ye in their castle…
it will be a disgusting project…even though I don’t like J. cole any where near as much I liked him a year ago.
@Elite
Man, let Tae Beast, Sounwave, THC & Willie B take care of most of the production. Get one or two Terrace Martin tracks, let Cole produce one or two joints. If possible, get a Dre and a Kanye beat (this is just dreaming, but since they got the connections, fuckin use them). Bang, you´ve got an incredibly solid selection of beats, then it´s just about laying down the rhymes. And make it an album. Get Jigga and Dre on the same track. The rest should be all Kendrick & Cole. Classic.
you just described basically my dream album… haha
Creeper magazine cover.
Last time anything close to J. Cole + Kendrick happened, we got Hiiipower.
But unless Cole actually brings it on the production, I want Kendrick’s team behind the beats.
did u resize this cover in paint or something? shit looks horrible..
Just drop temptation already.
*Shock the World & Temptation, I mean.
Looking like an atmospheric, thin Khaled…
he looks creepy as fuck on that cover. looking like Jafar from Alladin and shit
Cosign Dev and Frosty. He looks like a fuckin rapist on that cover.
Don’t like the cover at all. Dude looks creepy indeed. They should’ve went with another picture instead.
There goes cole’s soul. Looks like he got the MJ skin job as well
I think Jermaine looks kinda cute, that blue really brings out his eyes. You all don’t agree?
How can you guys want TDE camp to produce the majority of the album when you got cuts like Temptation and shock the world already. Cole can deliver. K.Dots team shouldn’t be barred by all mean tho.
bruh votin this down like sayin you would stic yo tongue in oprah winfrey ass
@MyFiddyCents
Cause the best beat on Cole´s album wasn´t done by Cole. Maybe cause Rigamortis, ADHD, Ab-Soul´s Outro, Spiteful Chant are better than any beat Cole´s ever made (maybe excluding HiiiPower, but that´s Cole´s greatest musical accomplishment so, yeah). Maybe cause their beats don´t sound 80% the same unlike Cole´s beats? Maybe cause the production on Kendrick Lamar EP, OD & Section80 was on fucking point, was dope sonically and maximized Kendrick´s potential? Also, not to mention, Setbacks and Long Term 2 & Long Term Mentality were all super dope. So let Cole work on his rhyming and let the TDE camp take care of the beats, aight?
J.Cole looks so pale on this cover he looks like a ghost lol
