@@AllGoldAGNo. Jcole put Kendrick in the game. Learn the history. Jcole thought this was just another "control" verse from kendrick but then realised this beef is for real between drake and kenny and not just a friendly competition. He went out gracefully
@@senggaopurusa8843 how do you know what he (J Cole)thought? how do you know this beef is real and not another marketing scheme to spice up the rap sales again??

J Cole been talking about hes the greatest and says he ready for a fight, so when Kendrick (The Students) calls out J Cole & others the teacher. Then not only did j Cole make a DISS Response fast imo, went back on his word and apologized to the world's and also admitted Kendrick The better MC with out putting on a fight.

Fuck the history looks what's happening now
That would honestly be given a warm welcome and be much appreciated, we need more of that. I feel like modern rap is just meaningless words put in front of a beat. Often, the rap is complete gibberish.
Predicting Kanye, who has always acted crazy, would act crazy is not telling the future. Anyone in the past 10 years could tell u his mouth would get him in trouble as it’s the next best thing he’s known for outside of music lol.
@@HartlockYT how tf did you know the specific hue shift. I just tested it to confirm, and you're right. Such a simple adjustment but it looks really cool. I've never seen anyone do a hue shift for a color grade before.
"These rappers insecure, they talk about being a man so much i finally understand that they ain't even sure, bout who they are and why they do this" i love how simple and profound this message is.
I wish J. Cole made something like this in response to Kendrick, 7 Minute Drill sounds like he doesn't even want to be involved but this is such a great track because it has an authentic message and a powerful critique of celebrity culture
I played this after listening to 7 minute drill 😂 Maybe he shouldn’t have dropped an album at all because he dropped this new stuff knowing he won’t top it
ppl will flame on it even more if he made a track like this...although it is a "j cole way of response". The response wouldn't really sound like a response, and even if it was taken that way, it would sound as though he doesn't really think Kendrick is anything of a competition even though its the big 3 thing. in end of the day, Cole shouldve just not responded OR just rap rap just straight try and bar for bar take out Kendrick with emcee skill. I mean if there is nothing to ctritic without making it personal or knowing its complete cap bs, might as well showcase your lyrical skill alone in the diss. Def nothing like Nas and Jay since they were also actually dissing each other
Kendrick and cole brought me to God. Which in return kept me from killing myself and never realising I'm an artist. I use to know I loved art as a kid, , but I forgot all about it completely repressed my child hood from the abuse and pain I received. I'm proud to say I'm out here shadowboxing demons and staying loyal to the most high. In Lord Jesus Christ's name I fight and stay. Chuchhhhhhhhhhhh! God bless

nothing wrong with showing off success after going through rough times making it big. Sometimes people just want bangers to bump too with simple lines that have a lot of substance. Sometimes people want no substance at all and just want to bump to nonsense. Kinda dumb you would inconvenient yourself to take a bus when you have the funds not to. Thats not real, that's an image youre trying to go for. Rap is evolving and if you think new rap doesnt have substance then youre mistaking.
It's time to put J Cole in that convo when we talk about the best to ever do it. No gold, no ice, no women twerking, foreign cars. Just straight bars. Talent doesn't need gimmicks.
@@jayyy1677 Cole has some of the most memorable bars ever such as "American hypocrisy oh let me count the ways. We came here seeking freedom and end up owning slaves!!"
3:54 expresses his humbleness ... one of the richest rappers in the world gets happy when a simple man repeats his lyrics. Amazing. We don’t deserve coles music man. Legend.
I'm a 90's hip hop head.. I definitely mess with J Cole, He'd be a Native Tongue member if he were on back then. Thanks for keeping hip hop alive J Cole
What a classic. To truly understand this song you have to experience this in first person. Every bar so relevant and timeless. Now that’s Astro-Projecting from NC to the world. Well Done J Cole.
Cole you don’t have to battle any rapper to prove yourself. We all know what you’re capable of. Never quit on us. Never stop making music. Your fans are behind you 100% 🙏
It's crazy how every single line applies to the way I look at an artist that was in my life, he used to be my hero. Every bar has so many universal truths about talent falling from grace.
For me in films, I always wanted to be better or as good as some directors, after I heard j Cole, I understand different shit and my knowledge in philosophy got me to think about the situations that are truly terrified to me, I am no longer looking at anyone, but my self and inspiration is there, but is all about my self now. J Cole is the only rapper I listen to, his story telling skills are on another level and most have message.
"These rappers insecure, they talk about being the man so much, I finally understand that they ain't even really sure. About who they are and why they do this. I guess I'm included that category, as a [___] who done had the glory" "My lowest moments came from trying too hard. To impress some [___] that couldn't care if I'm on. Therefore from here on out, my hair grow out. I care nothin' bout opinions. I wanna give hope like the fountains you throw pennies in. Hit the store, take your diss, make your wish." Damn
I grew up with an absent father, not that he wasn't there at all, but mentally he was completely absent. I never felt genuine love from a father figure who wanted me to do good, until i really started to listen to J.Cole. I don't even know him, but i feel like he's speaking directly to me sometimes. And that's all i needed. Thank god for the internet, and thank god for J.Cole, cuz without him, i'd probably be still doing drugs.
Damn bro. That's so inspiring man. Glad you got clean bro. I hope you're still doing well man. I'm sure our story's are a little different of course, but I feel the father thing. I never got deep into drugs, but I don't talk to half my family anymore cuz of family drama that I like to stay out of now for my mental health. I had some of my best friends who got hooked on that shit and screwed over by "friends" who didn't really care about them. I don't wish that on nobody. Hope you're doing well homie. Much love ❤️ 💪
Fuuuuuck nooooo! I mean that your opinion but macklemore ain't even in this category and miller yeah I'll allow miller in but you not taking my homie logic out cuz #Ratpack
@@As-cy3td In my opinion he really won though. Rap disses are petty, corny, edgy and you are willing to be covered in dirt just for what? You lose your dignity and both Kendrick and Drake lost theirs, it's that simple. In war there's no winner, both sides lose something
+El Hajj Malik El. and he's the type of dude who fucks with everyone,he has a car was slash anything you need done to your whip shop,i have and 87 Chevrolet Cutlass with hydros 13' dayton knock off's,i took it to his shop cause i ordered some new tires for the rim's and currency happened to be there when the tires came in,and they were putting them on for me,dude loves cars we went over my whole car,then i asked him if he wanted too smoke,then he asked me if i wanted to smoke some of the shit he had we chopped it up for about and hour, i bet currency is the most down to earth person in the rap game,he didn't let that money fame and all the other stuff that comes with being a famous rapper go to his head,he can come back to his hood unlike a few people we know from new orleans unless it's with a hundred police,i'm doing pretty good in life right now, i swear i wouldn't never sell out where i couldn't never go back to my hood a without police.
Free thinking is not voicing thoughts on serious topics based on no info other then you want to say the opposite of what people think you would say. Free thinking is having adequate knowledge of a subject a voicing opinions based on what you think about that subject after having a clear understanding of it. Which Kanye does not he has been qouted saying his words are based on feeling not thought.
Holden Taylor just cause u have a thought dont mean it was free he just got out of some kind of mental jail been there for almost a year getting god knows what done to him all cause he warned us about radio station owners and other higher ups(that is real free thinking)smh why choose to live in bliss and regurgitate what the mainstream is saying instead of using your own mind to think for yourself
That second verse is actually kinda beautiful knowing what cole just did... definitely embarrassing when it comes to the battle but at least he was true to himself
This use of colours is like a acid trip, the bright purple and neon green , basicly the whole neon spectre brings back memories, not sure if it was on purpose but I dig it. Great job J. Cole I'll be coming back to this for a while.
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.
He's so real, unfiltered and honest. His bars always make you think. You can clearly understand him and what he's saying unlike future and those other ppl. His music always gets better ❤️🔥 he was clearly talking about Kanye btw lol 😂
Mabonkor Jabateh "These niggas think they the shit... but boy you can't out-fart me."-Intellectual Real Rapper artist with Double Platinum No features J.Cole
The reaction to his apology highlights what he’s saying on this track. People idolise rappers, their music becomes a big part of life, and they almost become an extension of yourself because you can relate to it. He’s telling people not to because eventually they will do something that disappoints you. Self awareness is what sets Cole apart. & that Kanye meme was off the mark if you want a real woman 😂

This track gave me chills when it dropped. I still feel it crawl up my spine till this day. That subliminal towards Ye makes ya think about how much Cole saw coming... Especially now...
This sing is an international treasure. 6 years old and becoming truer every year. It is an universal depiction of the fallen angel who used to be the most trustworthy, yet he becomes more and more corrupt and finally loses to the realness in the world
Nohe Meza fits the theme of the music video a lot better than a benz. Im not trying to argue though only J. Cole and his buddies know, you could be just as right.

They did and no one listened
no bling no fancy rides straight bars.
J cole is so real he still takes the bus everywhere
nothing wrong with showing off success after going through rough times making it big. Sometimes people just want bangers to bump too with simple lines that have a lot of substance. Sometimes people want no substance at all and just want to bump to nonsense. Kinda dumb you would inconvenient yourself to take a bus when you have the funds not to. Thats not real, that's an image youre trying to go for. Rap is evolving and if you think new rap doesnt have substance then youre mistaking.
salty boy

Mad Max I fell asleep he’s trash
6 years later and it’s still beautiful. A symphony.
that first verse was the most heartfelt and well aged display of lyrical observation of seen in decades!
Nothing else tops it
It's time to put J Cole in that convo when we talk about the best to ever do it. No gold, no ice, no women twerking, foreign cars. Just straight bars. Talent doesn't need gimmicks.
It's been time like BEEEEEN time and take drake wack ass out
💯
People will never admit it and always invalidate him though
@@jayyy1677 Cole has some of the most memorable bars ever such as "American hypocrisy oh let me count the ways. We came here seeking freedom and end up owning slaves!!"
@@blackqueen5201 Hey don't disrespect dreezy
Well it continues to age better and better with every week at this point…
Cole has done this twice now, almost like he’s a time traveler 🧐😂
tbh
This aged perfectly. Thank you for being vulnerable and human. I will always support your music.
3:54 expresses his humbleness ... one of the richest rappers in the world gets happy when a simple man repeats his lyrics. Amazing. We don’t deserve coles music man. Legend.
Mwbeast03 its just a music video
funky it’s deeper than that. Go back and listen to lil pump or something
Mwbeast03 deeper my fucking get over yourself fucking cancer.
J Cole the greatest
BagAhBread Tm he really is.
Dude who can actually rap and has no tattoos. Last of a dying breed. Literally.
Frederick0220 omgggg so truuuuu 😭

he might have some thats covered we dont know
no you're just looking in the wrong places
the fuck does tattoos have to do with anything lmao
I'm a 90's hip hop head..
I definitely mess with J Cole,
He'd be a Native Tongue member if he were on back then.
Thanks for keeping hip hop alive J Cole
This song is a remix of the one by Joey Bada$$, called 'Waves'. If you like this, you should definitely check Joey out!
@@LimboGargoyle exactly.
Same
@@LimboGargoyle Joey is amazing too. Cole and Joey both heavily slept on and it's sad.
M N B Cole is a multi platinum artists with a record label he is not slept on
What a classic. To truly understand this song you have to experience this in first person. Every bar so relevant and timeless. Now that’s Astro-Projecting from NC to the world. Well Done J Cole.

You can't hate j. Cole and claim to understand hip-hop 🙇♂️🐐💯
For real these people say he’s boring and talk instead of actually trying to sit down and trying to understand the word play and lyrics
@Nugget wait are you saying I’m replying with hate?
Trust me I can
most overrated rapper of this generation

Looking back on this song 3 years later you realize every single one of his words are true. Cole is a prodigy and no one will top him.

This song is aging perfectly as days pass by.
It's crazy how every single line applies to the way I look at an artist that was in my life, he used to be my hero. Every bar has so many universal truths about talent falling from grace.
For me in films, I always wanted to be better or as good as some directors, after I heard j Cole, I understand different shit and my knowledge in philosophy got me to think about the situations that are truly terrified to me, I am no longer looking at anyone, but my self and inspiration is there, but is all about my self now. J Cole is the only rapper I listen to, his story telling skills are on another level and most have message.
@@xingincool9672 how's your journey within going bro?
Crazy how this song hits much different then it did 5 years ago😢 Hope Ye gets the help he need ….
Wym? This song was always about Ye, even 5 years ago ppl commenting about Kanye, nothin changed
hits the same way...
man FOR REAL
holy shit cringe
aint nun wrong with ye he doin it on purpose to get out the deal .
The first verse hits harder than ever before
"These rappers insecure, they talk about being the man so much, I finally understand that they ain't even really sure. About who they are and why they do this. I guess I'm included that category, as a [___] who done had the glory"
"My lowest moments came from trying too hard. To impress some [___] that couldn't care if I'm on. Therefore from here on out, my hair grow out. I care nothin' bout opinions. I wanna give hope like the fountains you throw pennies in. Hit the store, take your diss, make your wish."
Damn
Cole didn't learn a damn thing 🤦♂️
I grew up with an absent father, not that he wasn't there at all, but mentally he was completely absent. I never felt genuine love from a father figure who wanted me to do good, until i really started to listen to J.Cole. I don't even know him, but i feel like he's speaking directly to me sometimes. And that's all i needed. Thank god for the internet, and thank god for J.Cole, cuz without him, i'd probably be still doing drugs.
You put my exact experience into words my man
Damn bro. That's so inspiring man. Glad you got clean bro. I hope you're still doing well man. I'm sure our story's are a little different of course, but I feel the father thing. I never got deep into drugs, but I don't talk to half my family anymore cuz of family drama that I like to stay out of now for my mental health. I had some of my best friends who got hooked on that shit and screwed over by "friends" who didn't really care about them. I don't wish that on nobody. Hope you're doing well homie. Much love ❤️ 💪
Y'all have me in my feelings early.
Doing drugs, listening to Cole 😂😂 hits hard still

You won Cole 🥇
Yes. He won a participation trophy 🏆😂
@@As-cy3td In my opinion he really won though. Rap disses are petty, corny, edgy and you are willing to be covered in dirt just for what? You lose your dignity and both Kendrick and Drake lost theirs, it's that simple. In war there's no winner, both sides lose something
@@Γειασας-ρ3ωHe won for being a 🐱? LMAO yeah aight
🤣🤣🤣🤣@@As-cy3td

Yeah, Cole spits that fyah! Listen to Curren$y, he puts out some bangas!
+El Hajj Malik El. and he's the type of dude who fucks with everyone,he has a car was slash anything you need done to your whip shop,i have and 87 Chevrolet Cutlass with hydros 13' dayton knock off's,i took it to his shop cause i ordered some new tires for the rim's and currency happened to be there when the tires came in,and they were putting them on for me,dude loves cars we went over my whole car,then i asked him if he wanted too smoke,then he asked me if i wanted to smoke some of the shit he had we chopped it up for about and hour, i bet currency is the most down to earth person in the rap game,he didn't let that money fame and all the other stuff that comes with being a famous rapper go to his head,he can come back to his hood unlike a few people we know from new orleans unless it's with a hundred police,i'm doing pretty good in life right now, i swear i wouldn't never sell out where i couldn't never go back to my hood a without police.
I know right? gotta luv it!

Wake up Mr. West!
LeGod James wake up to what exactly? Thinking freely isn’t a bad thing..
Free thinking is not voicing thoughts on serious topics based on no info other then you want to say the opposite of what people think you would say. Free thinking is having adequate knowledge of a subject a voicing opinions based on what you think about that subject after having a clear understanding of it. Which Kanye does not he has been qouted saying his words are based on feeling not thought.
Holden Taylor just cause u have a thought dont mean it was free he just got out of some kind of mental jail been there for almost a year getting god knows what done to him all cause he warned us about radio station owners and other higher ups(that is real free thinking)smh why choose to live in bliss and regurgitate what the mainstream is saying instead of using your own mind to think for yourself
Someone missed the reference completely.
Skeez Money nothings never promised
No booty no drugs no gun just pure hip-hop
well there was booty
Kurt Dog420 u sure about that 0:50
There's plenty of booty big dawg 😂
ummmm....run that back
Well wasn’t that what hip hop was built with decades ago
This song takes a whole new meaning when it applies to Cole himself
He literally applies it to himself in the song itself 🤦🏿
A real false prophet
@@crowing3886You can tell who got it when it dropped and who didn’t
@@dominiquesmith7680ok.
That second verse is actually kinda beautiful knowing what cole just did... definitely embarrassing when it comes to the battle but at least he was true to himself
This use of colours is like a acid trip, the bright purple and neon green , basicly the whole neon spectre brings back memories, not sure if it was on purpose but I dig it. Great job J. Cole I'll be coming back to this for a while.
Watching while in a trip is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

With the release of vultures 2 this song is aging like fine wine
when he laughed at the end I was happy idk why .
J.L Productions he has a contagious laugh, it makes you smile idk why lol
Rick DLC me neither lmao
I think it just felt real; no guilt or anything behind it.
He just smiled because he wanted to.
I love that part
Hugo camolina same .
He's so real, unfiltered and honest. His bars always make you think. You can clearly understand him and what he's saying unlike future and those other ppl. His music always gets better ❤️🔥 he was clearly talking about Kanye btw lol 😂
He did an interview with HardKnockTV discussing the clarity of his music.
He was talking about Kanye West and Wale in this song and a little a bit of Drake as well .
Matter of fact he discusses how he spits as in "bursts" instead of "automatic" so the listener can understand it.

This got me hype for the new album!
Bobby rackz he did at the end of the third verse
Rose and Cole 🐐🐐🔥
The reaction to his apology highlights what he’s saying on this track. People idolise rappers, their music becomes a big part of life, and they almost become an extension of yourself because you can relate to it. He’s telling people not to because eventually they will do something that disappoints you. Self awareness is what sets Cole apart.
& that Kanye meme was off the mark if you want a real woman 😂

it just ages better and better
How he said TLOP was half assed
This sing is an international treasure. 6 years old and becoming truer every year. It is an universal depiction of the fallen angel who used to be the most trustworthy, yet he becomes more and more corrupt and finally loses to the realness in the world
