My parents were divorced by the time I was even conscious - like I don't remember them ever being together.
J. Cole
Image
I want to be like Bruce Springsteen or something, making songs that are relevant.
J. Cole
Image
I never really told anybody that I'm a rapper. I wasn't walking around being like, Yo, check out my mixtape! It was more of a secret grind.
J. Cole
Image
I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something's not good enough, and I won't stop until I feel like I've made it. I'm never satisfied.
J. Cole

The thing about being an artist today is you get to develop right in front of people's eyes before you even put out an album.

Image
While silly ni**as argue over who gon' snatch the crown / Look around my ni**a, white people have snatched the sound / This year I'll probably go to the awards dappered down / Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile.

College isn't in everyone's hearts. I am living proof, though, that school doesn't mess up your plans. It gives you more experiences to write about.

I don't wanna forget the fact that I wanna be one of the best rappers. I feel like some of the best rappers ever - 2Pac, namely, one of them - could take sub-par beats or average beats and turn them into incredible songs.

I'm the same kid who used to hop the trains with headphones and just go to downtown Manhattan, walk around and listen to music or walk through the city. The fame restricts that. It's a small complaint in comparison to the benefits I get from it, but the restrictive part is what I don't like - and the fact that it's not reversible.

When you're a rapper, just a rapper, you have to kind of settle for whatever comes your way - if a beat is hot, you wanna rap on it, period.

I was a huge Mike Tyson fan growing up his fights were always on in my house.

Image
My Mother's an actress, and she's always told me, Boy, you're an actor. I would look forward to seeing if I'm any good. I want to be good at it, that's the only thing.
J. Cole
Image
I'ma be here for a while. None of these clowns can hurt me.

Image
School is a good place - it ain't for everybody, but I think it's for most people.
J. Cole
Image
I pay attention to lyrics and I know what rap fans care about. I try to write for the average listener and I'm conscious of the mainstream without selling out.

Image
Marriage is just a relationship to me. In my experience, when you've been in a relationship for as long as I've been in one, there's no real difference. It's just a piece of paper that validates what was already real.

Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren't really about anything - which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things.

Image
I think if I did something in the pop world right now, it would be for Rihanna. I'd love to do something production wise for her.
J. Cole
Image
My fans love me for me, my beats, my rhymes.

I think all you can really do is use the tour to kinda fill up with experiences and thoughts, and then, when you get back to the studio, or in some type of creative environment, that's when you release everything that you've encountered on tour.
