Read what J.Cole had to say in the interview"
On being replaced on the song "Party"
"You know how many verses I did for that song. I did a version of that before her album [4] even came out. I did two verses. I love these verses too, but they ended up going with Andre's verse and Andre Killed it."
On Bey reaching out to him for the remix
"Then she reached out to me and she wanted me to get on the remix. I did two more verses. Out of the second set that I did, she picked the first verse. But my second verse, I just gotta say for the record.. it was just too long, I think she was looking for something shorter and more to the point."
On working with Beyonce
"It's just a blessing to even be able to work with [Beyonce]. I'm on my defensive rapper, like yo man. When you follow in Andre's 3000's shoes, you're expected to really go in. Just the fact to even be on the song with her shoot the video with her and just be in her presence... She's such a hard working, incredible artist. I'll never forget that day we shot the video, I'll never forget being able to be on that song, and hopefully we go t more as time goes on. Shout out to Beyonce."
