90's Vibez after 20 years ya'll gonna see j cole, kendrick lamar as we see 2pac and biggie now. maybe when those days comes there will be a movie and i hope it has a happy ending
1:40 for whom the bell tolls 7:40 want you to fly 12:50 ville mentality 18:42 immortal 23:50 neighbors 25:46 she's mine pt2 31:55 change 41:05 4 your eyez only Cole is the realest.
So nobody gone talk about the fact that J. Cole's DAD was in this?!!? Thats monumental! Glad to see they are working on building a relationship that made me so happy
i know i saw that and i was like wtf, scanned the comments to see if anyone else said anything than after a shit ton of scrolling I found you and i was like im not crazy. lol
The lady at the end said "God has me here for a reason" and I believe it's true. She made it on this film. She touched a million people with her story. I don't think Cole running into her was a coincidence...
Her spirit is just so amazing. I had to humble myself and just tell God thank you. In comparison what this lady has been through and is STILL smiling and sweet and joyful?? Man..... eye opening. God bless her and her family.
Cole walk around the hood cause he actually trying to help. He not out here claiming he a certified killa or a ruthless “savage”. Real change come from someone trying to CHANGE their hood, not add to the stereotype
All races need to love each other. I'm just a white dude from the Midwest and even I understand these struggles J Cole raps about and even tho I'm not a member of the black community, when I listen to him I feel like I feel the pain he raps about. That's the artistry of J Cole. He can make a stranger to the community understand the struggles simply by speaking. The key to fixing this nation is first understanding what is wrong that needs to be fixed. It takes all of us. Tomorrow, hold the door for an old lady, tell someone they look nice, say hi to your neighbor. Start small. Make someone smile. Love Thy Neighbor. Much love for everyone in the struggle cause we all got our own struggles.
Konich Puller I knew there would be someone like you to comment lol But white people like me? A white guy who appreciates quality music? I know I'm white, I don't act like I'm not. I was just trying to make a positive comment. It's people like you that can't accept positive words from someone just because of someones race that are the problem.
mrvvinston Thanks man. I just tried to leave a positive message and it's too bad someone had to feel obligated to comment negatively just because of someones race, especially on a video from a rapper who is a voice for better race relations and who's MOM is white. Lol
mrvvinston Agreed bro. Positivity will always prevail over negativity. But negativity is just a part of the internet unfortunately and there will always be trolls trying to break the good people.
5 Years later coming back to this man. Hope that lady got her house done. There's so much of everything in the world, but my heart really goes out to our communities. Wish there was a way to help more. Thank you Cole & Dreamville
I wouldn't think of it that way, it's a documentary man a lot of people don't like documentaries. I mean the one Macklemore did for drug addiction last year was amazing and I believe it's still less than half a million views, but if 1.3Mil people watch this then that's a million people inspired because this was amazing✌🏼
That last woman, good grief. I can't imagine what her life must've been like. Even though she's smiling, there still is hurt in her eyes. But also hope, strength, resilience and faith. I have a lot of respect for that. AND working 3 jobs @ 52. What a great soul. Keep on living ma'am!
Chorrell Piqué see this is God right here . I was just watching that part and looking for someone to mention that and your comment just popped up within a sec. god bless 🙏🏾
Never watched this before...now I understand why fans think he’s the best rapper alive. I am VERY close to agreeing! This was powerful and beautiful candid conversations and cinematography. Loved it so much!
@@BIGproFAN156 It’s a really tough question! Hmmm...it depends on preference in regards to style and technique, but personally I think 💭 Kendrick is the best rapper I’ve ever heard in my life. Flow, cadence, imagery, inflections, melodies, EVERYTHING. Better than any other rapper has ever done it. Jay-Z can’t sing. Biggie stuck to a few topics: women drugs and rags to riches. Cole has amazing stories but are conveyed on questionable beats sometimes. I can’t relate to Eminem’s music half of the time and don’t care for fast rap if the bars aren’t that good. Kendrick can produce music, curate an entire album for a superhero blockbuster, sell out shows and release music with NO promo, make music that divides the fan base yet wins a Pulitzer Prize and 10+ Grammys...there’s no comparison.

Congratulations homie, way to put your family first. I’ll be 9 months sober the 26th of Jan, reason for choosing this path is my family, my father wouldn’t look me in the eyes nor speak to me because he knew I was either drunk at 1pm or slurring my words cus of the opioids I was taking , my mother didn’t want to come to terms with my addiction, in her mind she believed that I was stressed out and going through mental problems. I’m a 30 year old male at a dead end winery job, right now I’m working on my physical ability jogging, push-ups, sit-ups,pull-ups. Reason for that is I plan on registering for CHP (California Highway Patrol) deadline is in April. I made this choice because I need a career not a job, I need a career so that I can take care of my parents, I need a career so that I can give my future unborn children everything I never had. Well sir that’s me, may you and your family have a good and safe 2019. Happy New Year.
I love how the guy at the beginning asked the girl the simple question of, "Who am I?" Change doesn't start with the rich and famous, nor are they obligated to do anything. Nobody is. But we all have choices, and what we as people choose to do with our choices, is what will change the minds of others.
What I realised is that after every conversation that J. Cole has with these distressed communities he has a song that touches on the issues that he was discussing with the people. For me that made me go back to the album and actually listen attentively while I allude his lyrics to what i saw in this documentary in a proper sequence. This is genius.
Cole is just real. He doesn't do anything but stay out of the spotlight and rap about what's real to him. That's why I love him. I understand the boring comments, but sometimes I need to listen to someone who's chill and poetic. He can paint a picture or a scene with his songs that a lot of rappers now a days can't do. He ain't trying to come up with the craziest beats or come up with fake words or rap the fastest, he's just fuckin real. Much love Cole!!! Seeing you in August and I can't wait ❤❤❤
He needed the hits back in 2009 - 2011. After Born Sinner he was already a star. All he really needed was the exposure and now he can just sit back and chill and make great music. He sold 500k the first week without promotion for an album about some real shit. Him and Kendrick have the biggest impact on this generation. Future took months to go Gold. Rick Ross sold 100k the first week. Kendrick sold 610k and Cole 493k. Nothing beats those numbers. Rapping about real stuff & doing numbers >>>>> Typical Rap. Drake is Pop/Rap and he's great but Kendrick and Cole are 100% positive.
the end is really inspiring like the woman is 52 old has a 3 jobs her son was killed her daughter was murdered and she still standing strong , what a true woman like she said " you gotta keep moving" 👌
I liked that part too, her spirit was felt like she would not let death be the thing to hold her down. Her spirit felt like birds flying, it just sored to better things. Amen
Damn that lady at then end been through so much and hasn't let any of break her spirit. She's an inspiration and a reminder to not let the evil of this world break you. Bad things happen to good people but we gotta trust in God and believe He truly loves us all and that life can be more than just pain and sadness. RIP to her son and daughter and God bless her.
It's 2021. This film was taken of TH-cam for roughly 2 years. It's a beautiful as the first time I watched it. Just hearing the bass in 4 your eyez only brings me to tears. Thank you for bringing this back.
I loved how each music video was presented and made.... No Foreign cars... No Fake Women.... No showing off Money... No Beats headphones... No Drugs or liquor... Just Pure Talent and True story's of how J Cole made these songs for his album! ... I'll take quality over quantity any day! Keep doing your thing Cole!
Ezekiel Telemaco thank you. finally someone who finally realizes what j.cole is all bout. i try to explain to ppl all the time, but they just don't reason
this film was refreshing, inspiring and ended well, with a ray of hope that some of us still cling to, trusting in Jesus and that we are here for a reason.
David Machell funny enough, apart from straying from the whole point of the J. Cole video, if Jesus was Black, Indian, Chinese or Russian, people would still treat him the same and His mission wouldn't have changed
Ceejay Films/Fanspine Pictures Real talk. It goes to prove we are ALL the same. Race doesn’t dictate who we are as a people and doesn’t change our mission that we came on this planet to take on.
Have I been living under a rock? Or was I just straight up ignorant? 10 minutes in, this is legendary, beautiful in every aspect. 7 years later this album still hits in my guts, very powerful. :)
Sometimes I find myself dreaming Hella Big, and honestly I scare the shit out of myself too, on how high am aiming, but watching Cole being who he is, it's like seeing hope and light in my future. Thank you Cole. Honestly thank you man.
Lady at the end was speaking straight facts. "So many of us are angry, confused and hurting" . Gotta keep your head up, self reflect, strive for better and keep it moving.
The stories of a regular small town nigga from Fayetville, NC, who went to NYC, graduated college, and somehow manage to get sign by Jay-Z. Went through the highs and lows of fame and somehow manage to stay true to himself and those close to him. You gotta love this man. Jermaine Cole.
Schoolboy, joey, Kendrick, earl, NF, Futuristic, logic I mean I listened to 4 your eyez only but something about it just wasn't catching my attention but now that I watched this I instantly got hooked back so 👌🏼😤👌🏼🔥🔥
Yeah man, I just played this album on vinyl front to back for the first time in 4 years & never knew this doc existed. Definitely puts more perspective onto this project.
Man people are going through so much more shit then me, makes me ashamed to feel bad about some stuff in my life. Stay strong everyone, you can get through it and become the person you were meant to be.
tyler rogers str8 up bro...you are a real one for not only being honest enough with yourself to admit to your faults. Your honesty is helping others who are still in denial about our selfish mentality as human beings! Thank you J.COLE for this Documentary and Thank you Tyler for commenting!
Aye as much as this is fax bro just beacuse some people through some real tough shit does not make your problems any less of a problem you still going through some shit in your own regard stay up broths
I completely agree. I’ve been listening to this man my whole life and never seen this. But just like the other comment says don’t feel your problems are any less. Just let them motivate you to make a change, after watching this imma change the way I help people. You can’t just throw money at things no more. You gotta be there and support others. God loves you.
J cole is legendary. No ads, or anything. Just pure insight on the inspiration behind the music and education for those who don’t walk in the same shoes as him. No other urban artist is doing what he does. That’s why he’s the best!!! ✨✨✨✨
The grandmother at the end really touched me. Although the pain and trauma she been through she looks to god and continues to have such a beautiful spirit and the fact that she didn't even know J Cole.... just blows me away.
U right people hate on anything that great Which is what cole is not just lyrically just as a person theres people i know calling pac, biggie, eminem, nas trash overrated and what the equation here two negatives make a positive the sad truth is anytime your doing something that stand out no matter what profession people add there mix reviews with b s preference based opinions to greats just mean your doing something right
He said all his other shit was basically him trying to show that he's better than this person and that person and now he just wants to make positive music for the people i gotta respect it.
its one of those albums that you have to have a vibe with or else you wont feel the album a mellow album something you could go to sleep to but if your in a really relaxed mode its also well for that
I've loved J. Cole for the longest time like since I was in 9th grade and I never really understood what he was saying in his songs until I became/or tried to become a true fan, going on TH-cam to listening to his old albums, learning the words to truly understand them and etc. what I've learned that he is so into the community and he actually cares and his songs speak out. I'm a fan, because so many things he say I can relate to them and every time I need some uplifting words I find my self listening to J. Cole until I feel better. I'M SO EXCITED TO GO TO HIS CONCERT IN JULY.......
J. cole should have be more popular than he is right now. Bicause he is the real rapper. He is not like others who do it only for money, bitches or fame. The world need more rappers like him.
This makes me cry because I lost my older brother and Dad when I was 11 years old and for the woman at the end to have so much faith in God and just put it all in His hands is amazing. No one ever understands what you're going through because it's a "one man for himself type of world." I know that one day I'll have just as much strength as her to smile like that. I was a daddy's girl and when I lost my dad I lost myself mentally. So I know what it's like to constantly say you have to keep moving on. People eventually stop caring about your sad story, but most people fail to understand that talking about it is a huge way to cope with it. She lost two of her babies, I know it takes everything in her to say keep moving forward. My mom also lost two children and a husband so it is hard. My mom couldn't cope the right way and she completely lost herself mentally and emotionally. She became a drug addict, alcoholic, and she's been diagnosed with schizophrenia for some years now. so seeing this woman be strong for the rest of her babies is life touching. I have eleven siblings that my mom couldn't be strong for because she didn't know good grief at the time, but we're being strong for her and each other. Bless everyone in this video because it's not easy as it looks sometimes. News article on my dad and brother for those who may have been through the same thing or similar to let you know we relate and it's ok not to forget what happened but keep going forward. A little motivation. abc7chicago.com/archive/6304197/ -cole world
Man you speak truth, my ex slept with my ex it still hurts but I tend to talk about to cope with it I can’t just keep it to myself, Ik my problem is not as bad as yours but you say the truth
It's crazy how the lady at the end didn't know he was such a famous person or was humbled enough not to treat him different but I bet if she went home that night and told her kids she met a man named Jermaine/J. Cole, they were probably like WHAAAT. lol i love him and I cant wait to go to his concert in Chicago this July. Who else is going to his concert?
Wait, so Drake is getting all this recognition because he made a 4 minute music video giving away a couple week's worth of supplies to people, but Cole out here actually on the ground in poor communities across the country, helping them out, humbly, and he gets no mention for it? That's the fucked up part about the world. Giving away some $1 million is nice short-term, but what does it achieve?
It doesn't honor J-Cole's contribution to belittle someone else's. Because if someone's life was helped in any substantial way by what you say was the less honorable help, you discredit them, and their lives and the help they needed. These artists don't want or need you to demean someone else in order to honor them. In fact, what would honor J-Cole more is if you went out and tried to do your own version of exactly what he's doing. And nowhere in this video does he talk down to Drake, or ANYONE, whether he agrees with them or not. God speed.
I usually don't write comments but this is definitely the right time to do so. So here I am saying that this film doesn't deserve the current amount of views. It's definitely worth of more views. It should be somewhere higher. Thanks Cole for looking at the world this way.
When I listen to the album like this along with this film it made me realize how good of an album it is this really a classic album, Respect to Cole for trying to bring awareness
I love how their was no clear commentary or structure. He left it up to the viewer to interpret what it means. I think it was beautiful, thought provoking, and showed a real perspective of the black community, not a flawed one portrayed by media and politicians telling us what to believe. Thank you Jermaine.
Still can't fully understand how people don't like Cole as a person. At times I can understand how some people find his music boring. But, hating on him as a person is pathetic. #Dreamville
One of the best ways to hear J Coles music is through these films. Its shows a glimpse into what Cole was seeing and feeling and trying to express in the music. This man isnt just a rapper. He isnt just a storyteller. He is the voice of many. He uses his fame to put a spotlight on the harsher parts of life. Im just humbled and happy that there is someone out there like him. Coleworld.
The lady at the end gave me chills and has definitely made me look at life from a different perspective. She went through all that sadness and pain but she still has a smile on her face. WOW!! Amazing woman right there.
FearTheXI Word bro I'm Mexican as well, and what's sad is that Black people and Brown people are always oppressed by the White man, they set this corrupted system up to watch us destroy ourselves, they put black and brown people together in the same slums watching us fight each other and not realizing that we're falling for their trap, it's sad to see two races that are in the same place not get along, that even my own race shakes their head when I shake partners hand, I have respect for my black brothers because we both share the same struggles, some won't agree with me when I say that we are one in the same, get mad at me if you want to but, what I mean by that is that we are all human, the biggest fear for the system is that one day the see us working together and getting along because together we're strong, and I believe if we work together we can't be denied and push around no more, we have to come together hand and hand willing to oppress to those who oppress us. Just my opinion.
Lived in the ville for 7 years the poverty is very high. A lot of rough areas this documentary definitely took me back. This is nothing short of a masterpiece
Man J Cole you the goat fr smh the lady at the end made me think and contemplate like look at all the shit she's going through and went through and she's shining with life and hope. I'm a 17 y/o who gets moody and feels down cuz of school drama. This shit really affected me God bless her 🙏🏼
Fuckkkkkk man the last lady got me thinking, she seemed so happy and upbeat when I'm sure deep down she's hurting, the world is a cruel place. Hope she's doing good, prayers go out to her and I hope her case goes well 🙏🏽

you can't tell me he's not a legend. you just cant.

J cole is lyrically the best rapper out rn
He is since 2014
He's a legend.
Timeless music

So nobody gone talk about the fact that J. Cole's DAD was in this?!!? Thats monumental! Glad to see they are working on building a relationship that made me so happy
Evan Samuel lol
i know i saw that and i was like wtf, scanned the comments to see if anyone else said anything than after a shit ton of scrolling I found you and i was like im not crazy. lol
Evan Samuel bruh I know right!!! That's Deep bro!!
Evan Samuel I missed it..where was his dad at?
Black Gambit it starts at 38:20
Lady at the end... made me realize i have a lot to be grateful for. almost had me at tears
The lady at the end said "God has me here for a reason" and I believe it's true. She made it on this film. She touched a million people with her story.
I don't think Cole running into her was a coincidence...
absolutely true
I was thinking the exact same thing
Damn
Amen brother this touched me
Just like Mikes Browns cousin running into Cole, none of that can be a coincidence. We're all here for something.
The ending was so deep never take anything or anyone for granted be humble
Drake Sit Down
Be humble
you gotta keep moving
Drake sit down
Her spirit is just so amazing. I had to humble myself and just tell God thank you. In comparison what this lady has been through and is STILL smiling and sweet and joyful?? Man..... eye opening. God bless her and her family.
Cole walk around the hood cause he actually trying to help. He not out here claiming he a certified killa or a ruthless “savage”. Real change come from someone trying to CHANGE their hood, not add to the stereotype
Real talk brah
Leftynineteen I want to ft Cole on this what you think th-cam.com/video/IrLjz_coMr0/w-d-xo.html
I agree with you
For real. He want change. Not violence
Beautiful beautiful compliment

Only 1.3 M views ? Maan, people don't like seeing reality no more. it's a shame.
Great documentary btw

Thats a strong Person Right there.
J. Cole's one of those dudes you can be older than, but still learn mad shit from
DaveDott you can learn shit from anybody no matter the age no man or woman have infinite knowledge
he's a young og
Never watched this before...now I understand why fans think he’s the best rapper alive. I am VERY close to agreeing!
This was powerful and beautiful candid conversations and cinematography. Loved it so much!
😍😍
Exactly j cole makin change through music not just makin music just to make it
Who do you think is the best rapper alive?
@@BIGproFAN156 It’s a really tough question! Hmmm...it depends on preference in regards to style and technique, but personally I think 💭 Kendrick is the best rapper I’ve ever heard in my life. Flow, cadence, imagery, inflections, melodies, EVERYTHING. Better than any other rapper has ever done it. Jay-Z can’t sing. Biggie stuck to a few topics: women drugs and rags to riches. Cole has amazing stories but are conveyed on questionable beats sometimes. I can’t relate to Eminem’s music half of the time and don’t care for fast rap if the bars aren’t that good.
Kendrick can produce music, curate an entire album for a superhero blockbuster, sell out shows and release music with NO promo, make music that divides the fan base yet wins a Pulitzer Prize and 10+ Grammys...there’s no comparison.
Nas is also a good contender for best rapper alive, but he hasn’t impacted me the way Kendrick has. Thanks for the question!
@@doriderrell i see. well singing doesn't actually matter for best rapper, but other than aiding versatility . in terms of "checking the box", Kendrick has it.
Kanye has the strongest discography but kdot has the like everything elsebeaten, from flow, cadence, lyrics, rawness, originality (that works super well)
consistent different
"Everyone is gonna know my name, if I'm lying I'm dying"
Damn... That's actually poetic and really sad
Max Bushmich wouldnt that mean he should be alive? if he lies he dies if people know his name he survives
Max Bushmich it's irony cause it TOOK him dying for all that to be achived
Max Bushmich if its irony then yea it works
this album helped me turn my life around after being an alcoholic. Listening to his wisdom thru his music, made me stay positive about my life & working on myself & being a positive minded father to my son.
thanks J. Cole
Mixed Facez CLE god bless you man
If you accept it of not buy god works through his people and Cole will tell you the same. The lord saved you and you have many more rewards to reap. Follow his word, accept him. God bless you man. God is good
God bless!!
Congratulations homie, way to put your family first.
I’ll be 9 months sober the 26th of Jan, reason for choosing this path is my family, my father wouldn’t look me in the eyes nor speak to me because he knew I was either drunk at 1pm or slurring my words cus of the opioids I was taking , my mother didn’t want to come to terms with my addiction, in her mind she believed that I was stressed out and going through mental problems. I’m a 30 year old male at a dead end winery job, right now I’m working on my physical ability jogging, push-ups, sit-ups,pull-ups. Reason for that is I plan on registering for CHP (California Highway Patrol) deadline is in April.
I made this choice because I need a career not a job, I need a career so that I can take care of my parents, I need a career so that I can give my future unborn children everything I never had.
Well sir that’s me, may you and your family have a good and safe 2019. Happy New Year.
Im proud of you! Im at my crossroads. Your words have strengthen my resolve bro! I appreciate you!🙏💪
Baby: j-jj...j-j...j
Me: he's about to say his first word
Baby: J. Cole went platinum with no features
Kris not once, but twice pleighboi
Bahamian Flux #OKC #242 He went double plat on 2014FHD, and still went plat on 4YEO, both with no features.
Red Dhesi I know that g, that's why I said twice :)
I know that my g

This deserves to be top comment. Who with me?
you never realize how good this album is until you go through some of the pain it entails.
Man.. forreal.
Yall need to stop comparing Cole and Kendrick. They are good in their respective ways.
Kendrick is a musical anarchist, but Cole is a melodic poet.
yo deadass b.
No one could have said that better.
true
Jacquelin Rodriguez yup
"melodic poet" I couldn't have put it better
Thank you for posting this for the people without HBO 🙏🏻
Or TV lol
darkluigi10 you know i got the free trial to watch this when it dropped loll
Appropolar Express I did that for the last HBO special lol
Lol I totally dig it, stay inspired and stay blessed. I hope you change the part of the world the Lord called you to
Facts 🙌🏽
I love how the guy at the beginning asked the girl the simple question of, "Who am I?" Change doesn't start with the rich and famous, nor are they obligated to do anything. Nobody is. But we all have choices, and what we as people choose to do with our choices, is what will change the minds of others.
Amen
Well worded
What I realised is that after every conversation that J. Cole has with these distressed communities he has a song that touches on the issues that he was discussing with the people. For me that made me go back to the album and actually listen attentively while I allude his lyrics to what i saw in this documentary in a proper sequence. This is genius.
I didn't notice this at first
Cole is just real. He doesn't do anything but stay out of the spotlight and rap about what's real to him. That's why I love him. I understand the boring comments, but sometimes I need to listen to someone who's chill and poetic. He can paint a picture or a scene with his songs that a lot of rappers now a days can't do. He ain't trying to come up with the craziest beats or come up with fake words or rap the fastest, he's just fuckin real. Much love Cole!!! Seeing you in August and I can't wait ❤❤❤
Bianca Gabriella me too! Aug 11th for me
nowadays* and I couldn't have said better than you did. A true artist indeed!
He needed the hits back in 2009 - 2011. After Born Sinner he was already a star. All he really needed was the exposure and now he can just sit back and chill and make great music. He sold 500k the first week without promotion for an album about some real shit. Him and Kendrick have the biggest impact on this generation. Future took months to go Gold. Rick Ross sold 100k the first week. Kendrick sold 610k and Cole 493k. Nothing beats those numbers. Rapping about real stuff & doing numbers >>>>> Typical Rap. Drake is Pop/Rap and he's great but Kendrick and Cole are 100% positive.
Lashun Harris What's goin on in August? Is cole touring or just meeting and saying hi to fans?
Matt Courtenay ATL j cole tour
Just Changed My Whole Point Of View Of Life
He's the most normal rich rapper I've ever seen. He's a humble dude and that's good.
Much love from St. Louis, it was major for Cole to put us under the light in this.
the end is really inspiring like the woman is 52 old has a 3 jobs her son was killed her daughter was murdered and she still standing strong , what a true woman like she said " you gotta keep moving" 👌
I´m guessing she´s james daughter... Full circle right there
absolutely beautiful person with amazing skin she's got better skin than me and I'm 19 haha
are you Somalian?
I liked that part too, her spirit was felt like she would not let death be the thing to hold her down. Her spirit felt like birds flying, it just sored to better things. Amen
Mohamed MouSa AMEN...
J. Cole understands how to connect and talk real with people on a spiritual level. He allows other individuals to speak their mind.
Damn that lady at then end been through so much and hasn't let any of break her spirit. She's an inspiration and a reminder to not let the evil of this world break you. Bad things happen to good people but we gotta trust in God and believe He truly loves us all and that life can be more than just pain and sadness. RIP to her son and daughter and God bless her.
David Baudin glory be to god
+StarWars Battle Front . DB h115115
Im here tearing up. People like that are why I havent given up on my own life
David Baudin Fuck god do that shit yourself.
It's 2021.
This film was taken of TH-cam for roughly 2 years.
It's a beautiful as the first time I watched it. Just hearing the bass in 4 your eyez only brings me to tears. Thank you for bringing this back.
I loved how each music video was presented and made.... No Foreign cars... No Fake Women.... No showing off Money... No Beats headphones... No Drugs or liquor... Just Pure Talent and True story's of how J Cole made these songs for his album! ... I'll take quality over quantity any day! Keep doing your thing Cole!
Amen to that.
Ezekiel Telemaco exactly! this is why J.Cole will always be the realist rapper out here.
Ezekiel Telemaco thank you. finally someone who finally realizes what j.cole is all bout. i try to explain to ppl all the time, but they just don't reason
this should be # 1 trending
v2 Thanos that's spot is saved for kendrick
v2 Thanos stfu
NigNig123 L Cole better than Kendrick tho
ImAFK Tho just stop
ImAFK Tho fucking dumbass
this film was refreshing, inspiring and ended well, with a ray of hope that some of us still cling to, trusting in Jesus and that we are here for a reason.
you the type of dude to shit on anybody's vibe. just because you don't believe in his beliefs doesn't mean you have to shut him down homie. stop that
David Machell funny enough, apart from straying from the whole point of the J. Cole video, if Jesus was Black, Indian, Chinese or Russian, people would still treat him the same and His mission wouldn't have changed
Ceejay Films/Fanspine Pictures Real talk. It goes to prove we are ALL the same. Race doesn’t dictate who we are as a people and doesn’t change our mission that we came on this planet to take on.
Ceejay Films/Fanspine Pictures Amen
Ceejay Films/Fanspine Pictures look
Have I been living under a rock? Or was I just straight up ignorant? 10 minutes in, this is legendary, beautiful in every aspect. 7 years later this album still hits in my guts, very powerful. :)
No ads?, J cole a real ass dude
Miko why would he ad it he got enough money anyways
Miko
He's set man, not greedy for money.
It's produced from hbo, nothing on hbo has ads
Jake Johnson now that's an add
Miko Wow didn't notice that
Sometimes I find myself dreaming Hella Big, and honestly I scare the shit out of myself too, on how high am aiming, but watching Cole being who he is, it's like seeing hope and light in my future. Thank you Cole. Honestly thank you man.
Mike Ndaba chase your dreams homie🙌🙏 imma do the same
+Vibez ima do the same this is inspiring to say the least 🙏
Mike Ndaba Dream big man, you have the capability to do anything you put your mind to, I believe in you.
i believe in you too man!!,, everyone should dream big
You too guys, I wish u all the best in your dream chasing moments.... See you on the other side... ☺️
He deserves several GRAMMY'S bye
Fuck the Grammy's sis
Grammy's some bullshit
He doesn’t put his name forward for any award show he makes music for the sake of making music and for his fans
Look now they on the way
Fr
Lady at the end was speaking straight facts. "So many of us are angry, confused and hurting" .
Gotta keep your head up, self reflect, strive for better and keep it moving.
How do you not love this man...Living legend
The stories of a regular small town nigga from Fayetville, NC, who went to NYC, graduated college, and somehow manage to get sign by Jay-Z. Went through the highs and lows of fame and somehow manage to stay true to himself and those close to him.
You gotta love this man.
Jermaine Cole.
MrDD171 check my video out bro it'll mean a lot to me
Wow this made me realize how much I slept on 4 your eyez only
Prodigy775 What was in your playlist then
Schoolboy, joey, Kendrick, earl, NF, Futuristic, logic I mean I listened to 4 your eyez only but something about it just wasn't catching my attention but now that I watched this I instantly got hooked back so 👌🏼😤👌🏼🔥🔥
Prodigy775 same!!!!!
Prodigy775 yeah a lot of people slept on it but I didn't, I want to support j cole as much as possible even just by buying his album
Prodigy775 I swear Bruh💯
This album and documentary aged like fine wine 🐐🐐
Yeah man, I just played this album on vinyl front to back for the first time in 4 years & never knew this doc existed. Definitely puts more perspective onto this project.
Magnum opus project
J Cole " The Prophet ... He's not just a Rapper or a Artist ... His a Role Model & Positive Spirit ! Something I Pray for Frequently
Man people are going through so much more shit then me, makes me ashamed to feel bad about some stuff in my life. Stay strong everyone, you can get through it and become the person you were meant to be.
tyler rogers str8 up bro...you are a real one for not only being honest enough with yourself to admit to your faults. Your honesty is helping others who are still in denial about our selfish mentality as human beings! Thank you J.COLE for this Documentary and Thank you Tyler for commenting!
tyler rogers you a real one
Aye as much as this is fax bro just beacuse some people through some real tough shit does not make your problems any less of a problem you still going through some shit in your own regard stay up broths
tyrogrs Amen 🙏🏼
I completely agree. I’ve been listening to this man my whole life and never seen this. But just like the other comment says don’t feel your problems are any less. Just let them motivate you to make a change, after watching this imma change the way I help people. You can’t just throw money at things no more. You gotta be there and support others. God loves you.
Damn this is the best documentary I've seen in years and brings the album to life in a different perspective.
J cole is legendary. No ads, or anything. Just pure insight on the inspiration behind the music and education for those who don’t walk in the same shoes as him. No other urban artist is doing what he does. That’s why he’s the best!!! ✨✨✨✨
If people can hate on J.Cole. They will hate on almost anything. I wish i could take hate from this world but im afraid im already consumed by it.
Wojo62star If you keep thinking like that, nothing will change.
Mike Honcho I'd say "realist" need to open their 3rd eye.
The grandmother at the end really touched me. Although the pain and trauma she been through she looks to god and continues to have such a beautiful spirit and the fact that she didn't even know J Cole.... just blows me away.
this spreads alot of positive energy idk why people hate on Cole he just wants the best for the people
U right people hate on anything that great Which is what cole is not just lyrically just as a person theres people i know calling pac, biggie, eminem, nas trash overrated and what the equation here two negatives make a positive the sad truth is anytime your doing something that stand out no matter what profession people add there mix reviews with b s preference based opinions to greats just mean your doing something right
Vinsent Hernandez who hates on em thought it was all love wid him
Adrian Lorde Em is trash tho lol
3peace look below your comment u see the hate music is preference based so I use to people s mix review threw opinion
FlyingCustoms don't disrespect a legend like that
"Little things can change your life, a book, a movie, a song " thanks for you changing my life J Cole
I'm happy to be living in the era of J.Cole.
Davitsitsishvili exactly
Davitsitsishvili word up
After being a long time Cole fan I never really messed with the vibe this album gave off but after watching this I might have to reconsider.
Micah Johnson, II True this album wasn't much to my liking and Cole is my favorite rapper but I'll still support and Forever rock with Dreamville
He said all his other shit was basically him trying to show that he's better than this person and that person and now he just wants to make positive music for the people i gotta respect it.
You dont understand nothing about rap...
Leooo Queue 😂😂😂
its one of those albums that you have to have a vibe with or else you wont feel the album a mellow album something you could go to sleep to but if your in a really relaxed mode its also well for that
This was strong. Realest shit I've seen on TH-cam yet. I love how J Cole is so in touch with where he came from, and the people that reside in it.
Greatest thing ever happened to HipHop, Dreamville
Lady at the end really had me tear up for real. Thanks J.Cole, love this!
Yo fo real ! When the beat came back up I got massive goosebumps too..
I've loved J. Cole for the longest time like since I was in 9th grade and I never really understood what he was saying in his songs until I became/or tried to become a true fan, going on TH-cam to listening to his old albums, learning the words to truly understand them and etc. what I've learned that he is so into the community and he actually cares and his songs speak out. I'm a fan, because so many things he say I can relate to them and every time I need some uplifting words I find my self listening to J. Cole until I feel better. I'M SO EXCITED TO GO TO HIS CONCERT IN JULY.......
LaRicka Henderson No Flag u took the words right out my mouth💯 Rs right here!!
This gave me chills and I know that I am here for a reason and I believe in God and universe will heal my pain
J. cole should have be more popular than he is right now. Bicause he is the real rapper. He is not like others who do it only for money, bitches or fame. The world need more rappers like him.
This makes me cry because I lost my older brother and Dad when I was 11 years old and for the woman at the end to have so much faith in God and just put it all in His hands is amazing. No one ever understands what you're going through because it's a "one man for himself type of world." I know that one day I'll have just as much strength as her to smile like that. I was a daddy's girl and when I lost my dad I lost myself mentally. So I know what it's like to constantly say you have to keep moving on. People eventually stop caring about your sad story, but most people fail to understand that talking about it is a huge way to cope with it. She lost two of her babies, I know it takes everything in her to say keep moving forward. My mom also lost two children and a husband so it is hard. My mom couldn't cope the right way and she completely lost herself mentally and emotionally. She became a drug addict, alcoholic, and she's been diagnosed with schizophrenia for some years now. so seeing this woman be strong for the rest of her babies is life touching. I have eleven siblings that my mom couldn't be strong for because she didn't know good grief at the time, but we're being strong for her and each other. Bless everyone in this video because it's not easy as it looks sometimes.
News article on my dad and brother for those who may have been through the same thing or similar to let you know we relate and it's ok not to forget what happened but keep going forward. A little motivation.

-cole world
God bless u
Man you speak truth, my ex slept with my ex it still hurts but I tend to talk about to cope with it I can’t just keep it to myself, Ik my problem is not as bad as yours but you say the truth
Akies damn Akies
Thankyou for sharing your story . Much love to you and may god bless you ❤
Praying for you 🙏🏽
We need more of these :) thank you
welcome to j Cole beatsssssss.com
Busy Works Beats .TV hello and welcome to busyworkbeatsssssssssssssss dot com
Keep spreading the love i got 3 of your programs including music theory appreciate it it was worth every penny
Busy Works Beats .TV you ah Cole fan hahaaha dope!
RainFlop lmaoodjd right😂😂
He is best of this Generation! DEEP. INSIGHTFUL. EMOTIONAL. SOCIAL COMMENTARY. CREATIVE, DOPE ART .
How can someone dislike this? J Cole is too real man, I cant even with this brother.. thanks J.
It's crazy how the lady at the end didn't know he was such a famous person or was humbled enough not to treat him different but I bet if she went home that night and told her kids she met a man named Jermaine/J. Cole, they were probably like WHAAAT. lol i love him and I cant wait to go to his concert in Chicago this July. Who else is going to his concert?
Bianca Reyes
I'll go just to catch a glimpse of your beauty in person.
Daniel Herrera i'm dead 💀
Bianca Reyes ill go with u bby girll hmu
I'm going I'm so excited
Bianca Reyes I'm going!!! Actually probably meet him as well
Love the positivity in the comments section 🙏🏽.
I can really appreciate the album even more after seeing this documentary
Wait, so Drake is getting all this recognition because he made a 4 minute music video giving away a couple week's worth of supplies to people, but Cole out here actually on the ground in poor communities across the country, helping them out, humbly, and he gets no mention for it? That's the fucked up part about the world. Giving away some $1 million is nice short-term, but what does it achieve?
CusWeAre rightttt like I ain’t hear shit about this until now that’s crazy man
They’re both helping as much as they can idiot.
You’re just hating if you ask me
Don’t help people: you’re not doing anything. Help people: you’re not doing enough. Do a lot: you’re doing too much, you have an agenda. Fuck off.
People can only help in ways they know.
Helping is helping fam...
It doesn't honor J-Cole's contribution to belittle someone else's. Because if someone's life was helped in any substantial way by what you say was the less honorable help, you discredit them, and their lives and the help they needed. These artists don't want or need you to demean someone else in order to honor them. In fact, what would honor J-Cole more is if you went out and tried to do your own version of exactly what he's doing. And nowhere in this video does he talk down to Drake, or ANYONE, whether he agrees with them or not. God speed.
I usually don't write comments but this is definitely the right time to do so. So here I am saying that this film doesn't deserve the current amount of views. It's definitely worth of more views. It should be somewhere higher. Thanks Cole for looking at the world this way.
no lies I have watched this at least 5 times today dammm and I think imma watch this again!! 🙌
When I listen to the album like this along with this film it made me realize how good of an album it is this really a classic album, Respect to Cole for trying to bring awareness
Luffy SkyWalker you kids have to stop throwing around the word classic smh
_JC_ STFU
Luffy SkyWalker
classic?? it's not even his best project.....
cole doesn't have a classic yet
Luffy SkyWalker Whoah Whoah, So 2014 Forest Hills Drive isn't a Classic????That was album was a Piece of art. Your sleep my guy.
erwen702 ummmm born sinner
The ending gave me chills man. Thank you God for this amazing project and getting this beautiful message out here.
I love how their was no clear commentary or structure. He left it up to the viewer to interpret what it means. I think it was beautiful, thought provoking, and showed a real perspective of the black community, not a flawed one portrayed by media and politicians telling us what to believe. Thank you Jermaine.
Brant Weckstein couldn't have said it better
I don't understand how you can hate on Cole. I have so much respect for this man.
Still can't fully understand how people don't like Cole as a person. At times I can understand how some people find his music boring. But, hating on him as a person is pathetic. #Dreamville

Fuck others if you like jcole turn up the fucking volume and let others hear u.
Straight up
Watching this back again makes me realize we really could've got music videos for some of these joints. 🤧🤧
J Cole music is the going to live on forever because it servers a never ending meaning to what life represents.. I'm a true Fan of him and his music 💓
wow
J Cole, I fell in love with you before I ever even knew
Deja Vu line
That woman in the end had me tearing up... Wow she spoke to my soul. So many of us are so confused. God has you!!!!!
One of the best ways to hear J Coles music is through these films. Its shows a glimpse into what Cole was seeing and feeling and trying to express in the music. This man isnt just a rapper. He isnt just a storyteller. He is the voice of many. He uses his fame to put a spotlight on the harsher parts of life. Im just humbled and happy that there is someone out there like him. Coleworld.
The lady at the end gave me chills and has definitely made me look at life from a different perspective. She went through all that sadness and pain but she still has a smile on her face. WOW!! Amazing woman right there.
This album really helped me get through a really tough time in my life. Hope your reading this... Thank You!
❤❤❤
full thing on youtube, bless up, thank you.
I'm kabelo motsiri from south Africa and I'm always lookin' up to j.cole he is my role model and this is 1 of the greatest documentary ever.
this video just made me like 4 your eyez only even more
Trash
Higher Up's stfu
Juan youll like it more when this story comes to a conclusion.
watching this make a nigga wanna cry and start a civil rights movement
im finished let's do it then!!!!
im finished I'm with you brotha
I ain't even Black but I feel your struggles as a race! Respect! (Mexican)
FearTheXI Word bro I'm Mexican as well, and what's sad is that Black people and Brown people are always oppressed by the White man, they set this corrupted system up to watch us destroy ourselves, they put black and brown people together in the same slums watching us fight each other and not realizing that we're falling for their trap, it's sad to see two races that are in the same place not get along, that even my own race shakes their head when I shake partners hand, I have respect for my black brothers because we both share the same struggles, some won't agree with me when I say that we are one in the same, get mad at me if you want to but, what I mean by that is that we are all human, the biggest fear for the system is that one day the see us working together and getting along because together we're strong, and I believe if we work together we can't be denied and push around no more, we have to come together hand and hand willing to oppress to those who oppress us. Just my opinion.
Bro took the words out my mouth
J Cole is a cool cat. I spotted him in NY marching. He won my respect. Continue success.
Lived in the ville for 7 years the poverty is very high. A lot of rough areas this documentary definitely took me back. This is nothing short of a masterpiece
JCole will never disappoint me
Man J Cole you the goat fr smh the lady at the end made me think and contemplate like look at all the shit she's going through and went through and she's shining with life and hope. I'm a 17 y/o who gets moody and feels down cuz of school drama. This shit really affected me God bless her 🙏🏼
Fuckkkkkk man the last lady got me thinking, she seemed so happy and upbeat when I'm sure deep down she's hurting, the world is a cruel place. Hope she's doing good, prayers go out to her and I hope her case goes well 🙏🏽
Dean man this world is a cold place shit crazy🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 prayers goes out to her
One of the most beautiful things I've seen.
Not a chain or dollar in sight
Jayson Jackson he don’t need it that’s why I feel like he’s so different from these now rappers
"You can dream but don't neglect the execution....".... Enough said .
