A.L. & J. Cole - Top of the World (prod by J.Cole)

[masterm95]

Not close to lupes version

[joifd0000]

.... I'm here from Nardwuar vs JCole

[TheJharris23]

Thats right cuzzo

[Hollyberry619]

THIS IS MY SHITTT!!!

[cristianm316]

Cole over lupe any fucking day!

[CompletelyTactical]

can't touch lupe

[smoothest18]

the first rapper sounds like jay z

[tafmarasha]

@smoothest18 Agreed. I think Cole got AL on purpose, to make a point.. which is that Jay would've killed it if he'd taken the beat.

[aliasgr92]

Sounds like JayZ

[emceeSini]

I heard this sample from Drake - Beautiful Music

[MrDemillemorris]

are all yall crazy juelz santana was the first to sample this beat the song is called this is me from his album whats the game been missing

[Spinnazn1]

@alsav24 Nah bruh I'm saying Lupe and J cole sampled not drake.

[Spinnazn1]

@alsav24 Actually They Both Sampled Idris Muhammad ''Could Heaven Ever be Like This''

[BenFranklinMyHero]

whos this A.L. dude? i cant find him anywhere

[MyReedsBroke]

@BenFranklinMyHero hes the weakest shit ever thats why hes not big like j cole

[raccoonkkzyo]

imagine Jay Z's Voice

*JayZ Voice*

0:04

Im On Top Of The WOrld Babyyy

[TheGoGriffs]

Jay Z missed out on this beat because it is sick! They should do a remake for a mixtape or something

[madeira94]

What was Jay thinking? Oh well he's signed to him now, COLE WORLD 27th September!

[brionnakennedy]

Drake sampled this too

[crisu931]

J Cole's album September 27!!!!!! Cant wait

[BryanDirect]

drake made im coming when he sampled it

[HoodStyles2]

@BryanDirect Drake didn't make the beat. The song is called Comeback Season though.

[lumensable]

eminem and j cole the only niggas to have a better verse then jigga on his song besides the time Nas RIPED that nigga lmao

[Treyz16]

cudda sworn this was Jay Z

shit idk

[guiguipower]

Diggy Simmons sampled it too in his song called- I am He

[iJAEHCE]

This wouldn't have fit on American Gangster... but its hard!

[LEZTHEGOON]

Jay-Z,AZ & Biggie Smalls- Top Of The World {DJ LEZ MIX}

[dude101cool]

@kidhidef Lupe Fiasco - Failure .. Drake didn't sample it.

[DreamerBoyInc]

drake samepled this and since not to many people no this song it looks like its his

[johnnyrocket141]

J.Cole should've stayed on chorus. But overall, i beat the replay button until it bled. :|

[BklynHaitianCuz]

@johnnyrocket141 nah AL kilt the chorus

[thefocusedkitten]

Drake used this shit

[nathanielmcgary607]

it would be better if J.Cole was on the chorus, but overall this is the best fuckin song ever.!

[TheCrazz123]

I think this beat was used by Lupe and Drake.

[sarawahedi]

@TheCrazz123 buddy, j cole sampled lupe, get it right

[YachtClubMusic]

thumbs up if........ ah, fuck it.

[TheKingLK]

the first guy al sounds so much like jay-z

[cbcbc96]

A.L. and jay z sound far too similar

[antione3223]

this is the nicest sample of the lupe song. j cole went in on this beat.

[drea12392]

& they HIP-HOP is dead...#PLEASE! I beg to differ

[LEZTHEGOON]

man i wish j cole went in the studio  his verse would of been real good and clear

[GoodLifeXCRUZ]

is that A.L on the hook?

[101SuperXMonkey]

@GoodLifeXCRUZ Hook Nd First Verse

_ùsíng_rèfërral_còdè:_YoU600_à­nd_gôt_ä_600_döllar_bónüs

[somebodywhodoesnotca]

this is pretty much the same beat as lupe fiasco's "failure." i dont think j. cole produced this.

[TheMomochiMan]

@somebodywhodoesnotca The sample to this song is called "Could Heaven Ever Be Like This" By Idris Muhammad. Failure and Top of the World are sampled from the same song. That's why you think they sound the same....

[sand1eg0b01]

@somebodywhodoesnotca This beat is super old. Its sampled from Shook Ones by Mobb Deep.

[JustinDLozano]

Dope

[iiMy0tiiGgeRPo0H]

This Shit Hard AssFuck

[grtrecovery]

j cole is a better rapper than drake but drake does make music that SOUNDS GOOD

[CanoEsBueno]

@grtrecovery

And J. Cole's music SOUNDS BETTER if you're smart enough to understand his perspective.

[SinSeerMc]

THIS GUY MUSTVE PAYED ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS BEAT N HOOK

[SirDinje]

Jay-Z musta been drunk when he turned this down!

[Fahadhaq2006]

@SirDinje i don't think he turned it down, he probably just never listened to it

[scootersmiff67]

@SirDinjewatch?v=Ms0VyAclyb

[dwyaneflash006]

@SirDinje did jay even got to hear this? i think he didnt got a chance to.

[Colekiller14]

@dwyaneflash006 Jay had a chance to hear it, he just wasn't tryna listen to it,

[itakheem]

@SirDinje Turned it down cause Cole's was better than his.

[PrincexGeeTV]

dope ass track, A.L. did his thang real talk, J. Cole that nigga real talk.

[MobbDollars]

Cole world, no summer.

[alanmeza811]

[1beefstick]

@tetw34 J. Cole is not better than Jay-Z. No one is

[PdubzCrew]

@1beefstick

2pac would destroy Jay Z....

Saying J.Cole is not going to replace Jay Z is disagreeing with Jay Z...on an interview he said J.Cole is going to replace him soon.

You better get with it lol, he came up he warmed up hes next up.

[AlejoChris73092]

wow this shit should have been on american gangster. least after being dissed by jay, cole dropped mixtapes and got signed by jay.

[kc5493]

[NicolasYates]

original Sample:

Idris Muhammad- Could Heaven Ever Be Like This

used by:

Juelz Santana- This Is Me

Lupe Fiasco- Failure

Drake- Comeback Season

[AQGOAT24]

Originally, J.Cole produced this to get Jay to put it on the American Gangster album

[AyoliFlame]

"Where you been, who you been wit?" She scared he runnin' them streets with the freaks and them nitwits, look up in his face she see the bodily resemblance, read her more than a book, scared he inherited way more than just looks,,,,,DAMMMNN,, Reminds me just of me and my mom,, she goes,, Dang, you look just like me, I just hope you don't make the mistakes I made

[jcolecoleworld]

@AyoliFlame look up in his face she see the fatherly* resemblance

[AyoliFlame]

@jcolecoleworld Yea ik now

[saiyahog840]

Hey, dumbasses that say he took it from Lupe: No he didn't. They used the same sample, but Lupe's producer used a different chop for the main section.

[Wintaz101]

J cole + rap game= LEGEND

[Dyaytrumpet1995]

This dude got more flow then my house lol

[ItzMonStar]

this is prod by j cole?? damn he hella sampled Drake - Comeback Season ....hella beast shit tho man i like this song

[blownoffkush]

@ItzMonStar he didn't sample a drake song lmao he sampled the original song..

[HoodStyles2]

@ItzMonStar Actually Drake's song was a freestyle. The original was by Lupe Fiasco.

[CmCrz13]

@ItzMonStar nahh drake freestyled over this beat but the beat is originally lupe fiascos

[TheTez1990]

@CmCrz13 its the same sample totally different beat though

[CmCrz13]

@TheTez1990 yea thats what i mean

[o1CestLaVie]

@CmCrz13 j cole actually made this instrumental, it was mentioned in one of his radio interviews.

[TheTez1990]

@ItzMonStar u def dont know much about hip hop lol

[ItzMonStar]

@TheTez1990

i never heard the lupe version; doesnt mean i dont know about hip hop...i actually make music, you just listen.... :] i dont listen to lupe so i wouldnt know

[jhill56]

im pretty sure that j. cole didnt create this beat...but he do make hot beats tho

[kinglanky93]

[ThaPhantiim]

@jhill56

[RAJxSPADES]

@PowARABSWAG

When the beat drops it kinda kinda sounds like Lupe's failure , but it isn't ; Yeah i was mistaken too lol.

[BklynHaitianCuz]

@RAJxSPADES yea dey did use da same sample.. it sound oddly similar tho

[BklynHaitianCuz]

@RAJxSPADES yea dey did use da same sample.. it sound oddly similar tho and i think dis came out first

[PowARABSWAG]

@BklynHaitianCuz I don't think so, failure came out in 2004-2005.

[PowARABSWAG]

This is Lupe's beat, fuck J Cole he took it Lupe didn't take shit!

[PowARABSWAG]

@ninjaskills24 Your hilarious lupe is way more educated than this fag, just because you can't understand lupe's metaphors and word play doesn't mean he sucks, listen to some old school or lupe and get educated!

[JBizzle93]

Anybody hear the illuminate influence? Anybody?

[MrPropain69]

[saiyanname]

Is that A.L. on the hook? If so, he sounds so much like Jay-Z that I couldn't really tell.

[4547money]

[DeeRizzlee]

sounds alot like "comeback season" by drake. shieet if only j. cole did a verse on that track, would of been the sickest song ever.

[tbanksy21]

[xXNcREVENGERXx]

WHY HASNT THIS GOTTEN MORE VIEWS?!?! this should be the new shit right now

[poppasnow20]

@bigfrazdoe1 Actually this is J. Coles Beat Dumb dumb... you need to know ur shit, and this song is fake as shit... he just took the audio from an Interview that J. Cole did on the radio when he spit this unreleased verse. Usually i wouldnt blast a nigga like that... but J. Cole is my boy, so it is what it is

[berriencenter]

@poppasnow20 i think j cole sold the beat and rights to it and stuff after jay didnt take it

[liyahbaby15]
