[cypherg]

[wyzupmusic]

/watch?v=0tlG5qr1jPk

[CerebralPrince10]

Probably the only Jay-Z song I like. I hear it at the end of a major show/performance and it suits perfectly

[Bitchsuckdick12]

Like if you clapped at the end of JColes verse.

[simmonsdennis44]

[OfficialHazyJKing]

Cole World make way for the chosen one

[marlonsmyfuckingname]

i had to log into my brothers youtube just so i couled like the top comments

[GbreezY95]

Everyday beyonce's ass gets torn clap for em clap for em

[RafalOrton]

Omg I've got ad before this video

[Byuiso]

You guys must be crazy to think Jay would think about dissin Em, he is talking about how 50 and Wayne blew up but Em did some shit on another level.

He knows better than messing with a lyricist like Em, Nas taught him that lesson, and Jay seen 1st hand on Renegade, he isn't on Ems level.

Em and Jay came up around the same time, around the last 90s and both blew up around the same time, its just Ems was more..

They both blew up after their respected inspirations passed on.

Pac and BIG.

[aball010]

@Byuiso you right he not dissin em... but jayz came after nas... and before em.. at least in terms of their records. they were both hungry probably early 90s but jayz came out featuring on ppls song since late 80's

[1nzane]

fucking awesome

[MultiMon3y]

Jay... Dont applaud wayne -_-

[blaqwillow23]

This song stay on repeat.

[missedmystep]

This song stays on repeat JCole murders this verse

Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Jae Apollo, and Jay Electronica is all my ipod needs

[TitoKato1994]

Cole said Hov killed him in Mr. Nice Watch but Cole been killed Hov on this track right here.

[MrDoubleo4]

[12345orlmagic]

J cole is the best in the game right now! fuck everyone else Cole world!

[NikkiY023]

COLE WORLD

[doughboi565]

cole is nuts haha

[jGregz100]

I prefer Jay in this song, am i the only one?:$

[PdubzCrew]

Jay Z..wasn't trying to put a lyrical verse down..

The verses Jay Z put in were paying homage to people who left there mark in

hip hop..are people deaf ? ofcourse J. Cole would spit a better verse, that was his aim.

[KenAkaTheWG]

j cole since 08...

[BamdalaBoomx]

J-cole ft Jay-z*

[xPIethora]

@BamdalaBoomx im not hatin on cole but hes got a long way to go, hes like Kanye when he released Graduation, fucking awesome album but no one gave him respect as a rapper,

[4567992]

is j cole going to replace his mentor jay z as the number one rapper of all time? I think yes.

[bigstevethespeed101]

j. cole isnt new, hes been around for a while...your just hearing his shit now. Real Cole fan right here!

[lukeandben1]

@bigstevethespeed101 COLE WORLD.

[JLBEAR02]

j cole made this song what it is

[exy4fireman]

13 people were not born a star

[ilusmdrake]

A new star is born at 2:55 Clap for em (thumbs up)!! Can't wait for J. Cole's debut album Sept. 27th!!!

[CRoStubbs]

[Dooterlicious]

The top two comments are about J-Cole and will remain so if this gets voted up there

[DJaYxT9500]

[kenunball]

"The flow cold as a shoulder of a gold diggin hoes

[karan6]

Favorite song off the album, Cole Under Pressure MAKE DIAMONDS NIKKA!!

[RapWorldIsThis]

My rain knew {?} sun-shine

My reign Lulu's son

[dannyroks19]

When I used to hear this on the radio I thought it said "Platform'...

[TheEtherQ]

Dope song!! Check out "Made It" by Ether Q. A talented & exciting new rapper!

[lboynton427]

I slept with my ex on this song. Which is why I still remember it.

[crunkbronx]

@lboynton427 ew really

[lboynton427]

@crunkbronx really. It sickens me to think about it.

[smovveflight]

you can't say j.cole killed jay-z b/c they we're rapping about two different things. hov is talking about other rappers in the game and made it sound good which is amazing and j.cole was able to just flow

[lilitaly6963]

I'm quite surprised that Jay didn't mention Biggie...

[DilemmaHipHop]

@lilitaly6963 this song is about new heads coming up in the 2000's.. big dont apply to that

[trey695]

@DilemmaHipHop not true...mobb deep, wu tang, and a bunch of other ppl he named was way before 2000

[trey695]

@DilemmaHipHop you can't call yourself dilemmal hiphop and not know shit about it...IJS

[Musicman0903]

@DilemmaHipHop everybody mentioned directly in this song is still alive...notice no Biggie, No Tupac, no Easy-E, no Big L etc...

[SumthinMstBAvailable]

Hahaha my sister had me looking all over for this song. Except she told me the song was called Jay Z - Platform. I was cracking up when I told her no it's "clap for em" not "platform". And it's called a star is born.

[diamondjunior]

fuckin awesome song !!!

[TheAyyyyye]

jayZ let J. Cole go harder than him.. but Cole never disappoints!

Cole World: The Sideline Story

9/27, going to be the best album of all time. BE READY!

[Sp33dyMik3]

Flows as cold as the shoulders of gold diggin hoes when a broke man approaches.... DAMN

[boywonder0550]

TEAM HOVA

[johnbanks081]

#teamhova

[JOBLOSA]

LIKE this if YOU WANT to KILL JUSTIN GayBier!!!

[GeneralCormy]

J cole been around awhile, sick of people jumping on the band wagon, hes sick but hes not new

[mafia6644]

best song jay-z

[datboirb]

yall dumb. jay z could of easily out did j cole...but remember. dey on the SAME TEAM. he had to let cole get his shine on...and the song title is pretty self explanatory ; lettin him take the light

[darknlov]

I really only like this song because of J. Cole

[flyingtissues]

J Cole just embarrassed Jay-Z :O

[yungsav3645]

@BegReev real talk his voice is kinda similar to lupe

[clockendboy]

J.Cole is off the hook (people still say that right?)

[MrAbdi111]

2:54, click it, you'll thank me later, trust me.

[BIgReev]

hold up..why aint nobody commenting on lupe's verse...that verse was sick..."flow so sick thought he wrote the rap for em-no sir- the flow cold as the shoulders of gold diggin ho's when a broke nigga aproaches-told ya'll im focused man-i let you motherfuckers soak it in-clap for em"....come on...he gotta get some type of props for that verse...

[xxLittleBiggs]

@BIgReev lupe ???....

[1diantescott]

@xxLittleBiggs j. cole nigga

[BIgReev]

@1diantescott i was trippin...i thought J Cole just did the hook

[BIgReev]

@1diantescott i was trippin.... for some reason i thought J Cole just did the hook

[kevinx237]

@BIgReev this is when i first heard j cole blueprint 3...i think his new radio single or w.e is wack heard it boston jamn 945

[BIgReev]

@xxLittleBiggs okay...i was trippin...i stand corrected....i dont know why i thought that was Lupe...my bad....that nigga J Cole is an animal

[1diantescott]

@BIgReev because it's j. coles verse dumb ass



[BIgReev]

@1diantescott okay...like i said i was trippin...but easy with the name callin...Homie....

[22Eminemlover]

when it says 'clap for um' it sounds like its says platform

[KwazeepotatoXD]

platform, platform, platfrom...who else thought thats what the lyrics were...?

[DJAWSOMVSMRJOHNNY]

I heard on a interview that Jay Z rejected like 4 verses from cole, and just threw ONE verse on and made it last. J.cole said he was humbled to be on a track with jay, but honestly, i don't blame jay z. If cole murdered this track with ONE verse, imagine 4 verses.....R.I.P Jay Z lmfao.

[obengbia]

Cole Word!!!

[hayb123]

j. cole is lyrically insane but his music is boring as fuck

[jelanidoyle]

@hayb123 wat J. Cole songs you be listening to all his songs be mad hot never boring

[1diantescott]

@hayb123 your just lyrically retarded but it's alright a majority of people are

[crazyroon10]

lol I HAD THE ILLMATIC ON BOOTLEG LOL damn

[TheEaglesfanindc]

this joint is fiya!!! i shoulda got the blueprint 3

[MyErione]

[LilRicoTv1]

sounds like kanye prod this beat from that same effect similar to the one in power what yall think i say kanye prod this heat

[LilRicoTv1]

[Mrseamman]

[TheCENATION2011]

[dazza2151]

Jabbawockeez

[xXWazZIzuPXx]

@dazza2151 hahaha Mus.I.C WOOT :D

[CoolGuy95ya]

These rap references are fuckin' sick "Wu-Tang gangbanged it, Meth ate

Rae took on the date with the Purp' Tape

Passed on to Ason and then Ghostface

They had a hell of a run, standing ova- aaaaaaaay!"

Sickkkk, but Hell of a run? Wu still going smh lol.

[efonius]

I'm A Star.

[degeyboo]

they played this song yesterday in my talent show

[1997ernest]

nahh jay z really sucks i was a big fan of him he selled his soul to devil and now when i listen to eminem i see a difference eminem kills the songs

[dakunk1221]

j cole is the best new artist of 2011!!!!!!!

[IamSuperHuman1]

@dakunk1221 He was the best new artist last year. He's really one of the best period.

[boibad12]

@dakunk1221 Big Krit says Hello

[4567992]

@dakunk1221 to bad he came in 2010.

[macbrylle091188]

J cole kill it love it!!

Fuck Jay z love J cole!

[gamerCMM]

So, clap for him, then applaud Hov

He gave 'em a platform -J Cole

[i509711]

i like these verses. cause jay-z covers the older musicians and then j cole goes future/present. damn good song

[bonethugsfiend]

songs like this make me want to forgive Jay Z for screwing over Dame Dash.

[idontknowwhatimdoin]

@bonethugsfiend If you ask me Dame Dash was screwing over Jay Z , just look at how things turned out .Its well documented that Dame left the Roc with at least $50 mill & now a few years down the line he's broke & Biggs is in jail for moving weed ? smh. If you ask me Jay did the right thing in dumping tose clowns

[bonethugsfiend]

@bonethugsfiend how do you know he's broke? Are you his accountant? I'm guessing you're only going by what you've read in the media. Check out the interviews from Dame Dash and others explaining the real story behind the demise of Roc-A-Fella, and also look at recent interviews of Dame Dash. You'll see he owns large companies. I don't know how you define broke. Just cause he doesn't have as much as Jay-Z doesn't make him broke.

[kFoOLiSh15]

idt j. cole really killed hov on this track. but then again, he only had one verse, nd i think his one verse waz better than all of jay's. ahahah. imagine if they wulda split verses.

[gunzk00lc00l]

Now who else wana fuck with Hollywood Cole?

[hammertoe6276]

@gunzk00lc00l DAMN.... DAMN..... DAMN.... DAAAAMMN.... DAMN

[Rocko100Mega]

@gunzk00lc00l

JAY-Z OWNS THIS SONG -LEGEND BEST RAPPER

what is j-cole

[CRoStubbs]

@Rocko100Mega STFU. J.Cole is the future of hip hop

[RResistance]

i respect jay-z a lil more after hearing this hes paying homage...

[unitedguy]

Wayne scorchin, Ill applaud him

If he keep goin, pass the torch to him

? please dont....

Wu tang, standin ovayy ayyyyyy !

[damadhatterb]

am i the only one who thinks everyone is fan-boying j cole? he only had that 1 really good line about the gold diggers in this ..the rest of his verse was eh. i thought jay-z's flow was much better to the beat and actually had a continuing theme.

[BudoSosaKai]

@damadhatterb you obviously haven't heard any of J.Coles other shit he's unreal.

[jordanjay86]

@BudoSosaKai i agree with you homie. cole aint no joke. i mean i mess with jay and everything on here and i mean he had 3 verses to coles 1 but i just like coles verse the most. and the "wheel (will) like jada" line was ridiculous too yo

[DrDreTheKing]

This Goes Out To All The Fallen Legends R.I.P!!!!! We alwayz love you eazy, pac and biggie!!!!

[Kin9kicks23]

happy birthday to the G.O.A.T! the jigga man

[Mastad9006]

So i guess tomorrow is jay-z birthday? lol

[warrenflores0]

No offense to the song this is really good...... but star aren't born they are made.

[VINCEJisSONiCtheMC]

‎"The flow cold as the shoulder of gold digging hoes when a broke nigg approaches"

Cole outdid jay on this joint...

[JLDG4]

"The White boy blossomed, after Dre endorsed him; His flow in renegade....Fucking awesome"

Aint that the truth!

[M4x4p4c]

His first verse was the illest.........he mentioned the biggest stars right now...........50 cent, wayne, eminem, kanye.......

[bartolo333]

"...verse as cold as gold digger's shoulder when a broke nigga approaches" -J Cole

[lilruc]

@bartolo333 I KNOW RITE lol

[undergroundtrife72]

Wu Tang and Ghostface killah having a hell of a run? .....hahah are u fucking kidding me? Everybody in WU still makes fucking albums, and they all shit on Jay's music. Just cuz their not mainstream and sold out doesnt me they had a hell of a run and are out of the game? Jay is seriously a fuckin faggot. He is seriously the fakest sold our rapper ever. correct me if im wrong but I DONT THINK HE HAS EVER made a song honoring BIG L? Fuckin bitch ass trick i swear

[VINCEJisSONiCtheMC]

@undergroundtrife72 agreed. Wu is one of the very few groups where nearly EVER memember broke off and had successful solo careers.

[Mack11gunz]

do ppl die everyday too ?

[Superdavidsechannel2]

@Mack11gunz yes  people die everyday

[TshznBIZ]

when someone as big as jay-z can recognize all these great other rappers and say something nice about all of them instead of dissing them it really shows character

cuz think about how cocky kanye west is, he aint even close to jays level but still hes gotta go around saying hes the best and hate and blah blah blah

jay-z is just dope.

[DaKidBlam]

J. COLE IS COMIN UP

[SturkMusic]

Clap for em......

[jakobrasmussen1]

J. Cole and B.o.b = Future of hip hop
