J Cole talks Kanye, New Fans vs Old fans, Critics, Paula Abdul, Mixtape

www.hardknock.tv Exclusive in-depth interview with J Cole! Part 3 is here! J Cole talks Paula Abdul influence in new track "Work Out". The conversation continues with Nick Huff Barili asking J if Pac was alive and they collaborated together what would the track be about. Think you know? Try again! Jermaine doesn't like to be put in a box. Speaking of which, New Fans vs Old Fans is the next topic we hit, with J saying that his old fans have to give him room to grown but that he will always represent what the love about him. Cole says that some of his favorite artists never grew and that eventually he lost interest in them cause they stayed in the same lane their whole career. Any guesses whom he is talking about? I have a few! Lastly J talks about the deliberate plan to not over-saturate fans with information about his life + leak music every week for the last couple years because the album was not ready. Now that there is a release date you can expect to see a lot more of J COLE. COLEWORLD Sept 27th! If you haven't done so, check out part 1 + 2 of this interview and Make sure to subscribe to / hardknocktv to get our latest videos!

[@JoshOtusanya1]

[@dandunk76]

[@TheOneSpurs]

Your a legend! Love the interviews...great questions, great response...if you can get other rappers into a interview like that..you'll be big!...ColeWorld!

[@harrisric128]

Good interviews man!!! good work

[@Murkage4]

Signed in just to say that this whole interview (all 3 parts) was probably the best Cole interview I've seen - really good. All your interviews with Cole are sick. As soon as you can preorder the album I'm doing it, I don't even need to hear any previews. I'll also buy an itunes version. This nigga is the saviour Cole World muhfuckas!!!

[@NikesAndChopsticks]

I like how he has observed Kanye as he grows. Kanye really has switched it up from College Dropout, Late Registration, to Heartbreaks, to Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye has switched it up! J-Cole really knows about his hip-hop, I can't wait for the album drop.

[@shzntt]

Nice interview Nick you get the best information out of Cole.

[@MsEvalyn1]

J.Cole gives us a taste of what hip hop used to be...

[@kenans92]

Great interview, and you can really see that J Cole is a smart dude

[@SkanlessBeatz]

hardknock always knows how to interview people... good job hardknock!

[@hardknocktv]

@Murkage4 Preciate the words sir! Responses like yours are we keep me up all night editing to make sure we put the best possible material out there!

[@crispanm]

[@muhammadpatel606]

Christian Pozos still waiting on it

[@deonnelson9780]

lol

[@bryanbrwnofficial]

L😭

[@yuan1630]

It ain’t ever comin bro

[@SubzeroWeather]

2 years and a half and going til the end, im a "OLD J COLE FAN" and i hope whatever he does im going to respect him for that because i'm happy with the 3 mixtapes he released, from the "Therapist" to "J.Cole" from "Come Up" to "Warm Up" from "Friday Night Lights" to COLE WORLD. I'll support your music even if you take those risks in your music. I Hope he does some "2pac toss it up" type of material. That would be fire.

[@pendleton123]

J Cole IS the best Interviewer as far as Hip Hop artist. His album will be the FIRST, Hard Copy album I bought SINCE Jay-z-Black Album (2003)

[@hardknocktv]

@shzntt Thank you! He is definitely one of my fav people to talk to and watch growth since the first interview we did almost 3 years ago.

[@sammallory]

ok I just watched the rest and this guy seems pretty fucking amazing.

[@94Gimmik]

He's so real & well grounded. Cole is already fucking great in my book.

[@flightmanup]

Two words to describe this interview... Fucken Awesome!!!!!!!!! :D

[@cnemelue]

Ok this might be the weirdest comment on J. Cole yet, but dude always has the freshest jackets...like in every video ive seen his jacket game has been on point..

[@RicardoB92]

Haven't listen to him in a while was listening to him back then since 08

[@Ramaine1]

That Truly Yours 2,and power trip is on the craze right now.

[@albertr01]

i'm going to check the album...

[@Savman250]

J. Cole is must be hella hella good for hardknock to tell us to get his album. COLE WORLD!!

[@mythicalhybrid]

i might actualy buy this cd (i'm definately buying it THE SECOND it drops on itunes but i might get the cd so i have some good music to listen to in my car)

[@emesvideo]

good video // salute

[@straightedge76]

If only more fans could understand what he's saying. I dont know how many people have said artists "sell out" when they just GROW

[@SandaSquad]

SANDA SQUAD AND COLE TAKIN OVER NC WE BRINGING HIP HOP BACK

[@cinnamonQ]

Im an old fan & i feel that you guys need to get this through your thick skull. Its a fucking occupation! He makes a living off of music. Hes elevating to reach more fans, understand when you stay real most likely you dont get that much money. Why do you think some real hiphop artist still sell drugs? its not because they wanna. Picture a Ghetto worker thats obnoxious and loud outside the workplace, but when they're behind that counter they'll take shit from any rude customer for their check

[@Kirilixx]

J.Cole is the truth ! Hail to the King !

[@igotacos64]

Cole world boy!

[@YcelanProd]

cole world!

[@MichaelCobbs]

Good stuff Cole

[@AllenmapzBod]

[@MusicMoneyMatt]

[@indagame9]

the only weekly song release thing i know about is Hip Hop Weekly Reloadeeeeed!!!!

[@cinnamonQ]

seriously if your a true fan you support through it all. even when you dont agree with the artist. Cole album is perfect. Like i dont think anyone starts hating their favorite B Ball team when they loose.

[@CloudTribe]

Power trip J.cole ft Miguel insane

[@ThisIsSandaSquad]

[@sammallory]

I have no clue who any of these guys are but I was like 10 when that song came out and me and my sister used to sing PA songs as children before we went to sleep.

[@SVisionTVNewJerZ]

If you not down with J. Cole, you not into Hip Hop like that man!!!!

[@bolojr]

I like how he didn't say G.O.OD Fridays lol

[@TheMarq16]

See 2pac on that Kendrick Cole collab album. Could you imagine that? Pac, Cole, and Kendrick on a song, damn i know there is at least one more song from Pac we haven't heard yet that Cole and Kendrick could get on.

[@KingKwasi90]

A mixtape before the album :D

[@danialves1312]

His album was decent and im a real J Cole fan his mixtapes are classic but Coleworld wasnt really all that, but i know Born Sinner is going to be great

[@MrBADKYD]

its i aint mad at cha by tupac ps ive never known a person who didnt know that song

[@salimharthy5713]

wiz never changes

[@bucsfan6117]

A mixtape before the album? That's damn good news

[@PaulKrukiel]

So excited for the mixtape, even if it is all scraps

[@llHEATll]

he saids he doesn't drop songs weekly but now look at any given sunday

[@Ashantiwarriorkaos]

He was talking about canibus most definately

[@dariusl113]

"The Return of Simba" Mix-tape the shit

[@crystal1761]

What's the name of the song @ 6:33

[@IsIsntIt]

What is the beat from the intro? Not Work out.

[@IncRapper]

Watch one day Hard knock is gonna want to interview me, No Lie.

[@SVisionTVNewJerZ]

@xViiision Ahh it depends all i like is older stuff and I been bumpin J. Cole for awhile. Everybody got different tastes tho.

[@howrya1993]

what song comes on at 3:45?

[@timeycooper111]

these where the days and the artist that made sense even though I like j cole his message still misses me with a lot of his songs . I recently found a rapper here on youtube with tons of potential his name is kasuwelltv and I think everyone should give this guy a shot look up his page kasuwelltv and if you like it pm me a big thankyou then copy this message and paste it on other vids so others may see !

[@7railblazr]

YO i want a simba song at least every year cole foreal nigga like i need some shit i could grind too what up

[@cnemelue]

@llHEATll he said he wasnt gonna do it, before he had an album date...

[@Y2J316HBK]

[@agenuinediamond]

"All I Want Is You" Miguel x Cole

[@vGunnersv]

[@SandaSquad]

sanda squad on itunes

[@12tippettm]

Friday night lights is to crazy

[@Theoriginalwozza]

Wait, Mixtape Before Album. Cole Is Giving Us Two Additional Christmas Dates This Year #ColeWorld.

[@1000dude1000]

Wow he should NOT release a mixtape before his album I don't think! I think that would be the worst kind of over-saturising thing to do.. His album would feel so much more fresh if it's the first thing I've heard from him in a while

[@AllTheShine]

@UrbanAngel33 Its called Show Me Something

[@bensononyeugbo]

him and krit needa do something together they both produce their own shit and make real music.

[@ensfresh1]

he should do a song with cyhi da prynce because looking for trouble was ill

[@NewErra23]

This is an automatic album buy #ColeWorldTheSideLineStory

[@KonstancyOfficial]

@kilamark That track is mad old son....

[@jesseclifton]

song at 6:35

[@Just_Brigood]

he touches his chest a lot

[@ExtraPhreshEnt]

J.Cole mite drop a Mixtape late July...HUH OH!!!!!!

[@Th3youngPrinc3]

Fuck The Money Love The Music

[@kcolin6701]

What are your guesses on which artist he thinks didn't grow?

[@kilamark]

I always have to mute 6:34 cuz I haven't heard that track and I don't plan on it!!! Not listening to any new J. Cole until his album!! (Unless he's featured or a single)

[@musicbytl]

somebody didnt know who j cole was and somebody different said he wasnt dope it took everything in my power not to knock them out

[@JHop873]

one is canibus probably

[@MrHooplife23]

Old Cole? Hes the same

[@ChrisARC]

@COReYY101096 Haha I like the sarcasm.

[@iDONTloveyou69]

j. cole, please just dont make any electro bullshit music like pitbull and lmfao or snoop, keep ur shit banging and make it have meaning, u will always be a new hope for hip hop

[@RowlexEnterprise]

@BlasttttEnt of course not. But he's guilty by association.

[@Refiedx]

His mixtapes were better then his albums all of em

[@MelvinBeotch2]

@iDONTloveyou69 he'll never do that. he's probably the most intelligent man in the rap game. college diploma dawg

[@Ayyy2Saint]

@NBAssociation Show Me Something

[@cinnamonQ]

They take shit for their end of the week check they could sleep most the time and still get their check, similar to musicians only they got it way worse because if you dont make music you dont get any money. Your money comes if you making good music, Now why would jcole or any1 stand by & watch lil wayne make millions when he has the chance to do that as well?

[@Refiedx]

check out kendrick lamar
