Damn i listened to him wayy back in February... God i never knew he would be this big... He is an artist... He is a rapper, this guy he's true, and isn't two faced. This guy will be big ima support him all the way, lets just hope he isn't in it for the money in the future... Hes Differerent.
Damn!! I only started listenin to J Cole on "2014 Forest Hills Drive", had to go way back to Born Sinner, Cole World, Warm Up, Come up Friday Night lights.... never knew this nigga was this sick!! He spits d realest shit rn
damn j.cole really gna save hip hop.. he spits real shit, iv heard most of his songs and every single one had me stuck listenin to his words. hope he dnt change his style like a alot of rappers. j.cole #1
how can 3ppl dislike? why do u gotta hate? hes music is pure. he sings with heart. Many "Rappers" out there just bs it. J. Cole keeps it real. If you don't like it, DON'T Watch it.
I love this song can i live...the last verse crazy,totally can relate ..back in the days it would be children burying there parents not its parents burying there children..crazy..
i don't think no matter what mixtape album or collab i cannot find a bad j cole song let alone bad verse. idc what anyone says to me he is the greatest rapper alive or dead atleast in my heart. Trust me i listen to artist ranging from, mos def, biggie, beastie boys run dmc, krs one, Eminem, jayz,nas you know the goats
Honestly, the way I think about it - this kid isn't the next Tupac, he's the first J Cole. This kid will be a legend in his own time; his style is all his own. Pac would be proud though.
respect hip-hop and respect music in general. damn people always trying to compare and relate artists. just let music live!! stop taken it so personal. every person has something to say in their work thats why they do it.
J. cole is now my favorite rapper, anyone who doesnt like him or respect him as a rap artist is truly just a hater ! he is very talented, shit, its out of this world i agree j. cole is RAP. he my bby && we have the same bday =Aquarius...very intellecual . J cole bby yu EVERYTHING =.)
when I was shot this song was playing on my mp3. it set in the mood for me so I was holding on to stay alive. I got to thank u J.cole for helping me to fight to stay alive I'm only 14 but thanks.
people would always ask me.....who is ur favorite rapper and i would always say kid cudi or wale or em or jcole cause i really didnt kno but iv been constantly listenin jcole for days literally and i finally realized he is my favorite this dude amazing
@MzKayBabesz True.Hip Hop iz mainly about the art of storytelling and creating emotion through beats,hooks,and bars dat people can relate to whether they know that emotion or not.Thatz Hip Hop.But it takes more than a rapper to create this.It takes an artist and nowadays the mainstream iz filled with RAPPERS.Thatz the problem.
Drake is good at making music that appeals to people and he knows what type of music the majority likes some of his songs have meaning but J cole spits real shit all the time.
I still return 14 years later
Life aint easy for everyone. But the search for knowledge and wisdom keeps use going.
Life is hard mentally and everything is meant to be ~ words from a poetic genius# Coleworld
This dude is amazing. The third verse is one of the realest that I have heard since 1996.
Poor dude he was young like 21 …

This dude can't be fucked with by no other artist. It's pretty much a insult when you compare him too other rappers.
intriguing
@Horus950 paris morton music, the resistance, fireworks were all pretty really

Jay Z flow all day!! Crazy.. i give it less than a year and Jcole will be known by everyone
