Considering everyone is always comparing these two; the Los Angeles Leakers take the opportunity to ask the Roc Nation signee his opinion on Drake during their interview on Power106.
J.Cole was trying to be as polite as possible. Those interviewers were trying to get him to say Drake ain’t shit but Cole kept it clean. I like both artists and will be supporting both of their debuts.
he put that very well, gotta find more of his shit. maybe this means the c-section trollers can be done with the j. cole vs. drake shit on every post. cuz we off that.

i believe he did say what he really thought….. j. coles music tells a different story. something that would make one truly believe that the stars aligning mean something
If you don’t recognize Drake’s talent you’re just another purist riding the wave of the past. Drake can do what all those other artists you hear about a few times can only dream of doing.
It’s funny how all the bloggers wanna co-sign J. Cole now that Drake is a huge star. If J. Cole blows up and gets a major buzz, you same people would start saying he’s wack and he’s overrated (just like y’all are saying with Drake now). So I guess in order to be loved by bloggers you have to be a not so famous underdog that no one listens too…. smh.
It’s exactly how you describe it. I was never really Into drake when he was more underground and now that he’s famous I still feel the same. Last time I checked the last nigga that was Underground that everybody Liked was Lil wayne then he Went Very Very Famous and LOST ALL OF HIS LYRICAL SKILLS at the meantime. THats why people hate him now. If J.cole gets famous he’ll still be loved by the “bloggers” because his music style wont really change because like he said his music talks about different stuff than drake.
When was Wayne ever underground??? Yea he made a buncha mixtapes but the nigga been mainstream for a minute. But I do agree the bigger of star he became, the worse his music became too. Stardom is a test to staying true to who you are musically and creatively. Not everybody is built for it. Time will tell if Drake and J. Cole are…
If i was J.Cole, I prolly woulda said the same thing he did about him being “Tailor Made” to become a Pop Act.
J is right on. He SOUNDS really good anc can IMULATE styles of what’s currently popular (Wayne, Kanye, Jay-Z) and mask it enough to call it his own. Im pretty sure Wayne came across many young rappers demos & mixtapes who could rap they ass off but why you think he chose to pick up Drake?
Because he had MASS MARKETING and SUPERSTAR potential…Universal caught wind of this and was smart enough to strike while the iron was hot and before his million dollar check, he had national radio play, MTV starting running a show called DEGRASSI, and Lil Wayne put the icing on the cake by Taking him on the road to perform songs from HIS Mixtape, featured him on exclusive tracks, and then everyone wanted to know who is that light skinned nigga killin’ songs and shows with Wayne?
So far gone appealed to the ladies, which females bring in ticket sales and a stronger fan base. Drake never catered towards a masculine or urban Hip Hop crowd because they don’t buy records or support artist very well. Which all the popular rappers seemed to be doing currently. The drug rap/dance phase seems to be ending and a “Romeo” “Lover Boy” phase seems to be rushing in with Drake. Hope J.Cole can keep it interesting for him to gain attention through all the bullshit.
This whack-ass DJ is clearly sippin’ on some haterade! Why you gotta judge others like that. Don’t knock Drizzy. Kid is doing his thing. Mind ya business. Anybody that speaks about other artists as if they’re a detriment to the game, is clearly jealous. That is the only explanation. I consider myself an avid fan of all hip-hop & R&B, so why haven’t I heard of J. Cole. I’m being completely honest. Someone please tell me what he has accomplished that would make this DJ boost his ego and give him props. Yeah, J. Cole, you don’t have a big buzz, and you never will. I respect how YOU handled the situation professionally and gave props; however, this DJ is clearly itchin for some attention. I guesss they don’t have much to be proud of over on the West Coast because I couldn’t tell you one current artist that’s relevant, respectable, and ligit from the West side.
When he said he doesnt want a buzz he just meant he didnt want the bar set too high. Higher the bar is set the further you have to fall down. An example of that would be Jay Z BP3 if it was a complete failure I dont think Jay could of ever made a come back from that b/c the bar was set sooooo High (too me he didnt meet expectactions but dudes 40 and been a millionaire for years now)
I do think Drake is nice, but I do think he’s overrated. But for people to try and get J. Cole to say something negative that’s fucked up. Just let people make music. Listen to who you like…
whoo kid you dumb and you hater. You acting like J.Cole actually dissed you savior or something. He didnt. And just cuz you aint heard of him dont mean shit. You might wanna actually try looking for dope artist instead of waiting for a bandwagon to form for you to jump on and acknowledge talent.
You not knowing who he is doesnt take away from his lyrical ability that is far superior to Drakes. I consider myself an avid fan of all hip-hop & R&B, so I can honestly say with a informed opinion that they are both dope. But give props and credit when it is due. J.Cole is doper. Open ya ears. And why comment if you aint heard of him? You could have atleast youtubed one of his songs before commenting. Hop off drakes dick with ya stan ass and expand your music selection. And what does the west coast artists have to do with J.Cole who is from Carolina??
teddy, tell me you didnt diss em with that stan stuff bro.. anyways, to sort out whos better, whoever you like most, is whos best, this isnt a contest unless its battle rapping, its not football or basketball, maybe j doesnt wanna blow “you aint heard of me well i prefer that”

How could j cole say he doesn’t want a buzz tho? thats basically him coming out and saying ‘i dont wanna blow up, i dont wanna make millions etc etc’
When he said he doesnt want a buzz he just meant he didnt want the bar set too high. Higher the bar is set the further you have to fall down.

Typical of these assholes to compare to great new artists on the scene instead of appreciating their talents.
Didn’t see anything wrong with the interviewer, tbh. Drake is overrated.
teddy, tell me you didnt diss em with that stan stuff bro.. anyways, to sort out whos better, whoever you like most, is whos best, this isnt a contest unless its battle rapping, its not football or basketball, maybe j doesnt wanna blow “you aint heard of me well i prefer that”
1) word, j cole did have classy responses
2) j cole>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>drake… while i dont hate drake, i dont listen to drake…
jcole is dope, but this interviewer is on his nuts
