Excellent bro, as always! So insightful, knowledgeable and clear. As a Mexican, we grow up with a totally different type of music so not until couple of years ago I got into this music genre, with your breakdowns I can understand some of the artist background stories and get in more depth into the lyrics of the tracks. Thanks for doing what you know best bro.
I really appreciate your talent/ability to 'catch the music as intended'. You are superb at this stuff. Best of blowing up to you I hope! Lol, my first youtube comment ever and also my first on a channel obviously. Great work, man. Also, been subbed and rung with you since the beginning.
just going through all your older videos. been watching for a while now maybe from when you started the kamikaze album but you have changed the way i listen to hiphop on a daily basis. always trying to find a meaning behind it. i admire your overall knowledge aswell. i dont have even half the smarts you do about music history you do so listening to you is like a music lesson but you do it in such a way that its very entertaining to watch. you also have a chill ass vibe. im glad you chose to keep your youtube channel instead of climbing the chain. always keep your energy bro cause you gonna keep growin. you just have what it takes and im more than sure you know that lol
That notification bell is getting on my last nerve. I have been receiving no notifications what so ever. Awesome video bro. I just had a Lagunitas IPA while watching your video lol
I remember this song dropped the night before I left reception to head to basic training. What a hell of a final song to hear before going dark for 10 weeks👌
I like how you don't miss small aspects of the lines, good shit! I've been watching your vids for a min and they are all consistent and accurate. You deserve way more subscribers bro and something tells me you'll blow up one day. Keep the consistency. By the way I'm latino and 28 (not too far apart). Keep the grind bro. Subscribed.
Perfection as usual. You should have way more subs. Also can you cover WS Boogie. His album drops tomorrow. This guy is clever. Eminem signed him, and he's new school enough to be interesting while dropping old school bars. I think he's special
I am Stan😇😅 i've been here for a long time. and i really like your channel. but now im starting to listen to j cole can you suggest me his best tracks. i' liked wet dreamz, middle child and 4 your eyez only is my favourite...
I have just subscribed. I love your analysis. I especially like how you don’t use the “N” word. The word is cultural although its origins derived in hate. My people still grapple with that as you can hear. Respect to you🙌🏾💯
I've been watching a bunch of your vids, but this is the first one I comment on because you mentioned your age, and it makes sense why you pick up on some of the older stuff that I wondered how you knew. You're definitely on point about our generations, though. My thought is that it's kind of rude to be on your phone and having a conversation because you don't fully pay attention to the person, but the younger guys at my job will do everything with one hand on their phone at all times it seems like.
😂 Yo I'ma Be Honest... My 1st Was Made In The 1st 5 Min Of This Vid... But When I Finished!!!! Yoooooooo This Is Hands Down One Of The Best Reactions To This Song By Far! Detailed, & Informing With The Breakdowns & Was Spot On! 👍🏿👍🏿
Just subscribed because I love the amount of effort you put into your edits even though you might not have the best edits. You’re putting in the effort and I like how you went into detail and actually listened to the song. Subscribed!
Bro! Awesome and on point , but did you notice that when he’s talking to the OG generation , he spoke to them lyrically and with bars , but to the new generation he spoke to them in auto tune cause they fuck with that and they resonate with that .. the whole is fuckin lit on how he talks to both generations
i'm with you, Smooth E !!! this was 🔥🔥🔥 on so many levelz ... this jcole is a lyricist, but he's kinda 'next gen' (yaimene?!?!?!) not unlike the logicz, hopsinz, kendrickz, seanz, and joynerz ... he is smooth in his own way (which iz commendable, considering all these copycatz in the game right now) gr8 breakdown/analysis (as usual ... fuego muchacho) ... what i really appreciated was the 'throwback' trak that he was spitting over ... it had an orchestral vibe on it, and it kept me engagaed (i'm a jazz head, at heart, but came up in the hip-hop era, ie ; breakdancing, clothing, culture), and the trak demanded attention (if u can relate to what i'm saying) ... i'm feeling this kid ... alot of his stuff iz hott ... thanx for dropping this one ... i'll keep the earz watching, and the eyez listening for the next Smooth E installment ... btw ... big upz to your lil' bro. (and the rest of your family, for that matter ... my best to you and yourz, sincerely) tranquility ✌ wl
@@TheThirdErnest yep, i can see that ... although i'm not the biggest fan of the Notorius BIG (i'm quite anal when it comez to clarity and diction, whenever someone iz spittin'), he got madd skilz ... so, Biggie, EricSermon, BizMarkie, and CraigMack (kinda), even though they are lyrycists, in their own rightz, i'm a stickler for quality in presentation ... this trak was 🔥🔥🔥 for sure question ... did u think he dropped a soft shot @KanyeWest ? (whom i have no love for) ... he seemed to reach out and touch quite a few ppl in the industry, while being indirectly direct, yaimene ?!😞 so, i was wondering what is your take on that thought ... once again, big upz to Smooth E, for another fuego breakdown para la cabesa !!! graciás, Señor !!! thatz all the Spanish i know, so don't trip me up, if you decide to reply ... 😄😄😄 take care, MuGuy ... i'll b waiting on your next exegesis !!! tranquility ✌ wl
crazy point about your own middle child experience. I'm the type of person that likes pictures (21 now) to remember stuff but totally agree that snapping etc during an event is dumb - and u wonder if they even care about the experience or just getting the clicks and fitting in?
When he said "i love u lil n****s, i'm glad that u came, i hope u know money know money won't erase the pain, i thought he meant that he is ok wit the mumble rappers, (lil n****s) of today, saying he knows it had to change, earlier, and that just bc they can flex the money they make doesn't make them a better artist. That is what i thought he meant. But it would make sense on your part
This has been my favorite track from J cole and ever since then, I realized how great his pen game is. Back in the day I remember somebody hated on my choice of music cause he said I liked “lyricist “ music instead of that party anthem bullshit music in this new generation of music. Was gonna say music artists but calling them artists is not correct lol
Okay, great video, but when he was talking about his car was dirty and his sneakers were dirty, he talking about people saying he looks homeless. He is saying don't worry about the way he dresses or the fact that his car is not spotless and to just get off his dick. He's saying don't worry about what he wears because he wear what he wants and he likes it. You can check out his lines in "AOTY" freestyle. He doesn't abide by the status that keeps niggaz inside of fabrics. He doesn't wear designer clothes and sometimes he rides his bicycle and rides the bus. He also has some just regular cars. The expensive car he bought for his wife years ago before he married her. Anyway, that's my take on it. I have researched him since 2013 and I used to write posts on him daily. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. I am a J Cole Senior Citizen Fanatic. Have a good one.
Ernest Arrellano I will. I come from a country music and rock background, so rap is new to me. I started on Eminem and I love him. I’m slowly starting to listen and love other artists like lil Wayne
Love your reactions, lyric breakdowns, etc., but don't blame "poverty", or the lack of money for the choices that some people make. There are more "poor" people in this world (including the US) than "rich"/wealthy people...way more...and yet, most of them manage to live a lifetime without intentionally spreading the suffering to those around them. Hell, poverty, for 99.9% of human history, has been the default setting. It's only relatively recently that some places in this world have developed a standard of living that not only exceeds the default for most of human history, but which also exceeds the highest standard of living just a few generations ago. Just like cheaters who say, "I was drunk/fucked up.", poverty is just a pitiful excuse used by those who are too weak to reject the temptation of easy and instant gratification.
Cole is on another level with the insight and interpretation of the ghetto culture. Reminds me of some of 2pac's songs especially For Your Eyes Only by Cole. I really want to hear you breakdown Caterpillar by Royce and Em!!! There are so many bars it will probably be a 30 minute video but will be worth it!!!!!
Damm bro, straight to point. How underrated is this reaction channel, seriously
Pamda Gaming APPRECIATE IT BRO. thanks for taking the time to watch too 🔥🔥

Perfection as usual. You should have way more subs. Also can you cover WS Boogie. His album drops tomorrow. This guy is clever. Eminem signed him, and he's new school enough to be interesting while dropping old school bars. I think he's special
Schwana Price thanks for being here! And I’m hype for boogie!! Will def be doing him

i'm with you, Smooth E !!!
this was 🔥🔥🔥 on so many levelz ... this jcole is a lyricist, but he's kinda 'next gen' (yaimene?!?!?!)
not unlike the logicz, hopsinz, kendrickz, seanz, and joynerz ... he is smooth in his own way (which iz commendable, considering all these copycatz in the game right now)
gr8 breakdown/analysis (as usual ... fuego muchacho) ... what i really appreciated was the 'throwback' trak that he was spitting over ... it had an orchestral vibe on it, and it kept me engagaed (i'm a jazz head, at heart, but came up in the hip-hop era, ie ; breakdancing, clothing, culture), and the trak demanded attention (if u can relate to what i'm saying) ...
i'm feeling this kid ... alot of his stuff iz hott ...
thanx for dropping this one ...
i'll keep the earz watching, and the eyez listening for the next Smooth E installment ...

Willie Lee my boy willie! J cole got his own swag. The others good but cole is so effortless. Got a biggie vibe in smoothness.

yep, i can see that ... although i'm not the biggest fan of the Notorius BIG (i'm quite anal when it comez to clarity and diction, whenever someone iz spittin'), he got madd skilz ...

this trak was 🔥🔥🔥 for sure
question ... did u think he dropped a soft shot @KanyeWest ? (whom i have no love for) ... he seemed to reach out and touch quite a few ppl in the industry, while being indirectly direct, yaimene ?!😞
so, i was wondering what is your take on that thought ...
once again, big upz to Smooth E, for another fuego breakdown para la cabesa !!! graciás, Señor !!!

EA best break down channel out there!! Fax A and Fax B!!! (That made me snort a little lol) I am a middle child...the struggle is real!😂😂😂😂
Deena Schilling aaahahaha that’s one of my favorite memes lmao. Middle child probzzzz
Also just the delivery is more towards the OG style but then he mixes it up with the auto tune and lean lyrics and the trap beat. Trumpet is fire tho

Don't you dare ever change in these shitty reactions channel. I know you don't, you too good in this shit. Respect.
