J.Cole Gives Reason For Going Against Kanye West

Just a couple of days after Kanye West announced that his album (Yeezus) would be released on June 18th, J.Cole moved the release date of his album a week early to go face-off with Kanye. "Born Sinner" was meant to be released on the 25th of June, but you can read up on Cole's reason for making this quick decision below-




Instantly the lightbulb [turned on]... it got real. I made one phone call to somebody that would know, just to make sure first. As soon as I got it confirmed, I was like, 'Yo...' The idea hit me instantly: 'You got to go to that date. I'm not going to sit [here]... I worked too hard to come a week later after Kanye West drops an amazing album. It'd be like, 'Oh and J.Cole dropped too, a week later.' Nah. I'm going to go see him on that date. He's the greatest. So it's like, I'm a competitor by nature so it was instant, it wasn't even a thought," the Roc Nation artist continued. (Billboard)




It does make sense. I love stuff like this...it makes things interesting in the hip hop world. And by the way, the both of them are most definitely releasing two of the dopest hip hop albums of the year. I can't wait.
