J Cole speaks at Harvard, talks about how the Grammy subconsciously disses hiphop and more.

Very good listen, he talks about how you come into the game with goals and a vision and how the politics of the music business changes things. Very good listen, very informative about the business!

Them Carolina country ? . Probably got the jacket tucked into his jeans -
-
my attention span too ? up for this long ass ? ...but yea ? look like he got some corduroy around the collar of that jacket
-
ay bruh ? you -
If he's going to do a concert/lecture college tour, I hope he doesn't ramble on like he did here.
-
kanye told us this in a more entertaining way

Smh @ Cole standin in front of his closet like should I go MJ or should I go Chopper

He did ramble a whole lot and all of his points could've been broken down without all the ? footing because I don't think he said anything about the industry that most of us who log in to the Ill didnt know already. The college tour idea is dope though but I wouldn't want him to stop after every song and explain. Like I wouldn't want him to stop after "Can't get enough" and take a question such as "where did the inspiration come from"
"Well I was with Rozay one day at a Chick Fil A and he ordered 12 chicken sandwiches, 5 orders of nuggets and some waffle fries and crush all of it.
I asked him "damn, man how can you eat so much"
"Ugh, I cannot get **burps** enough. Whoooo!"
**Snaps finger**
"That's the hook right thurrrr" -
I concur... -
j.cole cool and all but he garbage at the same time
i can't get over that ? completely ? up missy's 'nobody's perfect' with his off subject ass college dorm room sex stories -
Why do they (Kanye, Jay, etc) continue to show up and support something that disses them?
It makes no sense.
Start your own awards program. They have enough money and power (unless the power part is a myth). -

The Source award is as meaningless as sociology degree -
So are Grammys IMO...at least the Source Awards is judged by their peers or someone within the culture

how did he ? it up if he produce it? What you want him to talk about how these ? love cole for 2 mins with limited rhyming on some chief keef ? ? -
i just got a chance to watch through it but ? really need to have a plan b like cole. Say what you want about coles music that its boring it puts you to sleep but if his first album flopped he could easily do something behind the scenes producing or marketing cause his degree.
So many local rappers drop outta college which is fine steve jobs did it mark zuckerberg did it. But with rap unlike technology if you don't have a degree or the business smarts you ? up money wise for the rest of your life. 99.9% of people will never do what steve jobs did or chris rock did in their profession. You gotta have a plan b. -
