J.Cole Reveals Jay Z Once Told Drake to Give Him a Hit In Front of Them Both

[KingsOfKings]

I can imagine Cole standing there like 'haha, you a fool hov'

 

[KingsOfKings]

Drake standing there like

“ I don’t even give myself hits”

 

[FlyRy]

If you listen to the story Cole hit Jay up once he was off the henny, he said "when you were making Reasonable Doubt was anyone pressing you for a hit? So why you pressing me?" and he asked Jay "Where's the vision" because Jay forced him in a studio session with Stargate.

Sounds like a miserable time for Cole though, really shows how trying to force a hit can fukk with an artists whole creativity.

I remember this time period. Cole was pressed for a hit. I honestly don’t see how “work out” clicked. I thought that shyt was corny.

Really bad record

So then JAY walks in and he sees all of us together. He goes “yo!” and he looks at Drake and he says “yo, give the boy one”, points at Cole like basically ‘give him a hit’. We’re all like ‘what?’

fukking hilarious

Really bad record

What’s crazy is the one song that was a bop off FNL came off effortless yet he was struggling to come with a hit.



I never understood how he was able to come with the different variables and conflictions on this with reliability that most people feel when they get some bread yet Workout and Who Dat was so forced.

The whole second verse of rich nikkaz was all about Jay. U could tell there was tension.

That song was old as hell never would he a hit. Song had been out like 2 years before Drake got on it. Was a random throwaway that Drake just added a verse to, to say they had a record.

I know this. I had the OG version. Way before FNL dropped.

Fright Night Lights was supposed to be the debut, I think. It's a lot stronger.

Tbf that song wasn’t single material either.

We talking debut first single shyt, song that will bring the masses to you. He needed a workout. He could have easy been a big krit if he didn’t pull it off.

nikka!!!!!! Smh me and my brother always found it weird that he was at him in that verse

Saw through you and it made me ashamed that I played the game

 

[MikeStamina]

I can promise you there was no "confrontation"

 

[HabitualChiller]

Jay loves indirectly shytting on somebody in front of other people

That's New York níggas in general.

That’s crazy, because J Cole actually said in the podcast that when Jay Z told him he need help to make a song with the best writers and producers, he told Jay with watery eyes,”Nah, no I don’t”.

Jay Z telling Drake in front of Future (Drake’s Manager), E, and J Cole, “Give the boy one.”, is mad disrespectful. That “boy” hits so heavy and ugly.

I’m glad Cole stood up against Jay for him to understand from his point of view.
