    1. like why, wast of time. I am a fan of cole since the day the warm up dropped. But why, and wheres the single.

    2. The track is decent. I give it 3.5…I’m sure they can flip that song into some NICE licensing money…I can hear the song on a NBC show preview already LOL

    3. B.o.B and J. Cole suck. Why the fuck do they have a dot in their names anyway? These guys suck. Go listen to Gucci Mane and Justin Bieber for real music.

      It’s Gucci Time!

      1. SuperGucciRap, you are a dumbass and a moron. please stop making dumb comments. get a life faggot. oh and by the way, try and go learn what real hip hop is not that gay gucci man garbage.

      2. GO LISTEN TO GUCCI MANE’S BRICKS AND YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR TROLLING GOD DAM ASS MIND AND WONT EVEN JOKE ABOUT THAT SHIT PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      3. all you people commenting on this must be like 9 cause you cant tell hes just fucking around. stfu, hes just kidding.

    4. i liked kevin cossom veersion alot more, and think thats even more radio friendlier. cole you need to release a bomb single, and i honestly think something new or just stay with the kevin kossom verson.

    5. mainstream fans (shaking head). shut up and stick to your no content shit. this is good it will get better noticed with BOB on it.

      1. This one is WAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY Better then the one with Kevin Cossom.. The one with Kevin Cossoom is too fruity for me.

        The verses here are sick… The Corus by B.O.B?? It’s Okay.. Sounds good, better then the other one. Way better. The other one was too soft.

      2. are you fucken dumb? the verses on this version are sick? there exactly the same, but the chorus is fucked up. your just sounding dumb as fuck.

    6. All you idoits that want that raw shit… don’t even buy albums. If that was the case, nobody would care about radio friendly songs…

    7. all you people saying this hook is gay, is retarded, i rather listen to this hook or any hook off of any B.o.B or J.Cole song over anything on the radio. And anyone saying B.o.Bs album was a pop album shut the fuck up, listen to past my shades, dont let me fall, and airplanes isint a pop song, it just was played on the radio, and ghost in the machine. thats real hip hop. now dont even say i dont know what real hip hop is, i listen to lupe fiasco, nas, raekwon, kanye west, 2pac, big l, early eminem, and biggie all the time.

      1. first of all dont call me punk, i havent heard anyone use that word in like 10 years, and second what is wrong with me voicing my opinion like everybody else. i think this song is good and better than anything on the radio right now, just my opinion, im just sick of people of people hating on b.o.b.

    8. fuck B.O.B. he’s incapable of making a song without hopping on the back of someone famous, this guy piggy banked all the way to the top now he’s riding on j. cole

    9. This track touches everything everyone thinks about. Its great to have two of the most thoughtful hip-hop artist on one track talking about some real shit. This is like Nas and Lauren Hill doing “if I rule the world”

    10. Man this is fresh!!! I’d rather listen to this than the radio. Keep killin em cole!!! Premeditated Murder!!!

    11. Hook is dope. B.o.B keeps bringing it. Also love the hook he did for Thugga on So high. J.Cole is also a beast

    12. J.cole is just a good backpack rapper. He’s lyrical everyone knows that, he will never be on a drake or lupe fiasco level. He reminds me of a royce da 5’9, just nicer but when it comes to his hooks, he just don’t have what it takes to make that commercial crossover.

      1. What the hell are u talking about??? how can u say drake is better? and just cuz u a comercial rapper dont mean yur any good. in fact most of the best rappers are not the biggest comercial rappers or even really that comercial…. and the hook wuz originally with kevin cossum nd it sounded better with him and not bob just my opinion

      2. Wow, this dude da1 is the product of ongoing lowered standards. That the ‘hook’ is the most important part of hip-hop. SMH
        And after that you put Lupe and Drake in the same level? SNM.

      3. You guys are entitled to your opinion, I just think that this song was an attempt at radio. I didn’t say it was wack, I would never call J.cole wack but he just don’t have a nack for making hooks. I haven’t lowered my standards, I know what good music is. Lupe fiasco did crossover he went gold once and he has hit songs. Drake isn’t on lupe’s level lyrically he is just a house hold name like lupe fiasco is.

    13. The Kevin Cossum version was much better. No disrespect to B.o.B, still bumping him. But just listen to the two versions and it’s clear who sounds alot better on it. Which is not to say that B.o.B’s version sucks, I’ma listen to both but more spins going to Kevin Cossum on this one.

    14. i think B.O.B is corny as shit. a low budget 3 stacks.. and the other dudes vocals were better…

      real ass song tho…

    15. Wtf is J.Cole man he goes on about bein black all the time *yawn* and in this track he says ‘fuckin all these white ho’s’ when he was raised by a single WHITE mother. and … ‘cos im black’ …jesus. get a grip cole u idiot

      1. Actually, Cole’s moms is black his pops is white. He goes on about being black b/c he is. If you’re not you prolly won’t ever understand.

      2. Yes, but with “white hoes” he doesn’t mean that all white women are hoes, but those who Tyger Woods screwed were, that’s just a fact

    16. J.Cole still rips this track even on this wack ass beat. You gotta’ give him props. Good Shit J.Cole. 5/5 REAL MUSIC PROVIDER.

    17. yea i agree i liked the first hook better it meshed better wit cole’s verses this kinda took away from the song but who cares we have both versions i kno which one i’ll be bumpin tho

    18. Anyone got a link to where i can hear or download the version with cole on the hook?

      not b.o.b or Kevin on the hook

      1. there’s a version w/o a hook, but none where J. Cole does it. I think each one I’ve liked less – the first without a feature is best, KC second, bob 3rd…

      1. man fuck that. I put that shit in my boom box shit sounded like some Vanessa Williams shit in 88′ felt like i was on some radio Raheem shit.

    19. man, this song was so dope with the original hook “LEAVE EM ALONE” the verses are the same and still fire but the OG hook made the song so much more impactful…. oh well..

      1. yea no shit you idiot. Fucking hate when people think they kno all and be like “o this old, that shit old, im the fucking record label so i know everything” man stfu even if it were old. who gives a shit.

    20. I so use to the “problems” version that can find myself liking this version. He should of left B.O.B. off it.

    21. dave your exactly right, the first version was the shit when all it had was the piano instrumental hook, but the final versions at least better than the first

    22. The reality is it does need a chorus for it to do well with the radio and the mainstream market. As far as I am concerned they could just let that bitch breath.

      1. I feel you on his lyrics and maybe I’m misinterpreting what you wrote, but Bro thaas why I like his music, he’s consistant. I kno I dont have to defend this song cause it holds its own but yea no shots taken, thaas jus my opinion.

      2. Do you all not understand the music industry. Keep It Simple. This song has been out for a while he just added BOB.

    23. this song has been released about 4 different times with a different chorus and some other feature but j. cole’s verses are the same…this one is the worse one i’ve heard

    24. j.cole is the shit but fo real yo dont get to much commercial it will kill ya like all the others ( why the hell is are u pulling me fo is this this black mercedes o no i get get it is it cause iam black hmm maybee )
