With The Blueprint 3 tour coming to an abrupt close, J.Cole speaks with Honey about his first time on the road. Here’s an exerpt below.

The best part of each night is that I get to come back on stage for Hov’s set and do my verse on “Star is Born.” Performing in front of a packed arena with close to 20,000 people is a rush every time. I never wanna get off the stage. Every night I walk off, I think “Damn, that’s like having sex with the baddest chick, but bustin’ in one minute!” Yea it was fun, but it’s not enough. Seeing Jay’s set every night, I now understand that the only way to get to that level is to have classics and consistent hits. It just adds fuel to my drive.

Peep the latest visual from ol’ blue eyes. Therapy is in session. Have a seat.

According to Rap Godfathers, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, and Ne-Yo’s mammies are poised to launch a new talk show called, Dinner Table Discussions. No word as to where the show will be broadcasted, but the program will focus on the current state of affairs.

In a statement, Pain’s mom Aliyah Najm said, “Our vision is to be a premier talk show that delivers a creative and informative format that assists viewers in educating and solving challenging issues.” She added, “There are situations in our communities, cities, states and even nationwide that people have made us aware of and they want to resolve the issues, but they just don’t know where to get help or how to properly handle certain issues.”
