  • the song is fkn awesome :D

  • Dude said it best...the beat almost has somewhat of a sad vibe yet with a touch of inspiration. I've thought that ever since I first heard the track.

  • @theDolphino1123 trust me i know everything there is to know about it and yes i know how it started GM Cas and DJ Kool Herc and DJ AJ using old records at parties in the Bronx in the late 70s trust me i know. what i am saying is IN MY OPINION! J.Cole shouldve never touched it.

  • @VONAFIDE

    You are stuck in the old generation and don't even its own history. Hip Hop has been living off of other people work for decades through sampling. So no one should judge J. Cole for attempting to recreate it. Illmatic an even greater album than RDD was done justice by Elzhi with "Elmatic". Stay progressive, buddy.

  • 4:00-4:36 He just makes it look easy. Classic track.

  • @VONAFIDE logic murdered it on Young Sinatra, it was insane

  • No homo, but both these niggas got some plump, suckable lips, trill talk.

  • @VONAFIDE true

  • @VONAFIDE forsure, theres not alot of beats out there that are on the level of dead presidents, easily one of the greatest in hip hop history.My rise the riches surprise the bitches think harder, you know this nigga Jay-Z, Shawn Carter

  • @Tr0llinghard yeah he did i like Lupe i think beats like this are in a class of their own
