c mon son, nas. dude got some skills, but its premature to say that. nas is the the new nas,because he’s still killing it, not j cole. allow his career to run its course,and not raise him up the hierarchy of emcees, based on a couple of songs, that are good, but not great.
jay-z ten years ago, was jay-z.. no one has or will approach a place in which jay-z was, is, or will be..
j.cole has the privilege to put out more music than jay did early in his career.. we are just getting freestyles with big l and others from years ago..
j.cole is j.cole.. he’s not the next anybody.. he’s the first j.cole.. the sum of all his influences into his own voice.. just like writers and rappers before him..
Nice track. I’ll give it a 4 because I really don’t care for the R&B hooks. Dude is a really good rapper but I can’t compare this dude to a legend just yet. He is not Nas, nor is he the early Jay. If anything, he is like Jay-Z in recent years. There is nothing on this track that reminds me of Reasonable Doubt.
I completely agree. People want the truth so bad that theyre willing to give it to the first crack of light they see. I appreciate where J. Cole is and what he represents but he is NOT nas or jay.
^ I def. agree with that. J. Cole is the best out of his generation of rappers though. Who would ya say is the most similar to illmatic Nas or Early Jay?
only the dudes voice sounds like nas. his subject matter nd way of speakin his shit is way different than what nas or jay did. he is the most like jcole, not nethin else.
don’t use one track to compare, the warm up is a classic (can i live, i get up, welcome, hold it down, world is empty, heartache,etc) and the tracks he’s released lately like premeditated murder is fire, this track is a reference track for one, not really feeling it either and hip hop dx NO hopefully this is not on COLE WORLD, you hear that cole keep this shit off ya album son
part of the reason j.cole doesn’t beast this track is his recognition that he shouldn’t beast this track.. this is a beat that could easily be overdone, but he allows the track and the chorus to blend with his light tone and heavy subject matter of not being good enough, “the meek shall inherit the earth.”
this is the last track of an album vibe in which j.cole, minus the intro where he’s giving it a mixtape feel.. the track is thunderous.. don’t trust computer speakers.. “i take my spot at the top and i ain’t lookin’ back”
my kingdom awaits… his patience to put out an album is admirable.. he’s understanding the business and trusting Jay.. tell the world i’m coming home.. all the pain of yesterday..
very insightful vibe.. looking forward to the launch of J.Cole to Radio.. he’s already solidified his career to the underground followers of hiphop (not that we are so far under the ground anymore)..
It does sound like it is for Diddy with the references to BIG and him chilling. We all know that J Cole wasn’t hanging around BIG lol. Still nice song not a classic, but it should work for Diddy
READ MY WORDS LOUD AND CLEAR HIP HOP HEADS… THIS IS SINGLE MATERIAL. DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE ALL OF COLES MUSIC BUT THIS SONG TOUCHES THE BASES COLE DIDNT LAND ON YET … BECAUSE WHO DAT AND THE BLOW UP ARENT GONNA PUT HIM ON THE CHARTS SORRY TO SAY IT … BUT AS MUCH AS I HATE CROSS OVER HE PROLLY NEEDS 1 OR 2 MORE LIKE THIS FOR HIS ALBUM TO REALLY REACH THE MASSES
We’re definitely looking at our generation’s Nas. Hopefully Cole will jack this from Diddy and throw it on his joint, this would raise his profile higher.
I love J. Cole but I don’t understand the comparison between him and Nas. I don’t see him as the second coming of Nas in any way. Fashawn is more like Nas than J. Cole.
ya… hes not like nas at all. the only reason people were sayin that i think is cuz in drake vs. j cole as leaders of the new school, drake is more mainstream (jay) and j cole is more under the radar and consistently lyrical (nas)
Dude’s just startin out and he’s hotter than 99% of these fake ass gucci wannabe’s….J cole has the potential to be LIKE Nas…he will never be Nas and I’d imagine he doesnsn’t want to be. This kid is the truth i just hope he doesn’t get sucked in to that illuminati shit…
It is 4 Diddy, “I wonder if Andre Harell, knew how great I would be, when he fired me”, Cole never worked for Andre Harell… But I concur, Cole should rewrite the verses, make this his first single, get a big singer on the hook, and hoepfully get his first crossover top ten hit
“Hopefully it stays with cole and gets added to cole world” ???
Hopefully this commercial crossover attempt gets used exactly what it was created for, a garbage puffy album. If Cole is to come close to making a classic like he’s been talkin about, tracks like this can’t be on there. It is possible to create smash hits that do well commercially without sacrificing quality (See Example: Lauryn Hill)

This boi is the truth………keep it up
Hot Track nice production and the lyrical content is nothing short of amazing. Cole is proving himself to be a well rounded artist.
surely hip hop’s in good hands!
J. Cole lyrically is the new Nas, nuff said
yeah and drake is the new jay z
noooo drake isnt
c mon son, nas. dude got some skills, but its premature to say that. nas is the the new nas,because he’s still killing it, not j cole. allow his career to run its course,and not raise him up the hierarchy of emcees, based on a couple of songs, that are good, but not great.
I would say j.cole is the new jay he reminds me of jay back in the reasonable doubt and blue print days
This guy is fucking dope. Can’t wait for the album to drop.
5*
J Cole is coming hard with every single track. god damn.
Dope as always
I’m not sure any of this is makin that album cuz its prob not droppin till winter… so we’ll see
cole world!!!!
yeah if you listen to the lyrics thats definitely for puff
I LIKE COLE, AFTER KANYE AND LLYOD BANKS DROP, IM ROOTIN 4 THIS GUY.5/5
Cole World
Im Proud! Reminds Me Of T.I.’s “Live Your Life” but iz actually much better wid da drums
Its Cole World!!!
COLE WORLD
FIRE!
5/5 i like it another radio hit
freddie gibbs= 2pac
j cole = nas
best 2 rappers at the moment….hip hop is far from dead
Cole ghostwrote this song for Diddy’s Last Train to Paris.
Cole Fucking World.
J.Cole IS Jay-Z 10 years ago.
jay-z ten years ago, was jay-z.. no one has or will approach a place in which jay-z was, is, or will be..
j.cole has the privilege to put out more music than jay did early in his career.. we are just getting freestyles with big l and others from years ago..
j.cole is j.cole.. he’s not the next anybody.. he’s the first j.cole.. the sum of all his influences into his own voice.. just like writers and rappers before him..
props to j.cole
dope
great, another perfect 5

I may Be Gay but , this is good music …
hahaha…is good music though…
He always droppin fire and his lyrics are so nice
nice. j cole is the truth.
This was a good track, but J. Cole didn’t beast on it. . .
part of the reason j.cole doesn’t beast this track is his recognition that he shouldn’t beast this track.. this is a beat that could easily be overdone, but he allows the track and the chorus to blend with his light tone and heavy subject matter of not being good enough, “the meek shall inherit the earth.”
dude is nice be he ain’t wavey… and this song is average.
DOES. NOT. DISSAPOINT.
the only way he could keep this for himself is if he change the lyrics and get another singer for the chorus….but stil a ill track
Classic Music
J cole is too sick…

good loooook
dope track
cole needs a better a singer on the hook
It does sound like it is for Diddy with the references to BIG and him chilling. We all know that J Cole wasn’t hanging around BIG lol. Still nice song not a classic, but it should work for Diddy

its a reference track for diddy smh READ TH DIESCRIPTION AND PLUS DIDDY PERFORMED IT AT GAME 4 OF THE WORLD SERIES
READ MY WORDS LOUD AND CLEAR HIP HOP HEADS… THIS IS SINGLE MATERIAL. DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE ALL OF COLES MUSIC BUT THIS SONG TOUCHES THE BASES COLE DIDNT LAND ON YET … BECAUSE WHO DAT AND THE BLOW UP ARENT GONNA PUT HIM ON THE CHARTS SORRY TO SAY IT … BUT AS MUCH AS I HATE CROSS OVER HE PROLLY NEEDS 1 OR 2 MORE LIKE THIS FOR HIS ALBUM TO REALLY REACH THE MASSES
TRUE..TRUE
yess
Cole is the perfect canidate to remake HOV’S classic REACH THE TOP
We’re definitely looking at our generation’s Nas. Hopefully Cole will jack this from Diddy and throw it on his joint, this would raise his profile higher.
nas is our generations nas… hes still relevant u talkin like hes dead or somethin… j cole is dope of course but dont diss nasir
I like how he uses Andre 3000 at the beginning. Classic
Cole is incredible but he’s not NaS… sorry… NaS is one of the best ever!
I love J. Cole but I don’t understand the comparison between him and Nas. I don’t see him as the second coming of Nas in any way. Fashawn is more like Nas than J. Cole.
ya… hes not like nas at all. the only reason people were sayin that i think is cuz in drake vs. j cole as leaders of the new school, drake is more mainstream (jay) and j cole is more under the radar and consistently lyrical (nas)

Faaaaar from just coming out haha. Agree with the second part of your first sentence though.
It is 4 Diddy, “I wonder if Andre Harell, knew how great I would be, when he fired me”, Cole never worked for Andre Harell… But I concur, Cole should rewrite the verses, make this his first single, get a big singer on the hook, and hoepfully get his first crossover top ten hit

i knew puff cudnt rap that well lol
shit cracc cant wait till j cole droppzz da album ..
J. Cole is dope!!
After listening 2 Diddy’s version J. Cole shoulda kept this 2 himself. Diddy murdered this song literally.
dumbass this way written by jay-z, recorded by j. cole, and sent to p. diddy.. so yes it’s p. diddy’s song which he bought from rocnation.
i am i blown away more and more by how retarded people are becoming.
j cole is killing it right now!
and so is http://www.myspace.com/davidversis whether you listen now or not you will hear it!!
Huge Cole fan but he got alotta driders that can’t rate a track from a passive point of view.
It’s not that good, at all. Pretty much the first Cole song in a long long time that i’ve been disappointed with. 3/5 if i was being fair.
it
is
a
diddy
song
