Cole explains

[@zoryb6933]

Hell “who dat” is what originally made me a J.Cole fan.

[@thomashester2]

Zoe Biino first thing I heard from Cole too

[@ItsAnEndlessWorld]

Same

[@Buk718]

Fact and “who dat” grew on me.

[@ourcoasterlove5272]

Yeah me too...im mad it didn't do so well.

[@MrSuperman609]

Right

[@ItsAnEndlessWorld]

Cole is such a great story teller

[@donnel234]

Nas just did an amazing response.

[@Faisalalkheriji]

If Jcole wasnt an artist I bet he couldve been a stand up comedian

[@joshuarobertson3040]

Rappers wanna be comedians and comedians wanna be rappers. It's two different skills though

[@lucasvalenzuela4667]

@@joshuarobertson3040lmao as a comedian I can absolutely confirm this

[@DianaSotoxo]

Ahhhhh wtf i wanna hear EVERYTHING he had to say

[@moulesfrites7528]

On the channel of the video, there is the second (very short) part:)

[@asweetmshell]

this is a DOPE explanation... I just wanna listen all night! I wish it was longer!

[@socialscientist1895]

Yes, there's a part 2 to this as well though.

[@thomashester2]

jay has it down to an art, he has the introspective records on the album but can craft the radio records & they blow up

[@CodyL100]

J Cole is a REAL rapper spilling out his emotions and opinions through rap through excellent lyricism.

[@charlesryan7306]

It's great to hear him talk how the industry works. It's even funnier to hear him mention a couple songs that had serious single potential but he chose to go back and try again each time. Although I think "Higher" & "Blow Up" could have made Top 40, especially "Higher" during the summertime.

[@yarapah]

Nah I think Blow Up woulda had the summer in a chokehold. Can you imagine that song blasting at the beach in Miami

[@amyelkinsdestiny3]

I like radio how it is though. I don't want to be out cruising listening to some crazy deep shit. It's cool to have a balance of deep, catchy, relatable, and enjoyable for the radio (i.e. Bad, Power Trip) as opposed to just some REAL shit being said (i.e. Breakdown). Put that real shit on the album and leave room for like 3 or 4 singles. It's not compromising your craft; I look at it as providing for a different platform.

[@KBNZ83]

Proof the industry is killing the music.

[@andrewmbanga296]

Wdym

[@champ20nsMUFC]

yeah i think both songs could have had big potential if they promoted properly also if J. Cole had taken the Big Sean, Meek Mill et al. approach of going to these radio runs with his mentor (Jay-Z in his instance) i'm 100% sure whatever song he chose out of the ones he mentioned, including "who dat" it would have been a commercial hit but you gotta respect his choice of wanting to make his name on his own

[@ThePhildarealdeal]

Nas is the best rapper ever,if j.cole is the future of hip hop,i like where its going. Real music not just lies and noncense

[@curryroadnuski1470]

J cole is a genuine person

[@SxCobar]
