Insecurities kept J.Cole from performing certain songs a while back, he went in depth with his reasoning during an interview: “Some of these songs I never performed until this tour,” J. Cole said. “There was a time I was super insecure about doing these songs because nobody knew ‘em outside of the internet. You know what I mean? And it’s just funny now to come back five years later and realize that that was all—That all meant nothing. And these shows always remind me every night like ‘Oh shit, they get it. They were living by this.’ And they still do. These kids are the internet. The living, breathing, fuckin’ version of the internet. This tour and a lot of things that I do, a lot of decisions that I made come from a mentality of ‘I know what it’s like to be y’all. And I know what I would want to see.’ And on the other hand, it’s made from a selfish artist standpoint. Like ‘Yo, I just want to perform these songs.’ You know what I mean? So, it’s just as much for me as it is for them.”
