各种笑镇楼
那我发图了1.【As a teenager in Fayetteville, J. Cole was down with a rap duo called Bomm Sheltuh.】
Cole became serious about rapping at age 15 when he hooked up Bomm Sheltuh. The group's members, Nervous Reck and FilthE Ritch, became mentors to Cole and he stayed in touch with them for years.
扣在15岁时对开始说唱认真执着，当时遇上了Bomm Sheltuh。他的说唱团体成员都成为了扣的启蒙老师，至今还有在联系。

【Before calling himself J. Cole, his original rap names were Blaza and then Therapist. 】
When J. Cole first got down with Bomm Sheltuh (as in, Bomb Shelter), he used to go by the rap name Blaza. But they all agreed the name had to go, so he dug through the dictionary and ended up with the name Therapist. However, a name like Therapist was quite problematic during the Myspace era, because when you see a URL like myspace.com/therapist it kinda looks like his name is The Rapist. Arrested Development fans know what we mean. He eventually adopted the moniker J. Cole before dropping The Come Up.
在叫J.cole之前他最初的rap names是Blaza 然后是Therapist。Therapist ，the rapist（强奸犯？）我觉得应该不是吧，像很多词一样加上ist后缀的像scientist，artist，dentist就是从事某一职业的人，我觉得扣是把rap当成他的事业了 所以是the RAPist。再者therapist是心理医生，所以扣是治愈系的？噗哈哈
3.【
J. Cole used to work at a skate rink in Fayetteville where, at times, he had to dress up as a kangaroo, the skating rink's mascot. 】
A lot of J. Cole's everyman appeal comes from the fact that he lived such an average life. Like many of us, he had a series of fairly crappy jobs growing up. As a teenager, he worked at a skating rink where he had to occasionally dress up as a damn kangaroo. And you think your job sucks.
成名之前在Fayetteville的溜冰场工作，要穿成袋鼠一样。所以就不要抱怨你的工作了。
4. 【In his younger years, J. Cole once sported a rat-tail hair style with a "Bobby Brown fade." 】
If you're visualizing that image and think it can't get any worse, trust us it does. After telling GQ UK about his worst haircut, he went on to say, "It was long enough to wrap around my face. I used to chew on the end and bite it." Eww.
年轻的时候有个比较奇葩的发型，就是留了一搓很长细细的头发，像老鼠尾巴一样，长到可以绕到脸，然后自己咬着玩（请自行脑补。。）
5. 【J. Cole started producing on his own at age 15, when his mother got him a $1,300 ASR-X for Christmas. 】
If that $1,300 sounds like a lot of money, it was. Especially considering that Cole's mom was a single mother and she was just a postal worker. In fact, in exchange for the ASR Cole agreed to buy his own clothes for the next year, skip out on getting a birthday present, and had to pay his own way to basketball camp the next summer.
在15岁那年开始自己制作beat，他娘给他买了部价值1300美金的ASR-X作为圣诞礼物（这么有钱？不是单亲么）哈哈，其实有是代价的，下年买衣服，和生日礼物的钱就没有了哦，还要自己为篮球训练营缴费。
6.【J. Cole started rapping at age 12 after seeing his cousin from Louisiana rap. 】
Thanks to Cole's cousin, when he first started rapping he based his flow on Master P and was rhyming words like "soulja" and "doja." It was until later did he start to listen to rappers like Jay-Z and Nas.
12岁那年看了他表哥的rap之后自己开始rap了。
7. 【J. Cole met his long time collaborator Elite through a Canibus message board. 】
Cole was obviously an early adopter to the Internet. He was on Canibus forums back in 1998 which is how he hooked up with producer Elite. At this point, Cole and Elite have been working together for years, including tracks on Born Sinner.
扣在网络留言板上认识了他长期的合作者，制作人Elite，他们已经共事了很多年，包括了Born Sinner的制作。
8. 【J. Cole credits Canibus' first album, Can-I-Bus , for changing his perspective on rap music and his approach to songwriting.】
Cole is truly a Canibus fan. When doing our Wiz Khalifa cover story, we ran into Cole backstage as he and Wiz quizzed each other about who knew more lyrics to Canibus' "100 Bars." Too bad Canibus bizarrely dissed Cole on "J Clone" only to apologize later.
扣买了（不知道credit在这里是什么意思，可能是好评吧之类的。）的Canibus的首专Can-I-Bus，为了交流他们在rap上的想法和观点和作词的方法。扣确实很欣赏Canibus，他曾经在后台和wiz互相考对方谁对100Bars（Canibus的歌）了解更多，但是Canibus在一首叫J.clone的歌上diss了扣，不过不久之后就道歉了。（囧）
9. 【Despite sampling Kanye West's "The New Workout Plan" on his single "Work Out," he considers it the worst song on The College Dropout. 】
Nas might not have been a fan of "Work Out," but it turns out Cole wasn't a fan of his source material, Kanye West's "The New Workout Plan." According to Cole, College Dropout is his favorite Yeezy album but "The New Workout Plan" is the type of song he usually skips. However, hearing it one day just sparked an idea that lead the "Work Out" being made and Nas being disappointed.
即使在Work out里采样了侃爷的The new workout plan，他还是觉得那是侃爷辍学那专里最破的一首歌。辍学是扣最喜欢的一张侃爷的专辑（LZ也很喜欢，大家可以听听扣的last call，完全致敬），但是听到那首歌他会跳掉，可能一听到这首歌就想起自己的work out让Nas 失望了吧。。呵呵。。
10.【 J. Cole was the first-chair violinist for the Terry Sanford Orchestra as a child.】
You can actually catch a clip of Cole playing the violin right here. But we wish we had footage of him playing at the Terry Sanford High School auditorium back in October 26, 1999. Not only did Cole rock out playing the theme songs from "Batman" and "Mission" Impossible" but he also was the first-chair in the orchestra.
扣小时候是Terry Sanford管弦乐队的小提琴前排（就是前排坐的第一个位置，很犀利的意思吧），所以小时候拉小提前很牛X，有看过cole summer的同学应该就看过扣拉小提琴。
