WHAT IS THIS FLOW??? | J COLE "A M A R I" FIRST REACTION!!

[@RandomRuffian]

Hes talking about Dennis Smith Jr who played for the Knicks and is from the Ville

[@salvadorsoto1012]

You’re correct, and DSjr is a “country boy, never seen nothing. Except a triple beam jumping”

[@justjayallen8744]

"Jr catching it off the backboard" is a reference to a NBA player named Dennis Smith Jr. Who is also from Fayetteville, NC. Our hometown. Dennis played for the Knicks.

[@CCDPNC]

2-6 over everybody. That bar was for us.

[@justjayallen8744]

@@CCDPNC on God. Only a few would catch it

[@Dragon_warriors481]

Ok that makes sense. Why didn’t he call the song Dennis or jr or something like that instead of amari

[@K3Byn15]

@@Dragon_warriors481 he named it after the dreamville label manager’s son

[@ChrisReacts910]

the Dennis Smith Jr disrespect is ridiculous

[@taylorbailey8787]

5:00 I believe the word you're looking for is "swing", his cadence is swung (lands on the off beat)

[@angel4496]

Only took 9 seconds... This how hyped I am

[@isaacpacetti7294]

Amari is the name of Bas’ nephew. Cole named the song after him

[@schmitt9826]

Cole's manager is Bas's brother too, that's wild

[@BearHeadedWerewolf]

This track got me more hyped than any of the other tracks tbh because of how different creative Cole was on it. The use of his voice, the offbeat flow, and that beat was fucking wild.

[@nf_jp4660]

Amari is fighting for the top spot as my fav track off the album with my life and let go my hand

[@eduardoperez5010]

WE GON DO THE WHOLE ALBUM!!! IM HERE FOR IT

[@nnaemekasama]

Amari is Ibrahim Hammad's son (Cole's friend and manager) I think it means MIRACLE.

[@w4rm_]

Actually in Latin (ot Italian where I came from) AMARI is plural for BITTER

[@ryangrenert9790]

It's also a expensive clothing line

[@jessegonzalez1843]

Which is why he said “Made it out, gotta mean something”

[@BuddhaBoiBrett]

​@w4rm_ okay but this is an Islamic name so it doesn't mean that in this case

[@kobakareli]

This song is FIRE man, the flow throughout the entire song is so damn good to me. Definitely my favorite on the album

[@Laska_00]

Cole dropped a classic! 🔥 can’t wait for you to get to pride is the devil

[@daelaenor]

Best song on the album hands down

[@Blonde-ocean]

My guy! You really have the best reaction channel 😂 got to your channel from “the search” now we just rollin!

[@TopherATX420]

Imagination turned the honda into a wraith, double there, just like you said he used to pretend his honda was wraith, but also, his imagination and ability to write dope music literally turned his honda into a wraith....fire....straight fire

[@johannagarcia5772]

Your grind for your channel never unnoticed we appreciate you! Truly the greatest reaction channel :) Much love

[@DemeilJacobs]

Amari, the name, means Miracle. I don’t know if that plays into the songs theme or what. Cole is talking about him coming from the struggle so I have a feeling that he’s saying it’s a miracle he made it out. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@karioreacts3374]

Facts

[@thebeatmajors_yt]

Amari is the name of his friend and managers son

[@OrlandoDUG]

i was digging the changing lights last vid lmao, but it was taking my concentration away like crazy

[@TheThirdErnest]

[@rauuuuuuuuuuuuul]

I was waiting for your reactions to listen to it with you for the first time. Your the best at this Ernest!

[@crowleyking7258]

This is the one i'm vibing with the most. Honestly, the verse from 1:12 through 1:40 ish might be the best verse i've ever heard

[@jonahward4771]

[@abinaichandu6738]

May your channel grow more bigger,one of the best breakdown

[@AnthonyWarrickArt]

The basketball reference is Dennis smith junior .. from nc and plays for the knicks

[@OfficialRevelationmusic]

I listened to the whole album and smoked 5 blunts and this song has a Roddy Rich vibe

[@TreyMac4]

I thought the same, Roddy & maybe a lil Lil Baby vibe

[@whitlosapien]

Blunts the only way to go for this album. My wife and I did the same.

[@kogrady2409]

I feel that Roddy Rich vibe!

[@jonathanmorales1638]

[@lauraliranzo]

Much support from DR 🇩🇴❤

[@dynamait]

Amari, yes! Chef’s kiss! And, as others have mentioned, I look forward to your reaction to Pride is theDevil 😊 Also, Punching the Clouds and Let go My Hand. Wooo!

I’m not sure this is about stoudemire because his name is spelled Amar’e and not Amari. Also the line: “Now I’m at the garden sitting half cout Watching Jr catch it off the backboard” Is about Dennis Smith Jr who played for the knicks for a little while. He’s also from Fayetteville and he’s mentioned him before on a lot

[@MyKeal]

damn i thought we left the term mumble rap back in 2019 its cool tho. also "jr" is referring to dennis smith jr who from Cole hometown. Dunno why the song called amari honestly .
