      1. i like this comparison better than last years cole vs drake. J.Cole, Kendrick, Big KRIT are 3 hottest right now. Fuck mtv’s list. btw this song = 5/5

    1. “OK you a killer right?
      and Miss Cleo is Jamaican
      and Bob Marley is Hatian
      and me and Beyonce dating
      and Jesus Christ be hatin
      got mad love from Satan
      for fuckin Sanaa Lathen
      while Megan Good is waitin”

      -IT’S COLE WORLD BIATCHES

    2. new cole sounds like all the old cole, yawnn. and i’m still a fan he can come correct, but you are all dick riders.

    3. Fire. J.Cole’s one of the most consistent best rappers of our generation. I’ve got around 130 songs for him, which is most of his stuff, and you can tell by listening that he’s been making good shit, but it’s only gonna get better. He’s only gonna improve and learn and make better music.
      Not to mention, relative music. The type of shit that makes you feel smarter after listening to one of his tracks.

      I ain’t dickriding, I’m a hiphop head with a large intolerance for shitty, irrelevant music. And Cole seems to be doing the best job keeping me happy.

      This track though.. one of his most confident so far

      1. Ohhh you’re one of those people “I’m smart cuz my favorite rapper is smart” you are the epitome of tool and I hope you die

    4. Hot flow and decent beat (fuck that generic 808 drum pattern though), but wack lyrics, Cole’s flossing way too early in his career. Get back to that intelligent shit Cole.

    5. LMAO….J cole puttin is fate on twitter followers.Funny thing is,all them twitter followers ain’t gon’ cop your joint when it hits the stores. Son fuck twitter….know what i’m saying?

      1. twitter is the main social networking site for celebrities, so maybe that’s why
        but he doesn’t use twitter, or “tweet”, too much like them other celebs

      2. No…! You shut the hell up and go search for job or something cause your bum-ass ain’t touchin my cereal tomorrow morning.

    6. damn between dis & da Tyga feature, dis a good way for Cole to start da year..I think his voice was a lil hoarse or something, cuz he didnt have dat energy dat he usually has(or maybe it was an editing or technical issue). Either way, dis songs tight

    7. Cole stays WINNING. He sounds pissed! He also playing in the Celebrity AllStar game. great week for Cole.

    8. “OK you a killer right?
      and Miss Cleo is Jamaican
      and Bob Marley is Hatian
      and me and Beyonce dating
      and Jesus Christ be hatin

    9. Doooooooope!

      “Its only right i brought the soul, yall got way to electro, damn near techno, half way homo, way to metro, hennesy xo, cole flow special, style like tribe called quest meets death row”

      Woooooooooo!….Man, jus that lil part right there kill all these lames in the game right now in so many ways.

      J.cole = hope for REAL rap/hip hop

    10. THIS SHIT IS WEAK I PRESSED PLAY BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OK BUT I THINK SOMEONE IS TROLLING ON THE RATINGS THIS SONG 1/5 J BORING WORLD HYPE ALL OVER THIS NURSERY RHYME SNOOZZZ TRACK

      1. wow u sir need glasses if u can’t tell thas not j.cole. swear hater find the smallest things to complain about. no merit at all, u don’t like’m for w/e reason thas on . n how does the way he’s dressed represent a fag?? simple minded moron smh

      1. do you say cray in front of girls? no i bet you sing and jack off to cole world BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN A LOSERS WORLD

    11. I hate the government. They try to shove rules up my butt and i don’t like that. Stop ass raping with your rules government!!!

    12. You bloggers dont respect any music thats not shoot em up bang bang I sell drugs I rap about all the money I spend because u poor fucks pay for my music and I rap bout shit you will never be able to do……. Dummies never respect shit that can relate to you somehow…. Bloggers killed Hip Hop

      1. this lame lyrics are weak as hell you don’t need to talk about killing or dope to be great or real BUT J COLES MUSIC IS BORING and i will never respect this shit BLOGGERS DID KILL HIP HOP all these cheap so call lyricist did

      2. Oh yea Rick Ross is an hell of a lyricist and french Montana and all of these other new niggas right? How can you say lyricist killed hip hop…….. I bet you think Pusha T is wack too right

    13. Not the greatest I’ve heard from Cole, but it’s still definitely an ill track. I know he’s still pushing the first album, just as he should be, but I really can’t wait to hear what he’s got in store for his sophomore.

    14. damn this shit is ill…. 5/5 most def!!
      and to those mad at him being left out the top 10 he really isn’t hot…. put together a great album that but no smash singles and it didn’t do major numbers and not many big time features either…. i’m a Cole fan but i can understand him being left out….

    15. Damn i was a huge cole fan….but idk am i the only one who doesnt think hes that nice anymore? Maybe i’m just over the craze…because i didnt even like his album too much

      1. his mixtapes are definitely better. im still wondering why Grown Simba wasn’t on there! but lights please made it? 🙁

      1. Breakdown, Lost Ones, Rise and Shine and Sideline Story were songs on his album and were all better than this song. This is nice tho. Not his best but dope enough.

    16. Hottest MCs in the game was the shittiest list ive ever seen in my life. Would you consider half the artist on there MCs to begin with? Fuck who HOT put the lyricist up Cole shoulda been in the top 5. Does MC encompass how hot you are or how talented you are?

      1. dats da same thing i said but if i was jcole i wudnt be upset its obvious mtv has no clue wen it comes to HIP-HOP MUSIC

      1. dude u have to understand mixtape is always going to be diff to album, mixtape u dont really sell as much as albums, u have to make hits on album or say bye bye

      1. i dont think he fell off…he just had to make an album. it happens to a lot of people nowadays. look at big sean! his mixtapes were fire! and his album was alright.

    17. J.COLE IS A BEAST ..BUT WHAT KILLS ME IS WHEN PEOPLE MENTIONS LIL WAYNE AS A GREATEST MC, HOW????WHEN HE USES GHOST WRITERS, EVEN NIKI WACK ASS SAID SHE WROTE A SONG FOR HIM…

    18. To those who think that Cole’s album was worse than his mixtapes, no it wasn’t. His mixtapes just had that classic feel cause he wasn’t trying so hard to do something new, and he had nothing to lose.
      The beats on his album though, is where he tried to develop his sound and production to another level. Most of his album beats sound new to us; some of us can adapt to change and some of us can’t. That’s the problem with hiphop, everybody’s looking for classics, but they can’t accept that times have changed. Don’t get me wrong, shit, I strongly believe that hiphop was more straightforward, cut-through-the-bullshit back in the day.
      But you can’t hate on the lyrical content of.. Dollar & A Dream 3, Lights Please, Sideline Story, Lost Ones, Rise & Shine, Breakdown, and the summertime beats of Work Out and Can’t Get Enough, and the hard beats like Cole World and God’s Gift..

      Anyways at the end of the day, everyone’s got their own taste in music. Some like the intellectuals, some like the beats, some like the “I’m better than you” raps, and some just appreciate good music.

      1. Kendrick Couldnt wipe Coles Dick off after he fucked kendricks mother in the ass, Better Flow, Better Beats by Cole.

      2. Cole is a simple ass rapper…kendrick is AGES beter than cole. Only people who dont see that are dickriders or mainstream fans. COles beats aint even nice lol He was pretty good when he came out with the warm up but not so much now

    19. Rare real shit, that most of yall dumb niggas dont support! Grow up!!!!! Listen sometimes instead bobn to a damn beat!

    20. I only f%$# with hat tricks b*&^%$# with a few goals!!! Coles wordplay is crazy #COLEWORLD or re-elect Obama for president

    21. when i saw j. cole had a new track out i was hyped, his 1st track of 2012, its not a bad track at all, but its boring. i wanted something….harder. hope cole drops a mixtape and an album this year, and something similar to any given sunday, or 2 mixtapes and an album.

      im a big cole fan, bin to see him live and it was sick, bought his album (downloaded his mixtapes) but this track only deserves a 2/5…FACT maybe 3/5, but ill give it a 2.

      MORE TRACKS LIKE RELAXATION COLE….SAFE

    22. cole says in this track, somethin like ‘its only right i brought back the soul, you got way too electro’

      mr nice watch?……hmmm

      3/5 for this track
      -5/5 for mr nice watch

    23. Song Of The Year So Far, If This Was Jay & Ye On this joint the internet would be dying, but the truth is cole aint no fuckin joke and can flow with the best.

      1. Cant even front cole goes the hardest when he on someone else beat but he definately has some classics on his own beats like lights please.

    25. This song is crazy man!He had the soul beat and the hard lyrics to go with it. “Cole flows speacial style like tribe called quest meets death row…my goodness who says that….nobody but this nigga. He’s studied the game and mastering his flow and lyrics

    26. i understand why people our hating on this track. Cole is dissing their favorite rapper.
      “It’s Cole, it’s only right I brought back the soul
      Yall got way too electro, damn near techno
      Half-way homo, way too metro
      Hennessy XO, Cole flows best yo
      Style like Tribe Called Quest meets Death Row”
      about time someone said something about wayne wearing those leopard skin skinny pants

    27. For everyone who wanna say kendrick better than cole there both great mcs. And are about make a mixtape together. If you really want to compare listen to k.dot overly dedicated and section 80 to coles body of work the come up, the warm up, and fnl. And get back at me goofies. I like both because both are the new ge. For all you cock suckers

      1. yeah dumbass, he said preceded that with “y’all got”…not saying he is. Listen to the entirety of the song and not just selectively hear the words halfway homo

    28. boring and forgettable BS like all cole songs. 5 years from now noone will remember any moment of cole’s forgettable career. not a star. forced product with serious backing. boring shit. boring artist. i feel bad for you sissy kids thinkin this boys something special. why cuz he doesnt suck as bad as lil wayne? lol okay. his biggest moment is dropping a wack 16 on a wack jay-z album, and playing in the celebrity all star basketball game. rap sucks really bad now. any popular rapper pretty much blows dick.

      1. cole flow specio- U suck dick cuz u prolly dried to make and u flop as shit. go sucka dick pussy ass niga trying to get on here hating with that ignorant ass comment of yours, if you made sense id least respect that but u got 0 facts u hoe. cole world

      2. you disrespect j. cole AND jay-z…commit suicide. its really sad that brothers and I’m assuming you black but i hate that niggas can’t just be happy to see a black man make it. look at it this way he’s rich and…YOU AINT…oh wait now i see oh and if you aint black then why are you even on this site talkin bout this rapper i bet yo favorite rapper is spose cuz your awesome huh ha ha KILL YOURSELF BITCH HA HA HA HA HA HA-rocnation-

      1. The rarity is what makes it so dope. If everyone was dropping shit like this I’m sure you would be begging for some Waka lol. Supply & Demand

      1. ok, now you get him…go back and listen to his earlier stuff. Start with Farewell, Lost Ones, Cheer Up, Rise & Shine.

        Cole’s lyricism is hard to beat.

      2. go back even more, premediated murder, killer, lil ghetto nigga, playground good game , i really mean it and looooots more

      3. I never said his lyrical ability is something to question he just isn’t that tight to me…. His songs lack depth (imo)but I like this one. Like a reverse example would be Kid Cudi…. not a lyricist at all but his songs have emotional depth… like Mr Rager

      4. I agree with both of your comments, both made legitimate points. His sophomore album is goin haveto be a bit more aggressive and he will gain the audience he needs.

      1. Ppl that usually say cole is boring is ppl who haven’t really experienced much in life. So my guess is ur prob young (below 20). Or u jus like fake rappers rappin about material shit. ( Lambos, diamonds, black cards, etc…. tell me im wrong…

    29. Love that David Ruffin Touch on the cover, the sample, and he killing the rhyme … Not nicer than youg Chris or Ortiz but he stays in his lane and that’s wide open Go head Cole World

    30. This was a very solid effort.
      My earlier post was answering someone about when will he and 9th wonder work together. Never I’m hoping. 9th isn’t as ill as a bunch of wood chain wearing folks would have you to think.

    31. Cole is on the right track in his career. He’s getting respect from everyone in the game just from his lyrics. That’s the approach you should be taking. Keep grindin’. NC’s got your back!

    32. DAMN the man went in! he might be next up for that seat LMAO good pick J!

      ps David Ruffin sample……..hard! R.I.P to a boss (he wrote double cross and died under suspicious circumstances an coke overdose, life imitates art…..damn shame)

    33. I have yet to hear “Cole World” but I think I can go ‘head and assume that this joint is bodybaggin’ that entire album. Am I wrong, yall?…

      1. Not really cuz Rise and Shine and Dollar & Dream 3. God’s Gift are twice as good as this song and those are the album. Plus there’s those introspective deep songs like Lost Ones, Sideline Story, Breakdown and Lights Please you should also check out. This is a dope song tho don’t get me wrong tho but some people are overhyping this song quite a bit tbh.

      2. That track is dope but is not on the “album level” that cole used to talk about. I mean, as he said, there’s those song which sounds like an album track.
        Grew up fast is dope. Probably one of his best yet but don’t have that Sideline Story vibe. Sideline Story & God’s Gift are,to me , the dopest song on SS.

        hope you gon’ get what i mean after you bump the album & if u saw the interview i reffered to !

        peace !

    34. Not tryin to make a statement, aint put my finger on it yet. But when i heard this shit, i was “damn, this is that warm fucking feelin I got the first time I sat and absorbed the blueprint.”

    35. How the fuk does this not have a 5???? On another note, thank yu hiphop Gods for resurrecting Young HOVA the God!!! #COLEWORLDROCNATION

    36. Yeah, I hear this and think, MTV left Cole off of that hottest mc’s list! What!? They crazy and are not the authority on who’s hot

    37. My homie Nas gon’ be impress with this joint and I know Hovie is. Secretly Cole is the new youth that will keep Hov on point!

    38. Cole is killin it. Not gon be a sophomore slump for Mr. Nice Watch. He’s comin for the crown. Between this and Visionz of Home…other rappers besides Kendrick and KRIT need to step up their bars……real fuckin talk. Those three are LEGIT.

    39. In my opinion J. Cole will go down as the best of all time when its all said and done no doubt about it.

    40. ” Learn something Boi, grow yo azz up-
      Cheap Nicca, if you was liquor I’d probably
      throw yo azz up- matter of fact if you was grass i’d probably mow yo azz up….” DAYUM.

    41. ‘Yall got way to electro, damn near techno, half way homo, way to metro, Hennessy XO, cold flow speacial, style like tribe called quest meets death row’ – Those 2 bars alone get a 5! J.Cole is prolly the sickest artist to come out in a longgg ass time.. shiiit.

    42. Don’t like his style. He hasn’t got shit on any of the classic rappers in terms of his style, lyrics, musicality etc…

      I guess most young listeners dont even know the real MCs

    43. J. cole is tryin to keep hiphop alive and make his money at the same time. This guy right here is a blessing to the game

    44. Damn I’m ol’ school, but this muthafuckers cool… reminders me of 93′ til infinity. Peace bitch’zzz

    45. CHEAP NIGAAAAAAAA IF YOU WAS LIQUUUEEERRRR I’D PROLLY THROW YO ASS UP!

      This man gives me faith in the new school of Hiphop

    46. Its a Cole World in these mad city’s but we still have Hiipower and when we rise and shine through we will still have the same heart.

    47. Why is this rated so good? The lyrics dip in and out between great and horrible and as a whole are average. All iv seen from this kid is average but he is worshipped on this website, oh well I’d better him being worshipped than drake or waka flocka flame.

    48. Most rappers are whack just like the people they attract!!! Gave this a 1 same old shit LUPE FIASCO JAY ELECTRONICA KENDRICK LAMAR THURZ DIZZY WRIGHT HOPSIN thats it!
