You are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then, one day, you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun. -Pink Floyd
@beserk you gonna be alright man. I feel you I was in the same place. Take responsibility for your family. I don't mean burden every thing they do but try and help out here and there so they don't make mistakes. Speak out and try to guide them where you think you can, sometimes hearing it from one of the youngest makes it resonate with everyone more. Don't think everything's gonna change in one go it takes time which is fine. And start building your moral compass. When you get to those periods where you don't know what the fuck you're gonna do with yourself and feel meaningless/purposeless, ask yourself what things you truly want out of life. What values do you hold. For me it was sincerity. Being sincere and honest took me a long way and it's become of the things I live by. Work out/ lift. And learn stuff you think is interesting. Also don't forget you're still a fucking kid. You might be mature for your age and dealt with shit different from other kids but that's not completely true. Lotta people been in the same shoes and have grown because of it. Because you're young and are thinking about what you're gonna make of yourself you're already in a good spot. Experiment with the things you want to do and let yourself fuck up a lot because you can at this point. Things aren't as serious as you think they might be so go talk to new people or go up to girls you find cute and talk to them. In 3 years you're boutta be a different animal. Stay safe bro
IMO....this song is brilliant!! He is viewing himself as the middle child....between the older great mc's and todays mumble rappers...relating to each and changing his flow during the song to reflect each style. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
And bruh how in the middle of the song he uses auto tune to talk about the new genre and he doesn’t use auto tune for the og’s is just showing how j Cole think about this shit so deeply and this is why he’s my favorite artist
Cole uses the autotune to differentiate the sounds of old school and new school hip hop. He only used the autotune when he was talking about the new school rappers but when he was talking about the OG’s in the first verse, there was no autotune.
I really enjoyed the side conversations you had. That's what I look for in reaction videos. I can and do listen to the songs before watching these type of videos, so I subscribe when I get to hear more thoughts about what the lyrics mean and how they relate to the people reacting. Fantastic take.
Exactly what i do, i usually go check the song out first myself and then watch their reaction best way to do it 👌 love when they actually react to it not just listen
Daniel Space They would have a fantastic podcast. Would love to hear more of their perspective on other things: relationships, social issues, politics...
'The minecraft audience grew up and now they're watching rock reacts' and here's me, a former religious minecraft video watcher now watching rock reacts
I’m genuinely curious, how old is the Minecraft audience? I feel like I missed out on that whole era, but I think that’s just me realizing that I’m getting old
Really love that y'all love Cole. Hes the best because his music keeps the positivity, comfort, fun, and hope alive. Most artists now cater to the kids, even college age, that arent mature enough or have never had their own complex thought. And theyre just in it for the buzz words, clout, and quick thrill. I feel like J Cole is the realest person to make music because he has the most unique view and when you hear it you always know hes right, AND he still brings bangin music.

Wow this skype set up is actually ridiculously clean, nice work. If JDP and GZ$ ever legit want to make a mixtape hit me up for beats my dudes i've got them spilling out my ears, keep at it 🔥🔥🔥
This has to be up there with one of my favourites from cole, great sound and really interesting subject matter. J Cole is really in a special place in Hip Hop right now.

I love watching reactions when people genuinely love and know about the artists. Great reaction! Can't wait to watch more! And LOVE Cole! He's definitely one of the greatest right now.
J.Coles generation is the middle child of the rappers that came before and the ones coming up now. He's rapping about embracing and making room for the new school.
He put the Auto tune part between the two verse talking about the old gen and new gen cause its the middle of the song and cause hes the middle generation of rap. In the last Chorus he doesn't use auto tune so it best of both worlds.
From being a firefighter to being a doctor and all the other talents that this man has I would never thought that he would end up being a video reactor, damn Johnny
The chorus goes by the title "middle child." Basically the first part of the chorus"I just poured something in my cup, i just want something i can feel." Basically talking from the viewpoint of new generation of hip hop artists and then the second part is from the perspective of older generation of hip hop artists. "Foot is on they neck i got em stuck, imma give em something they can feel, pistol in your hand dont make you real."
Love that you guys are certified J. Cole fans. His mixtapes especially The Warm Up and Friday Night Lights really helped me through college nobody else motivated me as much . Keep it up guys , Rock Reacts rules! COLE WORLD NO BLANKET!
Honestly the most satisfying part of this video is that Simon is nodding along to the actual bpm of the song but JD is nodding to the half time feeling of the track
Listen to Friday Night Lights if you want to hear J Cole with drums and horns. It feels like a high school football game in an album and I'm so happy he's moving that direction again.
I swear every time I watch the video and reflect back to like a year or two ago: "Wow Simon is actually catching bars". Ya'll came a long way gents. Congrats! And J. Cole is fire.
This channel should be well north of 500k subscribers. It has quality reactions, not just excited people reciting the lyrics after they pause the video. I appreciate the discussions during the pauses and the conversations feel genuine. Thank you for putting out quality content.
Always love your Cole takes fellas! I have the utmost respect and appreciation for how hard you guys work for my entertainment and I know driving 100 mi is considered quite the distance in Britan but it made me chuckle as an American.
As soon as Simon said “trumpets” I remembered how much he hated the trumpets on Kendrick - Rigamortis said and it reminded him of a Mario Kart song and I can’t listen to it the same now
For those who don’t know he only used auto tune in the middle Bc he wanted to show how he is the middle child between old lyrical rap and the newer generation of mumble rap with auto tune
one thing i want to point out that i give jcole hella props for…the first verse hes talking that talk right…notice how the 808 kick was underneth it the whole time…getting into his rapper bag…then second verse…he lessen the 808 kick cause he was spitting that conscious and he wanted yall to really listen…not get caught up in the ill beat…fkn smart man haha
He has WAY better songs imo. “Stay right there” for example. And “Life”. Prom/King’s actually probably one of his weakest songs in my opinion. I just personally hate his flow on that song and the production isn’t my favorite either.
I haven't seen y'all in a minute but salute from hawaii. Y'all have honest reviews from outside the hiphop culture. J cole my fav artist dead or alive. Seen the no role models when y'all first did it and literally spot on. Mahalo and aloha... Rock on
I love this reaction because I listen to different types of music, from rap, hip hop to rock to oldies to even Dutch rap, Spanish (all Spanish music). Awesome. Thank you!
Also if you guys love jcole. You will like Bas. Has a couple collaborations with jcole : night job, lit , tribe, nigga just made bail. You should react to these! 😍
The quality of this type of skype reaction from you guys is SO much better. I used to hate when you guys used to do this stuff but its gotten a lot better! Cheers mates!
This looks like a BBC Radio interview. 😂
"You think you're young until you're not" BOY I felt that 😂 I just turned 31 a week ago.
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then, one day, you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun.
-Pink Floyd
Runyan4PREZ jeez how did you have that lyric ready that perfectly sums everything up xD
I turn 31 in 2 months. Time flies😂

Didnt even catch this, that's some clever shit
Miguel Nieves make this top comment!!!
Let’s get this comment more likes ! This song is crazy !
And bruh how in the middle of the song he uses auto tune to talk about the new genre and he doesn’t use auto tune for the og’s is just showing how j Cole think about this shit so deeply and this is why he’s my favorite artist

Well put. I'm not articulate enough to write all of that, but I agree with you 100%
Cole needs to watch this video
Everyone share it with him!

was excited to see this only because I know how much y'all guys love j Cole lol
Bro, didn't know you watched Jon Denton back in the day! Love your content bro!
React to 03 adolescence by J.Cole and the art of peer pressure by Kendrick Lamar
The Art of Peer Pressure is the most underrated KDot track. It's my personal fave off of GKMC
sklemzforever in my top 3 of GKMC too
Please guys do this
Great songs. 03 Adolescence is THE song that got me into rap. Because of that it’s one of the most important songs in my life
I feel they need listen to the whole album to better understand the story
🔥🔥 wasn't expecting this for at least a week or two but the quality was really gd great vid, hardest working channel in the game
I don’t mind the Skype thing tho
Eli M. It use to bother me in their earlier videos, but I feel like the quality is higher in these new skype videos
It was inconvenient for them
He’s using the term “middle child” as he feels he’s stuck between two generations of rap. Best rapper alive
a little like kendrick, and even arguably sean, joey and asap rocky
'The minecraft audience grew up and now they're watching rock reacts' and here's me, a former religious minecraft video watcher now watching rock reacts
Unite ✊
I'm here
Bro. Yogscast was lit idc what anyone says. Lol
Same
I’m genuinely curious, how old is the Minecraft audience? I feel like I missed out on that whole era, but I think that’s just me realizing that I’m getting old
Blown away by the quality of this video. JOIN
my boy on the right w the stank face 😂🔥
By far the highest quality reaction video I've ever seen given the circumstances, no idea how you even managed this
Really love that y'all love Cole. Hes the best because his music keeps the positivity, comfort, fun, and hope alive. Most artists now cater to the kids, even college age, that arent mature enough or have never had their own complex thought. And theyre just in it for the buzz words, clout, and quick thrill.

This channel never disappoints
This has to be up there with one of my favourites from cole, great sound and really interesting subject matter. J Cole is really in a special place in Hip Hop right now.
I really loved:” I hope you know money won’t erase the pain”, such a meaningfull bar, something that a father would say to his son.

I was not expecting you guys to have this up so fast, you guys are killin it!!
I watched this channel from the beginning, so proud of the growth
LMAO JON your statement about minecraft hit a little too close to home 🤧💀
Love your facial expressions when you here something you like , fun to watch.
React to Danny Brown - Really Doe featuring Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt and Ab-Soul!
No (good) video
And Danny is lost on track. His other companions provide good filter for the song.
Best reaction video of 2019 ..the way you relate to the lyrical content
I'd love to see these guys interview these artists. Such good vibes.
When he says I put something in my cup and the auto tune, he is changing from talking about OGs to the new rappers so that is why he says that
Appreciate the effort fellas.
I love watching reactions when people genuinely love and know about the artists. Great reaction! Can't wait to watch more! And LOVE Cole! He's definitely one of the greatest right now.
This video recording works really well guys! Keep up the good work been here since 25k
Just know when the horns come out cole always kills it

The reason why jcole is great because he bridges the gap between lifestyles. Not just hip hop like you guys said but with other subjects
Yesssss! Knew you guys were gonna drop this. Cole world baby!
Dave- Question time
Middle child represents his place in the rap game. Between old school and new school
My sister showed me this channel and have been watching all the videos since. This is so fun to watch. Love the sincerity guys!
J.Cole - Apparently
Jazz, Who Else, Healer, Gwendolynn’s Apprehension all by Mick Jenkins. He’s incredible
i lowkey come here just to watch them compliment J, he really do be the GOAT.

Tetsu I missed out on being the first comment for prom/king 😂
They have to have seen this comment before why will they not REVIEW IT
Yesssss
This song is okay it’s not that great though idk why everyone wants them to review it so badly
He has WAY better songs imo. “Stay right there” for example. And “Life”. Prom/King’s actually probably one of his weakest songs in my opinion. I just personally hate his flow on that song and the production isn’t my favorite either.
Fooled us with that thumbnail ya sneaky bastards... I'M GLAD YOU MADE THIS REACTION THOUGH
I just finished rewatching your reaction to cole and kendrick's black friday and now this 🔥
I think this is cool. First time ive seen this done
Actual entertaining reaction! Their conversion doesn’t make me want to click off the video like most reactors
Cole is the fuckin GOAT! DOn't ever forget!!!!
This Skype reaction quality is so much more improved than last time!
i love how this is almost a podcast with music
Why haven’t you guys done Saba - PROM/KING yet it’s definitely the most requested song on here
