J. Cole no longer making his own beats

[Enchanted]

I've been waiting for this day for so long

You don't get this far without taking risks. What's been your biggest creative risk?
Producing all my own songs and refusing to go to the hot producer. That’s the biggest risk I’ve taken so far. Constantly taking that risk by not going to whoever is hot and still be as far as I am. It’s a blessing but it’s also been a huge risk because I’m not using the current hip hop sound. Whoever does the beats for people; I didn’t go run to them. Of course I will now because I want to now, I’m tired of having to make the beats from scratch. Up to this point, that’s been my biggest risk I’ve taken, deciding to do it all on my own, production wise.

3rd album about to be his Hard Knock Life

now he needs to improve on his rapping skills, he is still a 5/10 mcee

I really respect J Cole for making his own beats, i feel like most of them are semi-decent to good... but having just that little bit extra better production on his first two albums could have elevated how everyone sees J Cole as an artist...

 

[Plexxx]

probably a good thing. none of his beats really standout

About fukking time
I've been waiting for this to happen for a while now. I hope this helps his music.

Ehhh...I like Cole's production for the most part. Doubt he'll completely stop making beats.

[Wepa Man]

His beat sounds like timbaland 1999 beats

 

[DanielAlfredsson]

I actually like the beats he's done for other people more than most of the ones he uses himself.

 

[desp]

He made this too, didn't he?

If he does half his beats and then get the other half from other producers that would be

I don't want him to stop completely because thats how he has kind of built his own sound and I thought the production on Born Sinner was much improved.. Power trip, Forbidden Fruit, She knows, Land of Snakes, and Let Nas Down have good production..... but then when I hear something like "Aint that some shyt" I'm like maybe he could have left a few off of there.

So I'm interested to hear him over some other people's production. I wonder which producers he would use... I think Big KRIT could make some great beats for Cole..
