This is that Cole I’ll never stop supporting. You see & feel the growth, passion, lyricism, perspective, maturity, introspection, love, wisdom, vulnerability, & authenticity. He’s a great for sure.
Fire🔥 Cole has earned his place among the GOATs, regardless of your take on the beef. I respect his decision, while some disagree. That’s fair. But you can’t knock his lyricism, maturity or hustle in growing not only as an individual but as a team with Dreamville being a breeding ground for the future of rap, whatever happens with the future of these 3’s careers.
He didnt bounce back, he never went back. After he released his diss track, I thought it was unexpected since hes been in his mentor type phase for a while, doing his thing but also sitting back and guiding others. When he came out and said he regretted releasing it and he wanted out, I thought that was more in line with who he is. The memes about him dodging a bullet cause he got out early are funny and all, but at the end of the day he's in a spot where hes making music he wants, helping other rappers with advice and sometimes features. Hoppin on songs that he connects with that trigger the artist in him. He never took a step back, he's a GOAT and will always be legendary.

I remember when Cole finally got played on the radio after years of requesting his music. We stopped the car and celebrated in middle of the highway.. This shit is beautiful to a day 1 fan.. 🐐 👑
I appreciate this comment section so much. All the positivity, self-awareness, and emotional maturity being expressed upon hearing these lyrics. This is what music is supposed to do - educate and bring people together. Things can be better if we collectively put these revelations and behaviors in practice daily. God bless. Much respect to Cole for this track.

Lowkey emotional hearing Cole’s hunger at this stage in his career to still showcase his lyrical ability. I remember finding “the come up” and now it’s 2024 and he still doesn’t miss. Powerful
I've been listening to Cole since 2010. Riding to college in a taxi listening to The Warm Up and some days Friday Night Lights.. this man's pen has always been immaculate. No matter what anyone says he will always be one of the greatest of this generation. This song should eradicate all that negative noise. Cole welcome back sir, we are waiting for The Fall Off.
This is that raw style Friday Night Lights but more refined and he knows it. If this is a throwaway off The Fall Off, then The Fall Off is gonna be one for the real Cole fans. Something tells me he’s trying to still get Friday Night Lights and The Warm Up on DSP before The Fall Off.
If you hate on Cole's ability to uphold his character and integrity in his music over everything especially in this current era of music, you're a goofy
I’m 30 years old now, I grew up with Cole music in my most formative years, now I’m a young man and I need this real rap more than ever in my life. A classic Cole album to ground and propel me in my early 30s would mean a lot to me and I’m sure to a lot of people my age.

Takes me back to when I was listening to Jcole back in 2011 as a college student, seeing Cole's video of him in Europe inspired me to travel there myself. Even tho im in Asia as we speak, I haven't reached that goal yet, but I wanna reach it soon to keep my promises to my younger self.

Cole tryna remind the world what rap is about not no fake beef and opp shit for the public, This is food for thought, Music that's impactful to peoples lives
This all i ever wanted... this gives that 2012-2014 Cole feeling God... I've missed this Cole. That was the golden age of one of the greatest to ever do it....
Honestly so many great artists came out of that 2009-2014 artists era, so many special artists & not all of them got to shine unfortunately. Super glad Cole’s talent shined & he would not be denied, too real! That was really a golden age
“They wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow. They see this fire in my pen and think I’m dodging smoke. I wouldn’t have lost a battle man, I would’ve lost a bro. I would’ve gained a foe. And all for what…” This song is so self aware and mature. It’s beautiful.
Its like Cole showed up at the end of the war to clean up what's left and give us a positive message. Something that has been lacking. glad to see Cole back man.
That’s cap. He wanted that spot. He claimed it and constantly dared any rapper to try him. Now he tryna save face. Nah Cole you weak for how you tucked your tail and for saying that weak shit.
@@DevinWilson-b1c Yeah brother 💯 I feel ya, but he gonna be sitting up higher than you or I, you also can't strip the man of talent. Politics and b.s. always in the way. A real man will own up to his mistakes or misjudgment of others.
This the J. Cole kinda music I fell in love with. I like the hard stuff, the party stuff but I was missing that food for thought like Rich N.ggaz, Deja Vu, January 28th etc. #ColeWorld 💯
@seanturnock8575 7 minute drill was better than everything in the diss battle. You only know Kendrick from NLU, and you only like him cause he’s popular, you’re a band wagon, media d rider.
@@Sukuna-w5k7 minute drill isn’t better than like that, euphoria or 616 or watch the party die but I agree that other guy just brought up kendrick for no reason
Nothing but respect for Jermaine Cole! This type of thought-provoking music makes you understand exactly why taking the high road is hard but brings you so much peace within yourself. Destroying your spirit is NEVER worth it in the grand scheme of life.🤴🏿🙌🏾 #TrueKings

The best morning wake-up call I've had is opening the internet and listening directly to this magnificent sound of J. Cole. Respect for him from Madagascar❤👊🏽🔥🔥🔥
I'm a Kendrick fan but you know what? These lines made me think - Cole is a pure heart who wants peace for everyone and that's... That's what you call being mature. BRAVO J.COLE! "I understand the thirst of being first that made 'em both swing Protectin' legacies, so lines got crossed, perhaps regrettably My friends went to war, I walked away with all they blood on me"
@@Heltiic bro been talking like he top1 and when he got tested he ran. It wasn’t gon be far with cole Kendrick. Drake and Kendrick had something personal. Cole and Kendrick would’ve been competitive since Cole always talking like he number one and then he chicken out saying it was gon bring blood. I know not real blood foo
No. He's being a damned drama queen. There was no blood shed. It was a fucking rap beef. He opted out after he submitted a mediocre diss song. No one believes Cole and Kendrick's friendship would've ended over that rap beef. They wouldn't have taken it to the levels Drake and kdot did, talking about each other's family. He walked out of the beef in a dignified manner, looking like a level headed man of peace with his apology. Now he's trying to stir up shit and make himself look like a wise Peacemaker when it really ain't that deep. It's just a rap beef that was over months ago. There are real wars and conflicts happening in the world. Cole is over here yapping about old shit.
I'm a [BLANK] fan comments are mad corny and dishonest. Just say what you want to say, nobody cares about who you're a fan of. I never believe these type of comments lol.
15 for me & I’m 31 now, Cole the truth man! Love how he’s stayed grounded & I’m glad he’s got the acclaim & success cause I know how badly he wanted he it. Dreams man
Cole is one of the realest dudes to ever rap, never runs out of inspiration as well! I have to say thank you, his music’s been with me for 15 years now (I’m 31 now) & had a huge impact on me, I’m glad that he’s reached the success he has while staying true to his self! Cole World
It's been 13 years of being a Cole fan and he still makes the type of music that got me sitting in my car lost in thought. He the greatest of my era. FACTS!
Port Antonio Portland Jamaica 🇯🇲. Is a very beautiful and peaceful place, respect J. Cole for shedding some light on this hidden gem of a small town in Jamaica. Respect for staying true to yourself and to your mission 🙏🏾 bars crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the Cole people don’t know about. This feels like mixtape J Cole, truly yours J Cole, Friday Nights Lights Cole , The warmup J Cole, the Come up Cole. Which are all slept on. Lyricism at its finest🙏😩
11th grade me was right! Now I’m 31 and Cole really is one of the GOATs! Still feels surreal !! My favorite artist is millions of others favorite ! This is back when he only had “who dat” and “lights please” on the radio !
For real bro!! I remember telling every & anyone who would listen that Cole was the truth & I wanted him to be successful so badly because his music had done so much for me & I could hear how hungry he was, so glad that he wasn’t overlooked & I have some other favorites that unfortunately didn’t have nearly as much success but I only mention that because I had such strong belief that Cole would make it. I’m 31 too & Cole’s still the truth, still can’t forget his “A Star Is Born” voice, knocked it out of the park!
Who gives af about that fool, ain’t nobody care if you “was right” 🤡 just shut up and enjoy the masterclass instead of bragging about something nobody cares about. You insignificant fool always claiming something. 11th grade to 31 years old and still a childish pick me idiot 🤡 oh wow look at that your favorite artist is others too…wow crazy, cool story bro… lame ahhh 🤡
It's crazy how many people have the same story and age and timeline with Cole I'm 31 now and I can vividly remember hearing Rise and Shine and thinking to myself this is the dopest rapper that I've ever heard for the first time at 17 years old.
@@ricardomontoya9228 facts!! These new dudes are cool! But Cole, Drake, Dot, Big Sean, Cyhi, King Los, and Childish Gambino all had to really put in that work! They are true masters of their craft! Just listening to how they crafted bars and made them stories and literal works of art! You closed your eyes and couldn’t fathom how they came up with this stuff! It’s slowly making a comeback! But that era is some of the last of a breed that died out! Now everyone has to have a gimmick! Here today gone tomorrow
Cole always give what you need to hear man. Taught me a lot through how you handled that whole situation. Hairs on my neck at attention listening to this.
From 3:13 to the end is masterfully crafted and amazing and full of quotables "They see this fire in my pen and think im dodging smoke" "I woulnt have lost a battle, I would have lost a bro" "My friends went to war I walked away with all their blood on me" "If you refuse to shoot the gun dont mean the gun aint deadliy" ~ J. Cole That is powerful
Kendrick was never his bro, J.Cole had love for a homie that never had love for him. If Kendrick had any respect for J.Cole he wouldn't have called him out his name the way he did, then after J.Cole's withdrawal Kendrick wouldn't have doubled down on it.
@TheSmackUNITthe reason Kendrick is even big in the first place was because of J Cole I’m pretty sure, he showed Kendrick to Dre back in the day and now he’s just ahitting on him
So powerful that Cole wants to still associate himself that has publicly groomed so many underage girls. Cole taking an L for this one, he doesn't stand on shit.

“They strip me of my spot and now I’m finally free” 🔥🔥🔥 I love it!!
That’s cap. He wanted that spot. He claimed it and constantly dared any rapper to try him. Now he tryna save face. Nah Cole you weak for how you tucked your tail and for saying that weak shit.
People will see cole ahead of them 2 industry shills
“It’s… uhm.. grippy☝️🤓” 🔥🔥🔥I love it!!
@@DevinWilson-b1cnah you just hating. He’s proving he’s better than both of em.
@@DevinWilson-b1c Yeah brother 💯 I feel ya, but he gonna be sitting up higher than you or I, you also can't strip the man of talent. Politics and b.s. always in the way. A real man will own up to his mistakes or misjudgment of others.
This the J. Cole kinda music I fell in love with. I like the hard stuff, the party stuff but I was missing that food for thought like Rich N.ggaz, Deja Vu, January 28th etc. #ColeWorld 💯
Yess!!!
And the song 4YEO

“I can see you hate in both of y’all eyes but the thirds blind”🔥
"Just to obtain props from strangers that have no clue what I been aimin for"
Some of these comments just make this line louder
This line will always speak forever. They don't know him but expect him to tap dance to everything they want 😂😂. I
Right? So much hate in the comments rn
What’s he aiming tho. Like dropping a diss then immediately apologizing?
@@depremere3991the jokes write themselves 😅
@@ecilion3047 actual clown. He dont stand on nothin and have the gall to act like he achieved nirvana. His fans be also glazin hard
When he said “I would’ve lost a bro” it took me back to Dreamville when he talked about this. I felt the meaning behind every word he said 💕💕
Saying would have lost a bro is crazy when the bro is the one who dissed u in the first place
@@youngrae17 Never dissed Cole, but yall too oblivious to that
@@TheJRNinenow we gonna change the narrative lol kdot said “fk the big three it’s just me” then Cole dropped a diss just to delete it😂
@@TheJRNineI mean he definitely dissed Cole but he wanted much more with Drake.
@@terellcarter8780 yeah, that’s one diss. That doesn’t necessarily invite Cole to a battle lol
Nothing is better than an unexpected Cole drop‼️🔥🐐

Know that you are loved
I used this sample on a song i made last week and i been trynna figure out where it was from, thank you 😭🫶🏻
He has always been there for me. His music got me through the hardest times. Truly grateful for his music.
if this is what got you out of hard times thank your god for an easy life.
@@ohlookitsbryan Thank God I got this notification that's not an ad, but not at all an important thing. You really helped today!
Been a fan since 2010, first Cole concert 2011, bro is a true legend 🫡
A true poet, this man is full of wisdom and is truly a prophet in today’s world.
A prophet? Bro…he’s just a rapper. Stop worshipping celebrities
Uhh grippy... a true messiah.
get it out ya mouth dawg
I got respect for J.Cole but he ain't no Prophet and he ain't no God
He's not a prophet but he is a really great rapper
J Cole has a big heart and it shines through in his music.. i love u mane
4:11 “If you refuse to shoot the gun , it don’t mean the gun ain’t deadly” …This is POWERFUL broo🔥🔥…
listen to what he says after that
@@ryanixxi6063He's saying that Drake was trying to control Cole into diss Kendrick to be his play toy, And Cole wasn't having it

Nah Kendrick’s better
@seanturnock8575 7 minute drill was better than everything in the diss battle.
You only know Kendrick from NLU, and you only like him cause he’s popular, you’re a band wagon, media d rider.
@@Sukuna-w5k7 minute drill isn’t better than like that, euphoria or 616 or watch the party die but I agree that other guy just brought up kendrick for no reason
@@ror321 like that, i agree, but 616?
@@Sukuna-w5k ye
Cole knows how to speak to your soul this man is truly goated in his words & wisdom
goated are the horned ppl.....
Nothing but respect for Jermaine Cole! This type of thought-provoking music makes you understand exactly why taking the high road is hard but brings you so much peace within yourself. Destroying your spirit is NEVER worth it in the grand scheme of life.🤴🏿🙌🏾 #TrueKings
Everyone assumed Cole backed out cuz he scared, he was the only one blessed with this discernment and wisdom. Forever my goat 👑
Cole did back out after dropping an underwhelming diss
1:19 Black-skinned citizens are abused minorities in every nation except Africa. Even in Africa Black-skinned foreigners are abducted or executed. Hispanics, Native Africans, Whites and Asians are racist against black-skinned people.

Why you say that like you know him or he know you 😂🍖👅
After Ruby Rosary, Blow For Blow, A Plate of Collard Greens etc we can forgive him for Grippy lmaoo
Listening to Cole has opened my eyes and mind.

“And I can’t wait to be the king.. YOUNG SIMBA” I knew you were the one since my college days.. the come up never stops. Cheers to life homie
Nobody do it like Cole... So smooth, story telling at its finest.
Stop the glazing 😂
The best morning wake-up call I've had is opening the internet and listening directly to this magnificent sound of J. Cole. Respect for him from Madagascar❤👊🏽🔥🔥🔥
Honestly bruh, thought it was someone's else's song until I heard, "Young Jermaine"
I'm here on repeat, really put my day into perspective not sure if I'm okay 🙃
I'm a Kendrick fan but you know what? These lines made me think - Cole is a pure heart who wants peace for everyone and that's... That's what you call being mature. BRAVO J.COLE!
"I understand the thirst of being first that made 'em both swing
Protectin' legacies, so lines got crossed, perhaps regrettably
My friends went to war, I walked away with all they blood on me"
Man there was gon be no blood
@@tapiacortes2686 Ofc he aint mean *literally.* Use your head bro smh 💀
@@Heltiic bro been talking like he top1 and when he got tested he ran. It wasn’t gon be far with cole Kendrick. Drake and Kendrick had something personal. Cole and Kendrick would’ve been competitive since Cole always talking like he number one and then he chicken out saying it was gon bring blood. I know not real blood foo
No. He's being a damned drama queen. There was no blood shed. It was a fucking rap beef. He opted out after he submitted a mediocre diss song. No one believes Cole and Kendrick's friendship would've ended over that rap beef. They wouldn't have taken it to the levels Drake and kdot did, talking about each other's family. He walked out of the beef in a dignified manner, looking like a level headed man of peace with his apology. Now he's trying to stir up shit and make himself look like a wise Peacemaker when it really ain't that deep. It's just a rap beef that was over months ago. There are real wars and conflicts happening in the world. Cole is over here yapping about old shit.
I'm a [BLANK] fan comments are mad corny and dishonest. Just say what you want to say, nobody cares about who you're a fan of. I never believe these type of comments lol.
J cole never fails to bring a sense of optimism for life ahead. Man has always reminded authenticity above all
Been listening to Cole since I was 12-13 years old. Never had any intention to stop listening to this man. I'm 28 years old now too
Bro same literally the same ages
same, I started listening when who dat came out. 28 years old, 13 years later
Bro same, started listening in my sophomore year of high school, 27 now
Exactly the same bro
15 for me & I’m 31 now, Cole the truth man! Love how he’s stayed grounded & I’m glad he’s got the acclaim & success cause I know how badly he wanted he it. Dreams man
Who else’s gone go through their day listening to this latest masterpiece by the goat J.Cole 🎉
I'm still listening to grippy
Life’s been hard. Cole wouldn’t know how much I needed this track.
Take care my g! It'll get better keep pushing
Keep going man 🙏🏻
Same here bro
We're all going through it
stay strong G.
That Cleo soul you are loved and that instrumental from his early work is magical. This is the Cole I grew up on
Cole is one of the realest dudes to ever rap, never runs out of inspiration as well! I have to say thank you, his music’s been with me for 15 years now (I’m 31 now) & had a huge impact on me, I’m glad that he’s reached the success he has while staying true to his self! Cole World

This is the Cole people don’t know about. This feels like mixtape J Cole, truly yours J Cole, Friday Nights Lights Cole , The warmup J Cole, the Come up Cole. Which are all slept on. Lyricism at its finest🙏😩
I swear each one of those projects was like an infinity stone to Cole, and The Fall Off is gonna be the infamous snap.

Cole’s DP3
@@RS-ph7wnit’s so easy to tell😂
11th grade me was right! Now I’m 31 and Cole really is one of the GOATs! Still feels surreal !! My favorite artist is millions of others favorite ! This is back when he only had “who dat” and “lights please” on the radio !
For real bro!! I remember telling every & anyone who would listen that Cole was the truth & I wanted him to be successful so badly because his music had done so much for me & I could hear how hungry he was, so glad that he wasn’t overlooked & I have some other favorites that unfortunately didn’t have nearly as much success but I only mention that because I had such strong belief that Cole would make it. I’m 31 too & Cole’s still the truth, still can’t forget his “A Star Is Born” voice, knocked it out of the park!
Who gives af about that fool, ain’t nobody care if you “was right” 🤡 just shut up and enjoy the masterclass instead of bragging about something nobody cares about. You insignificant fool always claiming something. 11th grade to 31 years old and still a childish pick me idiot 🤡 oh wow look at that your favorite artist is others too…wow crazy, cool story bro… lame ahhh 🤡
It's crazy how many people have the same story and age and timeline with Cole I'm 31 now and I can vividly remember hearing Rise and Shine and thinking to myself this is the dopest rapper that I've ever heard for the first time at 17 years old.
Cole and Drake come up and good kid mad city Kendrick was a good era wish I could go back in time
@@ricardomontoya9228 facts!! These new dudes are cool! But Cole, Drake, Dot, Big Sean, Cyhi, King Los, and Childish Gambino all had to really put in that work! They are true masters of their craft! Just listening to how they crafted bars and made them stories and literal works of art! You closed your eyes and couldn’t fathom how they came up with this stuff! It’s slowly making a comeback! But that era is some of the last of a breed that died out! Now everyone has to have a gimmick! Here today gone tomorrow
Cole always give what you need to hear man. Taught me a lot through how you handled that whole situation. Hairs on my neck at attention listening to this.
From 3:13 to the end is masterfully crafted and amazing and full of quotables
"They see this fire in my pen and think im dodging smoke"
"I woulnt have lost a battle, I would have lost a bro"
"My friends went to war I walked away with all their blood on me"
"If you refuse to shoot the gun dont mean the gun aint deadliy"
~ J. Cole
That is powerful
The 2nd and 3rd one goes crazy
Kendrick was never his bro, J.Cole had love for a homie that never had love for him. If Kendrick had any respect for J.Cole he wouldn't have called him out his name the way he did, then after J.Cole's withdrawal Kendrick wouldn't have doubled down on it.
@TheSmackUNITthe reason Kendrick is even big in the first place was because of J Cole I’m pretty sure, he showed Kendrick to Dre back in the day and now he’s just ahitting on him
So powerful that Cole wants to still associate himself that has publicly groomed so many underage girls. Cole taking an L for this one, he doesn't stand on shit.
