      FearTheXI Word bro I'm Mexican as well, and what's sad is that Black people and Brown people are always oppressed by the White man, they set this corrupted system up to watch us destroy ourselves, they put black and brown people together in the same slums watching us fight each other and not realizing that we're falling for their trap, it's sad to see two races that are in the same place not get along, that even my own race shakes their head when I shake partners hand, I have respect for my black brothers because we both share the same struggles, some won't agree with me when I say that we are one in the same, get mad at me if you want to but, what I mean by that is that we are all human, the biggest fear for the system is that one day the see us working together and getting along because together we're strong, and I believe if we work together we can't be denied and push around no more, we have to come together hand and hand willing to oppress to those who oppress us. Just my opinion.

    Wait, so Drake is getting all this recognition because he made a 4 minute music video giving away a couple week's worth of supplies to people, but Cole out here actually on the ground in poor communities across the country, helping them out, humbly, and he gets no mention for it? That's the fucked up part about the world. Giving away some $1 million is nice short-term, but what does it achieve?

      It doesn't honor J-Cole's contribution to belittle someone else's. Because if someone's life was helped in any substantial way by what you say was the less honorable help, you discredit them, and their lives and the help they needed. These artists don't want or need you to demean someone else in order to honor them. In fact, what would honor J-Cole more is if you went out and tried to do your own version of exactly what he's doing. And nowhere in this video does he talk down to Drake, or ANYONE, whether he agrees with them or not. God speed.

      @doriderrell 2 роки тому +9

      @@BIGproFAN156 It’s a really tough question! Hmmm...it depends on preference in regards to style and technique, but personally I think 💭 Kendrick is the best rapper I’ve ever heard in my life. Flow, cadence, imagery, inflections, melodies, EVERYTHING. Better than any other rapper has ever done it. Jay-Z can’t sing. Biggie stuck to a few topics: women drugs and rags to riches. Cole has amazing stories but are conveyed on questionable beats sometimes. I can’t relate to Eminem’s music half of the time and don’t care for fast rap if the bars aren’t that good.
      Kendrick can produce music, curate an entire album for a superhero blockbuster, sell out shows and release music with NO promo, make music that divides the fan base yet wins a Pulitzer Prize and 10+ Grammys...there’s no comparison.
      Nas is also a good contender for best rapper alive, but he hasn’t impacted me the way Kendrick has. Thanks for the question!

    This makes me cry because I lost my older brother and Dad when I was 11 years old and for the woman at the end to have so much faith in God and just put it all in His hands is amazing. No one ever understands what you're going through because it's a "one man for himself type of world." I know that one day I'll have just as much strength as her to smile like that. I was a daddy's girl and when I lost my dad I lost myself mentally. So I know what it's like to constantly say you have to keep moving on. People eventually stop caring about your sad story, but most people fail to understand that talking about it is a huge way to cope with it. She lost two of her babies, I know it takes everything in her to say keep moving forward. My mom also lost two children and a husband so it is hard. My mom couldn't cope the right way and she completely lost herself mentally and emotionally. She became a drug addict, alcoholic, and she's been diagnosed with schizophrenia for some years now. so seeing this woman be strong for the rest of her babies is life touching. I have eleven siblings that my mom couldn't be strong for because she didn't know good grief at the time, but we're being strong for her and each other. Bless everyone in this video because it's not easy as it looks sometimes.
    News article on my dad and brother for those who may have been through the same thing or similar to let you know we relate and it's ok not to forget what happened but keep going forward. A little motivation.

    The people who know.. know. You can give respect to the greats all you want but J Cole is just different. He’s bigger than music, he’s bigger than money. It’s poetry. It’s powerful. This isn’t an album- it’s a masterful piece of art on par with the best throughout human HISTORY and I really mean that idgaf what people say about him.

    Something we wish to see from Dot & Drake! This why people love Cole, because of documentaries like this!
    It just brings us closer to what’s going on and the direct access to who people are at the end of the day!
    This is why people love Cole, more so than the other two!
    The music is great, the message makes everything clearer!
    He touch the people because he’s literally out here touching the people!

I'm just a white dude from the Midwest and even I understand these struggles J Cole raps about and even tho I'm not a member of the black community, when I listen to him I feel like I feel the pain he raps about. That's the artistry of J Cole. He can make a stranger to the community understand the struggles simply by speaking. The key to fixing this nation is first understanding what is wrong that needs to be fixed. It takes all of us. Tomorrow, hold the door for an old lady, tell someone they look nice, say hi to your neighbor. Start small. Make someone smile. Love Thy Neighbor. Much love for everyone in the struggle cause we all got our own struggles.

    Cole is just real. He doesn't do anything but stay out of the spotlight and rap about what's real to him. That's why I love him. I understand the boring comments, but sometimes I need to listen to someone who's chill and poetic. He can paint a picture or a scene with his songs that a lot of rappers now a days can't do. He ain't trying to come up with the craziest beats or come up with fake words or rap the fastest, he's just fuckin real. Much love Cole!!! Seeing you in August and I can't wait ❤❤❤

He sold 500k the first week without promotion for an album about some real shit. Him and Kendrick have the biggest impact on this generation. Future took months to go Gold. Rick Ross sold 100k the first week. Kendrick sold 610k and Cole 493k. Nothing beats those numbers. Rapping about real stuff & doing numbers >>>>> Typical Rap. Drake is Pop/Rap and he's great but Kendrick and Cole are 100% positive.

    J. cole should have be more popular than he is right now. Bicause he is the real rapper. He is not like others who do it only for money, bitches or fame. The world need more rappers like him.
