January 27, 2015
North Carolina representative J. Cole takes the hot seat to talk the 2014 Forest Hills Drive LP and spit a little more of that real on the latest edition of The Combat Jack Show. Tackling a handful of issues, Cole lets fans into his thoughts and experiences and even breaks down his very calculated approach to the rap game before getting political. From Ferguson to Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse, J. Cole is dropping gems. As always, Combat Jack breaks down the math on the discussion:
J. Cole details the inspiration behind '2014 Forest Hills Drive', his battle with expectations, wanting to sign Kendrick Lamar when they first met and his thoughts regarding the shots-ridden "Control" verse. Cole also talks the hip hop culture shift that inspired "Fire Squad", consciously staying out of Drake's lane while creating his own, what happened that eventful night with Diddy, visiting Ferguson, his new outlook on life and how he became a voice of his generation.
