In this segment Big Sean tells us the story of how he got Kanye's attention but then struggled to survive for a couple years before he got signed.

Sean goes on to talk about how his relationship with Kanye has evolved and how Kanye put him on the spot to rap in a cypher with Pharrell, The Teriyaki Boyz, Nigo, etc during Bathing Ape photo shot in Japan.

You will have to watch for the answer but we will tell you that BoB was on Yelawolf first mix tape ever on a song called "Run", which we play a snippet of during the interview. In the middle of Wolf talking about Wiz Khalifa a couple fans stop by and ask him for an autograph, since no one had a pen they end up taking a shot together. Side note the interview took place on a side walk in Austin, TX during SXSW and every couple seconds fans would walk by and want to talk to the man. It is easy to see from his interactions with them that Yelawolf truly cares about his fans. Back to the interview...Nick mentions that every time he hears I WISH that he wonders about the motivation behind that song and if Yelawolf had to deal with a lot of people saying he is not Hip Hop.

www.hardknock.tv Exclusive in-depth interview with J Cole! Part 2 starts with Cole talking about the title of the debut album "Cole World -- The Sideline Story" and how it came about. The album has evolved from when we first interviewed Cole almost 3 years ago from having NO ID producing most of it to Cole producing most of it. Cole wants to have 15 songs saying Miseducation of Lauryn Hill has 15, Kanye's College Drop out has 15, even though Jay-Z wants 14. Cole addresses the criticism that he should work with more mainstream producers saying he has something to prove about his own production. He would rather go out swinging on his own than go ask Swizz Beatz for a radio record. No diss to Swizz intended. How can you knock a man for trying to take control of his own destiny?? Cole says that he has been producing since day 1 and tells the story of the first song he ever did saying he did the beat from one of his Moms cd and wrote the story to that. He was 15 and the song is called The Storm. Cole says that he appreciates Jay-Z being hands off and its Jay'z respect for Cole's artistic vision that has allowed Cole to do his own thing. As the conversation moves along Cole speaks on the High and Lows of the journey, which has been the making of Cole World- The Sideline Story. Speaking of frustrations he says that the leak of Lost Ones hurt cause the song wasn't finished and he wanted fans to hear it with in context of the whole album but at the end of the day Cole says his ...
