In college I hated my roommate but one night he played this song as I was trying to sleep. It was so deep I had to hide under the sheets of my bed to avoid being seen crying. We became the closest of friends afterwards.
I swear Omen is underrated AF!!! His verse is so cold and deep "I'm in the dungeon fam, I see low green" Cee lo green was part of dungeon family C'mon man the way he used that metaphor for the context of the song is too hard!!!
Moment of silence for the people's who didn't witness this era up close & personal.....Sad to say it but we'll never get this j cole again ever , thank god I witnessed the best of him already his vintage flow is undeniably timeless and UA-cam is the closest thing we have to a time machine be grateful 💯🙏🏿
Shit is classic now. Brings back so many memories. Back then I was honestly giving up on rap lokey. All I listened to was rap from my childhood and other genres. Then I just happened to see the video for Simba on UA-cam. Cole was walking through the streets and killing it. I searched for him on Datpiff later and found this mixtape. It literally made me have hope for hip hop.
I really hate that J. Cole isnt getting the recognetion that he deserves. In my opinion, J. Cole is definately is one of greatest rappers, dead or alive. -ColeWorld
"Man, don't let the city get'cha, fuck the horoscopes, know the ropes like a wrestler, if the bullets wet ya bet ya momma need a tissue, face on the front of our shirts, screaming we miss ya"
2021 now. When I first heard this song it was back in 2010. I looked high and dry for this song, since I’ve not heard it in about a decade. Certified classic when it slaps 10 years later.
If I'm being really honest, I love his Truly Yours trilogy over all. Not counting EPs though... 5. Sideline Story. 4. Warm Up. 3. Born Sinner. 2. FHD 1. FNL. That's just my opinion though.
Yoooo... when he said !!!"this is were the fathers ain't livin least not with us, might see around the city & won't even say what's up,"!!! That right there is some real ill Tupac type shit that hit me right in my chest!!! I see my biological around the town 1 or 2 times a year & he don't even realize that I'm his son if I was standin right in front of him...
Number one favorite track off FNL. I got so pissed when Omen performed this on the FHD tour and Cole ain't performed his part...then I missed the Dollar and Dream III tour in ATL....so....basically....I'll probably never hear the whole song live. *SMH*
That90sGirl310 i heard cole did the whole fnl tape at the secret atl concert that was a few days before the fhd tour date. i aint make both the concerts so count them lil blessings baby girl. at least you got to see the boi
not gonna lie, im not gonna say i was here from the beginning bc simply i wasnt... i discovered cole probably around the time the sideline story came out and been a fan ever since. listening to that album only made me even more curious and my love for him grew even more too. i sat down one day and listened to every song and album he has made. i appreciated him as an artist more. this mixtape was amazing and this song is underrated.
This track is phenomenal, the tune is fluid and his words are amazing. He's definitely among the best out and if he can keep it up, he'll be out for a LONG time.
obviously cole wouldn't try to steal a chorus from a legend and expect it to go unnoticed. he's paying respect to one of the greatest and this whole mixtape is fucking genius..thats almost as ignorant as saying eli deserved to win the superbowl
Ive been to 2 J cole concerts, one of which was 4 hours away in Erie PA.but on the real, I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A BETTER CONCERT! Im telling you, homeboy does his thing WITH NO HYPE MAN! he IS the hype! Omen came out in both shows, i was drunk as funk having the time of my life. lol if you ever get a chance go see him, do it. money well spent
In college I hated my roommate but one night he played this song as I was trying to sleep. It was so deep I had to hide under the sheets of my bed to avoid being seen crying. We became the closest of friends afterwards.
Lmao it be like that why did you hate him though
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Lmaooo
That’s beautiful
@@unorthodox_funbox lol
Edit: in 2020 I still stand by this statement. Friday Night Lights is the best mixtape of all time. Period.
any mood muzik>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
rjcmakaveli not even a comparison. I like Budden but this mixtape is incredible. Better than most albums released in the last 4 years
Kanye wests' Graduation, Late registration?
College drop out too
those are albums, not mixtapes
J Cole really spoke his basketball dreams into existence. If you find yourself here, be proud
fr thou he living out both his dreams
"I'm not as fast, I'm not as tall, but before I pass I gotta ball" Never giving up, thanks Cole
And few days ago he made pro debut Damn. Never give up 🔥
@@seriousone44 who?
@@tinyoo J Cole
Such a powerful bar man 😢
I swear Omen is underrated AF!!! His verse is so cold and deep "I'm in the dungeon fam, I see low green" Cee lo green was part of dungeon family C'mon man the way he used that metaphor for the context of the song is too hard!!!

Damn.... I wasn't even hip....💯

MobbVillain you listened lately?
@Black Mamba 4 Life sick
Doesn’t get old fr
This is my all time favorite j Cole song EVER!!!!!!
Fucking facts. Love this song to NO possible end
Yea this song touches those spots! 🥴
My favourite as well.
Same.
Same!
J.Cole felt that pressure from Omen. I bet that why there's a 3rd verse from Cole.
Fr😂he said hold tf on
Whenever i hear this song, it actually makes me cry on the inside, and even on the outside sometimes. Not many songs do that to me.
It’s so well crafted. There’s a beautiful poignancy in the production and then the verses just bring it home perfectly.
@@ShermanKyleand he produced this himself too
J Cole will remain one of the realest rappers, and he from my state.
Same for me nigga
Agreed
MultiLelde same
From nyc brooklyn and shit I agree
Hes from germany??
2023!!!
Friday Night Lights is a classic J.cole project. I still go back and listen to this.
“Friday Night Lights” is still as fresh as ever. Omen is undeniable on this record. Period.
That 3rd verse gives me chills everytime..
That piano tho !!
fax same bro im literally having chills rn
"You heard me say I was balin/bawlin I probably meant tears" ....I swear that line gets doper everytime I hear it
THAT LAST VERSE. THAT LAST VERSE BRUDDA!
Legendary.
This one of his coldest records ever!! I feel bad for the fans who don’t know about his music that’s only available on UA-cam
Came for this after the last ft😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Bring this cole now in 2024🙌
Omen bodied this on a different level
SSK Music Beats Omen is more lyrical than J Cole but ppl still sleep on him
@@rawyalty8424 i agree
Can you please listen and appreciate craftsmanship without comparing crafters damn it
I'm glad J Cole signed omen
People sleep on him because he doesn’t put out music. His own fault. I’m a big Omen fan but unfortunately there’s not much material to be a fan of
Love the tribute to PAC this guy knows the roots of rap that's why he is my favorite rapper of this generation
Nas of this generation
Him and Kendrick the best in this generation
Young Cole, Drake, Kendrick, Big Sean, Krit, Nipsey, Dom Kennedy…we had no idea who would last when they dropped
Ghetto Gospel right here man. Its crazy how few views this song has. One of the deepest J. Cole songs in my opinion.
Such an excellent mixtape... Should of been an album
Nina Davis it was supposed to be an album, but the label was on bullshit
Blame it on Jay-Z
Hell yeah, it's a classic.
JayZ was hating Cole would surpass him he know this was gonna blow
2024 People Like This

+tghetto5 Lol. That's exactly how I found this mixtape. I had a mad love for hip hop for a while before this. I'm just old now.
Congrats jermaine you finally balling in Rwanda for the Patriots in the BAL 🏀🏀🏀🏀 🌍
I really hate that J. Cole isnt getting the recognetion that he deserves. In my opinion, J. Cole is definately is one of greatest rappers, dead or alive.
-ColeWorld
How you feel now? He definitely is now
🫡
🌟🌟
My gosh I love his reference to Tupac's Hail Mary.
"Before I pass, I gotta ball..." and he did 💯🥶
ill never get tired of playing this song...and i can never just play it once
You....have really good taste ma'am :)
JTBS thnx :)
"Man, don't let the city get'cha, fuck the horoscopes, know the ropes like a wrestler, if the bullets wet ya bet ya momma need a tissue, face on the front of our shirts, screaming we miss ya"
God damn that last verse is legendary
2022 and watching everything Cole accomplished can’t help but feel proud for the guy. All love
Fucking underrated
+ReachCarter The fact that this vid ain't 100 mill juss shows that hip hop is dead
I had this on repeat for 2 hours daily '11
the fact that Cole's list viewed song is Work Out says a lot
2021 now. When I first heard this song it was back in 2010. I looked high and dry for this song, since I’ve not heard it in about a decade. Certified classic when it slaps 10 years later.
5/6 years later and omen's verse is still one of the realest things i ever heard
name Fr though!
10 years later, still real
Who else still have this as there favorite jcole song in 2016

One of em for sure...
*their
Ricky Pryce 2017

people in this generation will never understand this type of j cole 😢 song is so deep man how can you not include him in the top 10 !!!
j Cole's best mixtape/album. and the best song right here
This would of been his best Album
Bitch ass Jay Z
+David Mac Stop it
I agree, Friday Night Lights was the best thing hes ever released. his studio albums outside of Forest Hills have been terrible
+David Mac and even that was good
If I'm being really honest, I love his Truly Yours trilogy over all. Not counting EPs though...
5. Sideline Story.
4. Warm Up.
3. Born Sinner.
2. FHD
1. FNL.
That's just my opinion though.
The devil buying souls no refunds one of my fav lines everrrr
Still one my favorite j cole songs ....🙌🏾. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years
Yoooo... when he said !!!"this is were the fathers ain't livin least not with us, might see around the city & won't even say what's up,"!!! That right there is some real ill Tupac type shit that hit me right in my chest!!! I see my biological around the town 1 or 2 times a year & he don't even realize that I'm his son if I was standin right in front of him...
2011. Nostalgia. All time favorite project
This man helped me thru my teenage life. He helped me thru my hardest times. Still does it to me.
This was my favorite fucking song off Friday Night Lights. Omen killed it. J Cole with all the hunger in the world. So damn clean.
One verse after another trying to body eachother. True hiphop
agreed ! 😆🙌
The song that made me take Cole serious and made me a fan 🙌🏾🔥
This mixtape and The Warm Up have made J. Cole 1 of my favorite MCs in the game, along with Em, Lupe, Tip, Wale, Big Sean, and Diggy.
tupac Would be proud
I’m from CLT NC this song saved me J.Cole is just different I almost crashed out then I came across this song changed my life 😊
Number one favorite track off FNL. I got so pissed when Omen performed this on the FHD tour and Cole ain't performed his part...then I missed the Dollar and Dream III tour in ATL....so....basically....I'll probably never hear the whole song live. *SMH*
That90sGirl310 i heard cole did the whole fnl tape at the secret atl concert that was a few days before the fhd tour date. i aint make both the concerts so count them lil blessings baby girl. at least you got to see the boi
Yeah I went to FHD tour in Atlanta and I just wanted him to do alllllll of FNL 😭😭 I was so upset
+That90sGirl310 Yea I missed dollar and a dream 3 as well. Maybe one day he'll do it again...One day! lol
This song gives me chills its classic
Undeniably one of my favorite Cole tracks. In consistent rotation. Omen is so ill on this record. *Vibin'*
"Who wrote the scripts here?" I felt that 💯💯💯💯
This song takes me back, I love it so much
Cole is still good. from back to FNL days till now. He still raps hope, love, and realness. He didn't change just evolved and had fun doing it
not gonna lie, im not gonna say i was here from the beginning bc simply i wasnt... i discovered cole probably around the time the sideline story came out and been a fan ever since. listening to that album only made me even more curious and my love for him grew even more too. i sat down one day and listened to every song and album he has made. i appreciated him as an artist more. this mixtape was amazing and this song is underrated.
J cole did ideal movement to feature Omen, They both killed this track to perfection.🤴🏾🤴🏾
Damn something keep pulling me back to this mixtape . Shit been with me since forever.😌🙏
THAT LA LA LA LA SHIT WAS CRAZY HOW HE DID IT TO THE MELODY GODDAMN
Who here in 2020! This is J Cole best album (including the Warm Up) but in my opinion... it's one of the best albums of all time!
Enchanted, 2Face, Very PowerFul!!
I love the message on this .. Omen had me so badly the lyrics damn , gave me hope!!!! Love you Omen !!!!!!!!!!
For real, one of my favourite songs of all time.
This track is phenomenal, the tune is fluid and his words are amazing. He's definitely among the best out and if he can keep it up, he'll be out for a LONG time.
Mmm mmm mmm. I can't stop hitting the replay button on this one...
this is one of my favorite songs of all time
This song alone made fnl easily the greatest mixtape of last yr...beautiful. Cole World!
Dear Jermaine Cole. Thank you
my shit till this day. Can't go wrong with Cole
Using the Hail Mary hook dope af.
a true lyricist right here. I have too much respect for this man
top 3 cole song of all time and it's not 3 or 2
This song is fire. Not his number one song ever though.
I say easily top 10. Debatably top 5 too
2022. This mixtape got me through hella rough times back in the day.
This is my favorite J Cole song..and Omen outshinned him
Stoppp
Ima say a tie lol
obviously cole wouldn't try to steal a chorus from a legend and expect it to go unnoticed. he's paying respect to one of the greatest and this whole mixtape is fucking genius..thats almost as ignorant as saying eli deserved to win the superbowl
The devil out here buying souls nigga no refunds, one of the realest things I ever heard
Brings back memories to 2010. By far my favorite song by J Cole. Friday Night Lights is my favorite work by him.
I love the hook in this song
2pac hail mary
Hideotic Yeah, I know
Just making sure lol
2pac song
2021 and it's like fine wine!!
It just upsets me that this has 447,789 views
Can't blame the brudda when he turns pop full time

Alex Baez happened when sideline story came out. been wack ever since.
his best work is fnl and warm up
Jsalcedo23 youre a booboo ass fan FOREST HILLS DRIVE was great work. look at what hes doing with the dreamville too, niggas just stay hating
Alex Baez nah Born Sinner and 4YE is great. FHD too basic. However a couple songs on there are brilliant
Seeing all the wrong predictions 10y later is funny asf man
Oh my God, I get goosebumps listening to this still to this day....the very best of J.cole
J cole and omen don’t miss
Ive been to 2 J cole concerts, one of which was 4 hours away in Erie PA.but on the real, I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A BETTER CONCERT! Im telling you, homeboy does his thing WITH NO HYPE MAN! he IS the hype! Omen came out in both shows, i was drunk as funk having the time of my life. lol if you ever get a chance go see him, do it. money well spent
This song was confirmation j.cole was and is a rap icon
he's lyrically on the level pac & nas were in the 90's a true poet
Omen's part is so real.
He snapped here
hunger on hillside reminded me of this song
Still jamming to this masterpiece in 2020 😔👌!!!!!
"This is where the fathers ain't living ,at least not with us" If I ever become a father I promise to be a better dad.
This guy right here is fucking genius! No doubt he is gonna do amazing things , he is probably one of the few rappers that actually spit with soul
Damn
My favorite J Cole song straight 🔥🔥
Favorite rap artist out of all of them. Cole hits I'm everyday issues. I love him
This instrumental is so fucking nutty I'm astounded
2020 COLE THE GREATEST IDC
friday night lights should have been his album...damn label but cole is still the truth
Dear J.Cole thank you for this mixtape. It got me through High School 🙏🏽
Last verse is fucking masterful. God damn Cole fucking World!!
