Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole - Black Friday METALHEAD REACTION TO HIP HOP!!!

[@chasefleming7084]

Guess we should've told them that Kendrick and J Cole were using each other's beats

[@XxPetchxX]

Kendrick is rapping over 'A Tale of 2 Citez' by J Cole and J Cole is rapping over 'Alright' by Kendrick. These two songs came out on black friday 2015, when hype for a collab album between k.dot and J cole was at its highest. J. cole never did release anything that February.

[@29DarkBoy]

A Tale of 2 Citiez was released in the 2014 FHD album, so It's not possible to be released in 2015

[@Boog1137]

[@pharoh2700]

They rapped over each other’s beats

[@pharoh2700]

The beat Kendrick rapped over was J coles “tales of 2 citie”s beat.. j cole rapped over Kendrick’s “alright” beat

[@MDPK173]

Did people actually expect them to get it? They should've listened to Alright and TO2C first.

[@Bosilaify]

Facts, I don't get why they didn't hoenstly

[@MDPK173]

Well everyone just spammed Black Friday, barely anyone mentioned Alright and TO2C, so they didn't know and just reacted to Black Friday. I blame the viewers lol.

[@greenman394]

Bro Bourchier because people think Black Friday is the best thing ever, when it's just good. Even as a Kendrick and J.Cole fan this was just lyrical gymnastics and they have better songs to showcase that.

[@keletsochrisramavhulela4001]

The brilliance of this starts in the Album art (the picture). 1. J. COLE is much taller than Kendrick, so Cole stands and Kendrick sits. 2.Then kendrick's Name is put higher and Cole's name sits. 3.then in the background they're leveled up centrally and do not face each other (challenge) The goal being to make them look as equal as possible! Props to whoever did it

[@Aaron-ix8zh]

Damn i did not see that way. Thats crazy

[@Christian-yv6cw]

they tried their best to make it look equal but still kdot washed cole

[@noname772fp2]

@Christian way back when I first heard this I thought the same thing but the more you listen to it I think Coles verse really killed just in a different way, but I do still think Kendricks verse was superior.

[@YemayaIndigo]

What I like about this channel is that the n-word doesn't make them angry. They just joke it off and be like "well, we can't sing along to this song" and it's funny. They aren't trying to say the n-word or are bothered by the fact that people would get upset if they said it. They just brush it off and talk about the rest of the songs content. I'm a new subscriber because of that! Thank you. And you guys react to my favorite songs!!!

[@adamb4667]

Kendrick is rapping over a j Cole beat and Cole is rapping over a Kendrick beat. (Fun fact)

[@puupipo]

Adam B This is pretty important to know, actually.

[@peterc431]

It probably helps to explain what that means. I gather from how they spoke about it, they may think they produced the beats for each other. So if you guys are reading this, they rapped over each other's radio hit singles with their own freeform/freestyled raps. Check out 'J Cole - Tale of 2 Cities' and 'Kendrick Lamar - Alright' for reference.

[@Xsia1]

Really glad to see you guys finally getting some merch to make some money! You're spending tons of time making these videos and surely not making much income from KZbin due to copyright laws. Nice to see Black Friday as well!

I don't know why people would recommend this and not recommend the originals first so they have an understanding coming into this. Kendrick rapping on j cole beat Tale of 2 cities. Cole rapping on Kendrick beat Alright

It probably would have made more sense to know that Kendrick was freestyling over J. Cole's song (A Tale of 2 Citiez) and vice versa (Alright).

[@someguy9571]

[@finsimple4396]

I love the whole concept of this channel. The fact that people from other genre's give Hip Hop a chance and aren't close minded like lots of people who assume most rap music is just talking over a beat. Even though you won't catch a lot of the lines in a lot of songs in reference to other Hip Hop artists, songs, albums etc. or simply because you need the ear of a Rap fan to catch some bars, it's great that you two give it a go and appreciate the talent in the industry. I'd also love to know some of your favourite artists (across all genre's) so I myself can explore other genre's.

I know someone already said it, but Black Friday was them rapping over each others biggest (debatably) songs of their previous albums at the time. The J Cole song is called "A Tale of Two Cities" and the Kendrick song is called "Alright". Both great songs! Thanks for the reaction and your perspective fellas! All the best.

The premise of the Black Friday tracks is they rap over eachothers beats. Just noticed that you guys didn’t realise that. Other then that love your guys reactions 💪🏼🔥

[@spice3411]

The beat that Kendrick was rapping to was originally from a JCole song called A Tale of 2 Citiez, and the beat that JCole was rapping to was originally from a Kendrick song called Alright. The collaboration was released on November 27, 2015 which was also Black Friday here in the U.S. Before the song was released there was a rumor going around that Kendrick and JCole were going to release a collab album, and I guess this was there way of acknowledging the rumor

[@alejandraespejo9]

Omg guys finally! I'm so glad you listened to this. I know that Kendrick has a unique sound but to me this is Kendrick going to the basics. And J.Cole let's be real he's not human haven't disliked anything I have heard of his yet. Love y'all keep up the amazing reactions. You guys are amazing. 😊

J Cole: Kenny loftin, killers, tears for odb, 4 your eyez only, 3 wishes, young simba, revenge of the dreamer, window pain, and let nas down. All of these songs are amazing story telling. Let Nas down is a song he made in reference to hearing about Nas (his idol) disliking one of his (at the time) recent projects. Nas actually came back with a response to the same beat called Made Nas proud.

[@gerardorojas6322]

Just to clarify they flipped beats off of each other's album Tale Of 2 Citiez - J. Cole (Album: 2014 Forest Hills Drive) Alright - Kendrick Lamar (Album - TPAB) And it is called Black Friday because that is essentially a shopping holiday in America where items are heavily discounted and sometimes sold tax free. It is the day after Thanksgiving.
