Cole is definitely one of my biggest inspirations. I’ve been watching lyrical lemonade since 2016, and to see his evolution over the past seven years has been a really incredible journey. I’ve been directing music videos since 2020 and hearing the advice he has for filmmakers and creatives motivates me to keep grinding and following my dreams. This is definitely my favorite interview of his, keep up the great work Arshan. Congrats on 100k!
Been following Cole for years now and seeing this too just really nails how hugely inspiring and such a breath of fresh air and down to earth this guy is.
Shout out to KTO and Cole for this. KTO conducted an amazing interview and Cole was willing to open up and give amazing answers. Respect to both of you
KTO always brings a fresh take to interviews, and this one with cole is no exception! The progress of Kidstakeover is impressive asf and its crazy to see what determination and a plan can do. Its refreshing to see content that breaks away from the usual. In an era of basic interviews, this one stands out without a doubt. Keep pushing boundaries, KTO! 👏🔥
I’ll always credit Cole for sparking my interest in taking videography serious. I’ve wanted to shoot MVs, instead doing commercial and wedding work, but i’ve found ways to be creative in those lanes thanks to his unique style and constant innovation. Real ass dude, and same goes for you Arshan and the KTO crew. Inspiring content as always
That first 30 second clip is so true. Being a chef money has never mattered, i absolutely love what im able to do. Its so full filing and i get to share my love through food. Nothing has ever made me happier and its not a job when you love it. I couldn't of asked for more with my life. I got up at 3am to be at work til 4am and work until most midnights without taking my 2 days off each week. Its not work to me. I hope others find that in life. I can't imagine having a job that you hate to wake up to. That almost makes it impossible. Prays to those still on that journey trying to find what they love in life, i hope y'all find it.💯💙💙💙
I literally KNOW that you are both super wise people now that I have been blessed to watch this from my art studio . Sending you guys love and can't wait to see what both of you create in the future . I will keep my eyes on both of you .
Huge interview man, I commented this on the IG post about this too but this interview really does feel like a full circle moment for you. Been watching since that first Pierre interview, and from a fellow brown dude, your content has been consistently inspirational to me. You breaking down years of stigma by doing what you do bro. Sky is the limit
2 creatives in this industry that stay ahead of the curve & never fail to give people their flowers where flowers are due. mad respect to both of them. super insightful, super inspiring. this one of them ones for me.
this interview was amazing & really inspirational, love Arshaan, love Cole, thank you for sharing this with us..this was very much needed.. also nice t-shirt you’re wearing at the end 👀
This is so good, that I can't find words to describe the content and the context of this interview between the two of them. Such a nice conversation that I wish they could go on for at least another hour LOL.. Well done guys!
such a good interview. i loved the 2016-2018 chapter of lyrical lemonade but im more excited for what he has next. i see bigger things for cole and KTO.
Our first look at a KTO interview, the story behind the video that you shared on insta catched us ! Amazing to follow such an adventure like yours with Cole and really inspiring. The final discussion brings us to topic we wanted to heard Cole about, how he handle the losses, how he handle working for free, and still it's inspiring. Good job on this one, keep us updated if u come to Paris, we would love to have a moment ! 🙏
I've been rocking with Cole Bennett since really the beginning the Famous Dex run around video comes to my mind with I think about Lyrical Lemonade I'm glad Cole is winning he definitely has a pure soul!!! 💯
I was just at the LL 10th anniversary show a few nights ago. He brought out so many amazing special guests and you can tell how much all these artists appreciate him. I also realized he is not too big of a person to not appreciate and talk to every single person. This interview confirms it. Also the album intro is a ski song that sample live sheck wes. It’s absolutely amazing
Thank you for this video TKO. This conversation was really awesome from both perspectives and I hope that you continue to make content that influences the next generation!!
enjoyed listening to this a lot! interesting topics to bring up with Cole and loved hearing what he had to say as well. will definitely be tuned in more to your channel
You’re a phenomenal interviewer! I can tell you put a lot of time into brainstorming questions. Lots of people usually avoid doing interviews because they get sick of getting asked the same questions.
Lots of good synergy between you guys as the channels have their similarities. I was happy to see him say he was meaning to call you when you thought about stopping KTO as he could def see what we could all see. Never stop, to you and your crew, it's a great channel and one of my faves covering this industry/world. @@KidsTakeOver
Thank you so much for this, Cole is also my biggest inspiration. I watched the whole interview and was in the primere! Im an up and coming Chicago artist this was very inspiring
Cole you are a goat! From watching your early music vids and til now! WOW you came a long way and I’m glad I have been able to watch mostly all the music vids! Congrats on all the success and much love. This brand and everything about it is amazing. More life9️⃣🍋
