He says it sums up the entire 2014 Forest Hills Drive album and his entire career up to now: J. Cole Explains The Meaning Behind “Love Yourz” and drops some more gems for the people!
In a recent sit down with the legend Tavis Smiley on PBS, J. Cole Explains The Meaning Behind “Love Yourz” and continues the crusade of his “F*ck Money, Spread Love” mantra. Vibe reports the 30 year old Roc Nation artist has made a point especially with the drop of Forest Hills of “learning to appreciate loved ones and the life you’ve been given.”
J. Cole Explains The Meaning Behind “Love Yourz” and says specifically:
“When I was young, I thought that success was all I needed. That was going to bring the happiness. Buying my mom a house, the fame, the accolades having people say ‘Yo, you really are the best in the game.’ I thought those things would bring the happiness. Then when those things came, the happiness wasn’t there.”
…well that’s definitely #RealTalk. Many people–fans or just casual listeners really appreciate this song among many on the album, highlighting “there’s no such thing as a life that’s better than yours.” The spirit behind J. Cole Explains The Meaning Behind “Love Yourz” also pushes the efforts by artists like Kendrick, who just got a huge nod from Kanye for the substance and music of “To Pimp A Butterfly.” Cole World’s currently on the 2014 Forest Hills Drive tour, which just announced will include a stop at Drake’s 6ixth annual OVO Fest.
