J. Cole Reveals How JAY-Z Tutored Him To Make Hit Songs

by

J. Cole has become one of the most recognizable hip-hop stars of all time. He is always included in the conversation for best rappers of the 2010 decade. His name is always next to Kendrick Lamar and Drake in those debates and deservedly so. Cole is one of the few lyrical mainstream hitmakers we have going today. However, the German born MC did not always find it necessary to become a master of hit songs. That is until J. Cole’s mentor JAY-Z taught him the way and convinced him to rethink things.

In a recent post from thehiphopwolf on Instagram, J. Cole revealed in a conversation how JAY-Z implored him to make some hits before dropping his debut tape. The “No Role Modelz” creator talked about his mindset going into his first LP saying that he was not concerned about that aspect. Instead, he was focusing more on making a classic. “That s***” could have sold 3,000, man that is supposed to be slept on.”

However, Hova quickly challenged that mentality once Cole signed to Roc Nation. Once J. Cole was told to go back and write up some hits, he said it took him a year to two years to do so. But, it was a full circle moment for him as now he sees it as a “superpower.” 2014 Forest Hills Drive was the start of that trend for Cole and he even said it himself in the clip above. “By the time [that] came by, I was smackin’ them b*****s out effortlessly.”

What are your thoughts on J. Cole revealing how JAY-Z taught him to make hit songs? Do you think JAY-Z is the greatest teacher in all of hip-hop, why or why not?

Rachel Dolezal Loses Teaching Job After Her OnlyFans Got Discovered

by

Rachel Dolezal is someone who came to infamy back in 2014. Overall, this was because she was the head of an NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington. This doesn’t seem too newsworthy on the surface. However, it became alleged that she was faking her ethnicity. It was revealed that she had two white parents and that she was simply presenting as a black woman to further her career. It was all extremely bizarre and she faded into obscurity. However, she got back into the news in 2021 thanks to the launch of her OnlyFans account.

Sometime in between then and now, Dolezal began working at a school in Arizona. According to the outlet KVOA, Dolezal, who now goes by Nkechi Diallo, was fired from her position this past week. The Catalina Foothills School District ended up finding out about her OnlyFans and decided to swiftly take action. As the school district explained, Dolezal was fired because the “posts are contrary to our district’s ‘Use of Social Media by District Employees’ policy and our staff ethics policy.”

Kevin Gates & Daughter Islah Practice Karate On IG

by

Kevin Gates just shared a wholesome clip of his daughter Islah teaching him karate on Instagram. While the Baton Rouge, Louisiana native is consistently busy with new music drops, he still took some time to learn. In fact, it seems like the learning experience that he gets with his daughter showing him the ropes of martial arts is exactly what he values the most about his relationships. Along with the short clip, Gates also penned a sweet message about learning from his children. Islah also seemed pretty excited to show her dad her moves… and defend him whenever necessary.

“On this Day #Islah was teaching her dad slash biggest student in the world Karate,” the “2 Phones” rapper wrote. “My children have been and are my greatest accomplishments and Teachers – Moments like this are priceless to me – Im beyond grateful I Love you All have a beautiful day full of Love and gratitude #Khaza #ImHim #Trying2Forgive.” Not only does Gates often show that love to his kids, but also the rest of his family. Most recently, his video and single “Breakfast” saw him rekindling a romance with his wife Dreka.

Kevin Gates’ Daughter Shows Him Karate

In other news, the 37-year-old recently gave his own take on the whole Melle Mel and Eminem debate. If you didn’t catch that, Mel said that Em is only considered a top five MC because he’s white, and had some other hot takes about Billboard‘s best rappers list. While speaking to TMZ, Gates said that such comments didn’t really change his perspective on Marshall Mathers’ greatness.

“He in my top 5,” he expressed to the publication, disregarding the Furious Five member’s disparaging remarks. “He the truth. Who can make a song like ’Stan’? Listen, I don’t get in all of that. It’s only two types of people. It’s real people, and it’s fake people. Real people do real things, and fake people do fake things.” While he didn’t outwardly disrespect Mel for his take, it seems like he took a stance to defend the tangible success that Eminem’s had. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news, updates, and occasionally wholesome content from Kevin Gates.
