[TheSuirad]

OTHELLO IM READING!!

[Deejay3000000]

Take note mainstream . # Music&Essence = HIP HOP

[dodo71593]

been in a music slump lately but jay electronica was exactly what i was looking for

[Angie42843]

Damn! Mos Def makes shyt rhyme thats not suppose to go together!!!! but

This that black Elohim Anunnaki rap

That Farrakhan Akeem Olajuwon Qaddafi rap" (I'll Shyt Jay)

Original wins everytime. I can go back and forward with him and Mos on this one

[Angie42843]

Jay Cole came last in this race but he still held it down

nice track! We need more music like this. & this is someone

from the Souf (South) talking. Jay Elec my nigga but.....

Mos, Jay E, Talib, Jay Cole My order for this Track

[ysoljers]

wheres the dislike bar

[Biningonzamaldagoo]

Jay Electronica and Mos Def are the best here.

[silentnightspec]

There is much to be learned from this track.

[AesopTV]

HEY SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT I'M TRYING TO GET SOMEBODY'S ATTENTION. Listen to my remix on this beat on my channel, called BRAIN FOOD! and thumps up if you like it so others can hear it too!! GOOD MUSIC. If you doubt me, I dare you to give me a chance and have a listen!

[diamante1184]

"harbor lights shinin out the black power grid with the black power grip...and pure power don't power trip."

daym...Mos Def is the truth.

[ImBordCanYouTell]

Cole doesnt fit here. 

[SocrateezBlaze]

@ImBordCanYouTell what do You mean cole doesn't fit here, he dope

[Papparazzi18]

Did you here that fuckin Jay Electronica verse?!?!? He told you about his life and gave a motivational speech. What is your favorite rapper rapping about?

[Kasuwellmusic]

I love this song Im just waiting on a collab from kasuwell

[ThaBoyLxJustDatNice]

wow this shit was fire....a track like this needed to be done

[buccaneer1990]

Regardless every verse gets an A+

[lyricalgeniusgldwing]

they all killed it but talib and jay were tied for first

[4994rob]

This song is really good, to the artists and the beat cool man love it. Some chill shit yo!

[nickbutkowski]

pure pwnage

[Intertronlive]

@nickbutkowski show me your micro

[halozamus]

everybody did there thing on this but i think j.cole came on top

yo bitches check out my music you wont like it i guarantee it check out,"attack in the hood", nikes on feet,"and are single all she wrote.

[Psmurfin420]

REPLAY BUTTON MUCH!!!!!!!

[skrapycoco300]

jcole allday everyday you must be deaf if u wasnt hearin the realest! he killed it

[VyrusTheGr8]

LOVE THIS TRACK, Check out what me and my homies did to it, search VyrusTheGr8 - Just Begun if the video response doesn't show up.

[A094H2]

Act II: Patents of Nobility. Enough said.

[monteboy504]

JAY MURDERED DAT SHIT "WHO DAT" YA HEARD ME NEW ORLEANS STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaykman2499]

Idk if we heard the same track but Talib murdered it

[ThaSubzstance]

@oSoulx if u like kweli, check out 2000 seasons from 1997

[ThaSubzstance]

@oSoulx Yah people like to think  hes good cuz he can rhyme alot of the words in his bars, but unfortunetly he sacrifices relavance in order to sounds COOL. WHAT A FAG. he da opposite of 2pac. Kendrick lamar all day.

[ThaSubzstance]

lol people forget kweli. hes the best. J cole talks about absolutely nothing. HES BUNK. i like some of his mixtape stuff tho.

[YoungPrinceYPTV]

@oSoulx Umm.... how you deliver something... how you say something how you present something... like comedians need delivery with a lot of stuff... and even Presidents when they give speaches..But I'm thinking aout Jay Electronicas verse on here... and actually he DID have delivery... just NOT energy. I think I judged him from other tracks because on a lot of tracks he didn't have a lot of delivery I didn't notice till my bro told me... The reason I mentioned is because i was too critcized 4 it.

[DBZ4EVERNARUTO]

Whats up with you guys he said hes a rebel without a cause,

he also said he crept up without applause fed up without an applause

the game had its pajamas on

hes comn raw like he ant got one(condom) on

DON'T DISRESPECT COLE Idiots

But dont get me wrong Jay did Destroy this track... like EVERYONE else did...

AND if you think Cole is not socially conscious go listen to

2face,killerz,see world,farwell,carolina on my mind,

ACTUALLY listen to the Warm Up, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS mixtapes...

#COLE WORLD.

[YoungPrinceYPTV]

@oSoulx No it wasn't.... I didn't say anything about the speed or pace of his verse... all I said is that he lacked energy and it's true... you don't have to put in 0 energy to spit an intelligent verse.. look at Nas Immortal Technique Lauryn Hill Andre 3000 they all spit intelligent verses with passion and energy in theirdelivery... look atTupac his delivery was great.not saying you NEED delivery.just saying delivery is the finishing touch... like the cherry on top of the sundae.. sprinkles etc

[NiqueDaRookie]

It's not a competition, but if I had to pick who had the best verse, I'd give it to Kweli. Then Jay Elec, then Mos, then Cole.

[0xd34dx0]

The Roc Displayed domination on this Track lol..

J. cole and Jay elect.. happy they both sign to the Roc.. hoping for a Roc Nation Mixtape.. Jay- z j elect and J. cole..

[Crater56]

jay electronica and j.cole hold their weight in this track against two of the greatest wordsmiths of all time.

[Crater56]

@Crater56 with***** not against

[YoungPrinceYPTV]

@oSoulx I didn't say it does 2 me delivery isn't as important as others... It's just that Jay Electronica probably would have had a better verse if he would have had more energy in his delivery, most people expect like and want delivery in their songs. but as for me personally I don't really mind it... but I DO mind people judging me like you just because I said he was missing delivery doesn't mean I listen to BS everyday it means it's a fact that he lacked energy.. I listen to my self more.

[TrillmaticTV]

"I just wanna go to the slum and throw my money on the floor like the notorious bum" ill shit

[Samanhedif]

Build a home, teach a class, start a revolution.. SICK!

[ihceyno]

J.Cole has the perfect mix.. tight flows and punchlines in the right places

[bigvillian26]

let the lil homie speak FAYETTEVILLE STAND UP!!!!!!!!! west side cliffdale ryda 2-6 representa

[Jinnerarity13]

real music...period

[marioant123]

I thought this was going to be a mixup of Nujabes -Reflection Eternal beat at first. Hahah but it's not. Still a good song.

[YoungPrinceYPTV]

Jay Electronica was missing 1 thing.... Delivery... well he had it but not the energy like J. Cole....

J. Cole had the best verse to me....

Then Jay Electronica the rest....

[MrReman23]

@YoungPrinceYPTV exactly!

[CayennePeppaBoy34]

Jay Elec destroyed this track (period)

[THEJustinSimmons]

Jay Elect knocks cole out the water

[YunGinGilly]

So who's the first dude rapping?

[scrforever]

@YunGinGilly talib kweli

[YunGinGilly]

@scrforever Oooh ok thanks

[philipbourne]

Definition of Tressure

[MikelTheBossxX]

the first is Talib Kweli not Reflection Eternal

[keoni158]

@MikelTheBossxX smh..... learn the music b4 u post

[holidaykingston]

@MikelTheBossxX reflection eternal is talib qweli an dj hi teks group

[cosmonautiks]

Jay Electronica stood out amongst three great M.C's, two of which are legendary lyricists, the third is on his way.

[Jsalcedo23]

everyone's been SLEEPING on this song!

such an amazing lineup.. a dope verse from each.

[conedaddyfam]

@BMusic93 I said i was a fan...not a dickrider B.. dont get it twisted



[408Mandeep]

I am a J. Cole fan from the beginning, but you must be outta your mind if you think Jay Electronica didn't steal the show. Shit he raps about is insane.

[Jsalcedo23]

@408Mandeep

yeah jay went bonkers!

"This that black Elohim Anunnaki rap

That Farrakhan Akeem Olajuwon Qaddafi rap"

like who the fuck says that?

... no one

[0xd34dx0]

@408Mandeep Exactly how i feel.. i been with J. cole since 09.. but Jay Elect is so nasty. The ONLY reason i would prefer cole is become i can relate.. But Jay Elect is alot more intellectual than any OTHER rapper EVER... He is 2nd best of all time... Nas being the First.. But J. cole is alot more intellectual than most rappers are.. and doing to his Age.. thats amazing

[ss2lakhan]

Blackstar reunion!

[tazman91]

someone said it already, but I am saying it again.

Jay Electronica ABSOLUTELY owned this track.

[ironjoshi]

wow killer song!!!!!!

[el4twenty1]

best line : the funky four horse men & one more!

[SaVVySoSSa]

Why yall sleepin on talib??????

[ripwalter34]

JAY.FUCKING.ELEC.

[BWalka15]

Jay Electronic & J.Cole sound like biggie and pac

[marshbey]

@BWalka15 I agree thats the feeling i got when I heard this song..Man Them two brothers together had me vibrating on high. Jay dont get the props he deserve because he droppin high science thats over the people head. IF this was like back in the day them 2 brothers on the same label would have beeen running the game now.

[jjld90]

two words: Jay Electronica

[Chillyman010]

Nice!!!

[KizzyKae]

To those who say Cole doesn't belong, tell me what other new school mainstream rappers could hold their own on a track with these three legends?Not Big Sean, certainly not Tyga, and definitly not Wiz Khalifa. Not saying he had the best verse but don't sell him short he still killed it.

[missedmystep]

How am I just hearing this song!! 2 of my 5 favorite artist out now

Jay Electronica, Jae Apollo, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, and Big Krit

This song is dope

[skywalkr90]

r u serious??? 8 dislikes? ....ight whos ready to kill 8 people!!! lets go!!! ooooooo

[conedaddyfam]

Ayo! I am a Cole fan but he is not touching Talib, Mos or Jay elec on this song or any other. Hes nice but on this song his verse has no substance, and is lyrically nowhere near the other 3. Cole went mainstream and aint the same nowadays he needs to take some lessons from Wale on how to get bigger but stay true to hip hop

[diddisdiddat]

@conedaddyfam Bruh even with songs like Brekadown, Lost Ones, Sideline Story, Rise & Shine, Dollar & Dream 3 on his debut album and you say he still ain't stayed true to hip hop then I don't no what to say. 2 of those are some of the realest songs you'll ever in hip hop in the last 5 years or so.

[KArthurMusic]

@conedaddyfam Did you just compare Wale to J. Cole?

[BMusic93]

@conedaddyfam Wow I Knw U Didnt 1st Off J. Cole Will Always Be J. Cole Nd 2nd He's Gone Be The One To Change Mainstream Rap Into Hip Hop. Ur Not A True J. Cole Fan Becuz If U Were U Wouldnt Have Sed Wut U Sed Ur Impostor Fake. Nd I'm Sorry But Wale Aint Touchin J. Cole But Wale Is The Truth. Nd If U Were Such A Fan Of J. Cole U'd Knw HIs Songs On His Album Didnt Change A Bit Sounded Just Lyk A Great Mixtape Of His. U Should Be Ashamed.

[69killlluminati69]

@conedaddyfam his flow was on point though more than the other three but lyrically dude wasnt coming off nowhere near the other three

kweli:

Your bullet points so hollow they could prolly pierce body armor

that shit was sick bruh

[ludeman21]

@conedaddyfam "Ayo!" please STFU, you sound really ignorant. Saying your a J. Cole fan just so you don't sound biased is a part of old tactics COWARDS use.

The problem with people right now is we have the mainstream people who don't listen to conscious/ content music, but on the other end we have the insecure try hards who try very very hard to be "different" even though half of you didn't catch half the shit they said.

[RigoTheJzzr]

wtf are these niggas listening to? -_-

it seems like Cole aint even trying, he ain't really rapping about anything but he stilled killed this shit, Cole is the hardest nigga around right now that nigga is soo sick...

#ColeWorld or eat a fat dick

[jcolekendricklamar]

All who say J. Cole isn't socially conscious, go listen to "Lost Ones", "Breakdown", "Cheer Up", and "Killers"

[dtb1331]

@jcolekendricklamar Basically listen to "The Come Up" and "The Warm Up" The dude is a monster. A jack of all trades.

[jstylez33]

@jcolekendricklamar i feel the same way nd its mad annoying, he's the greatest of all time

[901greatness]

@jcolekendricklamar i only heard a few j.cole tracks and they werent every social anything but after hearding this imma check him out

[DR23KING]

@jcolekendricklamar Not to mention farewell, premeditated murder, the badness, and problems 

[jcolekendricklamar]

@DR23KING Yeah, "Farewell" and "The Badness" are my favortie songs from him.

[SoxOnTop1]

@jcolekendricklamar 2 Face, show me something, i get up..also..he's got too many to even name lol

[SoxOnTop1]

farewell is the mose relatable song ive heard in a long time

[DR23KING]

@SoxOnTop1 no doubt 

[Leezo2k10]

Elec owned this track, Act II gon be a classic

[919DopeBoyz]

Cole Murdered.... #ColeWolrd

[b3yondR3d3mption]

lmfao why is j.cole on here he doesnt belong all the rest of em came with power and knowledge he comes out talkng bout alcohol and bitchez lmfao ewww gtfoh

[detroit4lyf]

@b3yondR3d3mption i disagree

[AaronGcSkater]

@b3yondR3d3mption haha you're dumb, j.cole has so much fucking talent it isnt even funny. i think this is the best combination of artists since the beatles

[MrEvitcartta]

This song is amazing. Mos Def representing the intellectual side of hip hop back in the day. Talib representing that eternal flow, never gets old. J. Cole representing the newschool, and Jay Elec representing the rebirth of socially aware lyrics and relevant rhymes in hip hop.

[creamofthecr0p]

So Beautiful 

[junkhobokiller]

Mos Def( fucking legend listen to him)>Talib Kweli( Amazing flow and lyrics)>Jay Electronica( just listen to Eternal Sunshine, his too underrated)>J Cole( a bit above average, good storyteller, average flow, some good lyrics i would still pick him over lil wayne any daY) Mos>Talib>Jay Elect>J cole actually all of them and MF DOOM and LUPE FIASCO are my favourite rappers

[ripwalter34]

@junkhobokiller j cole is no where even close to average?

[Shatwb2]

@junkhobokiller how can u say a bit over average did u hear J. Cole lyrics on this song he lowkey shitted on everybody but Jay on this song!!!!!!!! and i specifically said this song not in generally

[Lumerse]

All they're missing is Immortal Technique.

[MrCommenterguy]

@Mr187crimeboss On this song: Jay Electronica> Mos Def> Talib Kweli> J Cole

WHy would you call Elect garbage? He's one of the most lyrically and conceptually potent MCs I have ever heard.

[dnwalol]

@Mr187crimeboss little troll.

[n3iRdi3b0y95]

too mothafkn epic!

[gunat00]

Its a good ass song to jam too so everyone tryna compare these great rappers shut the fuck up there all comin at diff angles of the game not whos better dam...smh

[creamofthecr0p]

[leapelite1]

[95illmatik]

Cole. 

[PdubzCrew]

WOW.

Blackstarr and Roc Nation collab.

[MrReman23]

J. Fucking Cole. Favorite Rapper. Soon to be a Legend.

[topdog90U]

@MrReman23 get off his nuts. We see how good he is tomorrow, and from what I heard he being oveshadowed by the compton boy.

[MrReman23]

@topdog90U shut yo bitch ass up hoe! im supporting my favorite artist like everybody else here.

gtfo my nuts

[Ferriswheeljunky]

@MrReman23 More like soon to be a sell-out.

[MrReman23]

@Ferriswheeljunky let's see

[THEJustinSimmons]

@MrReman23 J.Cole is nice but he is MAD hyped and he thinks he's the next Nas man gimme a break.

[MrReman23]

@THEJustinSimmons Everyone will be judged. How is he not the next Nas anyway? Have you heard Premeditated Murder? Lost Ones?

[THEJustinSimmons]

@MrReman23 both are nice but come on. What Nas started won't end til he's dead man he's the king. But if Jay Elect drops an album it's a wrap.

[MrReman23]

@THEJustinSimmons Nas is OK to me...

[THEJustinSimmons]

@MrReman23 Nas is OK to you? the father of rap is OK? who inspires you as a rapper? cause i know you're one.

[MrReman23]

@THEJustinSimmons Drake, Wayne, the whole YMCMB crew

sarcasm...lol

ok lets see

J. Cole, Eminem, Pac, Big, Old Jay Z, Masta Ace, Pharcyde, Never said NAS wasn't good, lil wayne from Tha Carter II and Drought Series, Busta Rhymes, OUTKAST!, uhh.. damn..who else i like... oh yea! Royce Nickel Nine, SlaughterHouse, and Black Milk #Detroit stand up

#Creez

[ThaRalpmeister]

Cole is one of my favorites. but DAMN. he just had the worst verse in this. I got nothing but love for him. but naw, not this time.

[MaxNkansah195]

jazzzy ass beat swaggg ahahahga

[TheMsRevolutionary]

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT

[jackel451]

@escue101 dats ur opinion, we have freedom of speech and free mind to choose...And he did kill it, everyone did its a great song.. So on that note COLE WORLD !!!!!!!!Stop Hatin Nigga

[escue101]

I mean I'm a huge mega fan of The neptune HUge!! but i dont dick ride all of their beats. I at least say it was ok

[escue101]

Can someone explain to me why J cole fans ride his dick so much?i mean yes hes a really dope rapper but he didnt kill this track!all the j cole fans i know say he kills evry song he's in when its obvious he didn't. And they always dick ride his production like its the best shit ever!like Hiipower off section 80. It was a good beat but GODDAMN!!it wasn't the best beat on that album.so can someone explain to me Y J CoLE FANS DICK RIDE HIM SO HARD

[tobtob180]

I also hear talib kweli in the first verse is that him?

[soniciscool1234]

@tobtob180 yeah reflection eternal is a combo of talib kweli and producer hi-tek 

[PdubzCrew]

This song is not a competetion..

you can go treat it like EPSN...I liked them all..all of them were dope.

[spic4life56]

this doesn't have enough views...its as if real shit is practically dead these days smh

[MrCommenterguy]

@wheela25 so Cole had punchlines and so you think he killed this the most?!

If you're talking intelligent lyricism Kweli took this:

'Whether it's god almighty or the almighty dollar/ we follow prophets (profits)...'

Your bullet points so hollow they could prolly pierce body armor'.

I have to go with Jay Elect on this, he was meaningful and lyrical.

[lwil2]

damn i'm just hearing this

[SuperBayboy925]

aye i know ppl post a million of these a day but plz gimme a chance..stop by and check out my page ima SICK RAPPER JUST GIMME CHANE!!

[BewareofAUG]

Jay Electronica shat on this..Cole had flow but no substance..

[wheela25]

ppl tend to hug on the nuts of legends like kweli and mos def, and no doubt they had good verses, and they are great, im typically a bigger fan of the Nas Wutang Kweli Mos Def etc guys even today, but jcole had the best verse, his delivery was better, he had dope punchlines, and he brought life to the track...plus cole is the next great legend, he is the answer to having an artist in the mainstream and cohesing the mainstream with meaningful rap!

[wyte69allnyte]

The truth.

[bigu236]

J elec has best verse, he has a much deeper sense in his words and a power that other rappers jsut don't contain in their genes...listen to "dimethyltryptamine"

[wheela25]

@bigu236 mmm, i believe cole had the best delivery here and some good lines...i like jay elec, good lyricist no doubt, but you cant really vibe to him, jcole is a lyricist, with a lot of appeal...cole is a very good artist!

[redchristmas]

Great Combination..damn! Black star & Jay Electronica fa sho! i know j.cole cold 2. its dat fuckin fire! all 4. jay should be a permanant add on to black star tho. if i wasnt already a fan of each..id be 1 now. im new to jay & j. but not that new. shiiid..better know about em. see this should be dominatin radio & video. more real shit gangsta & otherwise

[greg20423]

umm didnt biggy rap about bitches? didnt 2 pac rap about money, didnt jay z rap about jewls? know your fucking history ur not a wack rapper because u talk about money clothes and hoes ur a wak rapper if ALL you can talk about is money clothes and hoes LEGENDS have VARIETY and thats what hip hop is alll about

[lowerlevelworldhd]

Follow us @lowerlevelboys//HipHop Is BACCKKK

[holidaykingston]

i dont not like cole but he cant touch anybody els on this track

[jasona610]

@holidaykingston

like reading your comment about j.cole makes you what they call intermedial(retarted) ! =)

J.cole is a person that we need in the music world because these past artist are just soo damn lame lately an he is someone everybody underates an will soon love him once his album drops september 27 just saying

[TheAksports]

When he said throw up the diamond sign he meant the Roc nation sign :P

[Caron3Butler]

I have a story to tell you.

Talib Kweli and Mos def.

The end.

[0MydKnight0]

Hip Hop

[Sp33dyMik3]

Jay elec, Cole, wale and lupe on a track would end shit

[dmob2287]

Jay Elec went iiiiinnnnnn

[schwam41]

if Cole and Elec would collab... (jizz in my pants)
