- J. Cole’s 2014 fan favorite track, “No Role Modelz,” is the highest-charting song from '2014 Forest Hills Drive,' peaking at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. Produced by Cole and Phonix Beats, it features an interpolation of Project Pat’s 2001 hit, “Don’t Save Her,” and was certified Platinum in 2016. On the track, the North Carolina rapper touches on his negative relationship with father figures, and uses Hollywood actresses as examples of the type of women he covets.

Hi! We know J. Cole has a son, but to clarify, in this case the track is written from the fictional perspective of a man talking about his daughter.
Thank you for the correction
yea cause i was perplexed for a min

Born sinner? Best album todate
he also has a daughter i'm pretty sure!
I just need Kendrick and Cole album and I’ll be good
They were working on one but he left the shit and went on tour with drake. I think Kendrick is a good artist but a bad workmate.
That's not a good news brudda
Ezzzy b doubt that’s ever gonna happen now they have two completely different sounds now
Dawwg I don’t think that’s ever gonna happen ! But hey no worries u can always blow the replay button on “black friday”👌🏽
That album is never coming out sorry to say. If it did the planet would be in flames
Classic song you can play for years and never get bored of it
Zaid Soulat BIG FAXXX

Thats the difference between good music and great music. Great music doesn't get old.
REST IN PEACE UNCLE PHIL

Same yo

Goulion brooo I was deadass listening to it too when they uploaded this
SAME BRO
J Cole’s “Jada and Will love” lyric gets more complex every day
I’m sure cole don’t want that Jada and Will love anymore 😂
ENTABLEMENT
It still fits in the paradime that there're no role models, like Jada and Will, ironically proves that there're no role models
New single
Entanglements
fr
Especially not now 😂
Whenever I hear someone say “first thing first” I automatically say “Rest in peace Uncle Phil”
Ommmmmmg. Goosebumps
For real
Either that or "first things first, im the realist "
frr
Lmao nice one
Nobody:
J Cole fans: Did you know forest hills drive went double platinum with no features.
Triple

@@someguy315 Kanye
@@respectfullyconfused3458 Ok I respect kanyes work uptil MBDTF but everything after that is trash. Also Kendrick is much more complex, deep, metaphorical and conceptual than kanye
This funniest coincidence about this was i was watching the fresh prince of bel air moments on TH-cam
Bobby shmurdas Hat I was listening to no role models lol
Bro, same 💯
J COLE DOESNT HAVE A DAUGHTER!! The majority of 4 your eyez only is written from a fictional perspective based on friends of Cole. He just recently had a son tho.
Can’t believe a website about interpreting lyrics got this wrong
James Flaum for real tho cmon now genius
No no no its the fictional perspective of him having a daughter
Read the description box it says fictional daughter lol.
James Flaum the first comment said this
FIRST THINGS FIRST, REST IN PEACE UNCLE PHIL
For real
I get my bitch pregnant imma be a better you
Prophecies that I made way back in the Ville
fulfilled
My dad looks like he's uncle Phil's identical twin
Anyone else still bumping *Rodeo* and *2014 Forest Hills Drive* albums🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me
Oh my dis side
Of course
90210🔥
@@bm2_852 oh my dis side still goes hard. The first 2 mins is godly
J Cole needs a movie
Luc facts!
Not yet
There’s documentaries by dreamville
Da1 King0fWakanda you’re right but In general they better make him a movie some day
“That jada and will love” hits differently now
To be fair they been had rumors about being swingers 💀
Just like Will 😆
I actually had an uncle named Phil who at the time had just passed away from cancer. A week or so later my friend and I were hanging out and he played this song. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not but I heard the first verse and I was like “what?”
So many years later and the song still bangs💯💣
J.cole , Em and kendrick lamar are the best rappers alive🐐
nas
@Randy Coss You butt hurt son? but I believe Kendrick is The GOAT, and em is too Overhyped.
K O consider yourself lucky to be behind a computer screen everyday
@@KO-mu9nn kendrick overrated
Randy Coss why not? It’s an opinion... lmao let the dude live bruh
no role modelz is one of the best songs in 2014 Forest Hills Drive no cap
Of course
The best song, closely followed by GOMD, ATOTC and Wet Dreams
Also Wet Dreamz
And tale of two cities
He already said A tale of two citiez
This will be remembered as a classic in 10+ years
Lmao your stupid, this song is already a classic.
First things first Rest In Peace Uncle Phil
For real
you the only father that i ever knew
Prophecies that I made way back in the ville
fulfilled
listen even back when we was broke my team ill
This was an instant classic. As soon as I listened to it I knew I'll be playing it for years.
J Cole Is Da Real Genius.
Press Read More
I know this is like alot of comments but press like to pay homage to Uncle Phil R.I.P
For real
F
Oh yeah yeah
Dude F for him but this is so weak
If you really cared you wouldn't be begging for likes and let the man rest!!! 😤😡😠
@@mr.stepbro6422 also if your really trying to pay homage why are trying to bring negativity to something like this?
Legitimately one of the best rap songs of the new millennium. Seriously, I'm a straight-up hater ass old head, but I can even see the Brilliance in this one. This is classic
Lmao
All time classic!!
No Role Modelz Was The Beat Thing J Cole Has Released don’t @ me. But work out has a special place in my heart. BUT DAMN IT FEELS LIKE THE OTHER DAY 2014 FOREST HILLS DRIVE released the other day.
You mad dumb when Born Sinner exists
You’re a new fan aren’t you? Lol
One of my all time favs.. literally the best song I can play for a really long time and not get bored.. idkh
One of my favorite Cole songs of all time. Up there with Lost Ones, Crooked Smile etc.
Song is LEGENDARY
they made like 5 videos off this already
Ahhhh freshman year throwback
The song is so Iconic, it will never get old
THANK YOU FOR THIS
greatest song ever
If you really think about it, there’s so much behind this song. So many different meanings. Legendary
You have nooooooo clue how long I’ve been waiting for this OMM
Bro this is the song I got into j Cole 4 years ago when I was in 4th grade I listened to that song all day
This one will be a classic for this generation
Truly A Hip-hop Classic. 🔥
I love me some J. Cole. He flies under the radar while still making a statement 👌🏼
yesss!!! thank you for this!
Everything J Cole puts out is a banger
*Forest Hill Drive is by far the best album of R&B I ever heard the lyrics and the music*
This is my fav artist
My favourite song from Cole
One of my favourite rap songs EVER
“ FIRST THINGS FIRST , REST IN PEACE UNCLE PHIL ! “❤️
Favorite song.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG
Fun fact.. The legendary scene in fresh prince of Bel Air Will wasn't acting he really broke down.. Thus since it was real they just improvised
Ok, but am I the only one who thinks She’s mine part 2 is just about James’s daughter? I mean, I understood the album as a story about James
Sam exactly
‘we are here today to celebrate the life of James Bond junior’ 😞
Yeah dude. J Cole don’t have a daughter. That whole album was for James daughter. Genius don’t know what the fuck they talking about
And Cole actually has a son
@@jacksonphillips32 it’s a fictional perspective
Still love this song
Thanks for this video, Genius, understanding all the references really deepens my appreciation for one of my favorite rappers🙌
Who gets crazy nostalgia from this song
I always loved this song👌🏽😶❤️

J Cole's best song to this date! And one of the best hip hop songs of all time!
No Role Modelz will be able to seam itself into further generations. This song is a classic.
J Cole is the best artist of all time
0:45 this is also a reference to that father scene of Fresh Prince where Will was saying that he will marry a beautiful honey without him, have a whole bunch of kids and be a better father than he ever was without him
🤔....I think that's what he fv3cking explained
@@soupdiego4646 he only explained half of it, there are two distinct references in that line
This. Song. Never. Gets. Old.
This will always be my favorite Cole song
