More quotes by J. Cole
I was a class clown. At 12, I was definitely clowning. I was making all the jokes. But I was smart, so the teachers didn't know what to do with me.
J. Cole
No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.
J. Cole
Sometimes I try a Mai Tai. It's so fruity. It's a little embarrassing, but I like it.
J. Cole
A lot of my music is just self-observation. Like telling you, Oh man. What did I just do? How much did I just pay for this chain? Why did I do that? Wait a minute. Let me talk about that. Or like, the temptation. Let me talk about that. Let me observe myself.
J. Cole
It's no coincidence that all the greatest rappers - whoever you put in your top five - I guarantee you they a great storyteller.
J. Cole
When you're headlining, people are paying to come see you specifically. It's a different kind of pressure, because you've got to deliver. You've got to give these people what they paid for. It's a different mind state, a different type of mentality, but it's honestly a pretty good problem to have, you know?
J. Cole
So ahead of my time even when i rhyme about the future I be reminiscing
J. Cole
Anything I do, I want to do it well.
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
Get on yo job little man this ain't Saturday
J. Cole
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
I'm not gonna be bad at anything, and I want to actually be the best at anything I'm doing. So if I'm playing basketball, if I'm taking the SATs, like, there's a competitive spirit behind it. With production, it's the same thing.
J. Cole
You can't reverse fame. You can lose all the money, but you'll never lose people knowing you.
J. Cole
In hip-hop, there's not a lot of love. There's not a lot of love being spread. It's always like 'I'm stuntin' on you raps, or I'm better than you raps.' It's not a lot of 'Yo man, I idolize you raps.'
J. Cole
My parents were divorced by the time I was even conscious - like I don't remember them ever being together.
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
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
Touring is very routine. You get to the city, you go to the hotel, you got to be at the hotel by a certain time - it's very routine. I'm not a very structured person, so when I get some structure, it's cool it's good for me.
J. Cole
I'm here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don't follow what you've been told you're supposed to do.
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
