J COLE - THE CLIMB BACK FIRST REACTION & BREAKDOWN!! | THE REAL IS BACK. AGAIN.

[@cliffordjamil]

Cole is a GENIUS he said “the steepest of mountains they climb, I’m tryna find the derivative.” In calculus if you take the derivative of a function that has a constant steep slope the graph of the derivative will become flat and constant. Basically saying y’all can climb the steep mountain, I’m going to take the flat shortcut to success. 🤯🤯🤯

[@taylorbailey8787]

better check in with Cole, don't want to misquote him the way the app be misquoting him lmao

[@HoopingTheBeat]

Man, I'm so happy I found your channel. Nothing wrong with other reactors, but you're definitely on another level with these breakdowns... legit feels like we in class. Channel already big but gonna blow up for sure, keep doing your thing man!

appreciate it man...its a slow growth but im here for it!

@@TheThirdErnest I was in tears the first time I heard that 😂 I also like when he switches his flow and raps kinda quite "Okay, the choices are clear, ho Ubers are not around here, ho Taxis will come, but they real slow"

[@chriscarguy]

dennis pugh that lil dicky flow is smooth!

[@jimmyribeiro7785]

I gotta comment now. I never do that but now? I have to. You have my fullest respect for how you catching these bars that fast and that good like. Even a blind man can see and a deaf man can hear your eloquence. Its fascinating. And not one dislike. Thats how it should be. Keep them coming like you always do ernest ;)

[@TheThirdErnest]

Jimmy Ribeiro aye I appreciate it! Definitely try to be unique and stand out. Thanks for rockin

[@jamesb8818]

J.Cole is for sure my top 3. this is a great year for music.

[@jessicap5262]

Cole went off, this was fire. Just want you to know, from watching you so much (over a year now) and how you explain the wordplay and rhyme schemes - that I can now pick up those things in songs I know well, that I didn't notice before. And since I've been listening to Juice Wrld's new album I realized I picked up a lot more than I normally would have and pay a lot more attention to production. So - thanks my dude for educating me while entertaining me 😂

[@TheThirdErnest]

ayeeee dope!!! thats definitely the reason for the channel!! trying to train ears lol

[@the1fortheages]

Yep. It's the fastest way to make sure the artists of today work hard for their shit. Put out wack shit, the educated listeners put them on blast, now they gotta work 2wice as hard. Otherwise they trash... gotta keep these artists work hard for their bread, since they living off of us, the fan. Cant be mindless no more. Keep them accountable.

[@mohammedrazibulhaidertoha8606]

"Just to get by for a limited time, the Steepest of mountains they tryna climb I’m here tryna find the derivative" - a derivative is the gradient function of a curve, which is the steepness of the curve, Cole really out here spittin flame ‼🥵

[@rishabhagrawal6672]

Probably 1000's of reaction channel and fake breakdown channel on KZbin but this man is on whole another level. Im here since he had 4k subs and i can say he's a GOAT when it comes to breakdown. Love from India 💓

Bro you can just see his excitement when he heard this track.. you look at the way he does other song reviews and you never see him this excited... thats how you know what he defines as true rap music.

[@mantra2333]

Ernest that was a hardcore breakdown man. I am big Fan of J cole and so happy that you covered him.💯💯💯

[@ograndumb6562]

After the Totem Pole Bar he said and they Told the Po. Like, snitches to the police. I think that was a shot at 69 🤔

[@TheThirdErnest]

oooo damn I was processing that totem pole line so hard I didn't even hear that!! fire af

[@ograndumb6562]

TheThirdErnest Yo it’s an Honor to be able to point that bar out to you so you can appreciate it. Been following you since the beginning and have always loved and had respect for your opinions and analysis on music. You deserve the clout you’ve been getting. Did you know Logic followed you on Insta? 😂

[@the1fortheages]

Look at how they told the po. Is that what you is talking about? Dayum...had to dig...im terrible at finding these bars... this is why i watch ernest

[@dennispugh7368]

Sounds like he says "Bass masters, look how they towed the pole" (told the po) so I'm guessing it's also a fishing bar. Fisherman tow fishing poles behind their boats

[@adamkerrigan6707]

It’s a fishing bar about towing the pole behind a boat. He says tow the pole

[@kundai08]

This guy's ear is different. Him and Stevie Knight dissect every bar deep no surface level shit. That's real love and appreciation of the art. I hope he blows up!

[@kati5271]

woke up to the new cole songs and immediately after listening went onto ur channel. had a feeling you would react to it. been following u for at least 1 year and never been disappointed. The smartest reactor out there. keep doing what you're doing!!!

Out of all the reactors I watch, you by far are top tier. The way you appreciate the art of hip hop is very clear in every video. Your knowledge of all aspects of music comes thru. The way you break down the lyrics, schemes, cadence from A to Z is not like any other channel. I always look forward to watching you. I definitely appreciate music more than I ever have and that is because of you. Thank you😁

Much love your way to another art lover cuz that's what Jcole is. He needs his 💐 while he is still here! and listening to amazing 🎶. Thanks for actually breaking down the barssss as well. (:

Ayo so I just found this out today I need to tell y'all this because Earnest needs to react to this shit So, I don't know if y'all know, but the offspring of Wu-Tang got together and formed 2nd Generation Wu and I'M NOT HEARING ANYONE TALK ABOUT THEM 😤😤 The group consists of U-God's son iNTeLL, Method Man's son PXWER, Ghostface's son SUNGOD, and Young Dirty Bastard(self explanatory) PLEASE react to their songs. They have 3 so far. 7.O.D., New Generation(including a remix featuring Method Man), and LEGACY DRIP

Lmao mans tweaking

[@yungguns1370]

Kendrick has his place, but Cole is my favorite rapper. And this is hype for the new album got me just wanting more

[@TheThirdErnest]

Kendrick is out of this world but his album are like renaissance works of art. Carefully thought out and elegant. J cole is more of the graffiti artist. Just as impressive but a whole different medium

[@yungguns1370]

I feel that, I feel Kendrick and Cole are just the new age Pac and Big. Kendrick being that west coast hood poet, and J Cole being the east coast laid back rapper that is just a whole vibe to listen. While they both are talented, and speak on real shit its just pick your poison. And I just connect with Cole's style more I guess.

[@jeunonn]

the more I go down the reaction hole I find people who actually break the bars down for people.
