J. Cole raps about how he “Let Nas Down” on his forthcoming Born Sinner album, which is due in stores June 18. During an interview with Los Angeles radio station Power 106 yesterday (June 13), J. Cole says that Jay-Z let him down when he was an aspiring artist trying to give him a beat CD.
It was 2007. J. Cole was fresh out of St. John’s University and saw that Jay-Z was working on American Gangster. “I read the press release online and it was like, “Jay-Z, finishing American Gangster,” J. Cole says to Power 106’s Big Boy. “I was like, ‘Yo, he’s not done yet. I can go make beats right now and get on this album ‘cause I know where the studio is at. So I went home, made two beats, one was called ‘Top of the World,’ put a hook on it and everything. Burned my CD. Put the CD in the Jay-Z Vol. 3 […Life And Times Of S. Carter] case, maybe Vol. 2 […Hard Knock Life] case, closed it up, took the train to the city, stood outside the studio, me and partner E, for like three hours, with a bottle of E&J [Brandy], just like passing time waiting on Jay-Z to pull up. The Phantom finally comes around the corner. It’s raining by the way. We’ve been in the rain. The Phantom finally pulls around the corner. Someone get out the car in front of him just to open his door. That was their job, to get out their car, come to his car and open his door. He hops out. I’m froze. I don’t really know what to say. I’m like, ‘Yo, Jay I got this for you.’ He’s like, ‘What is that? What are you doing?’ I’m like, American Gangster, beat CD.’ I can’t really speak and he’s like, ‘Man I don’t want that shit, man. Give that to one of those guys.’ He said it. ‘I’m like, “Oh you mother… Don’t you know I’ve been out here for three hours?”
J. Cole says that that experience changed his perspective. “It took me 15 minutes to get over it, but I realized, ‘You’re not gonna get on like that. That’s not how its gonna happen,'” he says. “But when people come up to me, they give me their CDs, chances are I’m never going to listen just ’cause I’m busy. But I do take it, just to give em that extra boost. They go home like, ‘Yo, he took my CD.’ That might give ’em three more months of like inspiration.”
J. Cole later signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation company and began taking advice from Jigga when he was working on his debut album, 2011’s Cole World: The Sideline Story.

J cole is gay.
So is ur boyfriend!
I actually have a very stable relationship with my girl amanda.
amanda was a guy
I touched her breasts and I saw her vagina. No dick and I’ve been fucking her for 10 years.
Get it?? A Man.. Da!! haha, dental dam holding back all the cyber juices of Birdman, since he never sees any of Cash Money camp in real life
My girlfriend is indeed amanda and I am an accountant of YMCMB.
Everything you say is a lie.
so is ur father!
Oh you waited 3 hours… whoopie f*king doo. Don’t people wait 24 hours for a new pair of sneakers or a new video game. Go make a song about it while you cry over the track.
from an irish guy drunk as hell, cole do yo thing son, (i respect the fsct you know u half cracker like me) pick up the phone call pops U ONLY GOT GOT 1 LIFE COOL ALBUM
J Cole getting it in with Hov now, that’s all that matters. Checkout thegrandreport, they got some good entertainment news on there too

J Cole name drops more than Game.
ok theirs 5 ufo alian hidden videos fox news has it and is hideing it.on the count u ready go.
next on mtv where gonna find some housess and um
J Cole name drops more than Game. [2] I seriously doubt that the beats he made were good enough to make American Gangster, that was a solid ass album production-wise (as well as lyrically).
You can check that “Top of the World” joint on Youtube. It’s a decent beat/song, but it wouldn’t be fit for American Gangster. Not just quality wise, but because its tone/style.

I think the real lesson was to adopt Jay-Z’s sharklike personality.Get to where you want and don’t worry about temporary people in your path cause everyone is busy on their own mission. Make good music and stay relevant. Maybe cut down on the number of self pity littered kitty litter songs? Be happy he stopped long enough to look at you at all.

jay is cocky and a dick ridder, that why game disliked him in the 1st instance

You really need to get out of this site along with your ‘fredyyy’, ‘jasonnn’ and ‘micheal myers’ aliases. And learn to spell their names if you’re gonna use them for Christ’s sake.
I thought the song where he recalls that was “Villuminati”
fuck GAY-Z
he has the right temper and attitude about it. but he is dealing with cocky brother when dealing with jigga.
THIS STORY PROVES TWO THINGS:
A) HOW MUCH OF A DICKRIDER J. COLE IS
B) HOW MUCH OF AN ARROGANT SELF CENTERED FAGGOT JAY Z IS.
Ya’ll dickriding fans could buy into this BS, but at the end of the day, ya’ll just as lame as the music you listen to.
PRODIGY/ALCHEMIST “ALBERT EINSTEIN” ALBUM IS RIDICULOUS.
Prodigy’s ryhmes are trash, c’mon son. I’ll admit, he did step it a little bit lyrically, but his rhymes still ain’t that great. AND Alchemist has been making horrible beats lately, so I definitely am surprised, because the beats on this album are much better than I thought they would be. But still, I believe Alchemist is far more capable of making better beats than this. He was better back in the day…But this album still is worthy of buying.
You idiots, saying Jay Z is a faggot and cocky muthafucka for not taking his CD…PLEASE!!! I’m a NOBODY, and when I’m walking in the city and muthafuckas try to give me their CD I don’t even take it!! So what the hell you think Jay Z’s gonna do?? I mean come on, be realistic. You know how many dudes have probably tried to give him their music?? Automatically in your head, you’re already thinking that their music is garbage! But I want to know if Cole has now told this story to Jay to see if he remembers it!
Couldn’t have said it better.

[Jay-Z]
I taught ’em about fish scale they want me to fish for them
They want me to catch clean, then cook up a dish for them
All of this just for them, or they got a diss for him
They want me to disappear, like it’s gonna SHIFT for them
They say that I’m in the way, they want me to sit with them
But what they admitting is, they ain’t got shit for him
But really the fact is, we not in the same bracket
Not in the same league, don’t shoot at the same baskets
Don’t pay the same taxes, hang with the same bitches
So how am I in the way, what is it I’m missing?
Nigga I been missing, nigga I been gone
The shit that you just witnessed is the shit that I been on
And as for the critics, tell me I don’t get it
Everybody can tell you how to do it, they never did it
Now these nigga’s is mad, oh they call me a Camel
But I mastered the drought, what the fuck I’m an animal
Half-man half-mammal
My sign is a Sag, this is just what I plan to do
Oh don’t be mad
