laderrious perry here’s the guy on every rap track that writes some random line in the comments to pretend like he understands what’s going on. What a buffoon.
Blake Allen he's woke asf. He keeps Transitioning. Even he said he hears his old shit and knows he can top it. He honestly reminds me of capital steez in a way.
THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF TRUE HIP-HOP.J Cole is bringing back tht real hip-hop with his flows. I get tired of some of the music today but I can listen to j cole all day,he is my favorite rapper of today.He definitely has the potential to be one of the best in hip-hop.
Can someone explain some shit... In relevance to nas, jay z and j Cole, who used the beat first. Which is the best version out of them and why would he laugh at this now? Was this bad?
It's not about the beat, it's about the line "I'm out for dead presidents to represent me" (money represents me). NaS first produced that line in his song "the world is yours", Jay-z later sampled it. During the NaS/Jay-z beef NaS called him out for sampling his lines, Jay-Z replied by saying NaS wasn't using that line correctly & you made a cool line, i made a cool song. J. Cole sampled it last.
This freestyle is absolutely fire!! I listened to logic's version, its dope, but lyrically he does not possess the punchlines and wordplay that Cole showed here, but Jigga's version will always be the best version of all.
+Shawn Campbell Facts. He called me pussy cuz clearly his vagina was jarred when I said logic's version wasn't as dope as Cole's lol. Logic slayed it, but he just doesn't have the same punchlines and wordplay as Cole
+Stackz96 waiting on a record deal that's never cumming like a priest, and black and white like a nun. Logics flow is dope af at the end when the beat cuts off too kinda sounded like Eminem.
I remember back when this had less than 100k views. I still get the feels listening to this. Old J.Cole was one of the best! but current J.Cole is still holding it down.
Jcole is my favorite rapper but, to say he's better than Jayz is foolish, he hasn't put in half the work that jay has put in yet, he's not as good a lyricist, and if he saw some of the comments some of you said about Jay, he would gag. He's also not on Jays level in terms of production. Cole knows all of this, I'm not saying he will never surpass Jay but he'll have to put in a hell of a lot more work
there is one sentence that disagree with from a whole other leve...."hes not as good as a lyricist" ... are you crazy? i actually think he is a better lyricist than jay...have you not listened to all his songs? the metaphors and allll that shit...dude youre crazy lol
TheMastaPlan They're both dope, the problem is Jay was in his prime in the 90's, and any songs from that era have a bit of a 'classic' aura hanging round then namma saying. Raps developed so much since then so you can't really compare the two
People starting debates and whatnot over who is the best.... tbh in this recent era of terrible pop music, we should only be grateful for the few great artists that are still out there.. jermaine, kendrick, different styles, but both on another level compared to those ymcmb clowns
Jay-Z fell off lyrically, but the original of this song is still better written than J.Cole's version. Also am I the only person who preferred part 1 of Dead Presidents? A shame that it didn't make it onto Reasonable Doubt.
Totally agree. Dead Presidents I and Dead Presidents II > this one. Dead Presidents I and II are imo best Jigga's songs. JayZ's flow on DP I and II >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>[...]>>>>>>>>>>>> Cole's flow
You can't put jay-z and j-cole in the same category ... Jay z is one of the best of all time but j cole is the best of the new school lyrically wise and then Kendrick
I can't believe the comments Cole better than Jay-Z? In his dreams. Jay-Z is at least top 5 and in my opinion the GOAT Cole is nowhere near that yet maybe after the work and consistency Hov put in over almost 20 years. SMH new rap fans.
You think Cole would make a Reasonable Doubt? Blueprint? The Black Album? have you heard Mr. Nice Watch? Hov absolutely obliterated Cole on that. Cole know he not as nice yet. I admit IMO when Cole is finished he could be one of the GOATs but right now he not on Hov level.
kmew94 Not many people would agree with you. Respect to you fighting for Jay Z. People are basing their opinions on Jay's last few albums, not the discography.
kcking23 Except Takeover was a better diss record, J.Cole said he wasn't better than Jay-Z, and Jay-Z is the GOAT. Need proof? Watch Nas thank God for blessing us with Da god MC himself Jayhova.
how could someone dislike this.. please come with more shit like this. real hip hop. dont need no singing. just a good beat and top notch lyrics. real shit real talk real music.
j cole is way better than Jay z now... jay z a sellout.... he lost his rap skills or his ability to make good songs. he only makes pop songs now... his albums fell off.. J cole is nice. and Kendrick isnt so nice.. maybe he has a few good songs, but for the most part he isnt that good. all his songs sound the same just like Tyga. j cole just has something he doesnt. thats maybe why J cole outsold him,
I would have to agree with you on that one mate,but you see the problem is j.cole is now in the industry and there is no room for postiive music and talrnt.as you can see,is mostly crap that comes out of the industry today,the lyrical rappers don't get the shine they deserve and to be honest they don't even have much creative control over their own music.if j.cole went independent,he would easily be running the game right about now
Brick Flair Lmfao i doubt it . You'll probably try to hit me with some 90's shit . but that's it . and NAH , Cole did not get "weak" . you're just one of those hatin ass niggas that come on youtube and specifically talk shit . Find something better to do .
You buggin... All of Jay's albums were bangers... Well maybe not the shits with him and r Kelly, but his solo albums were nuts... J Cole has a long way to go before he's on Jay Z's level...
+paul jenkins. ok if u wanna talk about who left a bigger mark and rap the Jay z all the way but I'm talking bout skill flow and lyrics. Cole wins...when it comes to that stuff jay z dosent impress me that much..jay z is only popular for knowing a lot of rich connects and being popular...tbh he really not that impressive of a rapper
+darius wadley im a big ass cole fan but i listened to old jay z and he honestly was killin the game back then he sounded boo boo at first but then his flow and lyrics are hella dope
Used to listen to this when I was younger and hungry to make it in this corporate game.. Fortunate to be where I am and listening to this again makes me feel that same hunger
RIGHT ! Lml ppl needa chill ... dam been 3 years since i heard dis ayyo kendrick lamar and jcole droppin a album together cant wait ! shit gnna be Firee

laderrious perry here’s the guy on every rap track that writes some random line in the comments to pretend like he understands what’s going on. What a buffoon.
laderrious perry you’re fucking stupid.
Lol thank god for that dude who said he didnt come hard enough on his first one
alex hamilton thank Gawd 😂😂
haha! I know right! I mean his first one was aite but he absolutely obliterated 2....and never looked back!!
J Cole absolutely killed this freestyle. Possibly one of the best freestyles of this new generation.
why J.Cole looking like he levels up after each album.
Blake Allen well he about to level up in a few days. For your eyes only is on the way baby!
Notorious B.I.G you're an idiot
Blake Allen 4 your eyez only was pretty good imo. I don't think J. Cole has ever dropped a bad album.
its his worst imo just like DAMN for kendrick you know what i mean like worst im saying they did better but not as bad as like lil uzi or migos shit
Blake Allen he's woke asf. He keeps Transitioning. Even he said he hears his old shit and knows he can top it. He honestly reminds me of capital steez in a way.
This is the first J Cole track I memorized...He SMASHED this whole song...

Fill it in

THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF TRUE HIP-HOP.J Cole is bringing back tht real hip-hop with his flows. I get tired of some of the music today but I can listen to j cole all day,he is my favorite rapper of today.He definitely has the potential to be one of the best in hip-hop.
Still here in 2019 !! Cole world No Snuggie
I dabbled in crazy weight ,
Without rap i was crazy straight,

He made this track into his own.
imagine lil herb on this song
+Chauncey Coleman Hell nah
Lol
why?
BIG TATER Hell no, hes trash
"Clever wit it, my flow like the devil spit it and heaven sent it
So high, if I drop I would fall for 11 minutes."
Damn
the hunger in his voice.. legendary
Kendrick and J Cole are untouchable in my opinion. They're poetry is top notch and they are sick rhymers with nasty schemes. Love them both
*5 Years Later* I wonder if he laughs at this
Can someone explain some shit... In relevance to nas, jay z and j Cole, who used the beat first. Which is the best version out of them and why would he laugh at this now? Was this bad?
+long2d He says it in the...never mind
+jj Gray lmao
It's not about the beat, it's about the line "I'm out for dead presidents to represent me" (money represents me). NaS first produced that line in his song "the world is yours", Jay-z later sampled it.

long2d 2:29 "in five years i'll probably laugh at this"
This is just pure as hell right here. I don't think anybody can match Cole, period, and I don't think anybody could do a better lyric on this beat.
No one pays homage for Nas making this sample
Jay did
nah nas did the part that says "presidents to represent me"
listen to the takeover by jay z lmao
Uncle Jrue then listen to ether by nas
+bigace89s what does ether have to do with anything here?
THE GROWTH FROM PART 1 TO PART 2 IS QUITE IMPECABLE J COLE IS A BEAST OF AN RAPPER
This freestyle is absolutely fire!! I listened to logic's version, its dope, but lyrically he does not possess the punchlines and wordplay that Cole showed here, but Jigga's version will always be the best version of all.
+Stackz96 have you heard Lupe Fiascos"s?
+Stackz96 Logics was just as dope you a puss brah
not upset just call it how I see it
+Shawn Campbell Facts. He called me pussy cuz clearly his vagina was jarred when I said logic's version wasn't as dope as Cole's lol. Logic slayed it, but he just doesn't have the same punchlines and wordplay as Cole

I see I’m the only real J.Cole fan #2019
1:14 HE SNAPPED 💯💯💯💯
I remember back when this had less than 100k views. I still get the feels listening to this. Old J.Cole was one of the best! but current J.Cole is still holding it down.
I love the original by Jay Z nobody can kill it like he did. Cole did good on this one tho
don't matter what year this is timeless
Bruh Jermaine you gotta chill
Love it when i listen to Jay, Lupe, then Cole version! One of my fav songs of all time
Baby nas
i think he keeps the classic rap into the present day media. him and Lupe Fiasco are the coldest rappers to this day
Some people probably think he made this beat
j cole is definitely gonna be legendary, he already sounds like such a classic artist, september 27th his album drops, expect big things from him
Jcole is my favorite rapper but, to say he's better than Jayz is foolish, he hasn't put in half the work that jay has put in yet, he's not as good a lyricist, and if he saw some of the comments some of you said about Jay, he would gag.

J. Cole is better
justtroy95 he is now
Yeah he's surpassed him as an artist now
been coming back and forth to this one for over a decade !

Minoxidil Journey ain’t got shit on Cole 😴
On a slightly different topic..
Mural- L U P E
Yo this gave me goosebumps.. J went in so hard with this man.. Really feelin his flow in this one.. This is hip-hop..
People starting debates and whatnot over who is the best.... tbh in this recent era of terrible pop music, we should only be grateful for the few great artists that are still out there.. jermaine, kendrick, different styles, but both on another level compared to those ymcmb clowns
J Cole is the most underrated undermentioned rapper in the game!
I like his verse a lot better than Jay's but both of them went in.
Dam you trippin.
Wilding !!!! Jay body this shit
I have listened to this 3 times in a row and am still so amazed. this shit is dope
Its funny y'all say logic dead president better than j.Cole but I'm not getting the memo cause his one is no where near j.Coles just to be honest
+Emanuel Eulls I actually liked logic a little more because of his final verse......
Exactamundo
Agreed
Both are dope. J Cole himself told logic that he made the best dead presidents tho
classic....this song really put me onto j cole 2 years ago
Idc what anyone says, this is better than Jay Z's.
I enjoyed listening to this guy way before he was J Cole. Bring Hip Hop Back!!!
Jay-Z fell off lyrically, but the original of this song is still better written than J.Cole's version. Also am I the only person who preferred part 1 of Dead Presidents? A shame that it didn't make it onto Reasonable Doubt.
***** You do? And what do you think makes this a better song?
***** Well, of course. I was hoping you would explain in more detail.
I preferred part one as well.
Cole got the lyrics and the punchlines, but J had the substance in his words that made dead presidents that song. Cole killed it tho.
Totally agree.
Dead Presidents I and Dead Presidents II > this one.
Dead Presidents I and II are imo best Jigga's songs.
JayZ's flow on DP I and II >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>[...]>>>>>>>>>>>> Cole's flow
"Ahead of my time like I lived my whole life backwards."
We all know jayz dead presidents was the best so relax yourselves.
Nas was better than Jay Z.
Doug Ransley Nas never made a dead presidents song, he only said the line!
Beast Mode cool story, Nas was and is still better than Jay Z
Doug Ransley Theyre both good tho
okennym95 nah logics one was the best then jay z
Best Dead Presidents and Damien Lilliard is cold too. J Cole's flow and subject matter is way better than every other version
You can't put jay-z and j-cole in the same category ... Jay z is one of the best of all time but j cole is the best of the new school lyrically wise and then Kendrick
AHEAD OF MY TIME LIKE I LIVED MY WHOLE LIFE BACKWARDS. CANT WAIT FOR HIS ALBUM IM COPPIN TWO OF EM
wow, j cole fucking annihilated this track
I remember hearing this for the first time back in 09 when it was under 100k views. Man does time fly!
destroyed this beat
Even though Cole has made so many great tracks the last few years, this one still is in my top 3. Cole World.
I can't believe the comments Cole better than Jay-Z? In his dreams. Jay-Z is at least top 5 and in my opinion the GOAT Cole is nowhere near that yet maybe after the work and consistency Hov put in over almost 20 years. SMH new rap fans.
dude its only a question of time.... because Cole makes better quality songs then Jayz.. its only a fact yo, analyze the lyrics
You think Cole would make a Reasonable Doubt? Blueprint? The Black Album? have you heard Mr. Nice Watch? Hov absolutely obliterated Cole on that. Cole know he not as nice yet. I admit IMO when Cole is finished he could be one of the GOATs but right now he not on Hov level.
kmew94 Not many people would agree with you. Respect to you fighting for Jay Z. People are basing their opinions on Jay's last few albums, not the discography.
kmew94 J.Cole has been compared to Nas since the Warm up and Nas is better than Jay-wack need proof? Ether.
kcking23 Except Takeover was a better diss record, J.Cole said he wasn't better than Jay-Z, and Jay-Z is the GOAT. Need proof? Watch Nas thank God for blessing us with Da god MC himself Jayhova.
how could someone dislike this.. please come with more shit like this. real hip hop. dont need no singing. just a good beat and top notch lyrics. real shit real talk real music.
Jay Z ain't fuckin wit Cole
Even J Cole would never compare himself to Jay Z.
one of the best. 💯
logic dead presidents 2 is better. this is fuckin dope tho
Your stupid as fucc lol
I think they both killed it
Majin how is he stupid? he is just giving his opinion smdh.
I agree but this is really good though
Stars&Dmnds jay-z still got the best one
this is one of the greatest beats and verses of all time
j cole is way better than Jay z now... jay z a sellout.... he lost his rap skills or his ability to make good songs. he only makes pop songs now... his albums fell off..

yeah, j Cole shit went hard... but to say he's better than Jay??? y'all smokin crack... lol
he is better jay z....don't get me wrong jay z is good but not as good as ppl say he is

+darius wadley im a big ass cole fan but i listened to old jay z and he honestly was killin the game back then he sounded boo boo at first but then his flow and lyrics are hella dope
Cole's flow and passion are ridiculously better than Jay's. Wordplay and double entendres, not really, at times he looks like a kid compared to Jay Z.
Used to listen to this when I was younger and hungry to make it in this corporate game.. Fortunate to be where I am and listening to this again makes me feel that same hunger
Dope, but JayZ's DP2 is far better
***** nah fam
MuffinKurry Nah JayZ's version is better fam.
to each his own.
kayla gaxiola You listen to JayZ's dead presidents 1 or 2 ? Theres 2 separate versions. 2 is far better
Cole's is better

My personal favorite version of Dead Presidents.
He really went in. Still hits hard in 2019
