His first flow had some old school vibes, his second flow had some new school vibes. I think it was a strategic move on his part, he is the Middle Child after all haha.
Exactly what I was thinking. I loved the first verse more because of his cadence and flow but his second showed his open mind and his way to be a Middle Child.
"Bas is next in line, the only test is time. If he play his cards right he's going to rest his mum, in the sands of Sudan where she'll rest her mind & finds peace knowing her son will be fine" ❤️🐐🔥🔥🔥
Don’t get to caught on the flow... it’s the rhyme scheme that’s wild on the second beat. You can tell that this was a lyrical exercise for him. He even ended his bars on the one count instead of the beat’s natural 4. That shit is exquisite!
The flow George doesn't like is what all the younger generation likes, but Cole so smart he spitting the most knowledge on that type of flow cause he knows the younger generations will like it and they getting game at the same time 🤧🤧🤧
Cole man literal legend, as much as he is appreciated, he is still unappreciated he is on the highest tier of any artist ever, as good as anyone whos ever done it. Respect.
"We do these breakdowns for people who are not from this country", thank you for doing exactly that! It helped me understand so many tracks and intricacies so much better with not only the base lyrics but also the hip-hop and historical background of some of these lines! And that in turn helped me get better at idetifiying and understanding such lines on my own with time. So thank you!
Maybe it's just me, but I love J Cole's flow like this. He always has content and bars, why not have them delivered in a bounce as long as it's not telling a serious story?
@@samdettman4962 same here too I loved that shit. I was like damn he needs to hop on beats like this so we get more flows like this 🔥🔥🔥. I love j cole’s input on newer and older flows
@@samdettman4962 absolutely i love any of his fast paced content, the album of the year freestyle, lots of KOD. the newest album is a little love imo, except for interlude really
thanks for explaining technical things in the lyrics for us guys who don't use English as their first language but still love hip-hop. much respect. the more the better I don't care if the video is 90mins long XD.
A lot of people didn't catch what he was saying aswell, if you take a myer briggs personality test it will show you your personality type, jcole is an INFJ which is listed as the rarest personality type in the world along with people like kendrick lamar, the INFJ type is often labeled as a walking contradiction, because they are Introverts, but the most extroverted introverts, they are highly intuitive like human lie detector test, they are also the most loving and genuine personality type, but they are extremely judgmental. So makes them come off as a "Walking Contradiction" Basically saying he was an INFJ which is one of the rarest people on earth.
Gotta see some Imdontai vids. That new Kendrick 6 minute diss is an hour long🤣 Every video from this drake Kendrick beef 40+ minutes. He’s mastered the art of rambling lmao
Thank you!!! I’m from Turkey and I absolutely adore the explanations on some of the bars I watch mostly your Hip-Hop reactions since 2-3 years and keep over explaining please! Hahahah
You guys are actually my top reactors. The way you guys go into detail of just overall explaining what you like & don’t like but also breaking down the bars. You guys always show the artist respect even if you’re not rocking with the song. I appreciate what you guys have done & are doing, salute 💪🏿
Too each their own. But that flow everyone does. That's what makes it boring and plain for me. You can love it. I can dislike that plain everybody flow.
No cap you lot got the best reaction videos specifically for rap on UA-cam: deep but quick analysis, banter, good vibes and your actually the perfect age to do these things cause you’ve seen different areas 👊🏾 Respect
“Out in queens with the fiends i’m your Highness” is such a good line. The double entendre of “highness” like a king or queen, and “highness” relating to the fiends getting high. ❤️🔥
@@scrhymn thats why i come here dawg, these 2 can stop as much as they want.. ive watched their reaction to folgers crystals a shit tonne of times and thats stop and go every 2 seconds
When u said that u over explain for the people there are not from this country, i was like, thats me! Thank you for that, thats why i love your channel. Big Love from Portugal!
Ya they need someone who is like them. Most people who do reactions don’t break down bars and literally just record themselves listening to music that’s it 😂😂
You guys are the only review channel that breaks down absolutely everything the bars meaning, the references, and even the history of the artist even if you don’t know the artist history you can explain the picture they’re trying to paint in their songs. It’s great don’t worry about making your videos too long you got that million subscribers cause you care about the meaning of the song.
Gotta respect the flow on the 2nd beat. To come in on a freestyle and flow with the speed, cadence and bars that he delivered was immaculate. I understand not liking that particular flow if it was one of his songs, but to buss it out the way he did on a freestyle was straight 🔥🔥
Damn no one talking about the "who gave the world more fire but got less reward" where Cole compares himself to Prometheus who in Greek mythology gave the world fire but got punished for eternity for it.
I fuckin missed yall. I get ya'll making moves on Patreon but for sure yall we're on my top 3 on youtube for a while! Glad to see ya'll though, hope we get 1 or 2 track reactions/reviews for the album though, Peace!
Just touching on how you guys said you go into depth for people not from the U.S that’s is 100% why I love you guys, I’m from down under and I can listen to a track and hear lines that I know should be fire but I just don’t get it as I’m not from the U.S hands down the best reaction channel. Big love from aus✌️
Maybe this just shows my age... but I LOVE his flow in that second verse. I know its done a bit much, but I just really enjoy it when its actually done WELL with great lyrics!!! It shows that you can have good bars AND a catchy 'trendy' flow.
“Gave the world more fire” line is referring to the Greek mythos and how Prometheus the Titan showed humanity the flame of knowledge and was sent to Tartarus for it
This is the first video I’ve watched from you guys. I love the commentary! Buuut.. coles flow on still tippin was brutal. No one else would do that because no one else would be able to pull it off as cleanly and lyrically as he did.
I personally put j cole above Kendrick. It’s so crazy when I think back and remember that first big song he had where he was like on the beach or an island or something. I remember seeing it and being like damn he’s actually a lyricist. Years later hes already a legend.
Just sending love really quick! I'll listen in to your videos on songs I've heard a million times just to hear what stands out to you guys and enjoy the energy you guys bring! Best to you both 😀
FYI i appreciate how you go into insight on lyrics for the outsiders. As a brit theres some stuff that flows over my head just because its US references
Obviously we all have our preferences, but that flow on Still Tippin was really something so dope. Not many rappers can take that beat and flow like that on it. I think he did that on purpose, just another example of his true talent. Crazy. Great review too! New sub
I missed so many bars in this freestyle and had to come here to watch this. Not only will they break down bars but people in the comments even get shit that they missed. This channel is so dope
I’d say Shawn Cee would be a good colab. He is able to really get in depth with music like y’all do and analyze it. He also has great knowledge of the game and gives great insight.
His first flow had some old school vibes, his second flow had some new school vibes. I think it was a strategic move on his part, he is the Middle Child after all haha.
Immediately thought of "Middle Child" on the flow on the second verse as well.
Exactly what I was thinking. I loved the first verse more because of his cadence and flow but his second showed his open mind and his way to be a Middle Child.
On point💯
So apt
He ain’t pick the flow, they did but they did it on purpose
"Bas is next in line, the only test is time. If he play his cards right he's going to rest his mum, in the sands of Sudan where she'll rest her mind & finds peace knowing her son will be fine" ❤️🐐🔥🔥🔥

“Hey let’s post this 4 minutes before Cole drops the album”
😂😂😂 rite
Yo if they dont react to it ASAP my relationship with them is boutta be rocky.
@@pittaaaabread check my comment bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭
RIGHT?!
They probably dropped it at the same time so that when people look up J. COLE or The Off-Season the video would come up cause its tagged.
Lyrics, flow, cadence, vocal tone. These are things that as an old school hip hop dude I appreciate and respect.
Don’t get to caught on the flow... it’s the rhyme scheme that’s wild on the second beat. You can tell that this was a lyrical exercise for him. He even ended his bars on the one count instead of the beat’s natural 4. That shit is exquisite!
And he's rhyming triplets internally and has a seperate rhyme scheme that hits on the one beats of the next measures like you said. Insane
@@jacobharris6746 ya feel me?! That’s some great pen work.
@@DLloyd-bb4wk he takes an overused flow and levels it up. Dope as hell

The flow George doesn't like is what all the younger generation likes, but Cole so smart he spitting the most knowledge on that type of flow cause he knows the younger generations will like it and they getting game at the same time 🤧🤧🤧
the "new" flow is getting kinda old. Almost everyone in the rap game uses that flow and has been for atleast 7 years. its outplayed

He actually rapped on that beat before on "the warm up"(till infinity ) but these are not the same bars which I respect he didnt cheat us
I really thought he was gonna have them skip that beat because of it
Which song?
@@derekgarcia7567 til infinity it's on the warm up the soul of mischief beat
I thought that was pretty dope. It reminds me of when he doubled back on dead presidents and bodied that shit.
And it wasn’t on the album like a lot of people expected.🔥🐐

The video took forever
You're not missing much. Album is a 5/10.
@Natty Getu I'd give KOD a 7.
@Natty Getu give it a second listen it’s like a 8-10 to me
The fact he made a track to 93 till infinity and can freestyle whole new words.
Yeah
That’s light wrk
Wait….do we really think this is a proper off the top freestyle? Absolutely fire regardless…..
@@cmphoto_ I do it's talent to freestyle and of course J. Cole has that. The beat made it that much easier for him to be confident.
@@cmphoto_ no it’s definitely not but still hard
Perfect timing. 5 minutes before the album drop😂😂
His new album is insane.. definitely classic.
J Cole man. He is so great. My boy Kendrick need to drop! Cuz as of right now Cole been on top the last 3 years Forsure!

The Fiends line was for Bas, he’s a rapper on dreamville from Queens and he calls his fans the Fiends lol
How can you not like this Cole flow !!
Bro I like this Cole flow 🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite J cole flows next to the aggression flow 🔥🔥
Y'all trippin that 2nd flow was filthy 🥵🥵🔥🔥
Very filthy
He doesn't need oxygen
Too each their own. But that flow everyone does. That's what makes it boring and plain for me.
You can love it. I can dislike that plain everybody flow.
@@aboutthat1440 the thing is he did it on a beat where everyone else would rap slow and made it sound hella good.
Nah you're trippin. Cole is a mediocre emcee
That second flow was so hard!!! IDK how you don't like it
Boom Bap Bargame is hard to beat depending on age or preference. The new flow was cool, in my opinion, but the old flow is priceless
@@gravestone93 as some one else commented he is the “middle child”. Both were great nonetheless.
It's just too boring compared to the first flow. I still enjoyed it, but prefer the first.

When cole first came out on his freshman era he was never acknowledged as he should have been they didn't even put him on top 10 list of best rapper
Literally been waiting for this reaction🔥🔥🔥
Fear of god is a high end fashion brand. Cole been nice 🔥🔥
I’ll take j.cole over any rapper. Showing your humbleness will gain my respect.
#1 beat that everyone knows even if they don't know the crew behind it. Truly TIMELESS
93 til infinity, my favorite beat in all of hip hop /rap
we need full off season album reaction. thank you guys so much been a Fan ❤️
This is the first video I’ve watched from you guys. I love the commentary! Buuut.. coles flow on still tippin was brutal. No one else would do that because no one else would be able to pull it off as cleanly and lyrically as he did.
