J. Cole isn't the first rapper you think of when it comes to police raids but it happened to him on March 18, 2016. While the MC and his Dreamville Records squad was down in Austin, Texas for the annual SXSW Music Festival, his North Carolina studio was being raided by armed SWAT team members. The incident served as the inspiration for his song "Neighbors," from his 2016 album, 4 Your Eyez Only. The raid, which was captured on camera, shows 12 SWAT team members approaching the house and breaking through the door, with one of the officers disarming the camera that was recording the fiasco. Going off of a false tip by a neighbor who believed Cole and friends were growing marijuana or using the house as a drug den, the officers jumped the gun, resulting in one of the best rap songs of the past year.

@@Widow-Cicada his bread is different, truly cut from a different cloth. I wanna make make music like this, always thought of making music like this before finding about j. Cole Hopefully i elevate my music to greatness the way he did. Not even his best song either which is crazy… best artist to hit this earth
Hahah i smoke so much that the neighbours think i sold weed, they came over one day and asked if i sold some or had some for sale. I invited them to have a sesh with me and mid sesh i playing this song and we all pissed ourself. Will be one of the funniest memories ive ever had 😂 (my neighbours are 40+ and im 21)
This will forever be one of my favorite Cole tracks what a music right here a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took J. Cole oFf 2 da big leagues and fo dat I will always be super grateful
I ain’t back I here for the first time. Been slave to the grind til now. I’m here for the first time truly. Still grinding no longer a slav FREE LIKE BUY ONE GET ONE. TRUTH
I remember being super obsessed with this song when it came out. Not only the song, but the video as well. It was so aesthetically pleasing, filled with vibrancy, saturation, and color. Also to mention the creativity output and Forbidden Fruit being reversed. A production move I thought was done exceptionally well.👌🏾To this day, Neighbors is still one of my favorite J Cole songs.
That album fell on deaf ears for many especially following the 2014 Forest Hills Classic..... but when you come and listen to it thoroughly....... CLASSIC MUSIC!
I am old school. Hip Hop started while I was in high school. Therefore, I am into lyricists. This brother can "spit." I have been a fan for a while and this track is so dope (no pun intended).
I'm in SC. Over the years, I've asked my black friends who their favorite rapper is. J Cole is consistently in the top 3. I've always liked him, but this story crystallized it for me.
This track, this bass, this beat.... Man, the amount of chill it gives me.. The relaxation i have while i listen to this... Is the same as a damn day of hard work and making money, damn!
"Welcome to the shelter this is pure we'll help you if you feel to insecure to be the star you always knew you are" HITS HARD WHEN NO1 BELIEVES IN YOU AND TO OFFER SHELTER AND HELP ME BE THE STAR I KNOW I AM
Just came here to say Obama pick this song in 2021 summer playlist songs and the song starts off with him saying "Yeah, I don't want no picture with the president I just wanna talk to the man."
Dude im so high watching this that I thought it was legit, very well made, first time hearing this song and its fucking dope love the chorus and the lyrics and the beats hard as so smooth and chill
whats it about if nopt the weed selling? could you please tell me i really dont get it i dont even understand some parts of the song cause i am not a native english speaker
Kevin mbabu he bought a place for rappers to make music and since hes black and he has money the neighbors thought they were selling because of racial profiling
Don Homer its more about people's prejudices about black/poor people and integration in my opinion. And all this society pressure pushes targeted people to become two things : the opposite of what people expected from them to become, or dope dealers because they grew up in an environment that kept tellin em they would be it one day But that s just my interpretation from what I heard ("so much for integration"), I m French though
Of course the radio won't play this cause it's too real J Cole is being slept on let's get these likes way up cause he perfects his art he doesn't make music to sell he puts his heart matters I the world and realness. He's my favorite besides Kendrick Lamar # Cole World
I recently had a lot of success in life, have been taking care of my health and fitness, and was hitting some gas with some buds, listening to this song. I realized I've made it. I AM the man. And it's great to start giving back. This song captures this feeling for me, of like, "See mother fucker, I AM the man." God bless you all with your goals. Success is a great feeling, and it's only getting better. If you're humble and hard working, you're already there. Enjoy pot and brotherhood along the way.

This Song Is A Work of Art, A Masterpiece Produced By J Cole.
I heard this song yesterday on FM radio. I was grooving to it...then I heard the hook...I smirked and continued grooving. Love it!
Welcome to J cole world lol
I'm in SC. Over the years, I've asked my black friends who their favorite rapper is. J Cole is consistently in the top 3. I've always liked him, but this story crystallized it for me.
loved him since i first heard voice lyrics are always dope flow is always smooth
This track, this bass, this beat.... Man, the amount of chill it gives me.. The relaxation i have while i listen to this... Is the same as a damn day of hard work and making money, damn!
Took the words right out of my mouth this song just puts me in a good vibe Everytime
@@9twill_The beat is excellent with some gut wretching lyrics of the SWAT breaking into the house.
I love driving and listening to this..
Cole is really one of those MC's that gets better each year. 2020 and he's better than ever.
J.Cole forever !
This is so comfortable to hear...

J cole is so underrated. Legend👏🙏🔥
Its funny how hes so ridiculously famous that people dont listen to him cos they only listen to that u n d e r g r o u n d hip hop
Hottest Summer Jam. J. Cole is Representing the Carolinas to the Maximum

“ in the driveway there’s no rapping cars, just some sh** to get back & forth “
Making real raw music. Thats why hes doing well and his music sells. much respect.

Yes us too😂
0:07 this particular scene just whispers to you to never give up.
“Mf i am” gives me the chills every single time
this is the best hiphop track since like 10 years
This is the most underrated Cole song. I'm more of a Kendrick fan overall but this song just hits different in so many ways...
This song is dope... Its 2019 and i still get goosebumps when i hear this track.
Ok
Classic’s last forever 💯
This will ALWAYS be a top 10 rap song 🇺🇸
J the GOAT
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
If you realize the real meaning of this song isn’t actually about Jcole getting caught up selling dope then you’re a real one💯
didnt J say this shit was real life? his neighbors called the cops thinkin he was slangin.. 💯❗
whats it about if nopt the weed selling? could you please tell me i really dont get it i dont even understand some parts of the song cause i am not a native english speaker
@@donhomer8143 I guess the neighbors think hes sellin' dope
Kevin mbabu he bought a place for rappers to make music and since hes black and he has money the neighbors thought they were selling because of racial profiling
Don Homer its more about people's prejudices about black/poor people and integration in my opinion. And all this society pressure pushes targeted people to become two things : the opposite of what people expected from them to become, or dope dealers because they grew up in an environment that kept tellin em they would be it one day
But that s just my interpretation from what I heard ("so much for integration"), I m French though
J Cole is another vibe fr
Everybody who knows the story behind this song, deserves a like.
Yeah I feel you, beats kickin' wit ya flow
i love the song & video.
I’d say I’m a fan of J. Cole but never heard of this. Heard the beat intro and knew this would be a vibe.
Man, I'm coming back to this song in 2024. J Cole made this to last. This song will stand the tides of time.
Of course the radio won't play this cause it's too real J Cole is being slept on let's get these likes way up cause he perfects his art he doesn't make music to sell he puts his heart matters I the world and realness. He's my favorite besides Kendrick Lamar # Cole World
