i could easily spin this entry into a huge story about a wild and crazy night out in the bronx. but i won’t. i’ll just tell you this. in a semi-drunken stupor, i began running off at the mouth to a stranger about this north carolina rapper that my man and mentor aristotle put me on to while we were both over interning @ def jam. i don’t remember exactly what i was saying, but i probably said something like this:
“…yea man, his name is j. cole, and he flow is kinda insane. i think aris came across a diamond in the rough.”
and the man looked at me, emotionless, and said, “i’m j. cole.”
oh boy. he probably thought that i knew what he looked like, and i purposely said all this stuff around him to cise him a bit. but in actuality, i was just talking about the last thing i heard on my ipod. and by coincidence, i was talking to j. cole about himself. i felt foolish.
fast forward a few months, and mr. cole has developed into a gem. you know why i like this guy? because he doesn’t stop flowing. like on this “royal flush” freestyle. i just threw this on repeat 6 straight times, and honestly, i think he shoulda replaced raekwon on the original version.

you know i’m right.

and he just jumped on that new jazmine sullivan joint! she’s about to be what lauryn hill should have been after her first album. if this is the official remix, consider him made. if it’s not, it should be.

the video for the original version below.
oh, and if anybody knows jazmine, tell her modi would love to take her out to PF changs or somewhere that she likes to eat. immediately.
