Over the weekend, J. Cole sat down for an online Q&A with the message board community on Reddit, and answered some pretty interesting questions from fans. The Born Sinner rapper discussed everything from his favorite Outkast album, his production process, funny stories from before he “made it,” the list goes on. Two of the questions he answered that really stuck out to me were about his upcoming collaborative album with Kendrick Lamar, and his use of the word “f*ggot” in his verse on the Born Sinner-cut, “Villuminati.” The latter was interesting particularly because of his strategy behind it…as it wasn’t just haphazardly placed in the song. Check out what he said below.
Fan question:
One thing that I think everyone here wants to ask: Can you tell us anything new about your upcoming album with Kendrick Lamar? I really love Born Sinner by the way, can’t wait to see where you go next, but I want to emphasize how good what you’re doing right now is. And thanks for doing this AMA!
Cole’s answer:
Thank you. This question will be asked a lot so I’ll just answer it here. We have some really good songs in the stash, but haven’t had a chance to properly work on a project. An album will come in the future, but probably not this year. I’m just happy for my niggaaa
Fan question:
Have you received any feedback (positive/negative) about your “Faggot” bars on Villuminati?
Cole’s answer:
yes. i’m a communications major, studied PR. I knew what I was getting into. The comment I gave to Huffington Post was genuine and the reason why I wrote those bars. The line even makes me uncomfortable, but it’s worth it for the sake of the conversation.
