This is one of J Cole’s greatest feature of all time. J. Cole dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! *a u t h e n t I c v i e w s* dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
My uncle recently passed of cancer and he used to listen to this all the time whenever he would pick me up. This song has a deep place in my heart, I love you unc
J Cole is the True GOAT. J. Cole dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
EAN SMELTSER nah there’s competition. My top 10: Kendrick, j Cole, drake, asap Rocky, Travis Scott, Kanye west, kid cudi, meek mill, logic. If just talking bout lyrics then there’s no competition other than Denzel, joey badass, Jid, logic. Some others I dont really listen for the lyrics anyway.
I was watching a video essay on Candyman, Gone With The Wind, and then Eli Roth's horror series on AMC. The episode was Haunted House movies. And I guess all that shit just fused lol
I was shocked in the first half but literally found myself cheering at the end. J cole's music is mad powerful and i loved every second of this song and video
I don't understand why lightskins think they had the advantage because they were in the house Either your mom or dad was darkskin So when y'all say things like this y'all offended y'all selfs And besides it really doesn't matter b/c every black person was a slave
Jonte Ded he truly is a inspiration, I love his art and his music. He inspired me to create dope art and music, hopefully you can take the time out to check out my channel and sub but its all love, man enjoy dope music
Its like, when you first hear this album, that's all you're doing: Hearing it. Its like "Okay yeah, my nigga back." But if you actually LISTEN to this joint more and more, you start hearing stuff. For example January 28th "Can I make a million dollars off a rap tune?"// A Tale of 2 Citiez "What's the value of a thing?" "Last night, WE pulled up on a nigga at the light like..."//G.O.M.D "Lord will you tell me if I change? I wanna go back to Jermaine." "My nigga done went Hollywood." Lyrics like that, that are kind of hidden, give off a message that turns the entire track upside down for you. Its like every time I hear a song on this record, I learn something new. This man right here? A mastermind. I cant stress enough how even though people claim they love Jermaine, he's STILL the most slept on. And I'm not talking about celebrity status or anything, I'm talking about his material, his flow, his persona. It sickens me when people say their favorite song is "Wet Dreamz" or "Power Trip". Like get the fuck out. No doubt these are great songs, but people so caught up in mainstream hits, that their mind is too clouded to actually take the time out to LISTEN to the words. Society is so fucked up to the point where having puppies in their video is lame, but having 50 naked females, drugs, and booze in the background is dope. Fuck outta here.
+Mizzy I get what you're saying but even those mainstream hits of his are crazy clever. Just look at the music video to Wet Dreamz lol... Don't fall into the very trap you're so eager to preach against. Regardless, there's definitely something on this album for everyone.
I'm honestly not saying these tracks aren't greats. I'd be a hater if I did. But you and I both know that there's many close minded people that don't respect the music and/or lyrics. They just like it because they play it in the club a lot -_- it's frustrating
Lyrics: Hollywood Cole Go Ay Hollywood Hollywood Cole Go You wanna know just where I'm at Well let me tell you 'bout it I put my city on the map But let me tell you 'bout it They tryna say I can't come back Ay let me tell you 'bout it Man fuck them nigga I come back Ay let me tell you 'bout it I wanna tell you 'bout it Hands up, everybody run Cole outside and he say he got a gun Niggas like "man that's what everybody say" Go and pop the trunk and everybody dead Everybody scared of the nigga Aware that the nigga is better All my bitches the pick of the litter Never bitter Niggas is faker than anime Me I never hate, get cake like Anna Mae, woah Eat the cake bitch, eat the damn cake Fuck good nigga we demand great Order Dominoes and she take off all her clothes Nigga you know how it goes, make the pizza man wait The best kept secret Even hoes try and keep it and I leak the damn tape Rest in peace any nigga want beef Even secret service couldn't keep the man safe I said to the window, to the wall My nigga ride when I call Got bitches all in my mind Fuck nigga blocking my shine I know the reason you feel the way I know just who you wan' be So everyday I thank the man upstairs That I ain't you and you ain't me Get off my dick, woah (Get the fuck off my dick) Get off my dick, woah (Get the fuck off my dick nigga) Get off my dick, bitch, woah (Get the fuck off my dick) Get off my dick, woah Man fuck them niggas I come home and I don't tell nobody They gettin' temporary dough and I don't tell nobody Lord will you tell me if I changed, I won't tell nobody I wanna go back to Jermaine, and I won't tell nobody This is the part that the thugs skip Young nigga never had love You know, foot massage, back rub shit Blowing bubbles in the bathtub shit That is until I met you Together we done watch years go by Seen a river of your tears go by Got me thinkin' bout some kids, still I Tell them hoes come through (The break up) Get to know somebody and you learn a lot about 'em When we long for you, start to doubt 'em Tell yourself you better off without 'em Then in time you will find can't walk without 'em Can't talk without 'em, can't breath without 'em Came here together, you can't leave without 'em So you walk back in, make a scene about 'em On your Amerie it's just 1 thing about 'em It's called love Niggas don't sing about it no more Don't nobody sing about it no more No more, no more It's called love Niggas don't sing about it no more Don't nobody sing about it no more (Nigga I don't sing about this shit no more) But there a nigga in the club singing To the window, to the wall My nigga ride when I call Got bitches all in my mind Fuck nigga blocking my shine I know the reason you feel the way I know just who you wan' be So everyday I thank the man upstairs That I ain't you and you ain't me Get off my dick But ain't a nigga in the club singing Singing this song yeah Got all the bitches in the club singing Singing this song yeah And all they mamas let their kids sing it Sing this song yeah The baby mamas and the mistresses Singing this song yeah Song yeah, song song yeah The make up This shit is retarded Why every rich black nigga gotta be famous Why every broke black nigga gotta be brainless That's a stereotype Driven by some people up in Ariel Heights Here's a scenario Young Cole pockets is fat like little Terrio Dreamville, give us a year we'll be on every show Yeah fuck nigga I'm very sure Fuck the rest I'm the best nigga out When I'm back home I'm the best in the South When I'm in LA I'm the best in the West You can test, you can test, I'mma stretch niggas out Ooh I'mma stretch niggas out That go for all y'all if I left niggas out This shit for everybody on my testicle Please make sure you put the rest in your mouth, ho
Lowkey one of my favorite music videos I’ve ever watched wish they were still like this showing something interesting not just a huge friend group getting sturdy
As you can see he doesn't need bitches, nor naked girls, nor lyrics about pussies, whore, ect, to make his song famous, hope you got my point. He is one of the greatest artist, love him so much. He is an amazing rapper.
Maha Ab he truly is a inspiration, I love his art and his music. He inspired me to create dope art and music, hopefully you can take the time out to check out my channel and sub but its all love, man enjoy dope music
Yeah I meant rapper, I was typing so fast I guess. :3 thank you for correcting me guys ! But it's just I was typing without paying attention, it happens.
In the middle of the song…”the part the thugs skip” I literally remember crying real tears in high school after my first breakup…this album was everything to me in 2016
I absolutely love this song and the video. The video is awesome on its own but the lyrics are pretty deep with a bit of a throwback sound. Reminds me of early 2000's late 90's music.
I love j cole he is incredibly talented I would love to see him in the big screen. He would be amazing in acting or producing❤all his music videos have a story and I love that
Love the way he touched upon privilege between black communities. Cole is black, but treated better due to money, status as celeb, light skin, etc. But all black people come together in the end despite social standing because under the racist ruling, are all still oppressed. The white girl helping them represents allyship. We must ALL come together to stop these injustices.
Look, I 100% detest ANY forms of racism, and I would stand beside anyone to fight against it. I am curious what "racist ruling" you are referring to though?
@@Chima207 If the racism is so subtle, then how is it a "racist ruling?" I cant think of one law or regulation that is perpetuating racism. There are certainly, socially racist interactions in many communities. But those are between many different ethnic groups of people. Meaning, racism exists socially between so many racial groups, that it would be dishonest to single out Black people as the most oppressed. Im down to shun people for any racially motivated aggression. But our laws are pretty fair and racism is generally hated and fought. I think there will always be some racists. Thats terrible, but I find it a bit dishonest to be telling people that slavery hundreds of years ago is responsible for the overall success of American society, and therefore, has left this powerful unseen racial hatred. You called it subtle, I imagine you actually believe it to be more severe. I just think most Americans would shut a racist down immediately if they had an interaction with one. Out of curiousity, can give any examples of the "subtle" racism and explain how they are hurting people?
@@Chima207 Nothing? I mean you would really smear an entire country without any examples. That is shocking to me. Also, if you live in America... then youre already very privileged. Seriously.
@@victoriabrown5022 oh i was not aware! that doesn't negate my point tho, and doesn't take away from his blackness either. but thanks for letting me know!
J Cole is one of the few artists that put soul into his music. Most are after money and no legacy. Once jermaine's career ends best believe he will be one of the greatest hip hop artists to ever have touched a mic
That's because most rappers todays ain't proving themselves anymore tho.They just here to get money and media attention. Only few rappers like J cole/Kendrick Lamer are proven themselves worthy excluded Lil Wayne/Nicki #Ugh
***** Nicki Minaj is easily the best female rapper in the game right now. She's also one of the nicest people on this planet. She gets legitimately upset when her younger fans skip school to go to her shows. Kanye really almost cut her verse out of Monster because he seriously thought it was the best part of the entire album. But Lil Wayne is... irredeemable.
It seems to me, that this video is a metaphor for where Cole is in his life. He sees himself as a slave, but one who has more comforts than most. He doesn't receive the respect of his people for this, because they believe he sold out at their expense (that he is a puppet of the white man). Though what he comes to reveal later on, was that it is his elevated position that he will leverage as a means of freeing his people. He is sacrificing luxury, and everything he is in order to see his own free. I believe he uses music as his vessel to do this, and perhaps this gives us more insight as to why Cole is driven beyond belief. Why his music constantly reaches out to illuminate the dark path, kept hidden by the distractions of our world.
@@ritikmota9276 one of my absolute favorites actually. There's a cool remix of it out there too. I am just a huge J Cole fan - as an Artist (Actor) I hope to bring the same level of intention and honesty to my work. Cole is one of my heroes.
michael jackson had died 6 years prior im sure jermaine didn't have much competition tbh They told him don't you ever come around here Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear So beat it, just beat itYou better run, you better do what you can Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man You wanna be tough, better do what you canSo beat it, but you wanna be badJust beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it No one wants to be defeated Showin' how funky strong is your fight It doesn't matter who's wrong or right Just beat it, beat it Just beat it, beat it Just beat it, beat it Just beat it, beat itThey're out to get you, better leave while you canDon't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man You wanna stay alive, better do what you can So beat it, just beat itYou have to show them that you're really not scaredYou're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare They'll kick you, then they beat you Then they'll tell you it's fair So beat it, but you wanna be badJust beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it No one wants to be defeated Showin' how funky strong is your fightIt doesn't matter who's wrong or right Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it No one wants to be defeated Showin' how funky strong is your fight It doesn't matter who's wrong or right Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat itBeat it, beat it, beat it, beat it No one wants to be defeated Showin' how funky strong is your fight It doesn't matter who's wrong or right Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it No one wants to be defeated Showin' how funky strong is your fight It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it No one wants to be defeated Showin' how funky strong is your fight It doesn't matter who's wrong or right Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it No one wants to be defeated Showin' how funky strong is your fight It doesn't matter who's wrong or right Just beat it, beat it Beat it, beat it, beat it
***** I do Agree. J. Cole is one of my favorite singers and feel that all of his songs send some sort of message that a lot of people should hear. (They'd learn a lot ;p)
For those of ya'll saying that it has nothing to do with the song you're wrong. He's telling you everybody thinks he's a sell out, but he's working for a change, just waiting on his opportunity to strike. Cause just like in the video they think he's just playing a house nigga, but he set his people free. (edit) - Oh shit I'm top comment... I make music bishes check me out...
Justin 3 most were put in the fields. If you have ever heard of the brown paper bag test it kind of explains. If you match or are lighter than the color of the paper bag you go to the house. If darker you go to the fields. But in some cases if you were handsome or pretty enough and couldn’t tell light or dark they would be made personal slaves. They were often raped and beaten then sometimes sent to work in the fields naked to show others their scars
@@dalemcghee6416 godamn well i think i had would have real problem since i am brownskin and its still disgust me how people can do that to each other every i hear those storys
First listened to this track when I was 14. We used to compete with my brother who has the dopest playlist. You know what, i lost , there is no way I could resist copying his dope playlist with J Cole.
atx512htx713 most of his music will, originality and creativity, mixed with this guys talent, is a recipe that even even the cheapest wine, will age gracefully.! 🥴
That eager man trying to get one of the big guns symbolizes angry African Americans that act off impulse and are ready to fight every time something bad happens. Cole giving him the pistol basically means "Settle down homeboy" lol.

Cole's competition for the throne is Kendrick, NOT DRAKE.
DRAAAKE? DRAAAAAKE? * Soulja voice* man drakes only throne is king of mainstream music
@@eatmyshorts9815 yes Draaaake, the guy that got bodied by Pusha T yes lol and you are saying nothing but the truth my guy
Hell nah. No comparison. J Cole is in a class of his own honestly.
Randy Flash who cares bout diss track doesn’t mean he makes bad music. Drake bodied meek but meek still makes good music. Smh u clown.
EAN SMELTSER nah there’s competition.
My top 10: Kendrick, j Cole, drake, asap Rocky, Travis Scott, Kanye west, kid cudi, meek mill, logic.
If just talking bout lyrics then there’s no competition other than Denzel, joey badass, Jid, logic. Some others I dont really listen for the lyrics anyway.
Why is no one appreciating his acting? 😭
literally top comment
cuz he's too young for Nia Long

Many kids need you from Alex in gomora cause mostly we listen to your music to have faith and I ain’t lying

Bill Bixby Ya man this sounds like something Jordan Peele would make. But this is really good 👌🏿

I was shocked in the first half but literally found myself cheering at the end. J cole's music is mad powerful and i loved every second of this song and video

The opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is indifference. I like how the video of this song reveals that. ❤
Can't believe it's about to be 8 yrs since this album was released. Classic!
J Cole and Kendrick are on a whole different level.

YOU ARE DAMN RIGHT MY FRIEND
I wasn't really really impressed by Kdndrick's new album
Why am i seeing some old ass comments from 9 years ago but the song is still fresh
Omg. When he starts spitting and that beat drops. Next level unique flow. Been many years since I bumped this. Undeniably classic album.
Its like, when you first hear this album, that's all you're doing: Hearing it. Its like "Okay yeah, my nigga back." But if you actually LISTEN to this joint more and more, you start hearing stuff.

Lyrics:
Hollywood Cole
Go
Ay Hollywood
Hollywood Cole
Go
You wanna know just where I'm at
Well let me tell you 'bout it
I put my city on the map
But let me tell you 'bout it
They tryna say I can't come back
Ay let me tell you 'bout it
Man fuck them nigga I come back
Ay let me tell you 'bout it
I wanna tell you 'bout it
Hands up, everybody run
Cole outside and he say he got a gun
Niggas like "man that's what everybody say"
Go and pop the trunk and everybody dead
Everybody scared of the nigga
Aware that the nigga is better
All my bitches the pick of the litter
Never bitter
Niggas is faker than anime
Me I never hate, get cake like Anna Mae, woah
Eat the cake bitch, eat the damn cake
Fuck good nigga we demand great
Order Dominoes and she take off all her clothes
Nigga you know how it goes, make the pizza man wait
The best kept secret
Even hoes try and keep it and I leak the damn tape
Rest in peace any nigga want beef
Even secret service couldn't keep the man safe
I said to the window, to the wall
My nigga ride when I call
Got bitches all in my mind
Fuck nigga blocking my shine
I know the reason you feel the way
I know just who you wan' be
So everyday I thank the man upstairs
That I ain't you and you ain't me
Get off my dick, woah
(Get the fuck off my dick)
Get off my dick, woah
(Get the fuck off my dick nigga)
Get off my dick, bitch, woah
(Get the fuck off my dick)
Get off my dick, woah
Man fuck them niggas I come home and I don't tell nobody
They gettin' temporary dough and I don't tell nobody
Lord will you tell me if I changed, I won't tell nobody
I wanna go back to Jermaine, and I won't tell nobody
This is the part that the thugs skip
Young nigga never had love
You know, foot massage, back rub shit
Blowing bubbles in the bathtub shit
That is until I met you
Together we done watch years go by
Seen a river of your tears go by
Got me thinkin' bout some kids, still I
Tell them hoes come through
(The break up)
Get to know somebody and you learn a lot about 'em
When we long for you, start to doubt 'em
Tell yourself you better off without 'em
Then in time you will find can't walk without 'em
Can't talk without 'em, can't breath without 'em
Came here together, you can't leave without 'em
So you walk back in, make a scene about 'em
On your Amerie it's just 1 thing about 'em
It's called love
Niggas don't sing about it no more
Don't nobody sing about it no more
No more, no more
It's called love
Niggas don't sing about it no more
Don't nobody sing about it no more
(Nigga I don't sing about this shit no more)
But there a nigga in the club singing
To the window, to the wall
My nigga ride when I call
Got bitches all in my mind
Fuck nigga blocking my shine
I know the reason you feel the way
I know just who you wan' be
So everyday I thank the man upstairs
That I ain't you and you ain't me
Get off my dick
But ain't a nigga in the club singing
Singing this song yeah
Got all the bitches in the club singing
Singing this song yeah
And all they mamas let their kids sing it
Sing this song yeah
The baby mamas and the mistresses
Singing this song yeah
Song yeah, song song yeah
The make up
This shit is retarded
Why every rich black nigga gotta be famous
Why every broke black nigga gotta be brainless
That's a stereotype
Driven by some people up in Ariel Heights
Here's a scenario
Young Cole pockets is fat like little Terrio
Dreamville, give us a year we'll be on every show
Yeah fuck nigga I'm very sure
Fuck the rest I'm the best nigga out
When I'm back home I'm the best in the South
When I'm in LA I'm the best in the West
You can test, you can test, I'mma stretch niggas out
Ooh I'mma stretch niggas out
That go for all y'all if I left niggas out
This shit for everybody on my testicle
Please make sure you put the rest in your mouth, ho
Lowkey one of my favorite music videos I’ve ever watched wish they were still like this showing something interesting not just a huge friend group getting sturdy
jcole and kendrick saved hip hop
right
Don't forget Joey Badass, Logic and Drake
+Greatest Ever listen to all 3 of them to :-)
+Ruth Capa i dont think drake is on jcole or kendrick level but hes not that bad
+niko holico he raps about fucking bitches and getting money.... That's not music... Therefore he's fucking garbage lmao
J Col is a musical Genius anyone who disagrees doesn't know rap plan and simple

No cars? No rims? No bling? No clubs? No dancing? No truisms? No problems. U mad? G.O.M.D.
No dancing ? Those girls towards the end were clearly dancing in front of the fire !
There was quite a bit of dancing

next stage= illuminati, i could come back
No problem just a little slavery M8
As you can see he doesn't need bitches, nor naked girls, nor lyrics about pussies, whore, ect, to make his song famous, hope you got my point. He is one of the greatest artist, love him so much. He is an amazing rapper.
Maha Ab hes ill foreal
Maha Ab he truly is a inspiration, I love his art and his music. He inspired me to create dope art and music, hopefully you can take the time out to check out my channel and sub but its all love, man enjoy dope music
Lost me at singer. 💀
TrippyzDLive same 😭
Yeah I meant rapper, I was typing so fast I guess. :3 thank you for correcting me guys ! But it's just I was typing without paying attention, it happens.
In the middle of the song…”the part the thugs skip” I literally remember crying real tears in high school after my first breakup…this album was everything to me in 2016
The instrumental got a story behind it 💯 what a tune 💥💥💥💥💥
Rap is not my thing but I cannot not deny J Cole, Kendrick, and D Smoke’s talents. They are all great lyricists.
EVERYONE SLEEPING ON D SMOKE FR

I absolutely love this song and the video. The video is awesome on its own but the lyrics are pretty deep with a bit of a throwback sound. Reminds me of early 2000's late 90's music.

Love the way he touched upon privilege between black communities. Cole is black, but treated better due to money, status as celeb, light skin, etc. But all black people come together in the end despite social standing because under the racist ruling, are all still oppressed. The white girl helping them represents allyship. We must ALL come together to stop these injustices.
Look, I 100% detest ANY forms of racism, and I would stand beside anyone to fight against it. I am curious what "racist ruling" you are referring to though?
@@Chima207 If the racism is so subtle, then how is it a "racist ruling?" I cant think of one law or regulation that is perpetuating racism. There are certainly, socially racist interactions in many communities. But those are between many different ethnic groups of people. Meaning, racism exists socially between so many racial groups, that it would be dishonest to single out Black people as the most oppressed. Im down to shun people for any racially motivated aggression. But our laws are pretty fair and racism is generally hated and fought. I think there will always be some racists. Thats terrible, but I find it a bit dishonest to be telling people that slavery hundreds of years ago is responsible for the overall success of American society, and therefore, has left this powerful unseen racial hatred. You called it subtle, I imagine you actually believe it to be more severe. I just think most Americans would shut a racist down immediately if they had an interaction with one.
Out of curiousity, can give any examples of the "subtle" racism and explain how they are hurting people?
@@Chima207 Nothing? I mean you would really smear an entire country without any examples. That is shocking to me. Also, if you live in America... then youre already very privileged. Seriously.
Cole is mixed-😭his mom is white
@@victoriabrown5022 oh i was not aware! that doesn't negate my point tho, and doesn't take away from his blackness either. but thanks for letting me know!

J Cole is one of the few artists that put soul into his music. Most are after money and no legacy. Once jermaine's career ends best believe he will be one of the greatest hip hop artists to ever have touched a mic
That's because most rappers todays ain't proving themselves anymore tho.They just here to get money and media attention.
Only few rappers like J cole/Kendrick Lamer are proven themselves worthy excluded Lil Wayne/Nicki #Ugh
***** Yea Jay Rock is better than both of them
***** Nicki Minaj is easily the best female rapper in the game right now. She's also one of the nicest people on this planet. She gets legitimately upset when her younger fans skip school to go to her shows. Kanye really almost cut her verse out of Monster because he seriously thought it was the best part of the entire album.
But Lil Wayne is... irredeemable.
GrayXephyr Nikki is not the best female rapper
GrayXephyr Angel haze and nitty scott mc shit on Nikki minaj
I can’t believe it’s been almost ten years since this dropped. Still hot af.
Cole is light in all ways! Keeps the snakes hissing! Well done brother! Many praises to you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Who’s doing a Cole marathon during quarantine!
i cant find most of his songs and i wannna be a rapper like him :(
Vendetta just type on google and you have a lot of really good songs I can give you a list also 😂
I’ve been spamming his songs this whole quarantine

🙋🏽♂️
It seems to me, that this video is a metaphor for where Cole is in his life. He sees himself as a slave, but one who has more comforts than most. He doesn't receive the respect of his people for this, because they believe he sold out at their expense (that he is a puppet of the white man). Though what he comes to reveal later on, was that it is his elevated position that he will leverage as a means of freeing his people. He is sacrificing luxury, and everything he is in order to see his own free. I believe he uses music as his vessel to do this, and perhaps this gives us more insight as to why Cole is driven beyond belief. Why his music constantly reaches out to illuminate the dark path, kept hidden by the distractions of our world.
shut up
@@TyMcLeod don’t listen to him, you spoke fax’s
yeah, you should also give a listen to his other song snow on tha bluff, which also talks about this!
@@ritikmota9276 one of my absolute favorites actually. There's a cool remix of it out there too. I am just a huge J Cole fan - as an Artist (Actor) I hope to bring the same level of intention and honesty to my work.

honestly yes those are my 2 fav songs of forest hills drive
No Role Modelz gets alot of radio time in fayetteville it's definitely my favorite song from the album

For those of ya'll saying that it has nothing to do with the song you're wrong. He's telling you everybody thinks he's a sell out, but he's working for a change, just waiting on his opportunity to strike.

The accuracy there was a division in black people because lightskins and darkskins were separate.
@dale mcghee idk if you know but what happend with the brownskins? just wanna know
Justin 3 most were put in the fields. If you have ever heard of the brown paper bag test it kind of explains. If you match or are lighter than the color of the paper bag you go to the house. If darker you go to the fields. But in some cases if you were handsome or pretty enough and couldn’t tell light or dark they would be made personal slaves. They were often raped and beaten then sometimes sent to work in the fields naked to show others their scars

All of his albums are relly great and nice even his mixtape
This song is old
Ohh I just realized what u said nvm my last comment
I hear the chant, it’s still lyrical genius so imma sit and listen to the man regardless. The respect is beyond, for the story and the teller.
First listened to this track when I was 14. We used to compete with my brother who has the dopest playlist. You know what, i lost , there is no way I could resist copying his dope playlist with J Cole.
This song just got better over time, like a fine wine

It's better of fine wine, trust me i'm french...
That eager man trying to get one of the big guns symbolizes angry African Americans that act off impulse and are ready to fight every time something bad happens. Cole giving him the pistol basically means "Settle down homeboy" lol.
He reminds me of Kevin hart
His energy and his "shortness"
