ppl will flame on it even more if he made a track like this...although it is a "j cole way of response". The response wouldn't really sound like a response, and even if it was taken that way, it would sound as though he doesn't really think Kendrick is anything of a competition even though its the big 3 thing. in end of the day, Cole shouldve just not responded OR just rap rap just straight try and bar for bar take out Kendrick with emcee skill. I mean if there is nothing to ctritic without making it personal or knowing its complete cap bs, might as well showcase your lyrical skill alone in the diss.

Predicting Kanye, who has always acted crazy, would act crazy is not telling the future. Anyone in the past 10 years could tell u his mouth would get him in trouble as it’s the next best thing he’s known for outside of music lol.
That would honestly be given a warm welcome and be much appreciated, we need more of that. I feel like modern rap is just meaningless words put in front of a beat. Often, the rap is complete gibberish.
Crazy how Ye never learnt from this. 6 years later and we still keep coming back to this song every year and relating to the meltdowns a brother having
Ye is still Ye..But unfortunately the more successful you get the harder it gets..Ye the top of the top and from my perspective id never want to be that famous or wealthy.I appreciate a normal life more watching Ye.
@@Hermosa_rosa_blanca yeah that's facts but you know its easier said than done.Heart break is a mfer but when you have kids involved you gotta just accept the fact she doesn't want to be with you anymore and life will go on.Take care of the kids and leave her alone.Im sure she's doing vindictive stuff as well but forget it.
@@Hermosa_rosa_blanca right agreed..I know its hard for both of them because they both are tmz magnets so one will always have to see the other in some form or fashion.That could make it difficult to heal for both.
Kendrick and cole brought me to God. Which in return kept me from killing myself and never realising I'm an artist. I use to know I loved art as a kid, , but I forgot all about it completely repressed my child hood from the abuse and pain I received. I'm proud to say I'm out here shadowboxing demons and staying loyal to the most high. In Lord Jesus Christ's name I fight and stay. Chuchhhhhhhhhhhh! God bless

T Lo I more mature then you so I don't feel the need to curse and rage at you but I meen that if you do a rhyming poetry it has to rhyme and he does this half the song then stop then goes again and that wouldn't be considered poetry anymore and also you need help if you feel the need to curse people out on the Internet

It's time to put J Cole in that convo when we talk about the best to ever do it. No gold, no ice, no women twerking, foreign cars. Just straight bars. Talent doesn't need gimmicks.
@@jayyy1677 Cole has some of the most memorable bars ever such as "American hypocrisy oh let me count the ways. We came here seeking freedom and end up owning slaves!!"
nothing wrong with showing off success after going through rough times making it big. Sometimes people just want bangers to bump too with simple lines that have a lot of substance. Sometimes people want no substance at all and just want to bump to nonsense. Kinda dumb you would inconvenient yourself to take a bus when you have the funds not to. Thats not real, that's an image youre trying to go for. Rap is evolving and if you think new rap doesnt have substance then youre mistaking.
3:54 expresses his humbleness ... one of the richest rappers in the world gets happy when a simple man repeats his lyrics. Amazing. We don’t deserve coles music man. Legend.
I grew up with an absent father, not that he wasn't there at all, but mentally he was completely absent. I never felt genuine love from a father figure who wanted me to do good, until i really started to listen to J.Cole. I don't even know him, but i feel like he's speaking directly to me sometimes. And that's all i needed. Thank god for the internet, and thank god for J.Cole, cuz without him, i'd probably be still doing drugs.
Damn bro. That's so inspiring man. Glad you got clean bro. I hope you're still doing well man. I'm sure our story's are a little different of course, but I feel the father thing. I never got deep into drugs, but I don't talk to half my family anymore cuz of family drama that I like to stay out of now for my mental health. I had some of my best friends who got hooked on that shit and screwed over by "friends" who didn't really care about them. I don't wish that on nobody. Hope you're doing well homie. Much love ❤️ 💪
It's crazy how every single line applies to the way I look at an artist that was in my life, he used to be my hero. Every bar has so many universal truths about talent falling from grace.
For me in films, I always wanted to be better or as good as some directors, after I heard j Cole, I understand different shit and my knowledge in philosophy got me to think about the situations that are truly terrified to me, I am no longer looking at anyone, but my self and inspiration is there, but is all about my self now. J Cole is the only rapper I listen to, his story telling skills are on another level and most have message.
The stories of a regular small town nigga from Fayetville, NC, who went to NYC, graduated college, and somehow manage to get sign by Jay-Z. Went through the highs and lows of fame and somehow manage to stay true to himself and those close to him. You gotta love this man. Jermaine Cole.
But fam have you heard that one song called 1 night by lil yachty that shit was fire talkin bout his hoes and how he can't have no wife! He the realist one out there fam!
@@As-cy3td In my opinion he really won though. Rap disses are petty, corny, edgy and you are willing to be covered in dirt just for what? You lose your dignity and both Kendrick and Drake lost theirs, it's that simple. In war there's no winner, both sides lose something
Free thinking is not voicing thoughts on serious topics based on no info other then you want to say the opposite of what people think you would say. Free thinking is having adequate knowledge of a subject a voicing opinions based on what you think about that subject after having a clear understanding of it. Which Kanye does not he has been qouted saying his words are based on feeling not thought.
Holden Taylor just cause u have a thought dont mean it was free he just got out of some kind of mental jail been there for almost a year getting god knows what done to him all cause he warned us about radio station owners and other higher ups(that is real free thinking)smh why choose to live in bliss and regurgitate what the mainstream is saying instead of using your own mind to think for yourself
1:26 - 2:31 this verse is a prophecy for every young artist out there tryna make it and it is also a great reminder to always stay true to yourself and to not have your vision blurred by the everyday drama…….
@@aditichatterjee3056 Lol nice joke. Even most A list celebs in the world don't make that much. Also India is literally in Asia. Lmao you sound & type like one of those online scammers lol
That second verse is actually kinda beautiful knowing what cole just did... definitely embarrassing when it comes to the battle but at least he was true to himself
Nohe Meza fits the theme of the music video a lot better than a benz. Im not trying to argue though only J. Cole and his buddies know, you could be just as right.
That's A-F-R-O... best known for winning the "Definition of a Rap Flow" contest in 2014 and then making national TV... Too bad, he hasn't done much as of late :( ruclips.net/video/J0rdjMjBa4A/видео.html
@@soggynuts9891 you looked twice though, didn't you! Hah! I still think a lot of the facial features, plus the hair he had in 2016 all kinda added up. But maybe not :)
What a classic. To truly understand this song you have to experience this in first person. Every bar so relevant and timeless. Now that’s Astro-Projecting from NC to the world. Well Done J Cole.
This use of colours is like a acid trip, the bright purple and neon green , basicly the whole neon spectre brings back memories, not sure if it was on purpose but I dig it. Great job J. Cole I'll be coming back to this for a while.
I'm a 90's hip hop head.. I definitely mess with J Cole, He'd be a Native Tongue member if he were on back then. Thanks for keeping hip hop alive J Cole
He's so real, unfiltered and honest. His bars always make you think. You can clearly understand him and what he's saying unlike future and those other ppl. His music always gets better ❤️🔥 he was clearly talking about Kanye btw lol 😂

The colors were made to prove a point that color doesn't matter! Looking like oompah loompahs because focusing on color is fake! We're all the same going through the same struggles.
Is it just me or J. Cole always makes best music videos, it's so simple and good..Really smooth instrumental, really good flow, really good lyrics, I love J. Cole..One of the best (if not the best) rappers these days, I really hate mumbling rappers and I cannot understand how anyone can listen to them, yet they are making millions of dollars, damn..
Hey looks like another white suburban middle schooler discovered hip hop last week and has it figured out already! Good for you, you pristine-taste-having-zit-bag!
The reaction to his apology highlights what he’s saying on this track. People idolise rappers, their music becomes a big part of life, and they almost become an extension of yourself because you can relate to it. He’s telling people not to because eventually they will do something that disappoints you. Self awareness is what sets Cole apart. & that Kanye meme was off the mark if you want a real woman 😂
God’s plan is real though! It may seem like somone else’s plan but god himself implanted the ideas and gave the signs necessary for all actions to be done. For he is all knowing and always wanting us to perfect our crafts so that we may answer his call when the time comes!

Yeah, Cole spits that fyah! Listen to Curren$y, he puts out some bangas!
+El Hajj Malik El. and he's the type of dude who fucks with everyone,he has a car was slash anything you need done to your whip shop,i have and 87 Chevrolet Cutlass with hydros 13' dayton knock off's,i took it to his shop cause i ordered some new tires for the rim's and currency happened to be there when the tires came in,and they were putting them on for me,dude loves cars we went over my whole car,then i asked him if he wanted too smoke,then he asked me if i wanted to smoke some of the shit he had we chopped it up for about and hour, i bet currency is the most down to earth person in the rap game,he didn't let that money fame and all the other stuff that comes with being a famous rapper go to his head,he can come back to his hood unlike a few people we know from new orleans unless it's with a hundred police,i'm doing pretty good in life right now, i swear i wouldn't never sell out where i couldn't never go back to my hood a without police.
I know right? gotta luv it!
TIMARIO SUPREME real rap does not copyright some other rappers instrumental

It's time to put J Cole in that convo when we talk about the best to ever do it. No gold, no ice, no women twerking, foreign cars. Just straight bars. Talent doesn't need gimmicks.
It's been time like BEEEEEN time and take drake wack ass out
💯
People will never admit it and always invalidate him though
@@jayyy1677 Cole has some of the most memorable bars ever such as "American hypocrisy oh let me count the ways. We came here seeking freedom and end up owning slaves!!"

J cole is so real he still takes the bus everywhere
nothing wrong with showing off success after going through rough times making it big. Sometimes people just want bangers to bump too with simple lines that have a lot of substance. Sometimes people want no substance at all and just want to bump to nonsense. Kinda dumb you would inconvenient yourself to take a bus when you have the funds not to. Thats not real, that's an image youre trying to go for. Rap is evolving and if you think new rap doesnt have substance then youre mistaking.

Mad Max I fell asleep he’s trash
The first verse hits harder than ever before
Everytime kanye talks, i return here
aged really well after vultures 1 and 2
Ok
J cole aint never lied, bruh
Not one time…
Crazy how this song hits much different then it did 5 years ago😢 Hope Ye gets the help he need ….
Wym? This song was always about Ye, even 5 years ago ppl commenting about Kanye, nothin changed
hits the same way...
man FOR REAL
holy shit cringe
aint nun wrong with ye he doin it on purpose to get out the deal .
3:54 expresses his humbleness ... one of the richest rappers in the world gets happy when a simple man repeats his lyrics. Amazing. We don’t deserve coles music man. Legend.
Mwbeast03 its just a music video
funky it’s deeper than that. Go back and listen to lil pump or something

J Cole the greatest

Barrrrrrrr😭
I grew up with an absent father, not that he wasn't there at all, but mentally he was completely absent. I never felt genuine love from a father figure who wanted me to do good, until i really started to listen to J.Cole. I don't even know him, but i feel like he's speaking directly to me sometimes. And that's all i needed. Thank god for the internet, and thank god for J.Cole, cuz without him, i'd probably be still doing drugs.
You put my exact experience into words my man
Damn bro. That's so inspiring man. Glad you got clean bro. I hope you're still doing well man. I'm sure our story's are a little different of course, but I feel the father thing. I never got deep into drugs, but I don't talk to half my family anymore cuz of family drama that I like to stay out of now for my mental health. I had some of my best friends who got hooked on that shit and screwed over by "friends" who didn't really care about them. I don't wish that on nobody. Hope you're doing well homie. Much love ❤️ 💪
Y'all have me in my feelings early.
Doing drugs, listening to Cole 😂😂 hits hard still
💯
It's crazy how every single line applies to the way I look at an artist that was in my life, he used to be my hero. Every bar has so many universal truths about talent falling from grace.
For me in films, I always wanted to be better or as good as some directors, after I heard j Cole, I understand different shit and my knowledge in philosophy got me to think about the situations that are truly terrified to me, I am no longer looking at anyone, but my self and inspiration is there, but is all about my self now. J Cole is the only rapper I listen to, his story telling skills are on another level and most have message.
@@xingincool9672 how's your journey within going bro?
The stories of a regular small town nigga from Fayetville, NC, who went to NYC, graduated college, and somehow manage to get sign by Jay-Z. Went through the highs and lows of fame and somehow manage to stay true to himself and those close to him.
You gotta love this man.

J Cole is the greatest rapper of this generation. There is no discussion
Much Discussion Lil Yachty is better!!!
jbagz No way. They're not even on the same level
But fam have you heard that one song called 1 night by lil yachty that shit was fire talkin bout his hoes and how he can't have no wife! He the realist one out there fam!
X X X I said of THIS generation. Meaning from 2000 until now. Pac and Biggie and Nas are better than him but they are not in this generation.
X X X Who's better than him from 2000? Give me some examples?
Looking back on this song 3 years later you realize every single one of his words are true. Cole is a prodigy and no one will top him.
That's a lie
This guy reminds me of cole fr:

You won Cole 🥇
Yes. He won a participation trophy 🏆😂
@@As-cy3td In my opinion he really won though. Rap disses are petty, corny, edgy and you are willing to be covered in dirt just for what? You lose your dignity and both Kendrick and Drake lost theirs, it's that simple. In war there's no winner, both sides lose something
@@Γειασας-ρ3ωHe won for being a 🐱? LMAO yeah aight
🤣🤣🤣🤣@@As-cy3td
@@Γειασας-ρ3ω I don't think yall would be saying that if cole won to be fair
Wake up Mr. West!
LeGod James wake up to what exactly? Thinking freely isn’t a bad thing..
Free thinking is not voicing thoughts on serious topics based on no info other then you want to say the opposite of what people think you would say. Free thinking is having adequate knowledge of a subject a voicing opinions based on what you think about that subject after having a clear understanding of it. Which Kanye does not he has been qouted saying his words are based on feeling not thought.
Holden Taylor just cause u have a thought dont mean it was free he just got out of some kind of mental jail been there for almost a year getting god knows what done to him all cause he warned us about radio station owners and other higher ups(that is real free thinking)smh why choose to live in bliss and regurgitate what the mainstream is saying instead of using your own mind to think for yourself
Someone missed the reference completely.
Skeez Money nothings never promised
You can't hate j. Cole and claim to understand hip-hop 🙇♂️🐐💯
For real these people say he’s boring and talk instead of actually trying to sit down and trying to understand the word play and lyrics
@Nugget wait are you saying I’m replying with hate?
Trust me I can
most overrated rapper of this generation
@@kevinkalibar4443 who ?
“You can’t wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.”

This dude is worth 18 MILLION and hes on a bus. Thats humbleness at its finest.
It's also a music video, he probably rides in nice cars all the time.
ting it's a music video
Dividend that might be true but what rapper goes on a Bus for A music video instead of a benz
Nohe Meza fits the theme of the music video a lot better than a benz.
Im not trying to argue though only J. Cole and his buddies know, you could be just as right.
ImDarrylSmith Probably his bus
Only the real ones know this beat is from Joey Bada$$ - Waves

What a classic. To truly understand this song you have to experience this in first person. Every bar so relevant and timeless. Now that’s Astro-Projecting from NC to the world. Well Done J Cole.
This is more relevant than ever
This use of colours is like a acid trip, the bright purple and neon green , basicly the whole neon spectre brings back memories, not sure if it was on purpose but I dig it. Great job J. Cole I'll be coming back to this for a while.
Watching while in a trip is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm a 90's hip hop head..
I definitely mess with J Cole,
He'd be a Native Tongue member if he were on back then.
Thanks for keeping hip hop alive J Cole
This song is a remix of the one by Joey Bada$$, called 'Waves'. If you like this, you should definitely check Joey out!
@@LimboGargoyle exactly.
Same
@@LimboGargoyle Joey is amazing too. Cole and Joey both heavily slept on and it's sad.
M N B Cole is a multi platinum artists with a record label he is not slept on
This so will forever live on
He's so real, unfiltered and honest. His bars always make you think. You can clearly understand him and what he's saying unlike future and those other ppl. His music always gets better ❤️🔥 he was clearly talking about Kanye btw lol 😂
He did an interview with HardKnockTV discussing the clarity of his music.
He was talking about Kanye West and Wale in this song and a little a bit of Drake as well .
Matter of fact he discusses how he spits as in "bursts" instead of "automatic" so the listener can understand it.

Rick DLC me neither lmao
I think it just felt real; no guilt or anything behind it.
He just smiled because he wanted to.

Cole..One of the best (if not the best) rappers these days, I really hate mumbling rappers and I cannot understand how anyone can listen to them, yet they are making millions of dollars, damn..
Hey looks like another white suburban middle schooler discovered hip hop last week and has it figured out already! Good for you, you pristine-taste-having-zit-bag!
I've been listening to him for a long time, in fact, I am black, and if you really wanna know, I'm 27 years old, you fucking piece of shit, gtfo..
GauFntastic cmon man, hes just voicing his opinion. he is using the comment section the right way and you are not.
Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 lol he obviously listens to them 😂👎
It's just the hip hop feel it's not fancy it's a video me and you can make and that's why it's so special because it's meant for us it's by us
The reaction to his apology highlights what he’s saying on this track. People idolise rappers, their music becomes a big part of life, and they almost become an extension of yourself because you can relate to it. He’s telling people not to because eventually they will do something that disappoints you. Self awareness is what sets Cole apart.
& that Kanye meme was off the mark if you want a real woman 😂

This song aged well ......

How was this 5 years ago? I know he’s been off the rails as of recent but even then?
