It's so amazing to see how the torch is passed in the rap game. Rakim started off idolizing the Sugar Hill Gang and other early hip hop acts, then Nas idolized Rakim, and now J. Cole idolizes Nas. It's beautiful.

Cies The White okay I'll tell you this, Cole has got different vibe, he isn't just "rapper" he is musician maybe he hasn't got skills and abilities like Kendrick got, but you can see in his music how honest he is,as I know also he often visits jails and helps young talented artists. he put J.I.D in rap game and he is going to do more, I don't judge this two by only their music I judge them by their whole character. I don't say that Kendrick is fake or shit something like this but I really didn't like his dependence about other artists in nowadays music.He dissed Drake for having ghostwriter and then he made feat with Rich The Kid(I'm don't hate him but his whole creative work is trash) also he dissed some of my favourite artists in control for just sales,I don't like how he tries to get viral and shortly there are many things which I don't like and it's hard to explain.it's just my point of view and I don't offend anyone who disagrees me.both got great background and they don't deserve to be underrated or underappreciated

J Cole is always real to me. Beside his obvious talent I love how he just seems like a nice honest guy.

Eric White Yeah I respect that man, I'm just saying it's far from "the greatest rap I have ever heard" for me. Besides that, I think there's way too many underrated emcee's who could only dream to be in touch with Nas on the level that Cole is. So I don't think him writing a song playing the victim is the right way to go on this issue. It's still a decent track tho

@ericwhite8990

True I agree with ya to

It seems J. Cole is saying that Nas was actually trying to say 'he didn't have to put out such a commercialised track, he's so good he didn't need to'. That's what the Nas saying "he is the one, doesn't he know that?" comment sounded like.

In his response, ‘Made Nas Proud’ he proves this comment to be correct. It was a part of that tough love to help Cole grow. I’m glad he vented on a track, cause Nas would have no idea how he felt. And now, the same crown Nas had under.. belongs to Cole. ❤️

I like how he throws the lyrics from the song into his explanation too perfect.

Why people suddenly dissing Nas. Nas was saying hes the one and he shouldnt sellout. Nas knows this best, he put out I Am... And Nastradamus. Nas is trying to stop J.Cole going down the same road. Check Nas remic. He says the radio hit was necessary but withoit him dissing that track Cole would have gone a different road. You can tell hes matured

J Cole, you inspire a lot of us bro. keep pushing.. I heard this song after i have let someone really important in my live down and I was like, 'I can relate'

J cole is another prolific artist that I love, his pure honesty in his songs that always touches base with society and the everyday struggles that we face on day to day is just sensational. He's awareness of himself and the environments around him and always reflects that in his songs are the reason why I started listening to him from the beginning. His evolution over the years have been incredible, and the older he gets the better he gets. He sheds light to the very problems that are often swept under the rug, definitely one of the best lyricist ever. J cole fan for life. ❤

Let nas down... A good way to show your fans how you feel. what I mean was you the type that will never let your fans down.

I guess it’s just that it’s pop rap, and Nas knew he was capable of more than what was a corny sample-carried song. I personally think it’s decent

Amazing his growth from that time to nowadays where is at least top 3 rappers in the game at the moment selling out world tours. I enjoyed born sinners, but imo everything he did after that album was massively improved

Great insight. I heard the song the other day.

Long live fayetville and NY son love you cole

Still one of my fav cole songs

This album is amazing my favorite J cole album ever

brilliant insight there. Thanks!

J. Cole is so real ... An Incredible artist and an incredible man

Lupe, J. Cole and Kendrick are few of the people keeping the game alive. Lupes Food and Liquor 1&2 and The Cool are beautiful works of literature and lasers did dilute his image, however Lasers still is better than 95 percent of the other albums out today. Kendrick and J are up and coming legends

Besides his talent I admire his honesty the most hip hop has been missing that for a while

cole is just an amazing artist man he doesn't ever feel rehearsed or fake his just the absolute realest rapper out there

definitely best song on the album. Amazing. I love J Cole

I will always be a J. Cole fan.

that was my favorite song on the album and the album had no skippable songs for me.

Work Out is a great song and J Cole is a brilliant lyricist so he can get away with making a "radio hit" from time to time. But honestly music is music, let my baby rock lol

I low key miss this Cole. But I respect the man he is today wholeheartedly ❤️

I think it will J cole has a huge buzz right now

Long live the idols may they never be your rivals

so true and Joey's album!

J. Cole is a real guy. I respect him

I'm glad J. Cole made Work Out, it's a fun song

J Cole explains himself better than most people

I think you guys misunderstand Let Nas Down. I admittedly thought the same as you guys from the first listen through, but if you actually listen to the lyrics, he goes from lamenting to defending his choice as the right one regardless of what guys like Nas had to say. "This is for the nigga that said that Hip Hop was dead, I went to hell to resurrect it how could you fail to respect it" "Apologies to OG's for sacrificin' my art, But I'm here for a greater purpose, I knew right from the start"

Labels are archaic, formulaic with they outcomes.

This is pretty ironic considering he pulled a similar move w/ "You Owe Me" featuring Ginuwine and "Ochie Wallie" years later on QB's Finest.

let nas down touched me and you made nas proud

cole reminds me a lot of Kanye when he first came out. hope he learned from his mistakes and does go off the deep end like Kanye pretty much has

The song's that good that we already knew all this information by just listening to it

Honestly I don’t think he really explained anymore about that than what the song itself had already explained. But J. Cole is just that great of a storyteller 💯

Even if it doesn't Cole still wins with that classic

J. Cole Best Rapper Alive

J Cole Born Sinner is worth buying no lie

"Dont he know that he's the one"

Yo hes from my hometown

I never understood the "hate" on Work Out, I always loved that song lmao even if it was please the industry in a sense. I still think it's a great song even with the context

fast fowardd

Actually, if NAS himself put out an album like ILLMATIC in 2013, you'll get praise from the super duper rap heads, maybe, but it would not have the same impact either. Radio play and mainstream appeal highly matters if you are an artist on a major label. There is no way around it. BUT, there are plenty ways of playing the fence pretty well, to still stay true to yourself. Every record doesn't have to be this complex, underground sounding boom bap record, and vice-versa.

Work out is a great track

Let Nas down is a classic 👌
