J.Cole “Produce For Jay-Z” Freestyle

“The son came up out that womb yo, a star is born…”

How’s that for clairvoyance? Before J.Cole made a mark on The Blueprint 3, he was an upcoming rapper known as The Therapist. While on his grind, he tried to get Hov’s attention by sporting a t-shirt emblazoned “Produce For Jay-Z Or Die Tryin”. Until now, photos of the actual shirt have remained a mystery. But thanks to Scoop DVD (and YouTube), here’s a freestyle of him donning the tee at the now defunct Baseline Studios. You’ve come a long way, baby.

  15. Citylivin' says:

    @Truth
    how long have we gave Waka Flocka, Gucci Mane & Soulja Boy a pass, and Soulja’s on the Forbe’s List??…….(waiting for an answer)…….ok then, shut up!

  16. Black Shady says:

    Cole> Drake

    COLE WORLD nigga…3 below zero

  17. LUCAS says:

    COLE>JUSTIN BIEBER>DEMI LAVATO> DRAKE DRAKE IS A TALENTLES fAGGOT. THIS NIGGA IS CORNIER THAN JUSTIN BIEBER ! “OH I MISS YOU , I GET LONELY AT NIGHT, TAKE MY hAND “—— GTFO BIITCH ! DESPITE ALL THE BUZZ FLOP ME LATER SUCKED ASS ! ONLY NIGGAS THAT LIKE DRAKE ARE QUEERS ! HIS OVERRATED BITCHASS IS EVERWHERE ! THIS NIGGA HAS NO TALENT !!!!!

  18. Truth says:

    Soulja Boy has sold millions of records and produced platinum singles. Waka and Gucci have albums out and have credits under their belt and im not a fan but they’ve done more than this dude. I like Cole but he’s gonna be just another good rapper with Talib Kweli and Mos Def and Immortal Tech. The ppl who survive in this game are those who sell records and top the charts. Think im lyin. See where Cole is a year from now. No matter how good you think an artist is, without creditals to back him He’s just another artist.

  19. iHate says:

    Real rap: Lupe, J Cole, B.o.B.

  20. IZM says:

    @Truth

    U do realize that Talib Kweli and Mos Def have been around since Blackstar in ’98, wheras Souljah Boy has been around for like 2 years and Waka Flocka about 1? Even Tech has been rapping twice as long as Gucci. I mean your own examples prove u wrong, stupid gimmicky rappers are the ones that flare out after a few years after the gimmick gets old. The creative, talented dudes that stay making real music are guys that get a full career in this industry.

    Cosign^^

  22. illaDeuce says:

    Why do people keep calling drake and thank me later a flop?? Shit was like almost gold first week and I think its platinum now… Drake was grammy nominated before he even made an album… Like I’m bias cause I’m from Toronto, and i still feel he shoulda made his debut album more about rap and less about singing, just to show people he’s a real rapper, cause believe me based on his mixtapes that man can spit. But I understand if you don’t like his music, or think he’s corny, but you can’t call him a flop or try to say hes not doing well… he’s doing amazing! success wise, that boy good.

  23. Truth says:

    Not true. Even the gimmick rappers still make music. No one just stops makin music. All im sayin is. Cole needs a hit or he will cease to exist. Period. I like the kid and he deserves hot 100 success but he just not delivering and that is sad. If your a true fan you should want more for em

  24. IZM says:

    Im confused then about what exactly u want from him, cuz its coming off like youre just kinda hating. U claim to like his music, why would u want him to change it? More than anything it seems like youre arguing that an original, talented young artist should sell out like Drake and start making pop. The dude is gonna be making more money than u or me for the next 10-20 years anyway, I very much hope he keeps it about the music and not the money or fame. As a true fan, Id rather see him do him than anything else.

  25. Citylivin' says:

    u don’t need no hit to stay relevant, look at Wiz Khalifa. he selling out Jay-Z type show numbers and he just released his first mainstream video…

  26. Haters are annoying--> Android, Mac Weasel, Lucas and others says:

Cant believe u taking the garbage side.

  28. H84NOREASON says:

    J. Cole and Drake should do a record together on some Meth vs. Chef type shit to end the speculation about who’s better. I think Drake is more catchy than J. Cole, but I like J. Cole’s flow better. That would be a dope battle/song. Personally I think Drake would get @ him.

  29. JDot says:

    Cool vid.

    Cole World!!!

  30. Belize says:

    J.Cole is one of Jay’s best signings…
    so don’t let us down!

  31. Truth says:

    There’s nuthen wrong wit pop music. MJ did pop music. I want the dude to have a number one is all im sayin. You dont have to sell out to get a number one. He can be himself and make a hit. But hey if he cool where he at then so am i. I just thought every artist wants to top their success by achieving bigger obstacles. He is sellin out venues, got the underground crowd, etc. Now wat. You stay comfortable? No you reach for Eminem status. You go for the gold. Maybe i want too much for the kid. Forget it..

  32. […] a video that RR dug up: J. Cole (pre-Blueprint 3) spitting a freestyle in a “Produce For Jay-Z” […]

  33. Shzntt says:

    I’m a J. Cole fan, i agree with what you’re saying @Truth, i liked “Who Dat” but i don’t think it was a good single to come out the gate with, I think Who Dat is a little to agressive for the mainstream ears! I think he should have dropped Lights, Please or Higher or even Dreams as his first single, but even with that said i beleive he has time to conquer the masses because he’s ambitious and very very talented. So i believe he’ll reach em eventually. J. Cole Cole World!!

  34. Sjprada says:

    freestyle was on the come up! i need that new mixtape tho cole c’mon nigga its october..

  35. Jax says:

    Young Cole went in on that one.

  36. Soulja hurricane cris says:

    J Cole aint beat sod-mg in a rap beat. So get out the way pretty boy com n threw- rap better or leave the game to the cool kids

  37. Young Mo Fo says:

    He was Therapist (The Rapist). Idk if the name is purposely like that or its a coincidence. 8 years from now, hes going to have a rape case like Kobe…watch lol.
    But wheres that mixtape mannnn??

  38. kid VisionZ says:

    @thruth

    If you think this dude is in it for the money your all wrong, his perspective on a good career is totally diff from yours. sooooooo, yeah, good try tho.

  39. Jason says:

    Not true cus any artist who puts their music out for sale expects money right. If he wasnt in it for money he would not make a retail album. He’d give us a bunch of free music. So yea every artist is in it for money. He dont do concerts for free does he. Exactly

  40. Young Mo Fo says:

    CoSign @Jason

  41. the Kingmaker says:

    the said A “SUN” came up out that womb…not a son. Cuz stars are suns. Far-away suns. just had to make dat clear.

  42. Mr RD says:

    I know J. Cole is nice but that was probably the nicest ive heard him spit. That shit was so crazy.

  43. JBrix says:

    You can’t fuck with Cole Check his mixtape there classics. He has something the game needs right now CHANGE!!!! Niggaz complaining where’s the real hip hop AT?? its because you niggaz requesting that garbage they play on the radio so labels are looking for artist who can produce that trash. If they actually saw that the fans wanted the 90’s hip hop back they would look for those artist. Drake is a radio artist Cole is a Street artist. Drake for the Ladies and Cole for the people. Also on the note Cole doesn’t need a black berry. Just take a listen to Cole’s mixtapes check out songs like “Mighty Crazy” where he shows his “LYRICISM” and shows his production skills. For real cuz dat word is you too loosely these days.
