So ahead of my time even when i rhyme about the future I be reminiscing

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.

I now possess the tools as a producer and a songwriter to really just go out and make smashes all day long. I could make an album full of smash records that got pop appeal. But my heart is in hip-hop. My heart is in telling stories. And it's like therapy for me.

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.

One thing you should know about me is I never play to lose, Always aim high and rarely obey the rules.

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.

No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.

I gotta make a move, I gotta do this now, If they don't know your dreams, they can't shoot 'em down.

I'ma be here for a while. None of these clowns can hurt me.

Yeah school girl, cool girl. Your dress is sexy and your momma is a cougar.
J. Cole

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.

You hate it before you played it. I already forgave ya.

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?

I had a rat-tail when I was younger. I had this nice Bobby Brown fade, with a rat-tail that was long enough to wrap around my face. I used to chew on the end and bite it.

One day, I'll be listening to a bunch of Ray Charles, the next day it's nothing but Red Hot Chili Peppers. The next day it might be Tupac all day.

I'm already hot, you could say I'm pre-heated. If money talks, mine's telling your's to 'be seated

You are perfect exactly as you are. With all your flaws and problems, there's no need to change anything. All you need to change is the thought that you aren't good enough.

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 not a conscious rapper, all those things we talk about, the struggle, the pain, the outlook to the future, keep your head up. I try to put all those positive things into a regular human character, which is myself.

I yearn for that livin' large, but mama I ain't done yet/Sit back and watch your son rise, kick back and know your son set
