J. Cole Says Joint Project With Kendrick Lamar Is “Mad Competitive”

    While there’s not release date slated for the project, J. Cole’s latest update on his joint effort with Kendrick Lamar will surely raise the expectations for the release.

    “It’s mad competitive,” said Cole of the release in an interview with MTV News. “It has to be, because we both love it. We’re not gonna speak about it, it’s not gonna be like, ‘Yo man I killed you.'”

    “It’s pride. You have pride in your craft and what you do, but to a certain extent,” he added.

    “It’s not about who’s better verse, it’s about the song,” he qualified, but admitted that he still wants to best his partner-in-rhyme. “But if it’s just for flexin’, you definitely wanna show out.”

    Cole revealed that he and K. Dot already record a considerable number of tracks. “It’s coming. We already got too many songs. Even if you just get an EP, you gonna get something, but we got sh– that we holding in the stash,” he said.

    1. 1 – Rakim did the scratching and producing on the albums, Eric B. was just the promoter
      2 – T.I. was shot AT when he was 12, tho of course he survived
      3 – Ice Cube CRIED after Above the Law beat his ass back in 1990

      1. nas? more like NOT, that nigga aint it at least not in my neighborhood these niggas here for real not just some showboat ass nigga

      2. Cole haters crack me up…Dude can spit, produce, mix and master his own records and still gets trumped by Lamar? Naw brah…I like Kendrick too, but come on man

    2. This will be a great project if ever released. If would be even better if it was Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole and Big K.R.I.T. Three great MC’s, two good producers and one damn good project!

      1. I completely agree! My favorite 3 in the game hands down right now. I give props to A$AP Rocky, Joey Bada$$, and anyone else that uses dollar signs in their name. But for real…

    3. Message to J.Cole… NONE of those dogshit punchlines you had on Sideline Story are gonna touch Kendrick. You better step your shit up x100000 if you wanna be in his league.

      1. Not from Sideline Story, but saying Cole can’t hang with Lamar lyrically is just comical…this coming from a fan of them both:

        “To those who had love for me in the past
        Who woulda thought time would fly by so fast
        I remember back in class we used to make believe
        Like it was draft day
        Swore that we would make the league, be rich
        Saturday morning had to rake the leaves, awww shit
        Watch how they pile up
        Seem like a mile up
        I was the blisters on my hand than I dial up my best friend
        Skating ring is where we headed tonight
        And if a nigga disrespect, yes we ready to fight
        In retrospect that shit seemed petty
        At the time, the shit was heavy
        Cause life was all about your name
        You had to scrap with any nigga that would call you lame
        Ashamed no doubt, so many niggas go they brains blown out
        Snatched a nigga chain and he got his name rolled out in obituaries
        Another body in a cemetary
        Another young nigga in the penetentiary
        And he don’t give a fuck no missionary
        Rap visionary, paint a picture nigga pictionary
        Tell you what it is, I’m a dictionary
        I knew a nigga that threw his dick in every chick in every city that he went to
        Went hard like the rent do
        Till he met the wrong bitch, man just came home ex-convict
        And he stay on with that Thriller
        Shit, fucking around with them killers”

        J. Cole – “Killers”

    4. J. COLE AND KENDRICK LAMER ARE THE WORST RAPPERS THAT KILLED HIP-HOP WITH THEIR FAKE SWAG FAG RAP!

      LISTEN TO HOPSIN! THAT NIGGA IS THE BEST RAPPER OF ALL-TIME AND WILL KILL TUFAG SHITKUR!

      1. @ anon

        WEIRD, because it ain’t funny at all
        After 374.984.603 times it becomes REPETITIVE
        Same ol’ troll “jokes” day in, day out, get a f*cking LIFE

        Ontopic

        Good Hip Hop news
        Both of them are dope MC’s
        Looking forwards to their projects

    5. will it be as competitive or as dope as Bad Meets Evil?

      i highly doubt it.

      1. maybe perhaps possibly more ‘meaningful’ but DEFINITELY not more lyrical. kendrick and especially j cole arent on shady or royce’s level

      2. yeah at least their not making songs with bruno mars,shadys a sellout and fuck outta here with that shady dick ridin shit

    6. Don’t slum Kendrick. Let J. “Keysha” Cole get his second album out, wait for it to go triple wood, then throw him a lifeline.

      1. No flop son watch him sell around 275k in the 1st week alone. Power Trip is gonna blow up in a month.

      2. Um, I’m not positive and no disrespect to Kendrick, especially since I bought GKMC, but I think Sideline Story has sold more units – And yes I know Kendrick will eventually outsell him – but besides that, being signed to Roc Nation-Sony long-term sounds a lot more promising these days when it comes to promotion versus Aftermath-Interscope – just my opinion.

      3. Nah B. GKMC sold 242,000 1st week. Cole World sold 218,000. Why do ya’ll insist on spreading false information in a time where Wikipedia exists?

      4. “Why do ya’ll insist on spreading false information in a time where Wikipedia exists?”

        This. A thousand times. Fuck

      1. Great, now you can be my girlfrien. Notice I didn’t put the D, cause of course you’ll get that later.

      2. then go listen 2 watch the throne n dont blog on here.. im not about to prejudge bec thats what everyone on BLOG SITES ONLY do is pre judge..

        and jayz carried WTT.. w.o him it woulda been forgettable but they had some bangers

      3. Wu wear: Correct me if I’m wrong, but you must like the the Wu-Tang Clan. That would mean to me that you respect lyrics. To me that would then mean you listen closely to lyrics. Jay’s verse on No Church In The Wild was dope and profound. With that said, I start to question your credibility and worthiness of the ‘Wu’ in your name.

      4. Yeah that verse was good but certainly nothing spectacular…his lyrics on WTT were more “rolies that don’t tick tock” than “blood on the mausoleum floor”

    7. good 2 hear two legit spitters teaming up and puttin energy into it..def peep this shit when it drops

      1. FUCK OUTTA HERE NIGGA! K.Dot sure is a great lyricist, but Cole is too. It’s gonna be amazing to see them push each other to greatness! COLE WORLD, TDE!!!

      2. J. Cole is a good lyricist but his content is trash. Dude only talks about chicks, plus his lyrics game still is not up to par with Kendrick’s. I won’t say Kendrick’s music shits on Cole’s weakest because Cole has some good stuff out too, but Kendrick is 10 times the emcee J. Cole is. Cole needs to talk about some real shit, he needs substance.

      3. so those new 5 cole songs he just put out were all about chicks? shut the fuck up and stop making opinions based off only radio singles

      4. First off, fuck you, you fucking dickhead for tryna tell me to shut the fuck up when your stupid ass is clearly wrong. I wish i could see you in person to see if you’d say that shit to my face.
        Okay, I shouldn’t have said he only talks about chicks, but many of his songs are all about that. Mostly he just needs substance and good subject matter.
        Anyways, this mixtape is called truly yours, which i’m assuming is directed towards a female, although I could be wrong. 1st track: Can i holla at ya? about chicks.
        2nd track: Crunch time? not about chicks but still lacks substance (which is what I was arguing). 3rd track: rise above? about chicks. 4th track: tears for ODB? rare exception. 5th track: Stay? about chicks. he could be one of the best ever if he actually had anything to talk about

    8. This gone the best album of 2013, J cole spitting the real and got some hard punch lines, Kendrick coming with his flame too. What other rappers can out do this album? NONE!!!!

    9. i hope it’s a free tape cuz both of their real albums cant hold fire to their either artists mix tapes.

    10. THAT PROJECT WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, JCOLE U GOTTA PUT YA OWN WRK IN AROUND HERE CHAMP TDE AINT HAVING U PIGGYBACK OFF OF KDOT THEY DONT ALLOW THEIR OWN ARTIST TO DO IT SUCKA!!!

      1. yea & roc nation brought half of those sales why else would it take 2years for a platinum artist to drop another album homie?? i’ll wait…………..

    11. I’m looking forward to this album. Yes J-Cole is hit or miss and I say that reluctantly because I, like many others, (as a fan) had high hopes for his music potential. I have been let down, but Cole does surprise here and there.

      I’m hopeful of their upcoming albums because of these two songs from their past work together.

      1.) Hiii Power – Album: Section 80(Dope concept, J-Coles beat compliments the concept, Kendrick’s profound lyrics.
      2.) Temptation – Unreleased work that’s hopefully on the upcoming album. Link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQDF3NUheZM

      Thoughts?

    12. Since I was an adolescent during the 80’s I rarely get impressed by Rap music of today. Not that I think it’s wack, it just ain’t me. Kendrick’s an exception though. I’m looking foward for this one.

    13. If they want this project to succeed, they need to call ja rule to jump on a few hooks, nigga is the most relevant nigga in the history of rap

    14. i’m sorry y’all this ain’t coming out until ja rule approves of it, as the master of hip hop, he needs to approve of this shit first. so yeah, july 28th when ja rule gets out, we’ll see if this project is actually happenin’

    15. ja rule won’t let this happen unless they let him fuck their girlfriends. once ja rule collects this reward, they may record shit

    16. ja rule is the only nigga in the hip hop game who’s still relevant as fuck, Pain is Love 2, 6 mil sold. and counting

    17. ja rule is makin’ shivs in jail as we speak, he gonn stab all y’all haters and then he’ll go wild with the crutch

    18. Yall niggas say this troll nigga needs to stop with the ja rule comments, i say keep em comin!! lol, shit is HILARIOUS

    19. thanks ma nigga, we tryin’ to keep this shit as fresh as ja rule is… he be workin’ out in jail, takin’ ’em cocks in the ass (to prove how straight he is by being so comfortable takin’ cocks up the ass, that way he shows confidence in his heterosexuality), makin’ shivs, and plottin’ how he’ll murder the fuck outta 50 cent when he gets out. Just y’all wait, july 28th, it’s gonna be a BOMB!

    20. Ja Rule gonna come out wearing a skirt and suckin dick nigga might not wonna leave with all the cock he been gettin in the joint HAHAHA he will change his name to “Gay Rule” hahahahahaa

    21. Lemmie give a big shoutout to my dx niggas out there still holdin me down, shits about to get real this summer, 50 betta watch his butthole cause im coming straight with the meat cleaver
      -Its Murd!!!!!!!!

      1. Butch got your butthole all loose in prison and you mad at me. What the fuck is this shit? I’m gonna snuff you and let yayo do his dance all over your body.

      1. Normaly I dont pay attention reading comments like this one…but
        This one is a No No!!! Wtf u putting people numbers on blogs like that for??!!!
        U rat!!..backstabbing hater!!!…how low can u go!!!

    22. J Cole and Kendrick are definitely two new artist really bring Emceeing back, I mean they’re lyrical and the rhymes are thought out ! I hope they get the credit they deserve…

    23. Who cares about these talentless nobodies. Ja Rule is back and is gonna be on top of the game by the end of the summer.
