J. Cole explains the story of his career, saying that ‘The Fall-Off’ is the end of the J. Cole story that spanned The Come Up - The Warm Up - Friday Night Lights - Sideline Story - Born Sinner - 2014 FHD
Says we’ll likely get features and perhaps a new project as a side quest but it won’t be in the same progression of that story
J. Cole talked about how he came up with the idea to write his life in reverse on the his latest single ⤵️
“I didn’t even know what it was gonna be until I said ‘I preserve through the worse’. Now I’m just rhyming. ‘I preserve through the worse, my thirst to adhere is a curse, my life I see it in reverse’… OUUUU ‘my life I see it in reverse’... 👀”
“At that moment I get excited cause I’m like yo what if you do you do this whole rhyme about your life story in reverse, but I’m setting rules… You gotta keep 4 syllables minimum.”
“It’s quietly puzzling. I might’ve sat in that spot 12 hours that day, and GLADLY… And I didn’t return until next day where I probably put in another 7 hours in the same spot piecing the puzzle together.”
“Great things start in little rooms.” — André 3000
The beat machine on J. Cole’s ‘The Fall Off’ album cover is not only a time capsule, but the foundational piece of how Cole’s legacy began. In 2014, he told us the story behind it.
‘The Fall Off.’ 2.6.26.
J. Cole didn’t have to diss a single rapper to get people excited to listen to his new album.
Just an announcement followed by an amazing video & incredible concept.
He’s proving what many music fans already know - the hate online pales in comparison to the love from the people.
WOW: Leaked email shows legal correspondents from Republic Records (Drake’s label) trying to block ‘Like That’ from getting radio play 🤯
The email was sent to Epic Records (Future’s label) saying: “We are not granting radio rights for ‘Like That’…Epic does not have the right to release this song at radio.”
On ‘euphoria’ Kendrick says:
“Try cease and desist on the "Like That" record? / Ho, what? You ain't like that record?”
To make matters worse, Drake and Metro both have deals with Republic meaning they tried to block their own artist’s song from radio 😭
Kendrick really dropped a bombshell 🚨
