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.'

More quotes by J. Cole
One thing you should know about me is I never play to lose, Always aim high and rarely obey the rules.
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
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
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
I'ma be here for a while. None of these clowns can hurt me.
J. Cole
Either you play the game or let the game play you and be that broke sucka talkin bout I stayed true
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
My parents were divorced by the time I was even conscious - like I don't remember them ever being together.
J. Cole
School is a good place - it ain't for everybody, but I think it's for most people.
J. Cole
I want to be like Bruce Springsteen or something, making songs that are relevant.
J. Cole
There was the time I bought three cars in the span of three or four weeks. It was crazy it wasn't greedy. It was mine, my girl's, my mom's. I got Benzes for my ladies. But I felt crazy. You have to understand I come from a world where we're very modest. But that's not greedy. That's nice, right?
J. Cole
Yeah school girl, cool girl. Your dress is sexy and your momma is a cougar.
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 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.
J. Cole
You hate it before you played it. I already forgave ya.
J. Cole
I was a huge Mike Tyson fan growing up his fights were always on in my house.
J. Cole
No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they 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
My real dream is to have a whole, like, buy a whole piece of land. Imagine, like, a long driveway. Like, a cul de sac-type street, with maybe, like, seven houses. Me be right here. Have my mom be able to be right here. My brother over here. My girl's grandmother and family right here. Friends over there. That's my real dream.
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
