J. Cole recently spoke to Hot 93.7 about how he hopes his sophomore album will be a strong competitor for Album of the Year at the next Grammy Awards. Cole phrased it in a pretty funny way:
"I'm trying to compete with the white people," he joked.
He stated that he feels as though Hip-Hop artists and the culture in general seems to always get snubbed out of big awards. He mentioned how CBS didn't air Drake winning "Rap Album of the Year" at the recent Grammys, and how rappers don't win for "Album of the Year" in general.
"I feel like Hip-Hop is little unappreciated. Not to mention, rappers never win for album of the year. Even Kanye West, who if any rapper deserved it in the past ten years it would be Kanye West with Graduation."
His second album, "Born Sinner" is scheduled to drop on June 25th. Let's see if his upcoming work will pay off at the next Grammy Awards.
