J. Cole: "These aint no hits" Random dope fan: " Fuck the hits" My sentiments exactly.... that first Dreamville Festival was amazing

[@__Babaaaa]

Gotta love how for 'Back To The Topic' Cole even did the little intro with the " Voice gone and shit, think it'll make it sound....a little iller " .....

[@YardratZ]

Right after he talked about forgetting the lyrics

[@altevisuals7917]

You get it.

[@jamieharris4389]

Man i know every single word. Wish i couldve been there

[@marlanekelly170]

Not bragging or rubbing it in but it was super lit. I did these shits all the way through

[@jackwalferd9558]

it was amazing

[@tblaze4days]

This was far and away my favorite moment of the entire festival. It was always my dream to hear his old songs but figured he'd never do anything but the hits anymore. To be able to recite Back to the Topic word for word live was one of the greatest moments of all my concert experiences 😭 Cole is a legend for throwing it back like that 💯

[@willrichardson9846]

Whole crowd new it too Im very jealous I wasn’t there

[@frederickwilliamsjr4390]

I’m definitely jealous😩

[@marlanekelly170]

t blaze same yo I stg I was so hyped. I didn’t expect him to do the throwbacks either and my girl recorded me going word for word

[@swavysavage9755]

Say pause bruh

[@jackaboybeats2146]

Cole really be throwing it back like that?

[@kohanu95]

I was there rapping every word

[@bynwinnin]

Never forget the first time I heard Back to the Topic 💜💜💜💜 chills still

[@Exhibit_C_me]

He should start doing "Can I live" at his concerts as well 💯

[@L3OS27]

Craig Rand that song gives me goosebumps

[@Dbf1339]

He should do revenge of the dreamers and dollar and a dream 2 as well

[@WilliamsWorld87]

I was in the back rapping EVERY SINGLE WOOORRRRRRDDDD!!! Especially Back To The Topic freestyle! that was a dream come true to see live!

[@wjquick32]

Had to come back to this after Dreamville 2024. I still remember how hard I screamed, I spent the entire lead up begging for Back to the Topic. Couldn't believe I still rapped every word after years away from it, and with a random dude staring at me the entire time no less. What a time to be alive!

[@RODPOD302]

I think the first will always be the best tbh.

[@wjquick32]

@@RODPOD302 it was really special

[@RODPOD302]

@@wjquick32 after that first one I think it completely fell off. Cole started getting to political. If you see what Kendrick did this past week that what Cole needs to do. Put on for NC and just have fun.

[@PocketsForBugs]

Can we talk about the backup singers milly-rocking so hard to 'back to the topic' 😂😂

[@davibaby89]

So thankful I sacrificed my time off work to experience that because now we are in a time where we have no concerts. Fucked up.

[@KingSkoonk]

Just gave me chill original cole fan 😤

[@ndumisoarthursaungweme3721]

A shout from the crowd at 1:40 "we absolutely got you". hahaha

[@MultiPishpish]

Man I never thought I'll see grown simba live this days, what a fucking classic.

[@DunkmanSwatTeam]

I was slappin Grown Simba in 2009 in my senior year. Brings back some good times man

[@yurr4270]

Always have wanted to see him perform back to the topic live

[@Lionsdendaniel]

GROWN SIMBA MY FAVORITE SONG EVER

[@coffeebean_]

My dude said fuck the hits 😂 yo I went crazy in my own room when grown simba came on

[@NateCConcerts]

I couldn’t actually believe he was playing that, everyone in the front snapped

[@KevinDoradoRev]

These truly are some classic tunes that will forever exist. 🙏🏽

[@bgtheone2903]

This is good camera work

[@NateCConcerts]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@AnthonyLSamuel]

I know every damn word and i aint heard these songs in a minute Day 1 rocking with Cole

[@ndumisoarthursaungweme3721]

i'm a simple man. Nate C. Concerts uploads, i click.

[@porkchop1130]

Banging this shit till this day

[@MadeByTrey]

Classics mannn

[@flockazeebo]

Back to the topic. Straight classic!

[@hizzle8393]

2:44 cole’s face looking like he wasn’t expecting that response

[@Dbf1339]

I remember listening to Cole back in 8th grade I'm in college now

[@jamyatheonly9598]

😤🔥🔥🔥best rapper alive

[@mrelove72]

Yep, Hov passed the torched to his protege....he basically predicted it in the intro of J cole's first album on Rocnation. 🤔

[@gtdpaok5720]

Best to ever do it

[@teesaifele9391]

Favorite part of the whole damn show

[@DemetriusPooleJr]

Classic songs

[@25MichaelR]

Finally!!!! Who dat after grown simba would be a good combination tho.

[@marlanekelly170]

Boyyyy you ain’t never lied! Who Dat was the first time I heard Cole

[@joeulrich2327]

I still bump all his mixtapes and try to tell people these joints are fire but nobody wanna listen smh

[@porkchop1130]

I wish he just plays all his classics live that would be amazing

[@juliuscoleslaw4276]

THAT WAS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

[@Dbf1339]

One of my favorite Cole songs gets me pumped

[@JamesDrainer]

He stays true to his roots

[@CJayFFA]

Can we get The Warm Up on Apple Music and Spotify pls

[@doodoobutter6166]

Foreal

[@estebangonzalez2601]

Just get a mixtape app

[@RicardoM.6]

No! The Fake fans don’t deserve it

[@RicardoM.6]

Sasuke Hiro is not about that is about people gassing up talking about j Cole when last year 2 years ago people were saying j Cole is trash that’s why! If you real fan you will know where to find them mixtapes! Bet you know! “Warm up” “Truly yours” “Lights”mixtapes but ain’t nobody know about them Sunday Night Mixtape bet you dint now that’s a work of art listen to that!

[@bignibba2169]

@@RicardoM.6 Soo.. where can I get that

[@estebangonzalez2601]

One if the illest freestyles ever!! And he did it live fuck that would’ve been dope.

[@FlatHeadScrewDriver-d6g]

Man the energy

[@swimmin_eagle1165]

Friday night lights was that SHITTTT!!! He’s gotta open to “Too deep for the intro”

[@alexmathewmendoza]

I would've been right there with all the real ones who were screaming the words back to him. I'm proud to have been a Cole fan since 2009, I don't care if that makes me sound like a snob, it's the truth. November 2009, BP3 tour stop in Austin, TX. First time I ever saw Cole ever. Downloaded The Warm Up the next day and I've been a fan ever since.

[@cristiano1546852]

These ain’t no hits. These is classics.

[@taylorlewis967]

Thank you for this🙏🏽

[@joshuablackburn5770]

So refreshing

[@ThapakaziMobileGOBGaming]

Love it❤❤

[@Omilloadams]

Damn classic classic 🔥

[@cornelius-dinglebert]

[@phac3_]

This is so FIRE

[@the_real_boulder]

Cutting off Grown Simba after the first verse was criminal 😭

[@delshawnstevens6076]

I can not miss this next year I said that last year though

[@spacejamgoat9128]

Bro I just got so hyped

[@Amb252]

Going to the festival next month I'm hell of excited

[@AlexGarcia-dm5jw]

[@destinees7194]

Alex Garcia why would you even say that shit

[@dollaotfj9264]

Destinee S sad to say everyone has a death date

[@Amb252]

Man don't even say that

[@notmr.barocksonjohnson570]

When he does, just remember, he wasn’t nothin but a man

[@goodguymatt4030]

only classics

[@vacoby123]

Wow I would have loved to be there for this. But missing this to go to Something in the Water Festival was definitely worth it

[@latayshafitzgerald8359]

[@divineasmr6657]

If I was there I would be hugging the stranger beside me because we family now through cole 😂

[@angelmarquez124]

I wouldve shed a tear if he wouldve performed villematic, #1 favorite cole song

[@OfficialCaper]

Classic

[@machow]

no fkn way did he do this!!!!!!!!!!!

[@arsnst_sprtn2047]

I love how around the 1:43 1:44 mark when he says "I love hearing it" he looks dead in front (on the screen behind him) and you can't see his dreads he looks kind of like young Cole RIGHT BEFORE HE PLAYS HIS OLD SHIT that's genuinely unintentional symbolism imo hahaha

[@thebigbeardzone6058]

Dis my shit

[@Victor-mu8rf]

i would kill to see J.Cole live but too bad its harder when youre my age

[@swimmin_eagle1165]

Really wish I could make his set. Sooo much old shit them old Cole fans wanna here
