When Jermaine Cole wasn't putting out number one albums like Cole World: The Sideline Story and touring overseas, he was known locally as "Therapist." In a sneak peek of the upcoming MTV "When I Was 17" episode, J. Cole reveals his first rap name and why he got it.

Good thing he went with his gut and didn't let the moniker stick.
