Music News
From MTV:
The Atlanta newcomer hit it big last year after he dropped his super-catchy “All Gold Everything” single, but not everyone was a fan initially. “My pops was club hoppin’ back when Rick James was out, and all I get is Trinidad James/ Wait a minute, that’s strange,” Cole rhymes, casting a shadow of doubt on Trinidad before he ultimately concludes: “If the hoes like it, I love it.”
Rappers have been known to feud over less, but not James.
“He was just expressing himself,” he told MTV News on Saturday backstage at Power 106’s Powerhouse concert in Los Angeles. “Just in general if you really step back and listen to the song, he was just spittin’ how he felt and I can’t never be mad at somebody spittin’ how they feel.”
