@mrtnkh@_BTCconnoisseur@FabrizioRomano Man u is the only team where players need protection at their role and the system of a coach need to suit players instead of players adapting to the system 🤣

J. Cole Audio Series Episode 3 Highlights - ‘The Warm Up’
-In this episode, Cole talks about what life was like when he was first signed, making ‘A Star Is Born’ with Hov and working with No ID
-At first, no one knew he signed to Jay-Z until he announced it during a freestyle on DJ Green Lantern’s show. Cole said he had “anxiety” to announce it and then the second he started rapping the freestyle, it was like “I’m home”
-Said his advance was $75k, started an account at the bank right outside the Roc Nation building that same day to deposit. Said it felt like a lot at the time, but after taxes and paying all his people, he still didn’t have much money
-Roc Nation was so new at the time that Cole & Ib weren’t even sure if Hov/the label knew they were making ‘The Warm Up’ or when it dropped. Rich Kleiman (A&R) supposedly told Jay-Z: “Did you know your man made a classic?” 😂
-Cole says that he studies screenplay writing (and that it’s a dream of his to one day maybe write a screenplay). Said that while some screenwriters say you need to have an outline before you start the script, Tarantino has said sometimes he jumps in without knowing what will happen later on. Cole said he does a bit of both and ‘Dreams’ is an example of him having the first line but not knowing where he’ll end up
-Ib says he thinks Cole could be even bigger than he is now, but he places a strong emphasis on living life outside of the fame and music. Cole says he is grateful it felt like he lived a full life (as far as going through challenges in life beyond music) before he got money because he stayed the same person once he got that fame. Ib says the biggest thing Cole brings is the “emotional connection” and it comes from those life experiences
-They talked about the experience of mixing The Warm Up and how long it took (said they were in the studio for days on end). This was a new experience because on The Come Up, there wasn’t really much mixing Cole just recorded and bam that was that.
-They said they were so behind on mixing that at some point, their engineer became delirious and the mixes sounded worse than the original 😂 The version of ‘I Get Up’ that got released is the original mix
-Cole handed out CD’s of The Warm Up at the release party, and he said people were saying they hadn’t seen that before but to him he hadn’t made it yet and so he felt like he was still at A&T Homecoming selling The Come Up for $1
-Cole opened up for Wale for his first shows after signing to Jay
-He talked about getting the call that Hov wanted to do a song with him, and he pulled up to Rock the Mic studio (same one he waited outside for to hand Jay ‘The Come Up’) and said Beyoncé, Hov & Guru were all in the studio when he got there. Cole said it was “surreal”
-Cole & Ib said Jay-Z played them songs off The Blueprint III, and how they all sounded fire but they didn’t know if they were actually fire or if they were just hyped to be there 😂 Cole said if it’s someone’s first time in the studio, take their opinion with a grain of salt bc you might just be a fan of the moment and not necessarily the music
-Then, Cole talked about making ‘A Star is Born’ with Jay-Z. Hov played him his verses, then looked over at Cole almost as if to say “start writing.” Cole said he was prepared for this moment because the years of hard work and honing his craft had gotten him ready for this. Said the lyrics were “coming out without me knowing” because his “pen was ready”
-Hov was reacting crazy to Cole’s verse, played it back over and over. Ib said he had seen ‘Fade to Black’ (Jay-Z doc from 2004) and he knew those reactions so he knew they were good 😂 Jay said “Hold up now we gotta see if my A&R likes it” and he brought Beyoncé back in 😂 She went crazy, asked them to play it again and Ib & Cole said it felt like a ‘fantasy’
