J. Cole has talked openly about the Hip Hop icons who motivated him to strive for excellence and establish himself as a prominent figure in rap.
Cole has recently sat down with Kevin Hart for the latest episode of Hart to Heart podcast on Peacock, where he paid homage to some of the game’s legends that paved the way like Eminem and 2Pac.
“I got a whole list of people who are the reason why I’m here — They don’t even know it but they are north stars that I was following. Obviously, Pac. Jay, Nas, Eminem, André 3000, Lil Wayne. And these are obviously the big bullets.” Cole said.
Then he continued: “I had Royce Da 5’9″ moments. I had Canibus moments. I had Boom Boom moments. But like in terms of the people that fueled my ambition. That showed me what was really possible. Like the first names I named, those are the highest ones. So those were the people where I was like, ‘Yo, I’m tryna get up there.’ In terms of skill, in terms of success, all of that they fueled it.”
