The line that got the autism community mad at Cole! Good times

Kinda underrated imo. A gem from the NWTS era.




“The story of how I got that verse done was so wild … Drake came down for the Irving Plaza show then we went to Best Buy after, got them CDs then we went to the club and he told me he was gonna drop those four songs Friday night,” Cole tells VIBE. “I’m just like ‘Oh, that’s gonna be amazing. We gotta do something’ and he’s like ‘Yo hop on this Jodeci joint that I got.’

In this instance, time was still of the essence for Jermaine. “I’m tellin’ him that I’m gonna do it but I’m thinkin’ about my schedule and how I have no time,” he admits. “Everyday, my day is filled – wake up, go do three radio stations, meet and greet, interviews, then go do an in-store signing, the ‘Dollar and a Dream’ show, the after party then go to the next city.”

During his pit stop in Philly, the 28-year-old completed the task right before Drizzy’s loaded release. “In D.C., I went from the club, straight from the after-party to the studio, wrote the verse then we hit around 5:30, 6 a.m.,” he recalls about the partial all-nighter. “I was so tired and was like I gotta finish the rest tomorrow [then] drove to Philly and only got four hours of sleep on the bus, woke up, went straight to the studio, knocked the rest of the verse out and then did a meet and greet. I was really nervous but I got it done.”

“That was a big moment and [Drake] killed all of them joints too by the way,” he said. “It was a great night.”

Always loved this track. This was a GOAT weekend for Drake. He dropped Jodeci, The Motion, Versace, and Over Here with PND.

Jodeci was originally just Drake but he got Cole to submit a verse the night before it dropped. Pretty cool story actually. This is from Cole talking about how it came to be:

On another note I'm starting to think that overall, NWTS era > TC era.
