Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar recently talked to Global Grind about his collaborative project with J. Cole, and why the album has been set aside. Lamar reasoned that his solo album was more important to focus on, so he told Cole to chill for the moment.
"You can put the blame on me, just off the fact that my debut album coming up. I have to make that priority," explained the West Coast rapper to Global Grind. "I didn't want to work on too many different projects. Gotta keep that focus on "Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City". Cole understands that."
Lamar also had some kind words for his collaborator.
"Two days ago, I was out in the studio with him. We were chopping it up. The reason why I really mess with dude is because he's so genuine as a person. A lot of times you come across other rappers or other artists, and the competitive spirit is always there. It's there so much that you can't even talk to them as a person. But Cole is one of them dudes that'll tell you his faults, his mistakes, and his insecurities, and his highs."
