I appreciate the opportunity, thank you all. 💛💡 (also, juice wasn’t mentioned because they didn’t ask any questions about him. I would’ve loved to speak about some memories, but I’ll save those stories for another time)

Hello

It is a movie my friend
His story is so interesting, proud of bro he really on the top
th-cam.com/video/CrF1SKsYd1w/w-d-xo.html
He’s on top because he sold his soul
th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
Don’t listen to these mf’s, Cole is a solid dude and worked hard. People like you an me know what’s up.
@@dagovermeersch793 hope you get better soon
This man’s a real life inspiration💯
🔥 th-cam.com/video/VT03ydCCC9I/w-d-xo.html 🔥
I think it his home B/c we’ve seen his development if not the beginning
Satan worshiper that sold his soul?? naah bro
@@AustinNovel facts bro my dad dead an my mom sick, i really think mom paid for that dude to make a whole website for him 🤣🤣
Remember mamma had 3 fuckin jobs
The way Cole talks about his dad is the most mature thing I ever heard in my life, Cole really deserves to win it all
I got to be real, that intro bit broke my heart a little bit 🙏🙏 really love this dude, so much more than excited to see what he does next 💯❤️🔥
Famous Dex deserves his flowers...just saying you're real AF for giving him his credit

Exaclty bro he was the one who helped popped off lyrical lemonade when he was about to blow up in 2017 bruh

Awww mann goddammmm
Kid wanted to see the music video an hour after recording it he’s a scrub
Let’s talk about his character how he’s achieved so much and is still so humble. Unreal. Unmatched
You cant hate this man. It is impossible
th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
I’ve always been a fan but didn’t know Coles story. This young man knows pain , loss , & struggle and that’s what makes him relatable to people that came from “ the bottom” , he came from the bottom as well. He doesn’t have to try to be someone that he isn’t to fit in & get love, he just IS. It’s genuine, it’s pure, he’s never tried to hard. This interview opened my eyes because of my ignorance I saw Cole as a good looking white kid living his dream & just assumed he came from money. Boy was I wrong.. This taught me a lesson, Never judge a book by its cover or assume about someone because of how they appear. Cole , you are a Legend, a Genius, & in inspiration to us that know what it’s like to go without & take losses the average person couldn’t handle. You have become the Hype Williams or “ X “ of this generation. A true visionary.. Never stop! I wish you all the success & blessings humanly possible. S/O to your mom also, she’s an Incredible woman and was a Great example for you growing up to become the man you are today! 💯🙌🏼❤️💕
th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
I'm so proud of you for admitting your a racist. Atlesst you opened your eyes this yime
Just try to not to make assumptions about people based on their skin color in the future. I believe in you
@@pepperingpeterfrizzle8046 😂
Cole is so inspirational man, you really can do anything you set your mind to
th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
The amount of people this man has inspired and will continue to inspire is truly insane.
same to you bro !
This interview is seriously one of the best things I've seen on Complex.
HUMILITY CAN TAKE YOU A LONG WAY - LOVE THAT HE CHOOSES THE JOY AND THE DREAM OVER THE MONEY. LOVE YOU COLE THANKS FOR BEING YOU.
Love Cole he’s gonna be remembered for a long time for sure he’s a creative genius
Dude branded himself, set realistic, attainable goals with a good motive. He took a lot of gambles, and they worked out! Kudos, love the name and am gonna look into merch!!
My mother passed away when I was 8 and it really touched me how Cole spoke of his mom. You could hear how proud he was of her and I love that. Shout-out to you Cole, very happy for you and all your success.
th-cam.com/video/99OIWM54BNI/w-d-xo.html👀
cole needs his own movie about his life. that would be insane
i’m all here for that
No he doesn’t , save those movies for war hero’s
Man deserves everything he’s achieved, even Sommer Ray. Humble GOAT

I remember selling this kid a tuxedo about a year or two ago when he was heading to some Michael Jordan event.. super sweet dude, humble af.. we chopped it up, great kid..
Easily the most motivational video I’ve seen this year. Coles a goat. Can’t wait to get to that point💛
Extremely humble guy, nothing but success for you cole 🤟🏼
What a guy. Absolute respect for you my man
Its crazy cause I actually believe cole Bennett when he says he doesn’t care about money, he just seems like the kind of guy that just loves what he does. When it’s all said and done he’ll be a legend
I’m happy dex got his flowers💐
Hello
Dude mentioned every person that did something for him on the way up. Gotta root for him
All the rappers actually love cole like a real brother as well, they’re so humble towards him
Lyrical Lemonade really influenced me in the past few years. It has always been an inspiration and was such a blast to watch the movement grow. I'm so proud of Cole and what he accomplished even though i don't know him in person. So, thank you! Stunning story and very nice video Complex🔥👍
How can you not love Cole Bennett he’s an inspiration to all young creatives✨
Great video. I notice a lot of artists that succeed at a young age have full support from their family. Cole's mom wasn't trashing the idea of him being in music and being an artist. She thought of the damn name Lyrical Lemonade! Artists who are pushed into more mundane careers will usually fail at them because they are pretending to be something they aren't. Parents should learn form Cole's story. Embrace who your children are and help them in any way that you can to achieve their goals.
Man fr tho. Best comment on here
Amen very well said!!!!!!!!!!!
Lyrical lemonade is a reason why I started editing myself, I discovered my only hobby because of cole, I love him so much, I even got a copycat profile picture
I see you lemme leave a sub for ya hope this motivates you to go harder 🔋🫂
That was one of the most inspiring Stories I heard in a long time. Never knew about a few things Cole told us here. And he did it in such a well spoken and admiring way. Truly appreciate him for that, thanks Complex.
I love the way bro carries his self
Cole a living legend one of the only people I see as a genuine inspiration, love u dawg never stop ❤️
Inspiring, bro. Need more people like you. Appreciate the love you are showing the hip hop scene and youth.
As an artist I feel how Famous Dex felt after that video shoot. When it’s 🔥🔥 you know, and that’s all you think about is that DROP! Hopefully this encourages Dex right now 💯💯👊🏾😤
gives me chills... living in chicago 2012 beyond was a surreal experience.. my homie managed Fredo (rip).. thinking back on freestyling with alex or seeing all these shows.. what a fuckin trip... so good to see Cole thriving. Great vid Complex.
What a legend 🔥🔥the things he's done for music and the underground rap scene has been incredible
Such a big movement! Super proud to see the growth!
Cole is a legend
Notice how supportive mom was of his dreams this why having parents who are supportive of you and not just seeing their kids as investment to brag about to other people.
Being from a smaller unknown town also, his story and creativity is so inspiring. Very determined!
thats so similar to my story
I didn't know what thus dude looked like, this is an amazing story. Super inspirational. Thanks so much for sharing
You're late af

He Has A Very Inspirational Story , He has helped me as an artist to push my self to become better
Love the part about Tarantino and knowing ONLY YOU knew what the true vision was for your brand. That resonated with me deep.
So much inspiration I'm a music director nothing like picking up that camera! Salute to him keep shinning and inspiring blessings to whoever reading this 🙏🏾
young directors on the rise 🔥 congrats man 🏆
living legend. crazy how much the music/entertainment industry has changed since he first blew up in 2014/15. appreciate his authenticity and staying true to his brand.
The connection that all of us have with lyrical lemonade and this man right here is so mind blowing.. LL is for the people
Cole's a legend truly deserves to be where he's at 🐐
Cole and Mac have always been my two biggest inspirations for doing what I do and I've wondered for a long time and now that I've found out I'm not surprised that Mac is one of Cole's biggest inspirations as well, makes sense. RIP Mac ❤️& thank you Cole for inspiring me and a lot of people around the world. GOAT ❤️
This man took grinding to another level, good to see it paid off. Stay humble & keep grinding my guy! You're an inspiration!
I wanna be a Denver legend like this boy is a Chicago legend
I watched your Ted Talk and was amazed at how driven and focused you were. I can only hope as an older man than you that I can have only the same drive, in my own music as well as my future ventures.
You can
That was dope! Respect
Seeing myself in you, except you’re what I see when I think about my future. Cole is a true inspiration 🐐
So glad he spoke on Mac. And his story about him growing up and his mom and dad. He seems very humble. Glad I took the time to watch this. I always wondered about the guy behind lyrical lemonade lol.
Love Cole so happy for his success
th-cam.com/video/CrF1SKsYd1w/w-d-xo.html
The way Cole feels about Mac is how I feel about Cole. Thank you Cole
Living LEGEND! Already had a huge amount of respect for him and knowing his story, even more!!🔥
I’ve never been so connected to something I’ve gone to every summer smash and I’ll go to every single one as long as I’m here it truly feels like a family
Cole you have inspired many people these past few years so gg ❤️
Hello
this is so crazy to see, i remember being 15 smoking weed way too high watching hit em with it when it was like 2 weeks old... fucking insane
The inspiration you put in myself and many others is very beautiful. Thank you cole.
Thankyou Cole and Thankyou Mac y'all will forever be a part of me❤️

A Lyrical Lemonade Magazine would be awesome.
You’re such an inspiration. To me and countless others. Much love dude
I’m genuinely happy for him this inspired me to keep trying cause ain’t nothing like living your dream

I was hoping to hear juice wrld get mentioned since he’s in 4 of the top 5 vids on the lyrical lemonade channel
cole your brand and your story really inspired the accession of my visuals and I'm grateful for inspirations like you in my creators journey

*Mac inspired most of my music. So when I found out he passed I just felt weird. Just remember sending a DM I wanted to have him see if I ever got “big” enough lol.*
The fact they brought Faces to all platforms just sparked that inspiration again. The perfect time since I don’t have a home currently, so I can’t make music. Then to watch this interview made me realize I need to really put in effort to make it happen. I still struggle daily (mentally) but I’m trying my best.
Living legend and a big personal inspo with the videos, vlogs, and interviews. Culture. 🤞🏾💎
Dude… amazing, down-to-earth, humble, hard working, innovative…..With the unique ability to prioritize and make the right choices when faced with massive amounts of $$$ dangling in his face… His mother must be soooo friggin proud. What a one-in-a-million individual you are Cole Bennett.. a real inspiration and a real person who gives credit where it’s do and everything…. Damn bro I could go on and on… you deserve everything you’ve gotten and everything coming your way. Thank you for your work, it’s a blessing to all who experience it.
Hope he never sells the company. What you're doing is bringing people together in a fragmented country, bridging the gaps between worlds. America needs that more than ever.
