This came right on time. Having recently lost my job, a job I didn't really care for but it was a paycheck. Sending resumes and not hearing back takes a toll on you. This speech just has my mind going. I so needed this. Thank you Cordae
I’m getting a settlement deal pretty soon and can’t wait to invest it I’ve been trying to get jobs for the last 2 months after moving to California. Life’s crazy man
God said your assignment was up with that job and you will be blessed with something better.... Stay in the light never worry or doubt our creator is in control.
Comically humble introduction, had me seated and listening immediately. Could not imagine being that level of a success at such a young age and not letting it go to the head. Love this.
But behind closed doors his soul is already doomed, you are easily fooled homeboy. A wolf in sheep clothing what you looking at 😉 snap out of it.......
@@ippinocean4280 snap out of what? I'm very aware of things going on behind the scenes of America and the world. I am also a conspiracy theorist so I am awake. so when I say this do not try to argue with me. this video is about the best thing I've ever heard a rapper discuss. after this I realized I have some changing to do in my life. he is pretty humble. everyone has an ego to an extent and you can't deny it. even I have one. it's human nature. but you have no info to back up what you're saying. this man just had a whole speech about changing you're life for the better and you over here... "wolf in sheep's clothing" you need to really stop judging people for no reason at all. before you try to take a little piece of wood out of you're friends eye go look in the mirror at the big log in you'res.
hip hop artists are ARTISTS! They are here to create. it's not their responsibility to show you how smart, intelligent, thoughtful they are. Their only responsibility is to make art.
Cordae is the kind of success story that encourages me as an underground artist with a small following. Seeing how he’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity he’s been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Cordae🔥
respects to this young man for showing respect to his mom. Its also refreshing to see a young rapper conveying a message on a platform like this.A message on how to overcome obstacles in life,stay focused, and execute your goals.
I just recently learned who Cordae was and listened to some of his music. He posted a TickTock of a small clip of his Ted talk and I immediately went to RUclips to search it. This whole video has changed my life and I will definitely embody the higher power mindset
My personal notes: 1. Positive mindstate- always! 2. Be intentional with what you want! 3. Read your goals allowed (this creates energy-energy is everything) 4. Discipline - installing habits, scheduling, slight edge book, choosing high level energy actions (not low level desires) 5. Surround yourself around high level influential people. Edit the people you surround yourself with. 6. The high level mindset is not a recipe for perfection, but a commitment to honor your potential and what you have to offer the world. 7. Legacy. You want your name to be remembered long after you’re gone? The high level mindset is about doing everything that you put your hands on at the highest level of what you are capable of doing. 8. Think of your life as a book. No chapter will be perfect, and think how you want the book to end. Legacy, I choose legacy.
This audience is rough. Dude's tenacious, just keeps going when they don't laugh at his jokes or take part in the performance. That's hi level. "Y'all can clap for that."
I'm a fan of Cordae, but this made me respect him even more. The fact that he is willing to admit he could do better, unlike other rappers, stands up, and makes a TED Talk to encourage and help others reach their full potential makes me admire Cordae even more. Round of applause to you. Hope you make it far in life ~
He's talking about raising / maintaing his vibration. Staying in alignment. Unsure if he's even aware but it doesn't matter. He's young & got it. How amazing. Good for him! Keep spreading the word !!!
all of you please teach me the way i’m suffering and desperate 😭 nah but i’m just interested and want to hear a diff perspective to help motivate me i guess
@@sol1229Here’s something that you probably dont want to hear but need to. You can’t rely on motivation, even successful people in their respective fields who are making millions aren’t motivated every single day. Motivation is a fad, it’s something that comes and goes. Drill down on what you really want in life, set a goal, like cordae said, and break it down into actionable steps so no minute is left up to chance. When you go about it this way, you always know what you need to be doing to get you closer to that ultimate goal and there isn’t any time for worrying about being motivated or whatever else. Discipline will set you free.
@@cooper8473 you have to get to a point where you tired of being tired. Search your own soul and seek God for how you should go about it. Is it friends or family?
This is some high level content. Just what I needed today. "Don't let your small failures make you lose sight of your bigger picture." Thank you, Cordae.
THE HI LEVEL MINDSET: 1. Always remain positive. 2. Be intentional with your desires. 3. Be disciplined. 4. Remove negative people from your life. 5. Create a legacy. I really love the way Cordae made us laugh, while simultaneously teaching us ways to live better lives. Great speech sage. I choose Legacy! 👏💯

Love seeing a young artist share what has helped him in his journey to success. Finding and attracting people of a high level mindset is critical to long term happiness and success.
The Hi Level way is literally my point of view after recuperation from cancer. I've got a gripping motivation that nobody can cease. Life is unbelivably changed. I'm not a plan oriented person but goal oriented. Even in a tough time there is a Light, which we shoud seek.
I really needed this. I have a LOT on my plate: 4 classes in college, 30-hr work weeks at stressful job, living between 2 houses, etc. His talk helped me with not striving for perfection, but doing it for yourself. When he talked about not letting small things dilute the bigger picture, this seriously spoke to me. Thank you Cordae and Cordae's mom
Cordae I’m so GRATEFUL you made “A bird’s eye view” it was like therapy. It touched my heart. We have so many parallels in life and you wouldn’t see that on the surface level- but from a birds eye view, we have an infinity in life and our energy. Your album was a masterpiece and brought so much... perspective on my life and that I’m not alone no matter what has happened in the past and the difficulties I face today. I’m going to write my goals down, I’m going to try to open my heart and move through this storm with God leading first and take the steps I’m inspired to take next, no matter how difficult. It’s an uphill battle that I face and I may succeed or I may not but I’m going to at least give myself a chance. Thank you Cordae I NEEDED THIS!!!! Your album was a masterpiece much love ❤️✨✨✨
I love your insights on “The High Level Mindset” Cordae! By the way: YOU CRUSHED IT ON STAGE! I’m proud of you brother! Your humility was so refreshing & I love that you shared what your mom went through as she raised you as a young mom. Keep up the good work Cordae! You’re incredible.
This is a brilliant talk. Sometimes people say 'What could anyone of 24 tell you how to live your life? But here's the thing. To learn at an early age that wisdom is invaluable. Most of us crash around until we're at least 40, caring about how we're perceived, mounting up our supposed failures to convince us that there's no point in trying again. Or the worst, feeling foolish we ever thought it possible. It's nice to hear someone overriding that. Well done!
This is phenomenally inspiring, I personally listen to Cordae's music. I knew he was a high level lyrically musician, but to see him in this light is inspiring. He made some very good points and for me discipline rings the loudest bell.
Be the change you wanna be. His plan for legacy isn't just the art he is putting out but to change the hip hop culture to one of good habits and grandeur. He understands how the music genre has impacted his culture negatively and he is striving to change that. And I am here for it, hopefully future hip hop artist are too.
I’m turning 30 in 3 days and realized what I’ve been doing. I went to the hospital on a 51/50 6 years ago and my life has been a mess. I’m 8 days sober (for no reason I just decided finally). I needed to hear all of this. Anyone reading this don’t give up
The "remove all negative people's" really hits home for me. I really believe that if there is even ONE person who doubts or passively brings you down or makes you question yourself, it cancels out some of your light and luck. But I ALSO believe we sometimes need to have one person like that so we feel that drive in order to push ourselves more and more. 🌱 This was a real TALK 💖
I feel you but disagree on the last part. I don’t need a foe around me to be motivated. At that point it’s really a motivation to prove them wrong. That’s dangerous because it makes it all about them.
What’s crazy is I removed all the negative people from my life literally yesterday as of 12/31/22 so I could enter the New Year with positivity and then I see this video promoting removing those negative people in my life. I ain’t where I wanna be yet, but I’m damn sure getting there . Thanks cordae
The fact they stand up at the end and we’re respectful as possible. Just comes to show how they were been woken by his words. Implementing what he say to their life. A great young man with a strong and bright future. He for sure saved/changed/created some of those peoples life right there.
Needed this so bad. Most of the time I’m a lazy, overindulgent college kid with mediocre grades. I always watch these TED talks and motivational videos, but I needed to see a musician like Cordae deliver the message. Music is the one thing I’m really passionate about, and hearing Cordae share his tips for success has got me so fired up
So proud of this young man. Im very well aware of who Cordae, is and dates. It was a surprise too find he was the guest speaker. I think he did a tremendous job. He is living proof that no matter the age, we all can learn from each other. Nice job young man.
I’m at a time in my life or stage where I REALLY needed to hear exactly this. Sitting in this tiny room in Ecuador my first stop in my solo traveling journey I know there’s so much I wanna accomplish in life but I’m lacking the true faith and belief in myself. This really struck a cord and I’ll put these points into practice. I believe Ultimately God send this message to me. Allowed me to see it at no better time. Thank you Cordae for sharing this and your heart to help and inspire others ♥️
Brother If you are in a tiny room located in Ecuador you got balls. Ecuador is extremely dangerous for the Ecuadorian now imagine how dangerous it is for someone not dark in complexity. With this I am trying to tell you that you are well into your journey since most people doesn't even take the first step. Good fucking job! 👏 Sending love and wisdom to you unknown brother. You got this and be careful.
I absolutely love how this young Man delivered his Ted Talk, the substance of it all is soo refreshing and a great reminder of what has worked for me in the past, thank you and God Bless You young King 🙏🏾👑🙏🏾
Here after a breakup, imagined my whole future and present with this person not even to mention all rhe menories we created together. Now I'm in my own and falls like I have to completly start a new life which is true. After the pain comes hope and I want to Stick true to me and value my indivudal part that I'm already on. Thanks Cordae!
The audience did not pass the vibe test. He said a lot of good things here, 1. Be intentional with your goals 2. Be disciplined 3. Remove all negative people out of your life 4. Be positive 5. Maximize your time on this earth (Create a vision board)
He definitely did a great job presenting his inspiration and a lot of young people will/can benefit from this, but he's a young man, he's only just begun to live and the trials and tribulations that's headed his way is going to test his belief system to its core. Wishing him continued success on his earthly journey! ✌🏾❤
This was so good!! So impressed by this young dude making it big-time. Loved what he said, "don't make your small failures lose sight of the big picture". Great TED talk!!
This TED talk has truly inspired me to grind harder! Cordae will always be one of my most favorite rappers 😍 he’s such an intelligent young guy and his testimony is truly breathtaking.
Amen. Saw him live recently and he’s def got something big going for him, you can tell his mindset is just different from a lot of other artists from the way he carries himself
Wow. He has an incredible presence to him. He has every attributed needed that you need to be successful. People might think the lack of applause in the beginning might have been an example of him "bombing." But in all actuality, he had everybody hanging onto every word. THIS is what we need from our musicians and actors and entertainers. They have the highest visibility for our youth and, as such, make the most impact on them. If this is the kind of thing that a kids favorite stars are putting out in the world then we will ALL rise together.
That only shows that a huge porcentage of people in the world is just negative, they are everywhere. Just do your thing and dont pay attention to what they say. And get away from people that talk about problems, gossip, sickness, others, negativity, they have been programmed already. Besides no one of them is gonna take you where you gonna go....only your mindset is going to do it. Be loyal to yourself and look for greatness even if you are down in life.
@@juanrojas7505 but isn’t it negative to fixate on how other people are negative and how they are bringing you down and how there are negative ppl everywhere and how you need to be free from their negativity? I mean, just do it then? It’s weird to latch on to the concept of how everyone else in your life is _really_ the problem, and how ppl don’t do enough for you or make your goals more attainable. I’m just saying, I would consider someone so quick to focus on that specific element of the mindset, you know, the only one where you aren’t the setback, _they_ are… it just strikes me as a quick and easy way to avoid real, personal growth, in favor of finding external causes to blame for your unhappiness. I guess I just get bummed out when I see people being so negative about other people 🤷🏼♀️
@@rainbomg I think the message of cordae is clear. No need to elaborate from that. Just be grateful for him sharing his own experience that everybody can relate and helps others to change its perspective and focus on your goal instead of how far off seems to other people. Just follow your path and be truth to your escence .
Thank you. This is the exact thing my mind needed, don’t let the obstacles overcome you. And give your all to every moment you’re in. This one’ll stick
I use to get triggered when people talk about negative friends because I was that negative friend. I wouldn’t put down my friends, but I would put down myself and constantly tell my friends everything I hated about myself and my life. I am currently working on my mindset and my outlook on life. I believe good things can and will happen for me as long as I continue to work on being my best.
Loved his content and presentation, as well as the fact that the room full of academic types, probably mostly middle aged, gave him a standing ovation! He deserved it!
And ppl say that our age group isn’t smart.. we were the last ones to be born in the 90’s. I’ve always admired Cordae since 2018 because we both have love for old school hiphop, and he’s always shown his intelligence and strong persona through his music. Us 23/24 yr olds are proud of him.
I remember this guy from when he was still YBN Cordae in XXL freshman. Glad he actually set new standards and gave a TED talk, hopefully it inspires other rappers. Great speech!
to be honnes I start lisent to this kid when he started and i knew he was supper mature... but lisening to this when he is only 24 years old is something to admire... Cordae is a legend not only for the way he make music but for the way he move with his influence... he is a TOP G!
Listened to this with my folks… dads says what does he have to talk about ? (He likes Cordaes music)! My grandma of 90 years says he did a good job. My opinion? Awesome stepping stone to Cordaes next big move in life!
Thank you. I been through some hard times at my job and falling for depression. I feel weak right now but know I have something to give and I don't wanna give up.
Inspirational, from 24 year old to another! Btw, the second album is AMAZING. It may not change the world, but changed my perception. Thank you my G Cordae!
First i see lil baby humbled in church now this... Yall can talk about this generation all you want. We are making big advances and spreading our knowledge more than ever. Much respect Cordae🙏🏾

@@bernardobila4336 he talking bout mindset and outlook on life not his actual music
This is a brilliant talk. Sometimes people say 'What could anyone of 24 tell you how to live your life? But here's the thing. To learn at an early age that wisdom is invaluable. Most of us crash around until we're at least 40, caring about how we're perceived, mounting up our supposed failures to convince us that there's no point in trying again. Or the worst, feeling foolish we ever thought it possible. It's nice to hear someone overriding that. Well done!
This is phenomenally inspiring, I personally listen to Cordae's music. I knew he was a high level lyrically musician, but to see him in this light is inspiring. He made some very good points and for me discipline rings the loudest bell.
Solid Ted talk. He seems like a humble dude.
Cordae with a TED Talk? That’s legendary
Yeah bro it’s 🔥
Thats Hi-Level.
Be the change you wanna be. His plan for legacy isn't just the art he is putting out but to change the hip hop culture to one of good habits and grandeur. He understands how the music genre has impacted his culture negatively and he is striving to change that. And I am here for it, hopefully future hip hop artist are too.
Hip Hope!
FAXXXXX!!!🤗💕

I’m turning 30 in 3 days and realized what I’ve been doing. I went to the hospital on a 51/50 6 years ago and my life has been a mess. I’m 8 days sober (for no reason I just decided finally). I needed to hear all of this. Anyone reading this don’t give up
“How can you be high level if you don’t know what high level is to you”. that hit hard.
Thank you so much Cordae, this is really good for the world🙏🏿
The "remove all negative people's" really hits home for me. I really believe that if there is even ONE person who doubts or passively brings you down or makes you question yourself, it cancels out some of your light and luck. But I ALSO believe we sometimes need to have one person like that so we feel that drive in order to push ourselves more and more. 🌱
This was a real TALK 💖
I feel you but disagree on the last part. I don’t need a foe around me to be motivated. At that point it’s really a motivation to prove them wrong. That’s dangerous because it makes it all about them.
@@watitduful I was probably low vibe then hahaha but I get ya ! Thanks for ur reply
Don’t tell others your plans
"Your habits are a product of your habitat". So powerful!!!
What’s crazy is I removed all the negative people from my life literally yesterday as of 12/31/22 so I could enter the New Year with positivity and then I see this video promoting removing those negative people in my life. I ain’t where I wanna be yet, but I’m damn sure getting there . Thanks cordae
The fact they stand up at the end and we’re respectful as possible. Just comes to show how they were been woken by his words. Implementing what he say to their life. A great young man with a strong and bright future.
He for sure saved/changed/created some of those peoples life right there.
I'm 31 years old and this young man spoke to my entire soul. 1 love young brotha!
Respect to you Cordae, thank you for the motivation and inspiration. I pray everyone else finds their path and walk in it with the Hi level mindset
He’s really not arrogant, my man just proud of his achievements
Needed this so bad. Most of the time I’m a lazy, overindulgent college kid with mediocre grades. I always watch these TED talks and motivational videos, but I needed to see a musician like Cordae deliver the message. Music is the one thing I’m really passionate about, and hearing Cordae share his tips for success has got me so fired up
So proud of this young man. Im very well aware of who Cordae, is and dates. It was a surprise too find he was the guest speaker. I think he did a tremendous job. He is living proof that no matter the age, we all can learn from each other. Nice job young man.
He did a phenomenal job. May he continue to grow in his wisdom. Definitely gave us several gems in this Talk. Love this so much!
1. Be positive
2. Be intentional
3. Be determined
4. Remove negative people
5. Live to be remembered
I’m at a time in my life or stage where I REALLY needed to hear exactly this. Sitting in this tiny room in Ecuador my first stop in my solo traveling journey I know there’s so much I wanna accomplish in life but I’m lacking the true faith and belief in myself. This really struck a cord and I’ll put these points into practice. I believe Ultimately God send this message to me. Allowed me to see it at no better time. Thank you Cordae for sharing this and your heart to help and inspire others ♥️
Brother If you are in a tiny room located in Ecuador you got balls. Ecuador is extremely dangerous for the Ecuadorian now imagine how dangerous it is for someone not dark in complexity. With this I am trying to tell you that you are well into your journey since most people doesn't even take the first step. Good fucking job! 👏
Sending love and wisdom to you unknown brother. You got this and be careful.
You got this!
Im also a solo traveler!! Congrats on your first trip! Its such a amazing journey and requires so much courage!!
I absolutely love how this young Man delivered his Ted Talk, the substance of it all is soo refreshing and a great reminder of what has worked for me in the past, thank you and God Bless You young King 🙏🏾👑🙏🏾
I’ve never heard his music but every time I’ve heard him speak I’ve been impressed. I guess I better go listen to his music
Thanks for your great TED talk. My son is 22 and has struggled for years. Your speech is an inspiration!
I am the same with your son .I hope we make it
Man I love knowing how far he's come as an artist and a person. It's really beautiful to look at
It's incredible... and the calibre of the man he is. Incredible.
Taking life advice from a young man exactly half my age is pleasantly surprising and strangely joyous. Thank you young brother for a great Talk! 👍
Here after a breakup, imagined my whole future and present with this person not even to mention all rhe menories we created together. Now I'm in my own and falls like I have to completly start a new life which is true. After the pain comes hope and I want to Stick true to me and value my indivudal part that I'm already on.
Thanks Cordae!
I like how confident he is. It's like he's proud of doing what he is doing. Real.
"... doing everything that you put your hands on at the highest level that you are capable of doing..." love it!
The highest level is when you can endure without complaining ...... Not bcoz youre weak, but bcoz you UNDERSTAND.
Stay strong.
It's awesome seeing Musicians doing Ted Talks we appreciate it !!
The audience did not pass the vibe test. He said a lot of good things here,
1. Be intentional with your goals
2. Be disciplined
3. Remove all negative people out of your life
4. Be positive
5. Maximize your time on this earth
(Create a vision board)
The way he's being received in the comments tell me everything he's doing is moving in the right direction. You helped me today Cordae, thank you
He definitely did a great job presenting his inspiration and a lot of young people will/can benefit from this, but he's a young man, he's only just begun to live and the trials and tribulations that's headed his way is going to test his belief system to its core. Wishing him continued success on his earthly journey! ✌🏾❤
I’m so proud of him! This took so much heart & vulnerability. I hope parents & teachers all over the country show this to kids. Good job mama!
Very tough crowd and Cordae did great! I hope to hear other humble artists talk about their perspective. Keep it up
Crowd is bugginnn
It’s a Ted talk relax.
You did AMAZING Cordae! 🎉 keep it up. I’m in awe of how open minded & grown you are
This was so good!! So impressed by this young dude making it big-time. Loved what he said, "don't make your small failures lose sight of the big picture". Great TED talk!!
been on cordaes music since 2017 and i’ve seen him in concert and always loved him he’s such a legend love u cordae for bein such a great person
This TED talk has truly inspired me to grind harder! Cordae will always be one of my most favorite rappers 😍 he’s such an intelligent young guy and his testimony is truly breathtaking.
Amen. Saw him live recently and he’s def got something big going for him, you can tell his mindset is just different from a lot of other artists from the way he carries himself
Wow. He has an incredible presence to him. He has every attributed needed that you need to be successful. People might think the lack of applause in the beginning might have been an example of him "bombing." But in all actuality, he had everybody hanging onto every word. THIS is what we need from our musicians and actors and entertainers. They have the highest visibility for our youth and, as such, make the most impact on them. If this is the kind of thing that a kids favorite stars are putting out in the world then we will ALL rise together.
Don’t let your small failures make you lose sight of your big picture! ~ Cordae, The HI Level Mindset🙌🏽
Sometimes the most negative people in your life are your own family, It can be really hard. Thank you Cordae
That only shows that a huge porcentage of people in the world is just negative, they are everywhere. Just do your thing and dont pay attention to what they say. And get away from people that talk about problems, gossip, sickness, others, negativity, they have been programmed already. Besides no one of them is gonna take you where you gonna go....only your mindset is going to do it. Be loyal to yourself and look for greatness even if you are down in life.
@@juanrojas7505 but isn’t it negative to fixate on how other people are negative and how they are bringing you down and how there are negative ppl everywhere and how you need to be free from their negativity? I mean, just do it then? It’s weird to latch on to the concept of how everyone else in your life is _really_ the problem, and how ppl don’t do enough for you or make your goals more attainable.
I’m just saying, I would consider someone so quick to focus on that specific element of the mindset, you know, the only one where you aren’t the setback, _they_ are… it just strikes me as a quick and easy way to avoid real, personal growth, in favor of finding external causes to blame for your unhappiness.
I guess I just get bummed out when I see people being so negative about other people 🤷🏼♀️
@@rainbomg I think the message of cordae is clear. No need to elaborate from that. Just be grateful for him sharing his own experience that everybody can relate and helps others to change its perspective and focus on your goal instead of how far off seems to other people. Just follow your path and be truth to your escence .
Thank you. This is the exact thing my mind needed, don’t let the obstacles overcome you. And give your all to every moment you’re in. This one’ll stick
i can’t be the only one who didn’t expect cordae to be this professional with his presentation
I love Cordae for doing TedTalk.
I don’t think I ever seen a rapper do this before. Many blessings✨
I use to get triggered when people talk about negative friends because I was that negative friend. I wouldn’t put down my friends, but I would put down myself and constantly tell my friends everything I hated about myself and my life. I am currently working on my mindset and my outlook on life. I believe good things can and will happen for me as long as I continue to work on being my best.
Being a negative friend myself, just wanna say you moving in the right track. You identified It, your growing.
@@TheMagnificentArtist thank you!!! 🙏🏾

@@josephfrys6969 You're right, Fear is one of the factors that hinder most persons to invest into crypto, most persons say ignorance..
When you invest in crypto you are buying days you don't need to work
Investing in crypto is the most profitable investment due to its current rise, huge profits and future benefits.
Wish I knew about crypto trading earlier. Brace up and get yourself a bitcoin before it's too late.
Loved his content and presentation, as well as the fact that the room full of academic types, probably mostly middle aged, gave him a standing ovation! He deserved it!
Man I'm so proud of Cordae he's definitely a good speaker
"I'm like a young fuckin' Malcolm with a touch of Barack"
La leakers quote right here
'Doing everything you put your hands on at the highest level you're capable of doing' Spoke to the soul.
And ppl say that our age group isn’t smart.. we were the last ones to be born in the 90’s. I’ve always admired Cordae since 2018 because we both have love for old school hiphop, and he’s always shown his intelligence and strong persona through his music. Us 23/24 yr olds are proud of him.
Seeing him progress as an individual must be inspiring for many, the man has come a long way
That was very inspiring. I appreciate the courage that it must have taken to go before that particular audience and win them over.
I remember this guy from when he was still YBN Cordae in XXL freshman. Glad he actually set new standards and gave a TED talk, hopefully it inspires other rappers. Great speech!
to be honnes I start lisent to this kid when he started and i knew he was supper mature... but lisening to this when he is only 24 years old is something to admire... Cordae is a legend not only for the way he make music but for the way he move with his influence... he is a TOP G!
Bro this is crazy i remember Cordae back when he started he came a long way. He speaks like a smart man and a positive one at that
I want more of this energy on Ted Talks!! So relatable, transcends generational barriers, and reflects the modern culture of America!
This is a good man right here, I'm impressed by Cordae, he's got a good head on his shoulder
Listened to this with my folks… dads says what does he have to talk about ? (He likes Cordaes music)!
My grandma of 90 years says he did a good job. My opinion? Awesome stepping stone to Cordaes next big move in life!
Thank you. I been through some hard times at my job and falling for depression. I feel weak right now but know I have something to give and I don't wanna give up.
This is his best way of getting me to listen to anything of his. I’m appreciative and impressed with his wisdom and teachings .
That Was Deep Cordae you really are gonna change the World 🌎
Inspirational, from 24 year old to another! Btw, the second album is AMAZING. It may not change the world, but changed my perception. Thank you my G Cordae!

Cordae is here to stay can’t wait to see how his legacy unfolds. Hi Level Mindset Forever 📶
