J. Cole Reveals The Song That Won JAY-Z’s Approval
J. Cole has shared some insight into what it takes to impress the likes of JAY-Z, stating that it takes a special kind of song to win his approval. In a recent interview, Cole revealed that the song that ended up doing just that was “Let Nas Down,” a cut from 2014’s Forest Hills Drive.
According to Cole, “Let Nas Down” was the one song that really impressed JAY-Z, who is known for his demanding and high standards in the music industry. Cole credits the song’s raw emotional honesty as the key to winning over the rap icon’s approval.
In a humble tone, Cole said, “I think the reason why JAY-Z likes ‘Let Nas Down’ is because it’s a very honest and vulnerable song. It’s a very raw song, and it’s a song that showed a different side of me, which is the truth.” He continued, “I think JAY-Z likes that, because it’s not just a song that’s trying to be loud or bombastic; it’s a song that’s trying to connect with people on a real level.”
With JAY-Z being one of the most respected and revered figures in the hip-hop community, Cole’s endorsement of “Let Nas Down” is a major seal of approval for the young artist. His ability to craft a song that touched someone as legendary as JAY-Z is a testament to his growing talent and commitment to making meaningful music.
