Ab-Soul shouts out J. Cole’s ‘Quik Stop’ when talking about having mutual respect with his fans:

“Me and a listener, we go hand in hand. Because without the listener, I’d have no voice…

Cole got a great song about that on his last album…‘Quik Stop’…That was so profound to me.”

J. Cole made some random Chinese girl from China like me, living all the way across the Pacific Ocean, catch a glimpse of the spirit of hip-hop and opened me up to a whole new world.

Hip-hop had already lived a whole chapter before I ever entered the world. In the ’90s and early 2000s, I was still a little kid. China had yet to lift its population out of poverty on the scale it eventually would. My grandparents were Chinese farmers working the land, while my mother and I lived in a tiny rented apartment in Beijing. We had no computer, no internet—just a TV, and American hip-hop sure as hell wasn’t playing on it.

It was only later, as I grew older and the world around me changed, that I gradually gained access to the internet and stumbled upon this new and unfamiliar genre called rap. And naturally, the MCs I was going to encounter were the ones of that moment: the MCs who came up through the blog era.

It was the way Cole lived by a certain code, and the way he stayed committed to certain fundamentals of hip-hop, that gradually made me realize this was a genre I needed to approach with more reverence. And from there, I started tracing that lineage backward, climbing further upstream toward the artists who inspired him and the tradition he inherited.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that, in this sense, Cole offered me a connection to the hip-hop greats who came before my time, despite how far removed I was from them in both time and place: That’s what it means to prioritize the skill, the work, the music itself, and the culture. You carry the history forward, and in doing so, inspire what comes next.

And therefore I will always be grateful that, in this globalized age, J. Cole and I happened to exist at the same time, with him being the GOAT of my era.

And the fact that he’s STILL doing it at the very top of his craft NOW? There’s no way not to be inspired by that.

Respect to Cole, always!

23 years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo cooked Manchester United so badly in a friendly that Sir Alex Ferguson 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 to sign him.

'We're not leaving this ground until we've got that boy signed.'

The rest is history 🔴
