Couple's Reaction to J. Cole "Crooked Smile" (Featuring TLC)

[@Joey_Mendez]

I love the fact that Coach consistently compares the messages and feelings he gets from Cole's music to Love Yourz. That's actually J. Cole's favorite song from his own catalog, and he also consistently goes back to it when he feels like he's straying from what he feels is his right path. It really is a great song with an important message, and I'm glad you see it that way as well. Great reaction. Can't wait for more Cole.

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks. As more time has passed that one stands out even more as a favorite from him. The message is so good. Very cool to know h e feels that way also. Appreciate you watching.

[@nathaniellebuckley18]

The video pays homage to an actual incident that happened back in 2010

[@JefferyJaynes]

I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who got choked up a little bit watching this. Thanks guys, love your reactions.

[@CoachCastTV]

That was tough to watch. Appreciate you!

[@rATLRoAcH]

To add to the recommendations react to “To Summer, From Cole - audio hug”. Another great one!

[@matiengajustice2067]

That was based on a true story. It happened in 2010 in Detroit. A cop shot a little girl during a drug raid.

[@CoachCastTV]

Powerful video!

[@lik_e1843]

j-hope on street (wiht j.cole) pleaseeeee

[@MemphisMo]

“She Knows“ is an interesting J Cole video to watch as well

[@Ben-wi3vd]

Ok I would like to formally apologize lol I think I included this in "light-hearted" category when suggesting on a previous video. I think the song itself is upbeat, the video however.... yeah haha it's way more meaningful, but very heavy. For this suggestion, I can 100% say "on the street" J hope with J cole is light hearted. Loved the reaction as usual! Anyone telling you not to listen to J Cole has something truly wrong with them. Please keep reacting to his songs!

[@CoachCastTV]

No worries, we are glad we saw the video. It's powerful storytelling, and quite impactful. And you are right, the sing itself is pretty upbeat. Thanks for watching!

[@biscuitsfohandz]

2:12 she’s correct TLC is a group

[@Eclecticlly]

A light hearted song that not J.coles but is ft. him is On the street by J-hope a member of the hit Kpop group BTS that I hope you will one day check out as well because I think you will really like them. All their songs have meaning. J-hope is a huge fan of J.cole he is his idol and the reason he named his self j hope

[@melaaaavin9055]

I love the fact that you guys take your time and visit some of J.Coles Art. I wonder if you guys know that he creates all of his music almost completely on his own?.. Thats something I really love about him as an artist and what makes him stand out. :) Also its really worth listening to his albums completely, because they are coherent and always structured to tell a bigger story/picture.

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks. It was our son who introduced us to the music, as he is a big fan. We did not know that he does all that on his own. That's quite impressive. Obviously this isn't our normal music and we're sure that is easy to tell, but we realize he has an important story to tell, and we're trying very hard to live life with an open mind. Thank you so much for dropping by the channel.

[@Daniel.Karlsson]

Keep doing J.Cole. First rapper (outside of K-pop) to get me excited about hip-hop again for a long time. Thank you for introducing his music to me. Love your reactions!

[@CoachCastTV]

We truly appreciate you saying that. We've taken a bit of heat from some people for doing his stuff, but he's a very good story teller.

[@CalvinWalker32]

You should check out Lupe fiasco he is another great rapper.

[@Daniel.Karlsson]

Thank you. Will definitely look into him.@@CalvinWalker32

[@CalvinWalker32]

You should check out Lupe fiasco he is another great rapper one of his best songs is called around this way. Another great song of his is called hip-hop saved my life. He is a conscious rapper like j.cole.

[@rickybrown7126]

[@FixNewsPlease]

Get him Mrs Coach!

[@GuimaraesDreamers]

Really fun meeting new artists with you, I'm also trying to understand but I liked it 😅

[@CoachCastTV]

Yeah, out of our zone but we are trying hard. Thanks for watching.

[@kevinm5187]

Please check out “Lost Ones” by J. Cole. I’d love to hear you guys talk about the story and message in that song !

[@cowboat]

7:35 can't believe no one else has answered this in the comments, but the old "people are people" song you're probably thinking of is, well, "People Are People" by Depeche Mode! Anyway, great to see more J. Cole on here! I appreciate y'all keeping an open mind and hearing what he's saying as you've been exploring. I know it was a rough start getting thrown into the deep end with "Middle Child" first and no "translation" on the lingo haha. This video here ("Crooked Smile") is really haunting. Not sure if you noticed, btw, but the ending instrumental is The Star-Spangled Banner. J. Cole is a brilliant lyricist, but even without words, he says so much there. Little side note/tidbit, since you've been exploring Korean pop music as well, J. Cole actually did a collab with a Korean artist last year, who has cited Cole as one of the artists who inspired him to pursue music in the first place. I know y'all have mentioned wanting to stick to girl groups when it comes to Korean music, so not even gonna drop the track or artist name lol. I just thought it was interesting how this seemingly "unrelated" artist you've been discovering has also had a big impact on Korean music too. J. Cole's impact is huge-and for a reason!

[@CoachCastTV]

Great comment. He's definitely got depth for sure. And yes, that Depeche Mode song is what I was thinking of in the video. Thanks for that!

[@ImTriggerHappyCOD]

All the years i just noticed the cops daughter & his daughter was classmates/friends

[@SillyRabbit-t7z]

Lollllll they keep giving you heavy songs calling them “light hearted” 😭😭😭

[@CoachCastTV]

LOL, the song itself sounded pretty good...the video...just wow.

[@tophfb]

Subbed on the last video I watched! Really stoked to see you’re still doing more J Cole reactions! Like my last comment, I hope you guys do at least one Mac Miller reaction. He’s a white rapper but he’s excellent with his words, would often make his own beats, would sing and rap. Just a solid well rounded artist. Another awesome reaction though, guys!

[@CoachCastTV]

Welcome aboard and thanks for the info on Mac Miller.

[@tauraichigovanyika8430]

Social commentary at its best. That's what make J Cole special - His awareness of issues going around, and clearly his passion and willingness to make a positive impact through what he knows best - rapping. This is especially true of how his music has been evolving as he is growing. It's the story of Aiyana Mo'Nay Stanley-Jones, check it out online :)

[@jayefsi1501]

Great reaction, appreciate you guys still reacting to j cole, I forgot the music video was so deep 😂😂 A great song I recommend is” change” but it is not light hearted As far as light hearted I say No role modelz Kevin’s heart music video is a fun watch Power trip Lights please

[@CoachCastTV]

Thank you for watching, and for the suggestions.

[@elDiego1999]

Hey, love from Brazil! 🇧🇷🇧🇷 I turned on the notifications and I'm waiting for every J Cole reaction you do! Ppl in the comments are recommending you to react to their favs, not the songs that make sense right now 🤦🏻‍♂️ I'm a long time J Cole fan and I would recommend this for you: J Cole - Change J Cole - Neighbors (how dumb neighbors thought he was selling drugs, when he was actually recording in his new house - react to the song with the lyrics and then the video on his KZbin channel - and if you want it has a short video from a live show where he explains the situation) Royce da 5'9 - Boblo Boat ft J Cole 6lack - Pretty little fears ft J Cole J Cole - Friends J Cole - The cut off

[@CoachCastTV]

Hey, thanks for this info. We appreciate you! 🙏

[@elDiego1999]

@@CoachCastTV Don't thank me, I'm loving your reactions! Happy new year!

[@henrylindstrom2842]

Check out ‘Pretty Little Fears’ with Cole and 6lack. It’s an absolutely beautiful song about their lovers. Would recommend!

A lot of people live in a bubble and don't watch the news.

[@iwantmoney1239]

This video is actually based on a true story from my city, Detroit. Raid on a house, little girl, Aiyana Stanley-Jones was sleeping on the couch, law enforcement kicked down the door shot first asked questions later… sadly not uncommon🤷🏾‍♂️. Busting down doors and shooting automatically. They were looking for a murder suspect and only had his last known address, which makes a swat raid ridiculous. Threw a flashbang in the house that landed so close to the 7 year old sleeping that it burned the little girl’s blanket, as her grandmother was also in the living room watching tv. Suspect was not in the house😑 Edit: Officer Joseph Weekly was found not guilty for charges of involuntary manslaughter. I was 12 when it happened and i remember my mom being PISSED, and my stepdad was a DPD officer at the time too. They were filming A&E Swat and she kept saying “these stupid mothafuckas want to act out for this damn show going overboard and murdered a damn baby”. I remember not being able to go to my great aunt’s house for a while again because my older cousins were in the streets and she was afraid I would be that kid. Same thing happened before where I couldnt go over there for a year after some fools shot my auntie house up for some mistaken identity stuff because they ended up catching them and they stated, “i seen a guy that robbed me hanging around on that block and we thought he lived in that house” turned out to be one of my cousins friends that lived behind my Aunt’s house

[@CoachCastTV]

Wow...yes, these things happen. They shouldn't. Many people don't want to think about it or acknowledge it. They want to make excuses. There is no acceptable excuse for that. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share. Perhaps one day we can all live without that worry.

[@sayurioffenborn4960]

Role 1: coach is always right😆. Role 2: If coach isn't right, rule number 1 automatically comes into force.😂 A family role of mine, but with the father is always right.😜 My father always said it if the family have a disagreement.

[@CoachCastTV]

😆 🤣 Truth!

[@Gillie51-bl8su]

A very important message, but... 😭

[@CoachCastTV]

Yeah, no kidding!

[@learnnearnn5934]

Coach- you spoke on police accidentally running into th wrong houses. J cole - actually got raided and made a song called “neighbors” and th music video is the actual police raid. But on the up lifting j cole. I mentioned before. Check out his off season album. It’s definitely positive lol but thx.

[@CoachCastTV]

That's crazy that he got raided! Wow. There's a lot broken in the system. Appreciate the reminder about the positive songs. Many thanks!
