Ep 150

Cole Jackson breaks down two major interviews that have the culture talking — and they couldn’t feel more different.

J. Cole finally sits down, but instead of clarity, it raises more questions. From dodging the Drake situation to redefining himself as a battle rapper, something about this rollout isn’t landing right.

Then there’s Jay-Z. In a rare interview, Hov speaks openly on his current mindset, but his stance on battling raises a bigger question about where hip-hop is headed.
