I didn't even see these. I was annoyed when I went on Youtube the first day that the interview came out to find the videos, but it turned out to be a video of the same 2-4 pictures. Watching him speak instead of just listening to him is much easier & more pleasant for some people. Where's the video of the beginning of the interview?

It makes me like him less hearing his opinions about relationships.He sounds like a terrible spouse. I still like some of his music though.

BTW Did you all see is fiance on Wheel of Fortune. Her voice is so funny. I feel sorry for her sometimes. I could never do it. I think she has a plan though.

I didn't listen to the whole thing. I shut it off after what he said about expectations and relationships. I was kind of annoyed after I heard that.

That whole "the source of suffering is expectation and attachment" thing is actually J Cole's rephrasing of classic eastern philosophy (including the exact phrases)...

No. It was the way that he used it. He was talking about relationships. He basically said that if someone gets angry/sad because of cheating, it is their fault because they shouldn't have expected faithfullness. & He also said just because you stayed with someone for x ammount of time, does not mean that you should expect a wedding ring. The first line is cheater talk. He also said something like You can't expect him to think about you while he's here and you're there, and some other stuff about living in/ appreciating the moment. More cheater talk.

Interviewer: ...and what I hear also is when you're really at this high state of appreciation, not only do you need less but the universe responds and gives you more, do you find that?

Cole: For sure, I believe that 100% with my heart. The minute you stop holding on to that attachment, that's what really gets us attachments, attachments to things, and to wants and desires. That's where all suffering really comes from. Whether it's a relationships. Why do we have suffering because of this relationship, because you had an expectation, an attachment to an ideal of how you wanted this thing to go. Instead of just like, 'yo I love this person I love and appreciate the time we have right now in this moment." Because we're taught to put expectations on relationships. I now, because this is going good for two weeks, two months, two years I now expect that you're going to ask me to marry you and i now expect that your going to be a faithful husband. I now expect..so you have all of these expectations in your mind. So the minute something goes wrong,and you don't get that.. it's pain, it's tears, it's hate, it's bitterness. Because what you expected didn't come to fruition. But that was your expectation, which God...that might not have been in the plans, that might not have been in the cards

I can't find the rest of the quote, but you can just go back and listen to it. 9:50.

she wasn't working already? What's she doing with the money? her kids can't help her? does she have a car she can sell? jewelry?

I'm just talking out of my ass now but what I think happened was the mom decided to move out cause she was in that house by herself and it reminded her of her ex husband. Instead of putting up the money she got herself an apartment. I don't know shyt though

What are you gonna do about food and other expenses for the month? Gas? Heat and Electric?

What about the next month when you gotta pay up and you more than likley put what little money you had into getting up that 3200 and are now behind?

I think you are taking it the wrong way. He was just saying that you are in control of your own emotions. He wasn't saying that he should be able to cheat and it should be accepted. He was just explaining that the reason you are hurt/mad is due to your own expectations, which is true.

Interview becomes really good towards the end. CJ came through, and J Cole seems to be in a really good place.

He also said he thinks the same way in terms of thinking of his career, his positioning and how he talks about his lane with Steve Stoute. He also consigned Combat talking this way about going out and not having expectations about who would show up that night. He also quoted the Dalai Lama more in that same vein of mindfulness and eastern philosophy.

They shoulda never let LipstickAlley invade this board :p Imma let you cook though. You're gonna resume stanning Cole soon enough anyway.

He was talking about attachments in GENERAL, and general expectations and only used relationships as an example. Something we are ALL guilty of when in a relationship. We tend to EXPECT the one we are with to be a certain way, or EXPECT them to assume you are this kind of way, that's why most people wear masks and not reveal their true self due to fear of expectations. He was talking about removing ALL expectations and just stay true to whomever 100% of the time. Why you want to be in ANY relationship that expects you to be a certain way instead of who you truly are inside and out?

Giselle expected Cole to be perfect, found out that he wasn't and now here comes the tears, the pain and the bitterness.

I think he meant both.

I know what he said

You're gonna resume stanning Cole soon enough anyway.

Of course I will. How'd you know?

& That example that he used was his opinion about expectations in relationships. Did you hear the way his voice sounded when he said that? That wasn't just an example, he really believes that. Of course if someone is in a monog. relationship they would expect their partner to only be with them b/c that's what you agreed to when you entered the relationship. If you don't want to do that, be single or find someone who is ok with having an open reationship.

Giselle expected Cole to be perfect, found out that he wasn't and now here comes the tears, the pain and the bitterness.

Oh my gosh!
I thought this was so funny for some reason, idk why.

& I knew he wasn't perfect.
