SteFan TasTic So what? J.Cole is signed to the same label as Kanye and they are both great rappers and producers. Sure his new stuff is pretty shit but even J.Cole acknowledged College Dropout as one of the greatest hip hop albums and he's got plenty more classic albums
Not sure if this was taken because you heard it, but Cole has said that in his first song - he was influenced by both Nas and Eminem and basically bit both their styles.
You are dumb. This was inspired by "Small world" by Nas. If it sounds like Eminem to you it's because Em jacked Nas' and Rakim's styles back then. Know your music
Yeah he literally says that on this song he was just " biteing off Eminem and Nas" he was a young kid and liked both artists so he used them as an influence.
Am not saying it’s not one of the best songs but Joey bada$$ waves Is one of the hardest song and he was 16 both going to go down in hip hop history legends but Joey is kind of slept on
+SpartanI99 I said J Cole listened to a lot of Nas and Eminem. It doesn't matter what age he was, what year, etc. Again, I said "he listened to Eminem", simply meaning that he has listened to Eminem before he was famous. Doesn't have to mean he did before he recorded this, just in general it's a style that you can hear in J Cole's music. Idk y ur getting heated bro.
***** And this was probably recorded in the year 2000. And although Eminem was a new artist back then, he was still very much relevant with the release of "My Name Is" in 1999 with many well known projects that were recorded in the late 90s. J Cole most likely knew about Eminem when he recorded this.
+King Steve and his voice sounds like Eminem it doesn't matter if two rappers had the same flow that dont mean they sound the same. and BTW nas sucks j.Cole is better than him and a better freestyle to nas is trash.
+son goku You're the most idiotic and fake rap fan I've ever chatted with.J cole worships Nas. He even has a song about Nas and he knows he's never gonna be that good. You're gonna say Eminem is good but Nas is trash? That is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard in my life. Nas has kept it real since the beginning and didn't change unlike Eminem who went from writing songs about killing people to love songs to his kids so gtfo. Nas is a better storyteller than Em, has better beats, a flow that's just as good, amazing freestyles, badass punchlines, etc. The only thing Eminem can do better than Nas at is freestyling. So GTFO of here kid. You clearly have no knowledge in true Hip Hop, cunt.
He has such an oldschool sound, thats why hes so unique now for the time he blew up, you can hear the nas and eminem and influence in his early style and how it helped shaped his unique sound later on.
I remember hearing this 2 year ago on datpiff on a group tape that had J.Cole in it...But I couldn't believe this was J.Cole! You already know this guy was listening to real emcee's during the time like Nas, Jay-Z and Eminem! I heard them three in his voice! An amazing storytelling song he mastered that shit when was just a teenager! J.Cole's already an icon! He's aiming to be a legend him and Kendrick! Them two really have a good resume on old tapes they done before the fame! They kept at it, all they have to do now is make that collab album! I swear that'll be the day I'm happy!
I came here cuz he said his first song he sounded like Eminem and Nas at the same time , cuz he’s a big fan but DAMMMNNN A 15 year old with a flow like this and bars like this 😧😧
Cole said in an interview that his first song was him literally biting Nas and Ems style. Idk if this is the first song but I can definitely hear Nas influence in this.
J cole was in my opinion one of the greatest back in the day lyrically and his flow was just dirty n now hes puttin out sh*t he was against back thn...wat happend to you J.. We.want the old you back
i cant believe e wrote this at 15... this song is better then 90 percent of the rappers nowadays... shit is fucking out of this world... he was right there with lil wayne
At 15, hes better than about 95% of today's entire rap game
Jacob Santos Tupac is the only one better than J. Cole
***** I mean I like Tupac more than J. Cole

To be that wise at 15. He was born to be a legend.

Brandon Mota I'm talking about you think he is one of kind. He is just a decent emcee
Dynamic Vision oh lol well you are probably right lmao I guess what I meant to say is he is one of a kind to me lol

Yea this song sounds like Stan by Eminem
TUTTI MAN I give that to hopsin. He has a better meaning in his raps instead of just hoes
Flow is so Eminemy.
Even the chorus.
He said he used to lookup to eminen and nas as his idol,, and he only rapped to their kind of beats

He’s been an amazing story teller since day one! One of my top three favorite Rappers of all time.
came back to listen to this classic in 2023 .legendary
The influence of AZ and Eminem is palpable. The flow is very Aziatic and the way of storytelling very Eminesque.

J Cole at the age 15 produce and make his own beat,the best thing he had great lyrics,
Young Prodigy for real
exactly what I thought
Prodigy of mobb deep?
“ You can hear both influences in that song.”- J Cole in a interview regarding this song and mentioned how Nas and EM inspired him.
