    1. lovin it…j cole makes some similar beats thats why sometimes you see him rappin the same, but he deffinetly has the ability to change it up if youve listened to his mixtapes

    2. Honestly, J Cole is much betttr off without Collabo’s. But unfortunately, if he aint got Fagget Ass Lil Wayne or Drake on one of his tracks, he aint gonna sell shit ! Thanks to these Lil Internet Ganagsters who probably think Young money Invented Hip Hop.

      1. lol cole wont go anywhere without wayne or drake? he doesnt need either of them with jay watchin his back this whole time

      2. first of all.. u guys all stupid. Cause watch…. carter 4 will drop and ull be like dam weezy goin hard again. haha. but he been the one puttin out the most shit for a minute. ur dumb for sayin ppl likin young money and shit. Ppl who like wayne…. obviously like other shit… if its good. duh OH YEAA…… and the person that said Jayz got his back. Jayz aint doin shit for this dude. Jayz all about him self and now… the ye-jay combo. Had him for 2 years and he hasnt even popped through the roof yet.

      3. Dude look it up. “hip hop” only became known as “hip hop” right after young money was established. before then people didn’t know what that shit was. they called it woka woka and pitter patter where I was from.

      1. im sick of seein u on here. ur gay as fuck. dude your names angel for cryin out loud. u always hatin on good artist cause their beats are melo and smooth and not jump around retard shit. and they are to smart for your stupid ass

      2. He said he’s nice wtf is your problem. not everybody is going to agree with you. just because you worship a dude doesnt mean everyone else has to. spoiled brat.

      3. if u saw dudes other comments on other songs you would know what im talkin bout. nice and good are completely different stupid. and dont worry bout my comments in the first place fagget.

      1. hahahahaha….REALLY? Joe is a rap legend..he would eat J.Cole alive. Do your research. Did you hear MM2,3,&4 padded room, halfway house and escape route??????

      2. Just because a dude can put hot lines together don’t make him nice. This is music and joe budden cant make music. Lyrically he is nice but his songs have no substance. Guess its all in what you listen for when the track spins. I personally want word play, and substance; Cole is a master at it…same thing that made Jay so ill, Slick Rick, Biggie, Pac, Big Daddy Kane, they told stories and did it with lyrics.

      3. Joe Budden is fucking sick. J. Cole is great and even better than Budden flowwise but lyrically, Joey B would wipe the floor with Cole. AND SUBSTANCE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Almost EVERY song Joe makes is full of substance. In fact there are so many substance filled songs that there’s only a few songs where he just puts together hot lines and when he does he does it nice. Everybody Down, Remember The Titans, 40/40, hell any song from the new Slaughterhouse EP. Those are songs where he just goes really hard with the lyrics. Most of Mood Muzik 4 was him venting emotionally. Go listen to Black Cloud and THEN try to tell me he ain’t got substance. Cole is great, he really is. But don’t compare him to another rapper on a different level in a different lane.

      4. Joe Budden is on another level right now. . His music is mostly concept, when you look at his mixtapes and the padded room, its crazy with what he’s done. .

    3. Seriously Anyone who dosent have anything positive to say about this Track should shut the hell up ! Y’all are probabaly bunch of 90’s Babies who thinks Lil Wayne andDrake are the greatest Rappers Alive !

      1. chill boy im a 90s babies i know this is real hip hop even though the realest was when i was born i know that the early 2000s was real too to the mid 2000s

    4. I BET BEANIE SIGEL IS LAUGHING AT THIS RIGHT NOW AND SAYING “HOW DARE YOU J.COLE!”!!! LMAO!!! give it up homie…

    5. @law16 joe buddennnn sucks dickkkkkkkkkk trash ass rapper cole would trash him anytime and joe budden can make music to save him j.cole switches up his flow at anytime he wants joe budden is lucky hes in slaughterhouse or you wont be hearing his bitch ass

    6. Don’t make me pull the trigger, i think u niggas is daring me…Gon’ fuck around and get u new favorite rapper embarassed see….Cole World

    7. TRACK IS DOPE …. J COLE IS SICK…. ,,,,, BUT HE HAS NO RELEASE DATE AND HASN’T MADE A RADIO SONG THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL GET A RELEASE DATE.. HE IS GOIN TO FLOP BIG TIME.. SORRY TO SAY AND THIS IS WITH A JAY Z SIGNING CMON HE SHOULDA DROPPED HIS DEBUT ALBUM MONTHS AGO.. THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH LOTS THESE ARTISTS MY FAV IS NIPSEY HUSSLE BOTH WERE ON XXL AND THEY BEEN SITTING ON THE SHELF WAITING.. BOTH THESE DUDES GOT MAD SONGS BUT MAJOR LABELS NEED RADIO SMASH FIRST.. KEEP GRINDING HOMIES AND YOUR YEAR WILL COME.. IM GONE

    8. Man i feel sorry for J Cole ! Dude is a little bit late with this Hip Hop shit. I guarantee y’all if he came up when Jay Z and Nas did, we would be singing a diffrent tune by now. Anyways, i hope he finds his Niche and stay’s there, cos this fucked up World / Music Industry A’int worthy of a Raw Talent like my Nigga Cole !

      1. Son, he’s under the right wing (Jay-Z’s) and I’m sure he’ll get his shine. He has the full package, but it’s just hard for him to dive right in with the likes of Young Money get all the attention. When one in particular, Drake, fades-out it’ll be his time.

      1. Co-sign. His flow comes across so natural and real….UNLIKE THAT OTHER ANNOYING MUTHAFUCA LIL WAYNE ASS KISSER/DICK-LICKER!

    9. remained a virgin i couldn’t get past flirtin..

      j.cole still grinding.. hope he drops a classic album.. don’t care if it sells

    10. J. Cole is supposed to be the next greatest thing from Hip Hop. With that said I have higher expectations for him. He goes hard on this one so I gave him 4 stars but it was more like a 3 and halfer for me.
      If you check this link to this youtube video you’ll see a guy who has more flows than all these cats…big talk right?? Well check it and see if i’m lying.

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2EBCYkjW3k

    11. Everyone talking bout he need a radio single to sell… yea he does to fans that have never heard of him, but he already has been on tour with only mixtapes out! Making money without a debut yet…

      1. if u think he is getting more credit than he deserves how do u feel bout half the industry? far as i can see u should be grateful a nigga as talented as him gets the kinda credit he does considering the “sub par” rappers u group him with. n he is deff. not sub par…by far not the best but deff. not sub par.

    12. Jay-Z is trying to sign Drake and put J. Cole on the shelf!!!

      So all you Young Money is wack clowns can now start calling Roc Nation wack!!!!

      1. lol, bullshit music?? my favorite rappers are lupe, blu, outkast, little brother, talib kweli, mos def, and of course myself.

        I dont think my music choice is bull shit, I just dont hear any real content on this track

      2. Nah Iddle is not a hater. He’s just saying this song has not content. It’s true but this is just a freestyle over Beanie Sigel’s Nothing Like It that Kanye produced. It’s from 2009 also so it’s a bit old. But Iddle you should listen to the songs I Get Up, Show Me Something, Losing My Balance, Enchanted and See World to find J. Cole songs with content. I hope those don’t diasppointed.

      1. word thats how i feel, i had high expectations for this dude but he needs some different beats, delivery is the same, gets repitative and boring.

      2. If you get bored, is it because of something he’s doing or is it because you just a have a short attention span? He’s doing what got him in the game. Just sayin…

      3. agree with ben…cole has talent but i feel as if i hear the same topic , same story in each song; i enjoy his soulful beats …but i dont wanna hear it in every song he does…

    13. alll you fuckers tryna talk down bout cole.. niqqa honestly shut the fuck up.. no one ever doin it like j.cole , stupid hatin’ ass dumfucks honestly take lil waynes dickk out your ears and listen to the real shit..

      cole world over all the wack shit out today

    14. how niggas, and the world for that matter, thinks drake is better than j cole is beyond me. listen to this nigga spit on a track oh my god. and i hate to bring up the comparison again ik we off that but still shits ashame dont make no sense how this nigga aint blown up yet and you hear that abc123 on the radio every other song

      1. you want to know why?its about personality,cole can flow but….he has no personality yet.We havent seen it anyway.Thats the difference,and some good hood videos would help…..

    15. THIS SHIT SUCKS WHY WOULD U EVEN TRY RAPPING OVER A BEAT BEANIE SIGEL ALREADY KILLED?! U DUMB FUCK UR SUPPOSE TO RAP OVER A BEAT SOMEONE HAS NOT KILLED!! SOMEONE SCHOOL THIS NIKKA ON HOW ITS DONE!! AND PLEASE U GUYS ACT LIKE HES THE BEST THING OUT HE SPITS WITH THE SAME FLOW EVERY SONG HE HAS ALOT TO LEARN ABOUT RAP

      1. CUZ REAL CRITICS WRITE IN ALL CAPS AND CALL PEOPLE DUMB FUCKS AND GET MAD ABOUT ANOTHER MAN DOING HIS THING IN MUSIC AND GIVING HIS FANS WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR BECAUSE I AM AN EXPERT. FUCK THAT, I AM THEE EXPERT AND I GET PAID SO MANY ZEROES FOR MY OPINION. 1 STAR!

    16. I been saying and thinking this for awhile. He’s just aint got what it takes to be a super star. His voice sounds kinda dry and boring to me. This has to be one of his worst freestyles, not one quotable. I guess it was an off day but he needs to change it up or be a mixtape rapper for the rest of his life like Papoose.

      1. There is a lotta haters on this for real I mean dayum…You can’t deny his skills if you doubt me or all the other real ones who recognize real, download
        “The Warm Up” and “Friday Night Lights” don’t say shit until you download those two and listen…But then again…haters are just everywhere and just wish they was in his shoes…It’s just how it is…I don’t have a problem complimenting someone who is making things happen because that’s what I aim to do so to someone who is doing something that I want to do, I’mma just peep and make things happen for myself to be in that same predicament. I don’t want to be a rapper though but a visual artist but besides the point J.Cole killin the game right now…Fuck the haters!

    17. fuck all.
      J.Cole Spittin that real
      you fuckheads u aint used to good music
      sit down and really listen.

      dnt hate becuz he living his dreams
      this nigga the next big thing word up!

    18. In my opinion… I think J.Cole is one of the best up and coming rap stars, his lyrics are sick. The Warm up, The Come up, Friday night lights !! 3 great mixtapes !! this not so great, but still good lyrics

    19. beanie sigel’s original “nothin like it” vs. j.cole’s “nothin like it”…there’s no comparison. Beanie murdered this track, as far as j.cole, he did ok. I feel his lyrics are really for teenage or collegiate taste.

      1. That’s not an ironic statement. Irony is closer to what we would call sarcasm. It’s when you say something but mean something else.

    21. I like J Cole, and I think he is a talented dude, but I do feel there is “something missing” for lack of better explanation. I’m not hating at all I just don’t think he has the “it” factor that seems to be required these days. You know, musically, he is way better than someone like Wiz, who I think is horrible, but yet seems to having more success.
      I wish J all the success in the world, he seems like he works hard, but maybe he needs to switch up his formula a little bit

    22. Im a J. Cole fan, but he missed his window. He had a huge buzz, with a hot mixtape and a good single. The label screwed him. He’s fallin back right now….

      1. THANK YOU EXPERT SIR!!! WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR DEGREE IN MARKETING? YOU KNOW ALL THINGS SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME YOU ARE GOD!!!

        FUCK!!!

      2. you think he missed his window before he released his only album on one of the biggest record labels in the country, with jay z and kanye producing and putting tracks all over the charts and cosigning?

        lol…ok

    23. J.Cole has a lot more substance than alot of the lames making so called “hits” waka, wiz, even Drake who i feel is waaaaay overrated..this song isnt one of his best but if were talking lyrically word for word, punchline for punchline, J. Cole is going to be “that guy” …i guess only time will tell

    24. coldest in the game, spit real shit thats relatable to hood and the struggle. If this nigga drop i swear i will buy two copies

    25. Is J.Cole a lyrical beast? Hell yeah. But is he Musically one: hell no. J.Cole needs to step his game up cuz his shit is soooo fucking boring. This why I don’t listen to american rap anymore. AK-69 all the way

      1. dont listen to american rap? what a fucking snob. you the francis ford coppola of hip hop fans. theres plenty of beautiful american rap music to listen to. put the bullshit mainstream and (agreed) bullshit boring muisc like this aside.

    26. j cole is the future of hip hop, lil wayne is still great but he’s on too many songs and is getting played out rediculously, drake is following in lil wayne’s footsteps and people will get tired of him if he keeps collaborating … nicki minaj is annoying… drake and lil wayne rap the exact way btw … eminem is selling out a lil but is still the greatest emcee … his rhyming skills and raps are unreal… 50 cent is on his way to the top again … jay z will always be a force and always has been …kanye is coming out with a new album which i hope will be as good as graduation (his last great album)

      1. 50 coming back to the top? No 50 lost his chance. That faggot ass needs to keep selling vitamin water. I don’t wanna hear about him fucking hoes and getting money. Cole World all day

      2. Thanks for the answers to everything. You are an individual and you’re opinion is YOURS. Keep that in mind. Hip hop has humanoids thinking they are well studied and have the right to run their faces. Its a waste of time. Who cares really ? No one. I just wasted 30 seconds.

    27. J.cole, blu, currenSy, Kendrick lamar, big KRIT,so many young cats spitting so nice lately, and im an old school nicca, love it…

    28. Cole is sick as hell no denying, but he has to learn how to switch his flow up if he wants to really blow up.. It’s fire on every track, but fuck it just sounds the same..

      1. yea i didnt really see it like that but your right hes hella fuckin good though this dude is for sure the future. an he knows somethins gotta change i just hope he takes the right path an stays away from the radio swag

    29. J.COLE IS THE FUTURE he is like HOV and NASIR wrapped in one…….. real talk he’ll eat drizzy alive #justsayin

      1. bitch ass faggots dickride em so hard, they hate every artists that’s better than him. Get his dick out of your mouths you queer assholes, it’s practically sticking out of your butt.

    30. love his stuff…represents real hip hop flow.

      All you hip hop heads, make sure to check out Droppin’ Gems on facebook, they pick one Hip Hop “Gem” per day…. good stuff

      1. Haaaaaaa, not a chance. Drake n wiz are good for their own reasons. but J.Cole has a mad different flow. he’s got that real hip hop sound. Wiz n drake are mad different.

    31. this is dope.

      but on the other hand i dont get why everything thats mainstream is wack is a sellout. that jus doesnt make any sense to me. jus because an artist got radio play hes automatically wack or a sellout?

      1. not all radio songs are sellout songs but a majority are, so people brand mainstream as sellout music. its not really true or fair to artists that are putting out real music.

    32. He’s peaking, better release some full length soon…..the music business is a fragile game! After saying that, it’s hard to get enough of this kid….

    33. just read the title of the song. hes nothing like it. nothing like wiz.drake. hes his own rapper. j cole world!

    34. What cole does consistantly is redic. so ill.
      and he doin shit w The Deans List, Joey A.X, MGK and mad dope up n comers

    35. Too much of the same type of beats, same type of delivery, same type of flow and same type of content from J. Cole.

      Dude needs to show more width. You gotta be more versatile, champ. At least if you wanna see that mainstream money (like he has said over and over that he wants). So that means you gotta do what your peers like Drake and Wiz do – make accessible tracks that cross genres.

      Find your niche. Drake got his Rnb/pop lane, Wiz got his laidback/weed/pop lane and you gotta find your own lane champ if you wanna see that mainstream moola.

      Now motherfuckers up in this bitch can whine and say “nah cole aint like that” and Im not knocking his choice, do you champ. Im just saying if you want to blow up, you gotta switch it up kid.

      1. I actually disagree, HHH that’s me. While I think u make a good point abt finding your lane for the mainstream moolah, I think u are not giving j cole proper credit here. This guy has a very unique voice and distinct flow. It meshes seamlessy with these smooth soul beats. If u are looking to categorize his sound, I would say soul/easy listening hip hop. Remember that great artist have made major bucks offa this style. ex. jay z on Blueprint.
