Need "Dollar & A Dream IV" on the Fall Off

J. Cole just talked about how Kanye West was a massive influence in his come up, and how he helped him develop his sound

“My life was hella regular. I didn’t sell no dr*gs. It was nothing like my favorite rappers, I didn’t know how to talk about my life. And then f**king Kanye West happened”

“In the summer before I went to college, the Through The Wire video dropped and that changed my life. Kanye was the first time I saw myself in somebody”

“He just made it possible to talk about your life or your regular perspectives in a way that’s appealing. He became my favorite artist at that point. He kinda cracked my mind open”

There are so many people that felt that way including myself. 1 of 1

Real cool to hear this

Yea that s*** was funny lmao said he didn't even do his fafsa. Just showing up on move in day like that is crazy

Looking forward to the rest of these, they hinted at playing unreleased s*** too

Gotta play the come up after this lol. Been a minute

It's happening

Yo they're all about to go up?

Wow

I already had to put fnl on my s*** locally but his perception will change if new people tap into that project

Thats his classic debut lol hope they got stories about it

Yea fr a bunch of fans that never tapped into the tapes are in for a treat

This is well worth the $10 an hour in tbh

It's inspirational fr. Him believing so much in his dreams and also taking the chances that got him different opportunities and allowed him to meet the right people along the way.

And having a really far-fetched delusion like "I'm not just good at rapping, I belong with the best rappers" made him put in the work towards getting there

The fact that you said you gotta play this 2 hours before he up and did this hahaha

First Cole song I ever heard. Watched the premier on 106 & Park. Been my goat ever since. What a time man. This s*** was #1 on 106 & park for like 8 weeks

Man this was such a cool listen. I can’t believe there are ten episodes of this

Classic

How long was the first ep? Debating if I wanna tap in

Little over two hours

Tough graphic
