[@brandonwilcox7411]

I don’t think people appreciate the level of maturity Cole had for publicly and humbly condemning one of his most popular songs and explaining how he let his hero down. Nobody in this generation is as real as Cole. Period.

[@ifakerr8369]

Have to admit I was sleeping on him until 2020. Off Season KD1 and KD2 on constant rotation in the whip right now. True lyricist Cole is a real one. ✊🏾

[@codawithteeth]

The line where nas says "Slick Rick was like jesus, E Rap wrote the bible" hit me hard. It shows that even our inspirations, who we look to like gods, have their inspirations too. They're mear mortal men, just like us, and it's easy to forget that.

[@orlanzo2621]

This is one of the many reasons Nas is my favorite rapper. He didnt even have to respond but he did, he let Cole know he had his back and was still proud of him and supported him. He was actually being a "big brother" to him and steering him in the right direction.

[@mutou36]

Nas is not just a poet or legend. He is also a man of the people. Nas is on the list of the goats not only for great albums, tracks or whatever, but also how much he cares and helps the culture.

Not sure where ive been but im ashamed to say this is my 1st time hearing this. As i listen to it with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart because of a fight and words exchanged with my adult son that i never imagined being said. This puts me in a mindset of a father talking to his son. I know you dont understand at times when i give you tough love but its done out of love and when its needed. If i see you going down the wrong path its my duty to pull you by the coat tail and give you advice or redirection. I want you to be better than me in every way. My bark has always been louder than my bite so at times try and look past the tone of my voice and absorb the lesson. I love you son..@ jcole.... @nas.... thank you for this. Its doing some healing in my heart.

Don’t never feel for the tough love OG it’s needed. As well as affection be there for him those small talks count big dog.
