J. Cole reveals he encouraged Dr. Dre to sign Kendrick Lamar

During Nardwuar's interview with J. Cole, which took place earlier this month in Santa Monica, Nadwuar asked J. Cole if he told Dr. Dre to sign an up-and-coming Kendrick Lamar.

After trying to comprehend how Nardwuar got the information, J. Cole said, "The answer is, yes. I did."

J. Cole continued, "I’m not gonna say I was the first to tell him ... When I brought him up to Dre, I was like 'You know what you gotta do', so I went in there working on Detox or whatever ... I was like 'Yo you gotta sign this kid from Compton.'"

"Shout out to Dr. Dre," Cole added. "He made the right decision." Skip to 43:39 to hear J. Cole speak about Dr. Dre and Lamar.
