It's great to see how far J.Cole has come, I'm 28 and back when i was 17 and early 20s his music felt so personal and relatable to me, forever grateful.
J.Cole is the best. I listen to him IN THE MORNING and anytime I feel Im LOSING MY BALANCE. He helpS me through all my PROBLEMS and every time I listen to him he SHOW ME SOMETHING diffrent.IT WONT BE LONG until his new album comes out. 9/27/11 the music industry wil be taken to a way HIGHER level. I REALLY MEAN IT when I say I love him like a BEST FRIEND.:)
+Joey Snow1 tbh Cole my favorite rapper and i think him and kendrick on bout same level on storytellin depending on what songs you comparing... lyrically i think kendrick a lil better
When people say Kendrick a better story teller 😂 Cole literally will tell 3 different stories in 1 song. Different story every Verse. Huh? Cole is Better 👑
Ssematimba Allan you are being so nonsensical, you don't have to be perfect to judge. If a judge stole a lollipop in fifth grade vs a guy killed someone, the judge can judge the fuck outta him. Or are you OK with criminals in the streets because no judge is perfect?
"Tell me why my hands start sweating and I hold my breath, every time that you get behind me. I turn my music down so you won't hear a sound, man I'm nervous like I got a couple pounds on me. You pulled me over, you frown on me, with your flashlight tell me what do you see? Thug niggas, drug dealers? It's a trip, every nigga in this whip got a mfckn college degree."
"Dear Mr. Policeman, Hey am I wrong or ain't you suppose to keep the peace, man?" Lately there has been a lot of stories in the news of policemen abusing and even killing innocent people. Sad shit.
NinoRobben 45 dude wtf... many Mexican PoPo are bought by the cartels before they even graduate police academy or whatever....they fucking orchestrate and watch over deals
I get chills thinking how J Cole will be when he gets to his peak... in comparison to Kanye West , he is currently on "Late registration-level" in terms of publicity and exposure. The "Graduation-level" J Cole will SERIOUSLY be something else... him and k.dot are the closest we can ever get to great Hip-Hop Legends (2pac, Biggie, Nas, Em and Hov)
What Does Jermaine Cole have to do so that you will put him above Pac? Honestly, without disrespecting you, I have to say to me Cole is already greater. Listen to Pac's & Cole's lyrics, compare them and with an unbiased mind tell me who truly kills through lyricism . Pac was immortalized thru his death and although he was great I can think of a dozen rappers that are better and ironically most of them are from his era. Even before his death he was not the best so I refuse to put him in my top 5 when I've listened to MC's like KRS1, Guru, Nas, Rakim, Doom, Deltron, Mos Def, Andre3K, & Hieroglyphics. Go ahead fellas fire back with your opinions :)
KrisJake1 While I do not believe j cole is anywhere near pac's level, I would definitely say he and others of his era are idolized beyond their skill. Honestly I would agree that KRS, Doom, deltron, and mos def are better than pac, and to that list I would ass E 40, big pun, del the funkee homosapien, ice cube, Kendrick lamar, Murs, Tonedeff, and probably some others.
KrisJake1 YOU CANT SAY SOMEONE IS BETTER THEN THE PERSON THEY LEARNED FROM J COLE LEARNED FROM NAS AND PAC J COLE IS TALENTED BUT U CANT SAY HE BETTER THEN PAC THATS LIKE SAYING KOBE OR LEBRON IS BETTER THEN JORDAN
Chase Freeman I just wanted to find the right place to respond to old, old comments because.I love being as incorrect as possible in the face of correctness.
Damn I cant even explain how much Im willing to stand up for the messages J cole is sharing. This is all 100% truth. I just wanna start a movement towards the whole system.
Every song is literally so creative and detailed a goat since he started been here and will always be thankyou jcole love you man and I don't even know you
I just heard this song today as soon as I woke up and I'm just like this still speaks on the things we see today but J.coles like an alarm clock with this one
Who told you he isn't mainstream? 2 gold albums a platnium album platnium singles constantly on the radio sold our tours both national and international is pretty mainstream
I remember when I first heard this track, and I still remember when I first heard 2face, Premeditated Murder, Blow Up and Cheer Up.. ..this guy just keeps on growing, and I love it.
This is literally a candidate for best hip hop song of all time low key as hell, this shit isn’t on Apple Music or Spotify and that’s actually kind of a shame everyone should know this
i like all cole songs just because a legend of rap says its bad doesnt really mean its that bad but Nas likes songs that come from the heart not the brain but when the brain and heart work together they make masterpiece music like this
[Verse 1] Dear Mrs. Bill Collector I know you just doing your job Don’t mean to disrespect you But we’ve been going through this thing since way back I told you when I get the dough I would pay back But I got problems baby yeah if you only knew I got bigger problems baby, yeah, hey So why you talking about the money that I owe Like as if I didn’t know man It don’t mean nothing to me Cause right now I got my little boy crying And my grandmother dying Could you please stop fucking with me Listen here, I ain't looking for no tears But my brother got a year And my Momma keep smoking that shit On top of that, I’m broke Please put that in your notes For the next one to call me up talking that shit And then ahana... [Verse 2] Hey Dear, Mr. Policeman Ay am I wrong, ain't you suppose to keep the peace man? I coulda swore that I was driving pretty peaceful So why the hell is you pulling over me fo'? Is it this black Mercedes? Oh naw I get it, I get it, I get it Or cause I’m Black, hmmm maybe? Yeah, hey, tell me why my hands start sweating And I hold my breath every time that you get behind me I turn my music down so you won’t hear a sound Man I’m nervous like I got a couple pounds on me You pulled me over, you frown on me With your flashlight, tell me what do you see Thug niggas, drug dealers, it's a trip Every nigga in this whip gotta motherfucking college degree And then ahana... unh [Verse 3] Yeah, my middle finger to the law I'm busting off, tryna touch the sky My teacher said impossible but I’mma fucking try Plus how he gon’ tell me, he don't make the rules There’s niggas dying every day man we don’t make the news Instead they talking bout some thunderstorm, cyclones Timmy got his bike stole Top story: Tiger Woods be fucking all these White hoes Anchorman stop snitching Cut to commercial, he be texting all his side bitches Hey my goodness, how ironic On trial for possession of some chronic My lawyer came to court, man he was higher than a comet Hey your honor, is you kidding How you sit above me Are you perfect motherfucker How you finna judge me? When you home you don't cuss, drink and puff like us? These cops is bad boys, baby just like Puff They hate they jobs and they days be fucked up like us At the end of the day you niggas just like us You niggas just like us
There are no bad J Cole songs
nufcdan1 now ain't that the truth!
nufcdan1 Work out - J Cole
+jdollar1 work out wasnt a bad song
Jonathon Lee
It was. Even Nas agreed saying "Why'd he make that shit?". Which led to J Cole's song "let nas down".
+jdollar1 You just think it's a bad song because Nas thinks so xD
It's great to see how far J.Cole has come, I'm 28 and back when i was 17 and early 20s his music felt so personal and relatable to me, forever grateful.
Damn straight bruv
I’m 28 too & I feel this wholeheartedly.

Kendrick does that better
+Joey Snow1 tbh Cole my favorite rapper and i think him and kendrick on bout same level on storytellin depending on what songs you comparing... lyrically i think kendrick a lil better
+Joey Snow1 Bro have you listened to tpab and Gkmc

It's crazy how I react to his songs and lyrics .......just like listening to a story amazing
marri please
tf^?
it really is a story. I love it
I have much faith in this guy. He could be the one that takes hip hop to its old glory.
You were right 👍
This comment aged so well 👏👏
12 years later,,, hope you still around to witness, what you said back then
When people say Kendrick a better story teller 😂 Cole literally will tell 3 different stories in 1 song. Different story every Verse. Huh? Cole is Better 👑
I agree with you but Kendrick literally did that too in Sing about me
"Hey your honor, is you kidding? How you sit above me?
Are you perfect mothafucker? How you finna judge me?"
.
*DAMN!*
He probably went to law school
Why Judge a fellow man, yet you yourself aren't perfect.
Ssematimba Allan judges don't have to be perfect to judge, if that was the case criminals eould just run wild. Your logic is so screwed
Why are u judging me, yet you aint perfect?
Ssematimba Allan you are being so nonsensical, you don't have to be perfect to judge. If a judge stole a lollipop in fifth grade vs a guy killed someone, the judge can judge the fuck outta him. Or are you OK with criminals in the streets because no judge is perfect?

"Hey, Dear Mr. Policeman, Hey am I wrong, ain't you supposed to keep the peace man?"... J. (The Truth) Cole.
the only artist today that gives me chills. lyrics too real. im buying his album and might just buy all my family a copy for christmas
2016 and still a banger.
J. Cole = Timeless music
I been on this shit way before the views and the radio.. he still is slept on but at least the bulk of his music is no longer underground.
I feel ya I watched this with only a few hundred thousand veiws
I’ve been rocking with Cole since he leaked his mixtape!!! I looooovvveee him!!!
I remember when this song had like 500k views for like 5 years. Then he blew up. Love to see it man.
His best song ever. Hands down. So much soul. So much realness
It’s 2021 and this is still on top of my favorite list 🔥
This is dope 👌🏻 only found it today, where's this been at
brenden cosoleto Where YOU been at??
brenden cosoleto I will pray for your music brings joy j Cole has so.manny like this and other stuff
brenden cosoleto yea look up more of J Cole, he's a talented dude.
2020 and this song is still relevant , what can u say cole's a king
That last verse was the best verse ive ever heard in my life
lol.. cole too far for the weak minded man!
listen to the verse I just spit at my friend
"booty booty booty with a little bit of titty. Ramma bamma jamma run the fucken city."
Damn I cant even explain how much Im willing to stand up for the messages J cole is sharing. This is all 100% truth. I just wanna start a movement towards the whole system.
TheAmir Amir We all do
then do it
TheAmir Amir be a business owner . Give people jobs who society looks down on . Let everyone have a chance
thats actually my plan. provide a service to people who need it and are willing to work for
Listening to old J. Cole songs just makes me love him more.
talkin' bout the money that I owe, like as if I didn't know... life right there!
Every song is literally so creative and detailed a goat since he started been here and will always be thankyou jcole love you man and I don't even know you
One of his deepest & most slept on songs.
Still here in 2020, first song I've ever heard from Cole when it came out in 2010. What a ride
Also Happy Birthday Legend
SALUTE
Jan. 8 th 2022. Still one of my fave songs
lmao timmy got his bike stolen, that shit makes me laugh everytime
Nobody making songs like Cole, the GOAT of this and all generations.
STILL A FAVORITE. PRECIATE YOU BIG BRO
Cole should not have any dislikes on any of his songs, pure poetry that I can relate too so well... Puts me to tears, God bless this man
J Cole is one of the GOAT
2020 Im here trying to remember the good old years
Anyone listening in 2019. Jermaine will always be the goat :)
Notice the simplicity of the beat
And the reality of the flow
Just randomly popped in my head. Had to come back for this classic 👌🏿👌🏿
cole world
I just heard this song today as soon as I woke up and I'm just like this still speaks on the things we see today but J.coles like an alarm clock with this one
And it's 2020 he is getting more wiser.
2021
To me J.Cole is like a Slick Rick and Tupac blend. The reason he isn't mainstream is because he speaks truth. His rhymes make you think..
Who told you he isn't mainstream? 2 gold albums a platnium album platnium singles constantly on the radio sold our tours both national and international is pretty mainstream
J.Cole is mainstream but isn't a mainstream rapper if that makes sense
shoot210 the mediator breaks it down haha touche'
lil whatever fans can't relate to songs that are actually SAYING something lmaooo
This will always be my shit
I'm high asf listening to how great this song is... I never knew he was this talented
first song i heard from cole
hands down up there with the best lyrical songs ive heard .
Lost Ones - J Cole
Love Yourz too
2face
dam back here after all of these years.... song still hits.
2021 - crazy to think how life has changed since 2010. Still love this man's music though. #ColeWorld
this song was before its time, it would be number one for sure right now..
Who’s here in 2019?
Shaah iyo Sheeko real j.cole fans
2024 ❤
Love this song
Cole the greatest👏🔥
My favorite J Cole song. Still listening to it in 2021
This song is awesome. Hope J gon put more beats like this in his songs!
This song is such a bop
I remember when I first heard this track, and I still remember when I first heard 2face, Premeditated Murder, Blow Up and Cheer Up..
..this guy just keeps on growing, and I love it.
fuck man, times goes by so fucking fast. Good ol' highschool days
never listened to J. Cole's old songs but man am I glad I did
First j Cole song I heard!!! Back in 2010!! GodDamn us all!!!
This the unfinished version but still relevant in 2020 “I can’t take this S@!t Anymore”✊🏾
cole is like the hybrid of nas/ jay z / kanye/ tupac.. tell me not
lol... no. Cole is like cole.
Rick Jam esBitch check out my tracks and like
He uses some pac flow and lines.
Trevor B kanye is awful. i agree with nas and pac
Trevor B um no kanye, the rest I agree but kanye no
This song is as relavent today as it was 10 years ago
Been bumping this lately
2020 and still great.
I love how the tune is so upbeat, but the lyrics are way different.
he is the GOAT
This is literally a candidate for best hip hop song of all time low key as hell, this shit isn’t on Apple Music or Spotify and that’s actually kind of a shame everyone should know this
one of his best. i’ve never gotten tired of this song and never will 💯
damn man 12 years ago..
Still such a good song
Cole tha sickest
December 2015 still bumpin this
+Connor McDermott I will forever stay listening :)
"Is it this black mercedes?, oh no i get, i get it; cuz im black hmm maybe?" lol fucking sick! i love this song! Cole World!!
Love this. J. Cole's music is pure genius.
Love ConquersAll It sure is
Man I remember this was the first song I heard of j.cole back in 2012 and instantly fell in love... 🔥🐐
J.Cole is my favourite rapper, it used to be Kanye but he doesn't seem to keep it real no more.
J. Cole aint better than pac yet... Give him time and just watch ;) but really he is probably one of the most realest rapper ever to be heard....
Who's still listening to this in 2017?
Me 😭😭🙏🏽🔥
2018
im listenin to this shit in 2018 bro
2019
So relevant to the topics today. Man j cold you're really a legend
Why am I just hearing this!?!? Dope!!!
Song reminds me of the movie persuit of happiness with will smith
I thought the same lol
*happyness
+jojohnviz12 no, it's happiness
+Kyle Korver it's happyness bitch!
+jojohnviz12 you are dumb as fuck
i like all cole songs just because a legend of rap says its bad doesnt really mean its that bad but Nas likes songs that come from the heart not the brain but when the brain and heart work together they make masterpiece music like this
In 2024 and still sounds ageless
Man has nothing to prove he the best fr
This is what we need to hear to make 2020 even a little better
I really hope J Cole doesn't disappoint. The game could be his for the next 10 years.
10 years later… and yup he absolutely crushed the past decade haha
[Verse 1]
Dear Mrs. Bill Collector
I know you just doing your job
Don’t mean to disrespect you
But we’ve been going through this thing since way back
I told you when I get the dough I would pay back
But I got problems baby yeah if you only knew
I got bigger problems baby, yeah, hey
So why you talking about the money that I owe
Like as if I didn’t know man
It don’t mean nothing to me
Cause right now I got my little boy crying
And my grandmother dying
Could you please stop fucking with me
Listen here, I ain't looking for no tears
But my brother got a year
And my Momma keep smoking that shit
On top of that, I’m broke
Please put that in your notes
For the next one to call me up talking that shit
And then ahana...
[Verse 2]
Hey
Dear, Mr. Policeman
Ay am I wrong, ain't you suppose to keep the peace man?
I coulda swore that I was driving pretty peaceful
So why the hell is you pulling over me fo'?
Is it this black Mercedes?
Oh naw I get it, I get it, I get it
Or cause I’m Black, hmmm maybe?
Yeah, hey, tell me why my hands start sweating
And I hold my breath every time that you get behind me
I turn my music down so you won’t hear a sound
Man I’m nervous like I got a couple pounds on me
You pulled me over, you frown on me
With your flashlight, tell me what do you see
Thug niggas, drug dealers, it's a trip
Every nigga in this whip gotta motherfucking college degree
And then ahana... unh
[Verse 3]
Yeah, my middle finger to the law
I'm busting off, tryna touch the sky
My teacher said impossible but I’mma fucking try
Plus how he gon’ tell me, he don't make the rules
There’s niggas dying every day man we don’t make the news
Instead they talking bout some thunderstorm, cyclones
Timmy got his bike stole
Top story: Tiger Woods be fucking all these White hoes
Anchorman stop snitching
Cut to commercial, he be texting all his side bitches
Hey my goodness, how ironic
On trial for possession of some chronic
My lawyer came to court, man he was higher than a comet
Hey your honor, is you kidding
How you sit above me
Are you perfect motherfucker
How you finna judge me?
When you home you don't cuss, drink and puff like us?
These cops is bad boys, baby just like Puff
They hate they jobs and they days be fucked up like us
At the end of the day you niggas just like us
You niggas just like us
Thank uuuuuu 🎉🎉
How can this piece of art is only 5millions??
Because these idiots on the internet prefer Anaconda and Desiigner.
Anaconda and Panda*
This type of music will never die.❤
Love this song!!!! Such a classic!!!
Can't wait for Logic to link up with Jcole & drop fire
EXACTLY!!!!
Logic? Lmaooooo
Tom Mullenix Logic is overrated.
chonkadonkk Logic???????...... He has to be the only rapper who doesn't live up to his name.
But that kendrick collab though....it's been like 5 yrs since they announced it
