Video: J. Cole (Roc Nation) – First Radio Interview + OnDaSpot Freestyle
J. Cole is Jay-Z’s first signee to his Roc Nation label.
I had this interview playing while I was searching about him. I couldn’t find too much about the deal, but the next second I hear:
Green: What’s a Roc Nation deal like? Is that a regular record deal or a management..?
J. Cole: Roc Nation they’re doing so many things. It’s actually a beautiful deal. A lot of people are asking me cuz you can’t really find information on it.

Wale>>>Cudi
but KC’s decent/interesting, from what I’ve heard, so far…still can’t dig Charles Hamilton (none)…B.O.B. is a standout from the new class, too…

Fun Fact: I was offered an internship at the White House, which was subsequently rescinded after the background check.
^^
recently?
>LOL no nigga, I’m 27. This was like 2003. Yes, Bush was the President…no, I didn’t support him. I just had a mentor who was trying to put another brother onto the lime light.
The weed arrests sealed my fate, lmfao.
I told the guy who was pulling strings for me about it…but he was like “let them find out for themselves.”

Tray Deee (born Tracy Lamar Davis on April 27, 1966 in Long Beach, California) is a rapper who was once signed to Death Row Records and later signed with Snoop Dogg’s label Dogghouse Records (now Doggystyle Records). He joined the Platinum-selling group Tha Eastsidaz, which consisted of himself, Snoop Dogg, and Goldie Loc.
March 25th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Haven’t heard J. Cole’s music. But Jay has historicaly wack taste in artists.

Eastsidaz went double plat or something. Give them Niggaz some respect they had bangers. They had that song with Master P ….Master P came on and spit the wackest lyrics I have ever heard, he wasnt even good enough for a bamma. But I respect his hustle game
March 25th, 2009 at 3:40 pm

Cudi is only skating by right now because that singing/rapping hybrid shit is what’s cool now…..but he has NO singing skill at all and his bars are weaker than dilapidated (sp) wood [ll]. I simply don’t get why people like his music. and I know I sound like a hater but to me he’s just an opportunist.

March 25th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
camel is fucking stupid. what about tru life and the rest of the dudes he had on his last failed label. why do people sign with jay? i still maintain that the best thing lupe ever did in life was avoid signing with the ROC. his whole shit would have been grand opening grand closing and F&L would have never seen the light of day.

Even if all that’s true, I can’t deny the music. He4′s made some cool shit.
Will that translate to longevity in the game?
We’ll have to wait & see.
But I agree, even though I dig his music, he’s kinda overrated.
I mean, dude ain’t done shit but a mixtape & a hook on 808′s.

March 25th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
