Watch J. Cole Interview His ‘1985’ Rival Lil Pump

When news first broke about an interview with J. Cole and Lil Pump, the internet didn’t know how to handle it. After Pump’s ‘F*ck J. Cole* track and after J. Cole took (well intentioned) shots at Pump, with his KOD track ‘1985’, fans wouldn’t expect to catch the two in the same room, none the less on good terms.

Fast forward days later, the two both performed at Miami’s Rolling Loud Music Festival, where footage leaked of Lil Pump dancing side stage to J. Cole during his ‘1985’ performance. Was it a troll? Where the two on good terms? No one knew.

And now the two have set their musical differences aside, as J. Cole and Lil Pump sat down to interview each other and have an hour-long conversation about music. The two may not have a lot of cross over in their fan bases, but the interview is a must watch.

Watch J. Cole and Lil Pump’s interview below.

BY TER STAFF

We shouldn’t really need to spell out reasons of why you need to attend Rolling Loud this year, the stacked lineup practically sells itself, but we’re going to anyways.

Not only is the rap music festival in Miami arguably the best music festival of the year (for a second straight year), but fans will have opportunities to hear a bunch of exclusive performances for the first time. From La Flame to Postey and more, you can expect a number of artists to make some live debuts at Rolling Loud.

Check out our list of our five reasons you can’t miss Rolling Loud 2018 below.

It’s the best festival lineup of the year

Let’s be real, for the second straight year, Rolling Loud’s Miami festival has the best lineup of all music festivals. Perhaps even the greatest rap festival lineup of all-time, this year’s lineup boasts performances from Future, J. Cole, Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, N.E.R.D., Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Post Malone, Russ and many more. From Friday to Sunday, start to finish, Rolling Loud has the best rappers in the game right now!

Post Malone is celebrating the release of his brand new album, Beerbongs and Bentleys, and fans will get a chance to hear Post perform the album’s tracks live at Rolling Loud this year. Don’t be surprised if Post Malone makes a number of live performance debuts from the new LP in Miami next month.

New music from Travis Scott?

Travis Scott possibly had the best set at Rolling Loud last year, and you should expect him to deliver the same energy for his performance this year. Anything can happen at the night show, even the debut of new music. Travis Scott told fans on Twitter today that this week is the week that fans eat, which likely means new music. Scott and Kanye West hinted at the release of a brand new collaboration with Lil Uzi Vert, so perhaps La Flame and Uzi will perform the track at Rolling Loud. Wishful thinking!

The undercard is ridiculously good

It’s not just the headliners that make Rolling Loud 2018 so great! A simply review of the festival poster will show you how deep the lineup really is this year. You shouldn’t only be excited for J. Cole and Travis Scott, you also need to get excited for Smino, Jaden Smith, Juvenile, Bas, Lil Xan, Wifisfuneral and J.I.D. to name a few.

Be one of the first to hear KOD live

J. Cole just released his new record breaking album, KOD, and it’s an instant fan favorite. Cole’s loyal fan base will definitely come in waves for Rolling Loud 2018, and Rolling Loud will be Cole’s first U.S. performance since releasing the album. Therefore it will be your first chance to hear the new LP live and in person. Needless to say, you’ll want to be at Rolling Loud in person as J. Cole shuts thing down on Friday night.
