2023 and we still here. I’ve actually never seen this particular video. Such a classic song

[@BlTERS]

something about dudes voice. he talks directly to the soul man

[@Fromthasouth13]

No doubt

[@selenaaugustina9613]

For real.

[@AvaneeshYadavkingoftheworld]

Icy voice ... hits hard

[@michaels.8244]

BlTERS agree the voice is everything in an artist. Voice of reason, voice of honesty.

[@mrsrose6634]

Just like Tupac

[@NearMedia]

I hate when rappers perform live and there just yelling in the mic. J.Cole actually sounds like he does in the cd.

[@cyberk1ng_]

Susanoo yes!!!

[@chrilborn4138]

He produces so that's probably why, he actually knows how to control his voice

[@jeffiejdklads]

Duh its j cole

[@adielbenitez1305]

It’s called singing

[@fizzoli]

Best live performing rapper I’ve ever seen

Eyes Closed Through Out The Whole Song. Internalizing Every Word He Spits. True Artist.

[@Flip_The_Lens]

This song helped me with math because I didn't know what reciprocal was and I had a test on it and i listened to this song for the first time and he said flipping like reciprocals. long story short I got a 100 on that thing. THANKS J. COLE

[@metalflames4]

Lol how old are you if you dont know what a reciprocal is?

[@Flip_The_Lens]

just turned 16 when you wrote that comment so you do the math

[@metalflames4]

Felipe Banks 15? People usually learn reciprocals at age 11 or 12?

[@Flip_The_Lens]

Look I live in Atlanta Georgia who has one of the lowest learning rates in the country so excuse me for not learning it when everybody else did

[@tonym4308]

He's so passionate you can see it in him. He had his eyes closed the whole time... You can tell the lyrics are straight from the heart.

[@ValerieAlFo]

Cole gives me goosebumps. To me, he's the greatest, most legendary rapper of this time. I love his music so much, I wish I could visit his concert in two weeks. But I couldn't find anyone to come with :( Cole World

[@thechickable]

This is a tad late, but I just wanted to tell you that I know sometimes you want to do things with other people, and there is not one single thing wrong with that. However, tomorrow is not promised to any of us, so if you have an opportunity to do something, do it. Do not miss out on life because you "couldn't find anyone to come with". I am speaking from experience. When you start doing things by yourself and you come back telling people how much fun you had all by yourself, trust me, they will begin to tell you that the next time you make plans , let them know so they can plan to go as well. Life is too short. Enjoy it when and while you can. Plus, you as you grow you will find that most of your life is spent doing things solo anyway. GOD Bless!

[@Sandra-jv7jt]

I went to his concert and a lot of people went solo. I would have gone solo too.

[@muhammadpatel606]

Man you should go on your own i just went last year only knew one other person who fucks with J Cole but he couldn't make it. Didn't stop me had the time of my life.

[@michaels.8244]

ValerieAlFo 3 greats J.Cole, King Los, & I’ll throw Kendric in there as well simply because I loved M.A.D.D City.

[@gregorioramos3129]

@@thechickable ^This! Solo you born, solo you die. Gotta learn to be comfortable with ourselves! God Bless.

[@stephaniee3428]

The fact that he rapped that whole song with his eyes closed.

[@tonym4308]

I discovered J Cole with this song. Took me about 4 years before I decided to really check him out. I'd been vibing on this song alone all along

[@rachelalvarez1328]

This song came out when I was pregnant, and basically this was my soundtrack at the time! I kept my kid left her dad

This man is a lyrical genius! Conscious rap is what it is. Where are these types of hip hop nowadays? Black men men be doing useless rap nowadays and is a turn off for me. Much props to Mr J Cole for such an inspiring rap , 50 years from now am still gonna listen to this track.
