J. Cole Rapper Quotations

I just feel like, with rappers, there's so much complacency. It's like, 'Oh, I'm a rapper. I'm successful. I make money. That's all that matters.' But there's a lot of stuff going on in the world. Whether or not you're aware of it, it's happening.

I want people to follow their dreams, yes... but I'm not interested in telling young black kids how to be rappers... I want to show them that there's so many other paths you can take, besides a rapper or basketball player.

It's no coincidence that all the greatest rappers - whoever you put in your top five - I guarantee you they are great storytellers.

No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.
