How J. Cole Really Makes Music | Deep Dive

J. Cole is one of the greatest rappers of his generation, and over the last decade of work, he’s made a strong case for one of the greatest of all time. Cole is a studio rat who has always taken his craft extremely seriously, but the craziest thing about his run is that he seems like he’s only been getting better with time. From his legendary feature run to the constant reinvention of his flow, Cole continues to prove why he’s earned his spot amongst the best in the game. From arena tours to tens of millions of albums sold he has reached heights that not many people in music will ever get to touch. But this video isn’t about going platinum with no features, this is about what J. Cole is like in the studio, straight from the mouths of Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and Kill Edward.
