"You're not free thinking when your ego is pulling the strings" I don't think I have ever heard something more profound from a celebrity.

This man is so self-aware. We need his voice.

The most wholesome interview I've seen of Cole. He's living his philosophy and finding his peace even today in 2024. He'll go down as one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIMES.

Bro j cole needs a podcast 😭I need it

He literally has the most beautiful soul.

J Cole is the type of person you can talk to about cereal, and have a deep ass conversation about it.

I need to have a conversation with J Cole before I die. His soul is so wise and beautiful.

he’s definitely read a lot of books. his self-awareness mentality is straight from the book ‘untethered soul’. this artist is everything.

J. Cole the only person that will have me watch an hour and half long interview and not even feel time passing by.

I’m putting having a conversation with Jermaine Cole on my bucket list

This man is literally so pure with the most beautiful heart. 2 years later I'm here again, for probably the 10th time watching this interview. Sometimes I just need Cole's voice as a reminder of certain things.

J Cole is the greatest rapper of all time it's 2020 i'll come back here 5 years from now just to say told you so.

J cole you need to write a book ! 📖 Like this so that he can see it !!

"My mom is a G" -j. Cole "My girl is a champ" j. Cole I love this dude

2024 am still here.

Can we appreciate that there's no ads in here

Real J Cole fans knows how important this interview is...

This is straight up therapy for me.. I love this so much.

Watching Cole and Kendrick interviews should be a way of life, they're so profound. The Bob Marley and Prince of hip hop. Two of the greatest of all time ❤

I really wish Cole would sit with Angie again before he finally retires

Cole needs to do a Ted Talk

J Cole is a Therapist...

I like how Cole has mastered communication skills!

Cole is Human. Thats his super power !

Cole's self-awareness and introspection is next level...

This interview is light years ahead of most of the other interviews I have seen. Angie does a great job of steering the conversation while still being aware of J. Cole's comfort level.

literally use this interview as therapy. anytime I'm stressed over overwhelmed, i watch this interview.

Anyone else rewatching this before The Off-Season??

"i dont want to mean that much to you not bc i dont care about you but bc i actually care about you" Damn yo

"You're not free thinking when the ego is pulling all the strings."

I already admired J cole as an artist. This interview made me admire his personality. Man his humble AF

I can still remember the moment that I stumbled upon J. Cole. It was 4/20/2018 the release of K.O.D. I was just chillin in my room and saw in spotify that J. Cole released a new album, and I listened to it. After like an hour, I was shocked cause it opened my eyes on how big people's problems are. As a 17 year old kid back in 2018, I was just living every single day in my comfort zone. But when I heard the song Brackets, it gave me this opportunity to like look at other people as human without judgement. Craved for more lessons and I started streaming J. Cole's songs. Stumbled upon Apparently, Change, False Prophets, etc. these helped me to grow internally as a young man. I just wish that someday I could like tell Cole how his music constantly reminds how amazing life is despite its difficulty. I'm now 20 years old and I still apply the discipline and lessons that I got from Cole's music.

The fact that he admits that social media is an addiction and is trying to not be controlled by it I think it’s a great inspiration. Thousands of people are guilty of it and I feel like it steals our time, questions our self love and just robs your time for entertainment. So raw

This man got interviews more entertaining and knowledgeable than most rappers actual album

Let’s all celebrate them while there still here not when they dead and gone

I love listening to J Cole talk seriously it's very therapeutic for me. He drops ALOT of knowledge and it makes me think about my life and what I could be doing better to better myself as a human being and I've really been trying to become more spiritual and strengthen my faith! Much love to all of you ❤️🙏

J Cole low key transforming into the hip hop version of Bob Marley

The energy between Cole and Angie feels so mature and wholesome, very refreshing

He literally had the opening of the Climb Back right at 56:35. He asks himself questions, and solves them in his music. Amazing.

Did I just sit through a whole 1 hour and a half interview for Cole, yes

Who out here sitting through this whole interview wit me 😂

He's so humble I love it

Praying the stars align for a Angie x Cole interview when The Off Season drops to make it 3 for 3. The growth and maturity Cole has shown over this last decade had been nothing but inspiring! Hope me n bro bro get to chop it up one day ☝🏾🌍 #coleworld

This is another reason to love J.Cole. Honest, not like everyone else and self contained

Dang just looked up Jcole wife and you see alot of old pics. Man she been there since day 0. Now that's a blessing.

This right here is beautiful.This interview will be legendary,Cole world 👑

Not a single chain or watch , he is truly a great , he is a genius and humble , his flows and bars are outta this world , King cole 4ever !💯💯🔥

hes an amazing communicator, the hand gestures when presenting ideas are so important when discussing your thoughts

A real J. Cole fan would watch this interview while eating food and watching it like it’s a history lesson on realness

Cole goes to an interview, ends up asking the interviewer questions, lmao, love this guy

Who’s still here 2024 …can’t stop watching this interview 🐐 ❤

I hate I just found this interview 4 years later but this was heavyy! But God is so intentional and I thank him everyday because 4 years ago I wouldn’t have even had the capacity to grasp what is being talk about in this conversation.

Lesson of this interview.. "Fill your hole" with your own ambition, your own growth, your own achievements and most importantly.... Love. Forgive yourself and others and move on to better yourself and the next chapter of your life.

Man, I can appreciate his spacing between words for thought gathering. Very little ums, no averting, or projection, just patience in search of the right words for the most honestly accurate response. Props.

3 years later and these things are still relevant. Cole's words will live on forever. His spirit, my God. A treasure that we all have within us but won't tap in.

I like the fact he doesn't wear big chains and fancy clothes and hide his feelings and act tough or gangsta that makes him relatable and real for me

Angie: How are you on instagram? J. Cole: (thinks for a minute) ... i'm trash on instagram. 😭😭😭

The Meditation part was really deep. very relatable.

The part where he’s talking about his stepdad almost made me tear up I relate so much it was such a dark time when my stepdad lived at the house almost my whole life when my dad left the house my stepdad came around when I was 8 im 17 now and he left glad those dark days are over prayers to anyone going through the same 🙏

Even 4yrs on my mind is blown away at the deep words I am resinating with, excellent interview please interview JCole now in 2023, I feel his words have come to fruition 4yrs on

J Cole is *DEEP*

I love j cole bc u know when he take them pauses he’s actually thinking about wat he is saying before he says it and a lot of people don’t do that now💯

The look on his face when she started reading his stats just says it all. He’s so human and so relatable and that’s why he has the fans he does, loyal 4L

I am a few months into therapy started getting dark, depressed and suicidal ideation around December. Yesterday celebrated my 27th birthday and someone asked me “what Cole album do you want to listen to?“ I replied KOD. This album has been healing, encouraging and supportive in a way as I deal with my stuff. There are many songs of Coles that are like this but this album definitely helps when I feel vulnerable, uncomfortable, or lost in those feelings, when I want to cope in ways that are hurtful to me. So to turn on this interview and his music has been helpful. Thankful for sure for J Cole. 🙏🏽

the fact that i can't have this conversation with people around me is really hurting, it's nice that this interview is so long so whenever i need to talk with someone with a brain i come back here

Cole needs to write a book.

Cole is so humble that whenever he speaks i feel like a brother is consulting with me i just love this guy and my fuckin inspiration

4 years later and this is still one of the best interviews I've ever watched🙇‍♂️🐐

An hour and 34 Min of GREATNESS👏🏾✊🏾✊🏾

I LITERALLY DROPPED EVERYTHING TO WATCH THIS LOL, we don't get J.Cole interviews often

angie: "but you can't do everything" cole: "i'm not saying that I can. What I'm saying is that I can't just do one thing" wow

Watching before The Off Season comes out 🙏🏾✨🥂

Cole is wise af

This is G O L D. His conversations are high level, deep.

This dude is a genius. His conversations are awesome

This interview is so on point.his self awareness is something to be admired

"you're not free thinking when your ego is pulling the strings" - yes, my dude

A real J.Cole fan will watch this whole interview! #Respect

I’m convinced the Holy Spirit is trying to talk to J.Cole wanting to become a better person the next step is to create a relationship with God such a great guy.

47:47 talk about it Cole. Don't hold back. This is the inner you being as real as you can be. No one can mess with what you're saying right here.

Lol my mom walked in while I was watching this and says "I like this boy"

Cole has such carefully worded and constructed sentences, you can tell that he thoughtfully crafts his speech, and that's what makes him such a great artist and an even better person to me.

I love j cole he's cute,humble,down to earth, funny, good conversationist, and full of intelligence truth and wisdom.

I've seen this interview about 7 times. Every time I'm dealing with a mental block, I get pulled to watch this and every single time, I feel better after watching this. It reminds me to stay present and conscious of my choices. I wish Cole had a podcast man. lol

This interview is so organic. I felt like i was in the room observing.

"You're not free thinking when your ego is pulling the strings" J. Cole 2k18

I watched this years ago.. and I’m back again. One of the realist interviews I’ve watched.

We need a J.Cole podcast.

This interview made me reflect on myself - not on a judgmental way but in a conscious way - THANK YOU COLE

*He's so chill*

OMG I haven't listened any of his songs, I didn't know him this way. He is so wise, uplifting!

J. Cole has a place in my heart now, just cause of how he carries himself, and how his TRUE to HIMSELF FIRST before anything else I look up to the truth!

Much respect to Cole. Very wise and humble person. Can't wait for some new jams in the future

"You not free thinking when your EGO is pulling the strings" 🔥

This man is so highly rounded ( actualized). J Cole you continue to amaze me with your music, your drive, and your authenticity. I relate so much with your thoughts, your vulnerabilities and intentions. You’re a beautiful man with a huge heart. Thank you for bringing me up and also teaching me that making sense of the art, the continual practice , of living this life. Blessings and peace.

I’ll never get tired of J COLE

“I’m just a man of the people, not above but equal, and for the greater good I walk amongst the evil”

Cole being open with his anxiety is something I really admire. It’s really hard for me to put words to how my anxiety feels, and having someone like him to look up to is valuable

i cannot begin to tell you how much this interview means to me, i was no doubt meant to see it today for the first time. love you forever.

The last thing he says is "Find purpose in smaller things and then build from there." that hit me right where it was intended.
