We heard it live, but now that the samples have been cleared (Shouts to Kanye and Paula), Coley Cole finally breaks a sweat with the first single off his debut album. Produced by J.Cole and Elite.
Sony Music Employee a.k.a J Cole Album Is Never coming out says:
Really cole? REALLY? Its iight but you want to sell and break out with this? LMAO. good luck. sounds like a soulja boy beat. i can tell ya this album already aint classic with this shit on there. this is kinda cheesy but whateva
YaaaBitch says:
Think he dumbed down too much. Still gunna support though.
ChriZ says:
STOP THE POP/SELLOUT COMMENT BECAUSE I KNOW THEYRE COMING
Listen to lost ones, you dont sell out when you make shit like that. its a single for a reason. far from pop
Sony Music Employee a.k.a J Cole Album Is Never coming out says:
i just listened too it all and yeah this is mad cheesy
WE GONE RIDE says:
THIS SHIT WACK MY NIGGA
NYC says:

Mbod3 says:
Swag me the fuck outttttttt
Black Shady says:
I see people hating already. This is dope!!!!!! Its the single…wat did u expect…another ‘PREMEDITATED MURDER’ or something? C’mon man!!

COLE WORLD!!!
gerold says:
Not feeling it..
Jax says:

Bx Slime says:
^ Congrats J. Cole you got haters already, can’t say I saw this coming…regardless this song is heat.
BiggMar says:
This Shit Is Perfect For Summer, Cole World, BITCH, No Blanket!! Slick Ass Sample!
Drea says:
If you see some haters point ’em out haha
COLE WORLD!!!!!! Get strategic, fuckers! This summer is Cole’s.
Citylivin' says:
*waits for the J.Cole slander*…..if he can get that Rihanna crowd to rock out to this, he won.
PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
Just Sayin says:
I’m disapointed. That’s all I can say.
NYC says:
This was most likely a forced single by RocNation cuz he needed a commerical track to promote himself.
Winston Churchill says:
why ppl say we are haters? its a fuckin OPINION not everybody has to like EVERYTHING our favorite artists drop u asswipes. I am a j.cole fan but this shit is fuckin corny and I KNOW he can do BETTER.
Daffy says:
Dope sample, even better song. Great 1st single
I WRITE IN CAPS LOCK CAUSE I'M insecure says:
cole world
nisani says:
ima huge jcole fan, but this is a total disapointment. couldnt even make it thru the first verse. ima still cop the album, jus hoping i dont come across too many trax similar to this one. 2 thumbs all the way down.
Kareem says:
I’m a big Cole fan…he gets a little too generic sometimes, though.
I like this track.
nahh says:
Big J.Cole fan….this isn’t what we came to love him for :/
hazz says:
He can do better than this for radio spins. Cole >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Warm
THIS IS LIKE “WHO DAT” MIXED WITH “IN THE MORNING” MIXED WITH “DISGUSTING”, WHICH GETS YOU DREW GOODEN… BACK TO THE BENCH WITH THIS ONE.
PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
Lyrykal says:
Heard the live version a while back and i gotta dis song is average, 2face woulda been the perfect single for him. Who dat n 2face > work out
Post no billz says:
dope
flute says:
this is some bullshit
Mr. A From Tha T says:
Im not gon lie the that sample is annoying, that first verse was ill, but i thot Coley would bring some harder shit than this, not nessasarraly song meaning wise, im juss kinna like, we waited for an album that is pretty much a year old recording wise, barely gave whereabouts that it existed, sayin you gon own the summer, and we get some candy ass shit, now dont yall jump my shit like im bitter, J. Cole is GREAT, i just wanna hear this “Second album thats like 70% Done” if this is how the shit gon be
Bx Slime says:
Get used to hearing this on your favorite radio station…One song won’t mean the whole album will suck, Im still copping this album.
This is the song right here! Cole World nigga! and somebody always have to hate…get a fucken life
RedRocBoy says:
Shit Dope. Perfect club song get the girlies going. COLE WORLD let’s go.
JussM3L0 says:
Cold World, Real Cold World
BiggMar says:
In Not Gonna Lie, Imma Big Cole Fan I Was Expecting His 1st Single To Have A Feature On It, Either From RiRi/Beyonce or Trey or something like that didnt really expect a solo joint with a wicked ass sample! but either way, GREAT SUMMER TRACK!
The Best says:
Man i really was expecting more from Cole, what a disappointment with this track. I was rooting for him, but try again light skin Jermaine.
PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
flawda says:
If this song is getting hate on the hiphop blogs, that means it will be successful in the real world. Hiphop heads are some of the most out of touch people ever, ya’ll want that man to brick and put up Canibus numbers. The song is a good summer song and radio joint, he can’t put out no shit like Lost Ones and think it will sell or get him a release date.
Codeen says:
I’m not a big J. Cole fan, but I don’t see what’s wrong with this song. Of course we know he can come harder than that, but understand most of his songs don’t have much mainstream appeal. He needed to make a song that will sell and appeal to the public, and this is definitely it. It’s not sellin out, its gaining attention so people will look out for your album. BTW, See It To Believe it is album worthy. Love that song. So smooth
Billy says:
YOU NIGGAS SAYIN J COLE THE NEW PAC
FUCKING DISGRACE
Billy says:
JAY-Z DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT THIS NIGGA
JOIN THE WINNING TEAM AND MAKE GOOD MUSIC
JAY-Z PUNKING THIS NIGGA INTO SOUNDING LIKE KANYE WEST
TheCool says:
This shit nice af. Dumbed it down a bit for the radio, without taking away what makes Cole fire. #Heat
Brahsef says:
Man, that was some chill shit. All good.
LP says:
THOUGHT COLE’S SINGLE WAS GONNA BE A CLASSIC… THIS IS NOT CLASSIC MATERIAL! …. GUESS A THIRD TRY WONT HURT
Sweeney says:
Damn, after that new Nas, rappers are starting to sound boring. And I’ma Cole fan!
Black Shady says:
I co-sign @flawda ; if niggas on blogs saying its a flop…its gonna work on the radio!!! and THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS SONG
COLE WORLD!!!! no motherfucking blanket
Mr. A From Tha T says:
okay yes everyone whos hating is just pissed that we cant get a single from Drizzy, its growin onme more oldschool hiphop-ish, sample,hook,verses, put it out- we’ll see if it works “Kanye Shrug”
The first listen was disapointment but the second was great,
Shut the fuck up haters, Cole World is the best thing that has happened to the music in a long time
Jimmy's Dad says:
I KNO WHAT YOU FUCK FACES THINKIN….”J COLE SOLD OUT!”
NOOOOO!!! ITS JUST THAT YOU BITCHES DONT KNO HOW TO BLEND IN TO GET A HOLD OF THIS FUCKED UP GENERATION OF LITTLE BRATS!!!!
PROPS J COLE!!
J. COLE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>YMCMB (YES, INCLUDING WAYNE & DRAKE)
NuJew says:
Even the “radio” won’t play this shit.
ghost says:
Man I really started feeling cole but this is worse than anything on cole world or friday night lights. Looking forward to the cd but step your shit up youngin. And you famous now don’t produce all your own shit you ain’t kanye
flute says:
@redrockboy, what club do u go to? THe Cooka Monga cracka club? This would be a bore in the club..nigga has failed to deliver..Hov wasnt bugginng when he wanted to drop this guy. I hope u guys now believe that Drake is the better artist!!
Later says:
Good, but you can do better cole. Who Dat was a better single!
AS A FORMER RADIO DJ… I KNOW DJ’S WILL NOT BEING PLAYING IF PAYOLA WAS NOT IN THE GAME.
J. COLE IS A COOL RAPPER, BUT CANNOT PUT TOGETHER A SONG.
HE NEEDS A NEW CAREER. WANT TO GET INTO LAW LIKE ME, COLE?
PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
COLE MUNDO says:
WAIT A MINUTE…SO NIGGAS WOULD BUMP DRAKE’S GAY POP SHIT, BUT HATE ON THIS!!???
YA’LL SOME FAGGOTS FORREAL, AND GOT HOOKED ON THIS NEW GENERATION OF PUSSIES!!!!!!!!!
COLE WORLD NIGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
gerold says:
Dreams Money can Buy >>>>>>>> Work Out
SMH.. and I wanted J,Cole to win but Drake is this generation’s King
still best rite now!! says:
I’m Gay (Im Happy) >>> Cole’s Album
Jcole is turning into LeBron..he thinks he has the crown but he aint won shit yet. i thought he was a product of Pac, this some PDiddy soundin shit
COLE MUNDO says:
@PHILLY LAWYER
Nigga you in Philly, no rapper in philly is getting Played on the Radio!!!
so your a lawyer & a former DJ? hahahaha Riiiiiiight, and I’m Barack Obama!
The beat is dope, but someone needs to tell Cole that you don’t have to completely dumb down lyrics for mainstream singles, there’s a fine line between Mos Def above your head shit, and simple ass Bow Wow shit. This is a dope song, but isn’t really worth all the hype and the long wait behind it. I can rock with this though, hope it does well on the radio, and I’m still expecting the other joints on the album to be dope as hell, I still ain’t listened to Lost Ones but hear it’s some classic sh*t, hopefully thats what the rest of the album will be like then
Therm says:
Dope ass song, niggas who get out from the house gon respect, geeks who sit at home gone hate.
[…] J. Cole – "Work Out" ^First radio single from Cole World. Reply With Quote + Reply to Thread […]
Burundian King Vth says:
He always try sing !!!!!! thats what fucks him up ! Got damn cole, just get a female or some nikkas to do the hook or some… like “leave me alone ” is dope as fuckkkkkkkk !!! Shit gets irritating ! Real talk
mike s says:
If any of cole’s dudes read this, some advice: grab a drake hook, maybe a weeknd hook, 40 beat, and spazz and the track man. You’re an amazing lyricists, I’d hate to see you not succeed. But you just cannot make radio tracks, which is probably a good thing. Get some buzz off it, and move forward with you career. These radio tracks sound awkward and forced bro, if you keep making them you will most likely be dropped and stay underground forever. Come on, you’re on the cusp of success, real talk just try it. You saw the success of ‘in the morning’ there’s nothing wrong with aligning yourself with artists that make real hip hop crossover tracks!
Bx Slime says:
Why are we still comparing Drake and J. Cole. I Fux with Drake he is talented, but J. Cole is on another level in pure mic skills. The same clowns that were hatin on Drizzy when his singles came out are the same people hatin on Cole right now.
Abe says:
Dope dope Cole knows what he doing. At first I wasn’t feeling it but it’s a good song for mainstream without going wiz khalifa.
Word says:
Cosign @flawda. I dunno what the fuck yall listening to. This shit some good music right here. Soon as this ends up on iTunes its getting bought. Pop? Hes sampling Kanye. How the fuck is this pop? I dont hear no pop singer on it? Only thing I aint like too much was the best but shit was on point. Imean Return of Simba plus Lost Ones plus all the other stuff he put out, im sure Cole capable of putting out some Grade A material for the album. I can see this getting spins. Even if it dont, hey, In The Morning gets more than enough spins. I woulda actually done something with Drake on it for the single. Or something more like Who Dat cuz I preferred that song but this song is great too. Eager to see how far this song goes. Remember kids, Cole World. Summers his. Just give this some time to heat up. And I like the Basketball/College motifs this guy uses. Im in College, I like basketball. Hey, theres a fanbase right there. I gaurantee ppl support this guy. Papoose? LMAO. Fuck outta here. Papoose never even cracked the Billboard. At least Cole has. As a guest artist and otherwise.
zezzoi says:
This is hot
Sam I Am says:
In The Morning and his feature on that Miguel track were perfect radio bangers. This is so-so
FIRST OFF, i MAKE MORE THAN YOU. SECONDLY, I MAKE MORE THAN YOU.
THIRDLY, I GET PAID FOR THIS. I KNOW AND PRACTICE THE LAW.
I DJ’ED DURING UNDERGRAD… IT’S CALLED A SIDE HUSTLE.
BUT WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT A J-O-B?
BY THE WAY, J. COLE IS DOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!
THE UNIBROW UNABOMBER CAN BLOW UP IN WEST GERMANY FOR ALL I CARE.
HE WILL NOT GO GOLD IN THE USA. BET.
PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
Word says:
I see the haters in full force tonight. Nice try guys! Keep the hate giong strong all night okay? Try to get some sleep though while you in your moms basement hating hard.
Winston Churchill says:
I cant understand how some of you niggaz can acutally like THIS shit? i mean i respect ur opinion and shit but THIS? REALLY? ya’ll been waiting 2 years for THIS? wtf? we except mediocre shit all the time we get used to it. I MEAN REALLY? ya’ll niggaz are gonna be walking down the block like “work out for me?” REALLY?? wow
Lyrykal says:
U know the song sucks when a fan says “the song is dope … To me” cole is about to experience what drake went through when “over” dropped. Im on one, marvin gaye n chardonnay, dreams money can buy, racks on racks, nasty, how to love, anne, marvins room >>> work out. Premeditated murder, too deep before the intro, 2face, who that, in the morning > work out… I know cole fans gon hate what im about to say but if he want that smash hit, he def need to call drake n 40, boi1da n t-minus for that monster single n y’all know it. If he think he can do it on his own he is looking at 100k – 150k first week. Wiz did 250k and he had black n yellow. What does cole have, workout? I want him to succeed and i ain’t a huge fan plus he is a good rapper not all that talented. Lets be honest, when it comes to lyrics he ain’t the best now. Slaughterhouse will shit on cole with ease and fart in his mouth on a track, he ain’t even near dedication 2 weezy and his stans make it seem he is the greatest ever.
That QC,Charlotte, NC Guy says:
“Fifty told me go’head, switch the style up, and if they hate just let’em hate and watch the money pile up . . .” – Ye.
hate ME now. HoeBitches!!!
still best rite now!! says:
if youre being honest with yourself, I think this is probably Top 3 worst tracks we’ve heard from Jermaine. how can you defend this if u want Cole to succeed?
MVC says:
You guys are dumbasses. He drops tracks like Lost Ones and Return of Simba, Puts out classic mixtapes and you wanna turn your back on him? This is better than some shit like Roll up and my last. Its creative too. Too much techno rap nd shit on the radio.
Ok says:
Does anybody know what song he sampled
hey says:
this doesnt sound at all like radio/single material good song tho
JDot says:
Dope..
Cole World..
eminemback says:
he drops striaght fire all year and his first single for an album ive been waiting for so long is so thrashh, he aint painting pictures of hope wit this one, and he wus turning out to be one of my favorite rappers, lost ones shud of been his single, that song is deep, but this shit aint deep, im prolly never gunna listen to it again, hopfully hes doing dis just for radio play and his album is still raw bcus im still lookin forward to it
ZoomZoom says:
THIS IS FUCKIN WACK TRY AGAIN JERMAINE!!
DRAKES SOPHMORE ALBUM DROPPING BEFORE COLES DEBUT= HAHA!
I SEE THE HATERS WHO USUALLY HATE ON SHIT LIKE THIS FROM OTHER ARTISTS ARE BEING BIAS AND SHIT!
illie says:
DOPE. Sick sample
Bx Slime says:
@Ok
He sampled “New Work Out Plan” By Kanye West – College Dropout and Paula Abdul’s -” Straight Up”
eminemback says:
return of simba wuld of been da perfect single instead of this garbage, disappointing, this album is suppose to be a masterpeice but now bcus it has dis it cant be, smh drake all over again
Damn niggahs hatin hard tonite!He some where not giving a two fucks.I fucks wit the single good choice #ColeWorld
Lyrykal says:
Follow me on twitter @lyrykal more muzik shit happening, and y he gotta yell cole world in every fucking song?
That QC,Charlotte, NC Guy says:
Nigraz will never be satisfied, they’re too selfish. Real J. Cole fans, I mean people who are fans of J. Cole the person and everything he stands for understand this move. No it’s not Too Deep4TI, I Get Up, Enchanted, The Autograph, Premeditated Murder, the list goes on. Deezam respect the man for giving you that and a whole lot more shit. and support some good music, Honestly no it’s not the greatest song of all time, not the greatest Cole song in the slightest, but I’ll be gotdamned if it’s not a genuinely good radio single for the summer ladies.
#COLESUMMER,COLEWORLD
Be proud North Carolina.
Chunk says:
This is the shit. More creative and unique than literally every one of the singles Lyrykal listed.
CJ says:
I agree with a lot of the comments on here. J. Cole is my nigga but idk if he knows how to really make a proper song. The hook sounds so generic you would think he was joking. I don’t think he should have sampled that Kanye song either it’s too weird.
In the end I think he could’ve picked a better single even though it’s still I good song and I have faith that his album will be a classic.
Protest says:
Hip hop has been letting me down
CJ says:
Also I hate when he does that thing with his voice.
Da REALIST says:
Man you fukkin wack bitches jus lurkin on here waitin for a song to h8 on , J Cole is tha truth . If he drops a fukkin song like this ( 1 fuckin song ) ya’ll say he gon flop man… this prolly for the ladies ne ways , He jus like us man. Jus trying to get some pussy on top of it all . Heard another song titled ” Lost ones ” by Cole from today an its hella dope. it has a story and substance . He talks real life shit not fairytale bullshit bout money n cars..man when people gunna wake up an C these other faggot rappers prolly laughin behind the curtains at all the dum little kiddies runnin out buyin their shit an they thinking wtf dumbasses . Like Cole said b4 ” these rappers out here rappin with their fingers crossed ” he fukkin hit the nail on the head .. they jus hoping people gun buy it even tho they know its garbage, fukkin stupid asses . be legit.. support real talent an leave the bullshit aside….
suppppppp says:
Y’all niggas ain’t business savvy at all. Talking ’bout Premeditated Murder and Blow Ups as singles.. Are you mother fuckers stupid? Perfect radio single, bout to be a Cole Summer.
I LOVE THE SONG…BUT DON’T KNOW IF ITS A SINGLE. BUT IT MIGHT WORK..ITS GONNA GROW ON ME I KNOW IT. #ONEOFTHOSEJOINTS
bigjay2501 says:
i fucks with this
Anon DCPL says:
Wow, some of you niggaz stating this shit is wack are out of your got damn mind. Ya’ll obviously don’t know how the game works.
There is a reason why this nigga gave you FNL’s, so you could have all that shit yall want to hear for FREE.
I’m sure the album will def. have way more heaters than this, but this song is the perfect single.I’m digging the sample, gives it a westcoast feel to it,kinda reminds me of California Love/Going Back to Cali more than how Kanye used it.
Now it’s up to the real fans to support this shit, and maybe the other lyrical tracks will have enough backing to make up the 2nd,3rd singles and so on.
Anyways, this shit goesssssss can’t wait to bump this shit in my 370Z with the windows down in the summer, maybe i’ll be picking up u hating ass niggaz girls HA!
Truth says:
We went from “Return of Simba” to this stemming pile of bullshit. If the album is gonna sound like this, I am not coppin’ it.
…….and nigga, stop rappin’ like Kanye.
dropem says:
dudes madd and are hating… bottom line, this will get radio play which is what cole wanted. You calling the album a failure bc of signle? you’re fucking dumb, go listen to “lost ones” and tell me that the whole album is gona be trash…
U AinT a Pimp U a Fairyyy!! says:
This is DOPE!!cotdamn.am not even a huge fan of Cole but this is dope.wow.
belly says:
this track is a grower, after bout 5 listens, i can see this being on the radio all summer and most of fall
Hip-Hop Fien says:
COLE MUTHA FUCKIN WORLD! He got the sample and yes his album comin out now niggas wanna hate. The one nigga that makes good music and niggas want to hate. Niggas thinkin he gonna flop is FUCKING stupid, he a student of the game he watch dumb mutha fuckas and he not gonna drop the ball. J. Cole is livin proof that once you on top niggas hate you. @philly how many comments you gonna make I mean fuck why you wanna see him lose why you keep saying artist are selling out then why do you even take the time to listen. You get paid to be a professional HATER. Blu last album wasn’t even luke warm straight wack and Big K.R.I.T album will not be shit he was part of the weakest XXL freshman class and he will be as relevant ass David Banner. Cole is finally coming out now yall can’t accept it stupid ass niggas. J. Cole is here to stay this his time and he going to take over. HE SINGLE HANDLY SAVED HIP-HOP. COLE WORLD!!!!!!!!!
NYC says:

Are we listening to the same J. Cole? really? lol fuckin Young Money Stan
#chief says:
This shit was nice. Not his most lyrical or nothin’ but he’s looking for radio plays and how much lyrical stuff you hear on the radio? None. Beat was dope, samples were dope.
Sidebar: your opinion matters none if your comment is in all caps or you cannot spell simple words.
Infamous_R_ says:
@lyrykal Your a Fucking idiot and im a casual fan. Based on your predicition bruno mars would sell a mill in a week because he had the most top 10 singles. You got to understand what a fan base is. Tours, Social Networks all build those you dont need a hit record to sell. You need dedicated fans and just judging off of cole’s constant trending topics his fans are dedicated.
Ac@pella! says:
Ehhh, it’s ok. Not what I expected. Thought it was gonna be more soulful. Kinda disappointed Cole…don’t let us down on the album.
Who dat got decent radio play so im pretty sure this will….don’t get the sell out comments…so he can make a song like “in the morning” which was actually made in 07 but no this? Let not forget that he had the track “ladies” on The Warm up and the “U got it” joint on FNL.
@philly the faggot says:
Please gtfo. Damn homo, you’re secretly in love with Cole that’s why you keep posting here.
Song is good but its a first single, so of course it’s gonna be a bit more mainstream. Its helps get his name out there. For real cole fans, don’t judge his album because this ain’t your typical emotional song. Emo ass bitchs haha, anyway why don’t you check lost ones before you say shit.
its aight…. hell, look at “over” from drake’s 1st ablum…. hell it was what it was!
ROCnation, is they really backing the dude???? damn come on, SON
Cmdissac says:
Aye at least its not a complete sell out
DG says:
The hate is overwhelming in this bitch but the funniest shit is all the comments about songs he released before this being better singles. His label pushed Who Dat & In The Morning and neither one took off so as usual you haters don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about
jim says:
he gotta release a more poppy song so the fags that only listen to radio will hear it and buy his damn album!!!! #gottagrind
Los says:
“Fifty told me go’head, switch the style up, and if they hate just let’em hate and watch the money pile up . . .” – Ye.

Converse says:
The hook is alright? lyrics are dope compare to Who dat? niggas hated on that shit when it first dropped it, but now you bandwagon faggots fuck with it? smh
typical hater niggas talk about supporting REAL hip-hop and not fauds? but shit on the real and then allow baby oil music to climb on to the charts? you haters are backward real talk
anyway?Lost one remind me of?Breanda got a baby? great song deep message
#COLEWORLD
OOPH says:
This is what a hit sounds like.
Hater, The Troll! says:
COLE!!!
YOU THE THE MAN!
BUT THIS IS UNEXPECTED THOUGH!
IF YOU’RE TRYING TO GET THE RADIO PLAY!
WITH THE MAINSTREAM YOU GOTTA COME HARDER!
THE SONG IS DOPE BUT UNEXPECTED!
THE HATE IS HERE!
still best rite now!! says:
okay…its not that bad after 5 spins
yaknowjstone says:
fire…..this is gonna grow on a lot of people hope this gets a lot of airplay. Cole World!
navo says:
loving this song.. coming from someone that followed j cole since the beginning… I want him to get as much exposure as possible so im not mad at him for trying to get a radio song.. def sounds like one.
Yo WTF MAN ! dat shyt is too wack to be even on his mixtape …..
UnknownUniverse says:
Well I guess he needs a song for the pop fans so he gets noticed and sells more but I’m not really feeling it. The hook is decent though.
thatnigga says:
i see all the hate so i already know this is the PERFECT single!
1. did yall expect him to make some deep ass song and get no radio play/ buzz and come out and flop?
jay-z said it best “build you up to break you down to build you up again, they like Hov we need you back so we can kill ya ass again”
PhanaamAnonymous says:
Not The Best In The World By Cole, Not Something I Am Going To Just Bass, But Its Cool TO Know He Can Have Fun With His Music, But J. Cole C’mon Don’t Float Commercial Like Everyone Else
jcorp says:
LMAO cole world huh? Drake’s 2nd album will sell more than Cole’s first.
J.flop world
Whatever says:
Awww I’m so disappointed. This is not what I expected. And yes, just like NuJew said, this is so average.
So damn sad right now, J Cole was my hope for new hip hop.
number 0ne supplier says:
im not sure about this one if im honest, hes got sumthing but not quite there,may have needed a hook from a rnb singer or may need a remix with a faster beat to really do it, we need a harder second single
RC says:
I was just saying this on another thread.
This isnt a great song. This is just ok. This isn’t ground breaking at all.
I just expect more. I hate to say but Drake is way more lyrical to the ladies than Cole is.
I don’t care if this is for the radio or not, there is no excuse for this to be so subpar. Also this beat was subpar. This production is not even current. I’m not saying it has to be like South beats, but its just so empty.
Both of BigSean’s singles are better than this. And I don’t even like that dude.
I’m still going to buy Cole’s first album. But its looking like the last time Cole will get anything from me.
Cole is not in Drake’s lane at all when it comes to hit making. The comparisons stop here and now.
t says:
Are you niggaz seriously retarded or some shit? This is a single! Its suppose to have a broad appeal. Don’t compare this to over. Over was a street single . Return of simba>over . Work out> find your love . Lol . I shouldn’t even be comparing artists but u niggaz took me there.
t says:
I probably got my facts wrong but fuck man, u niggaz don’t wana see jermaine win ???
Reptar says:
lol @t naw man its shifted by now, everybody used to love dude now its cool to hate him
RC says:
Seriously you Cole fan’s need to do better.
Drake’s singles were way better than Cole’s period. Just comparing the man to his peer.
Over’s production period was better than any of Cole’s new shit. I say again Big Sean’s singles are better as well.
Just cause a song is for radio, there is no excuse for it to be so bland. That’s hustling backwards. If your going to make a single, put something good on the radio. I see cat’s using the Radio as his Crutch when its supposed to be his tool for making himself more widely known.
All summer you heard Fancy, your not going to hear this empty song that much in the club, ladies aren’t about to be dancing to this. It barely has a melody.
Cole went the, “drop it on the floor and get low route.” Dude sounds so uncomfortable on this.
I want to see Cole win. But I’m not going to be delusional about it. And make it seem like him making subpar music its “haters” fault. He’s the one in the lab making this music.
I think it’s time for him to let others in on his beat selection. I don’t think he has another Hi Power track in him.
When it’s all said and done, he has to do numbers. Or he will find himself on the shelf.
I guess I’m too deep for the intro as well.
no1 says:
Dang it was kinda hot till he started rappin. Hook foolish. Beat stupid. However, rap -blah/nah.
Neph says:
My nigga Cole is cold, bt dnt kno how to choose a good single
ha says:
This song a fucking anthem! Get it? A fucking . Anthem !
JReezy says:
The overall feel of this track is bad. Doesn’t sound good enough as a single and it doesn’t really sound like a normal J. Cole song. Return of Simba would’ve been better off being the single instead of this.
D says:
i expected something better for the single but nevertheless i think its solid, good choice for the single
t says:
Best comment I seen so far ‘RT @ElliottWilson: RT @TriniTrent: People say that J. Cole got too commercial on Work Out. Fuck y’all. Dude has an album to sell. This ain’t mixtape music.’ Lol . Boom !
rahrahrah says:
I prefer Who dat, but then …… last time I checked I wasn’t a woman.

Every song on Friday Night Lights was better than this…… I knew he was gonna blow it.
RC says:
Lol Drake built his success off of a mixtape and still managed to keep that same quality in his singles.
Keep making excuses for this guy. Work Out is subpar.
I guess all those Cole comparisons to Drake were unfounded after all.
Citizen says:
^Dude you’re still here? LMAO HI HATER!
N says:
Damn. I’m a huge Cole fan, but seriously, whats this? SUPER disappointed!
Citizen says:
3 words- “FIND YOUR LOVE”
RC says:
Love the “hater”rhetoric Cole fans are spitting.
That just tells the rest of us that even they know he fked up.
Citizen says:
^Or maybe it tells us that you’ve been stalking the same page for at least an hour and a half telling us all how much u hate this nigga. What a loser.
D says:
let’s see how this single does
D says:
but say goodbye to classic album cole
spoken word says:
you have to give him a chance to grow its only his first major look, he cant just do it with one song
RC says:
Lol get a smart phone nigga.
Just because yoy have to sit in your mom living room posting your love for mediocre Cole songs and screaming bloody murder on anyone who disagrees dont mean we all are
Funny how your stalking my comments talking about me stalking a page.
Im just commenting. Now hurry up and get off the dail up, moms need to make a call.

AIN’T FEELIN’ IT!!!! THIS IS A BAD RADIO RECORD!!!! “IN THE MORNING” WAS ACTUALLY A BETTER RADIO RECORD!!!! SAME WIT “WHO DAT”!!!! SHE SHOULDA PICKED ONE OF THOSE FOR HIS FIRST SINGLE!!!! NIGGAS AIN’T SAYIN’ IT’S WACK CUZ IT’S RADIO RECORD!!!! IT’S WACK CUZ IT’S NOT A GOOD RECORD!!!!
….U MUFUCKAS ACTIN’ LIKE THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A BAD RADIO RECORD!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

Stop with the Drake wins crap. Drake sold TML off hype the biggest hype since 50. Only thing his songs were not hits that’s why he only sold a lil more than Nikki. Cole a different artist this song is for the ladies fool he already know how to capture hip hop fans who don’t buy records. Same dudes talking Drake wins like Marvins Room which is horrible TML leftover shit if you ask me. I aint checking for him “his reign on the top was shorter than leprechaun” he wants to be a rnb singer. Even if Cole first album don’t blow like PAC or Jay didn’t he can still be king. So just sit back and enjoy the show.
B.Will says:
Cole did it,for the people who say its 2 commercial it definitely doesn’t equate to what wiz did with that roll up bullshit
Tri-Wnning says:
Stans will holla dope. It is descent, but the 50 flow hook is too constant that he is now unoriginal and biting, imo. And he’s not that good with that singing flow either. It feel likes one of them joking around hooks, doesn’t sound too pleasurable or serious.
They falsely proclaim him the next big thing when his style was never fitting for it. They must’ve encourage him to be more mainstream so he chose 50’s flow. Should’ve just holler at 50, really.
NO hit single here. It’s a lil bland. After all the hype his buzz will die like Drake’s did (Nicki stole Drak’es light and she whack)
.
Switch your style young boy,
Citizen says:
lmao I have a smart phone, like everybody else in the universe, but I don’t see what that has to do with anything at all. You’re still wasting your life on the same page, refreshing it for hours just to hate on a nigga a hundred times. Damn, kid, what went wrong in your life to make u so pathetic and bitter?

Mike says:
Keeping it 100 the hook sounds like a 50 throw away and the verses sound like Kanye said spit it like me.. Dude is lost when it comes to making mainstream music.. The beat is super wack and people saying it will bang on the radio are reaching big time.. Calling him B.O.B is putting what BoB did last year to shame.. Those records BoB had were big crossover joints at first listen.. This isn’t that..
Just like Who Dat it might see some time on radio then it will vanish into the sun set.. It sucks to say this but it is the cold hard facts to all you Drake haters on this site.. With him Cole wins without him not so much..
Cole is what Nas is right now.. A great rapper who can’t find the mix for a mainstream audience.. Not without help..
D says:
@Mike you are dumb. FOH with B.o.b. comparisons. Bruno mars song is better than cole’s single? And nas? He made best rap album ever… i hate people like you… FUCK OUTTA HERE
Nah Man says:
This shit is dope
RC says:
@Mike
Well said bro. Agreed.
And the reason most of us who dont like this song is rubbing it in, is because thes same stans post Cole World all over this blog and especially on a Drake post.
So we giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Like ive said before, I want this guy to win, but hes losing big time on this.
I dont agree with the Nas comparison tho. Nas could make mainstream shit if he wanted. He just doesnt. I believe Cole just cant at this time.
Marshall says:
NOT FEELING IT, SORRY I TRIED BUT ILL DEFINATLY CHEK HIS UPCOMING ALBUM
The single is getting a lot of hate on the blogs, twitter, and the internet overall but I actually like the song. You will hear it in the clubs and definitely on the radio. When you have a debut album to sell and you’re trying to sell it to people who actually buy records then this is a good way to start the album roll out. I have a feeling that once the album actually drops a lot of the naysayers will be quiet so it’s only a matter of time before everyone hops back on the J. Cole bandwagon.
I fuck your girl when you was home says:
Only reason Drake Is popular is because of lil wayne cosign! Seriously he was a actor turn rapper that shit dont workout without a huge cosign.
Jay-Z on the other hand want Cole to create a huge buzz on his own. No joint single except one while wayne did multiple with Drake.
Comeup>Tml
m85 says:
Anyone who says jcole sold out doesn’t kno what they’re talkn bout..besides the fact he jus had lost ones leak which is one of the realest songs ever..this is a single for the summer..its still cleverly written the beat is sick…we all know he is gonna touch on serious topics but anyone sayn why he made this song obviously doesn’t kno cole makes song bout chicks all the time have u ever hear..ladies..disgustin..higher..in the mornin..college boy..you got it…if u think cole is a one dimensonial mc then ur not a real fan
Jdot says:
Honestly, Im really disappointed. I expected alot more from Jermaine. I understand he has an album to sell but he needs to find a balance because this record is not going to work. Cole is my favorite artist right now and I support him completely. Even though Im not fuckin with this, im still buying the album. I just hope it sounds completely different than this.
Your mother's "friend" says:
I like it
@MusicIsTheSole says:
This is radio friendly Cole went the Rap rote with Who Dat and it didnt quite work out. This song is to get him on Radio and for more people to know his name.
As a female i can see myself in the raves dancing to this with some guy behind me.
All these Drake and J.Cole comparisons are fucking stupid drake make better songs but J.cole has classics is any one actually going to bump Miss me or Over 10yrs l8r i think not bitches.
COLE SUMMER.
Ashin Kusher says:
There’s dumbing down for the dollar then there’s this. Still a few good lines in here but his flow is so different as well. The worst thing is he probably won’t get the hit single he’s hoping for with this shit cause it’s just average. Ladies might wanna bump it but I’m not feeling it. You can still be clever with a good hit or rap hard and get a hit single. If only Lights Please hadn’t been released and was the debut single. shame.
G says:
That album’s gonna brick if he doesn’t get some heat, FAST.
Ice cube motha fucka says:
For all the haters, hes a lyrical genius, he’s rich, nd guess wat get a ladder go on top of your house nd jump head first. Biatch
real talk says:
@Mike
Nas does not need a mainstream song to be recognized his song “Nasty” set the internet on fire/trending worlwide. Nas has went platinum/gold without radio play. See that is the difference between Nas and other rappers…Nas’ talent is too RAW to ever be denied with or without radio.
J Cole needs to let his talent speak and not be pressured into doing anything other than displaying his creativity.
Sleepy says:
Man you guys are silly….talking about going pop, dumbing down, trying to cross over, etc. just because he didn’t feel like going on the pulpit for this single. Ppl are complex and have different aspects of who they are. This just shows one aspect of who dude is. I love this song, cause every now and then I really just want to know if a girl wants to fuck.
You let nostalgia cloud your memories and create a past with way more mystique than it should have. This reminds me of Pac’s Do For Love (the idea of the song not the melody) and I’m sure if that song came out today y’all would be saying the same thing “trying to crossover” “pop” when they’re just expressing themselves..
and I think the beat is crazy

COLE SUMMER
Black Shady says:
Damn..woke up and I see its already 200+ comments. HA!
J.COLE WINS!!!!! love it or hate it…you’re still talkin about the single haha. COLE WORLD
TRUTH says:
dope,but not normal cole level dope
Fady says:
looooooooool the ‘am dissappointed’ comments really make me laugh! cole has haters only means his doing a great job
#coleworld
WHY J.COLE says:
NOT A GOOD MOVE FOR J.COLE TO RELEASE HIS FIRST SINGLE OVER TWITTER I WOULD OF LIKED IF HE HAD DEBUTED ON B.E.T NICE SONG BUT COULD OF BEEN WAY BETTER WHO DAT WAS BETTER THEN THIS AND HIS MARKETING TEAM SUCK. LOOK WHAT JAYZ DID TOO BEYONCE A FLOPP
This joint goes HARD COLE. THIS IS YOUR YEAR EVERYBODY IN RAP LOOKING FOR THE NEW LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL. EVERYBODY SOUNDS THE SAME. YOU GOT THAT EVOLUTION FLOW. I HOPE I PULL A DIME THIS SUMMER TO THIS SONG.
this is jus one single guys relax theres still the danger track and the one with trey songs , wix dropped black and yellow on my level and i roll up, drake dropped over find your loving and miss me cant judge him over on radio single
eminemback says:
i h8 how rappers gotta drop dis pop bullshit to get plays on da radio, wheres da real hip hop at ?
Ms says:
Everyone who thinks this song is a wack single and who dat was a better single drop could never actually sell a single if it were there job…
cole has enough songs with lyrical content but not enough bangers
now he has both.
get ready to hear this in a club and on a radio near u
0lado says:
shit at least it sounds better then that chris brown big sean shit
ColoradoKnight says:
Beat is dope. Even our favorites artists dropped records like this people (i.e. Jay-Z, Em, etc). It’s a single, what’d you expect? He’s gotta appeal to the ladies as well, they’re the only ones who actually purchase music anymore. Lighten up. Cole is still that dude, he didn’t go ‘Full Retard” like Wiz did w/ “Roll Up”. I will say this though, that Paula Abdul “Straight Up” sh*t at the end is a bit corny.
ncprecise says:
ehh… could do w/o the 50 hook… still buying the album though
kmass says:
J. Cole is HOT…this song goes too hard and its simple.
COLE WORLD!!!!
Plain and simple….The song is hot. You people judge and say his album wont be a classic off of literally 1 song. Either way. The comments on here are 220+ comments deep. He’s doing something right……cole world
D says:
its growing on me, shit…it sounds fresh tho
respect says:
Like Cole said “Old bitter ass sit around in middle class homes/ with computers on/ hatin’ on the newest song” This is ofcourse not his best work, but definitely not average… This is fresh.
MuzikGeek says:
u niggas gotta b stupid if u think this is trash!!!Cole hasnt change one bit! he has atleast one or two songs like this on every single body of work he does… u niggas asses… & even if u dnt like this song ukno he hasnt changed bcuz u heard lost ones & it won’t be long. u niggas fake… how the hell would cole survivie if he use Return of Simba as his single? that wouldnt work!!! smh… Cole kno what he is doin… his nxt single isnt gonna b radio friendly.. it gonna b real rap & get alot of radio play bcuz he’s done gonna establish himself on the radio already becuz of this song! niggas need to wake up.

DAMN, after hearing that god-awful new game single, this shit is FIRE. Not just that its sick compared to the game single, but its also just dope. The beat reminds me of ‘Stronger’ alot, from the robotic sounding vocal sample to the funky guitar loop
TNoche says:
Who the hell is this philly lawyer? Why are u hatin’ on J. Cole that much?
I’m sure this is the first J. Cole song you have ever listened to….
Didn’t they teach you at your internet law school to inform yourself before writing something?
Ayoh says:
really cole? this is sub-par material. true hip-hop enthusiasts don’t want to listen to this kind of content matter, you should know that. bigger things are expected from you.
damn catchy. i like it. and it don’t hurt that he sampled one of my fav kanye songs.
honestly to all u haters, its a hustle and you can’t appreciate that. he has to put out something that the radio can bang and generate buzz. people buy albums of things that they hear on the radio. thats just the reality. i don’t expect the whole album to be like this, just a single or two.
the ladies will like it. he’s getting a new fanbase. it is what it is.
Really tho? says:
You guys dont remember how corny kanyes workout plan was???? yet everyone calls college dropout a classic….jigga that nigga, h to the izzo and hola hovito were wack but yall still call blueprint a classic…give cole a chance fuck

J. Cole just doesn’t have mainstream appeal, and that’s why he will never get the kind of recognition he deserves; even on Jay’s label. it’s kinda sad really.
ITS COLE WORLD NO SNUGGIE BUT THIS SONG IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE THE ALBUM LIKE RETURN OF SIMBA AND NOT SOME SHIT LIKE THIS. THIS IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ONLY BUMP HIS MIXTAPES. COME ON COLE…WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ALBUM THAT YOU SAID WAS GOING TO BE THOUGHT PROVOKING AND A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.
M.T says:
this is a good track but i expected a bit more. hope this gets him some mainstream appeal. better pick a better single next time. still #Cole World
Blogger says:
It May Not Be The J.Cole That We All Know But Honestly We All Know He Needed Somethin For The Radio Like Be Real And Best Believe He Could Have Did Way Worst, To The Idiot Who Said It Sound Like Soulja Boy Stfu And Get Off This Post Quick Because You Dont Know Shit And This Will Actually Play In The Clubs And Females Will Eat This Up So Honestly I Give This Track Like A 7.5/8 Out Of 10 Its Really Not That Its Just You Faggots Love To Say A Nigga Sold Out And Be The Same Niggas Who Dont Buy CDs
REALNIGGASHIT says:
This is gay as fuck. This is the first time i’ve ever really questioned J. Cole’s inevitable blowup. What a terrible idea. Unless the plan is to leak this as a single, duck and cover, then two weeks later drop the real single which will sound hard as fuck automatically compared to this. Yeah, thats gotta be it.
RealNiggaShit(tm)
Slowbot10 says:
I cant believe that ppl still saying that FNL was average..did yall not here 2Face, Farewell, before Im gone, too deep for the intro, see world, enchanted, home for the holidays…if FNL came out before the warm up yall would be saying that it was his best work..
THIS SUCKS says:
Damn……..What happend to the fire! GAYWORLD
t says:
Who d fuck compare cole to papoose career tho? Niggaz saying he one album delay away from working in burger king. Lol. This nigga gona make y’all eat your words. We all know how talented he is. Go cop that album when it drops fools. I stay Supporting real talent
Man, J was waitin for him to release THIS!? Who Dat was a way better single yo, I mean come on now. This is completely beneath his talent level. Oh well, I’m still coppin Cole World in a few. Just gonna have to skip this one or hope it grows on me
firefly81 says:
What I don’t understand is why people believe that J Cole music are classic songs. Yeah they have that old school melody and sound but they are not classic music. Classic Hip Hop music are when you hear the sound or listen to the lyrics you know that S**t year from now. Example Nas & Lauren Hill “If I ruled the world,” Method & Mary “Your all I need,” Wu Tang “Cream” or “Ice cream,” etc. now those, those are classic songs.
Money Mark says:
Haters… Have y’all actually listened to this track? This shit go hard, perfect for the summer and its only the beginning. Cali type feel dropped right before his favorite artist Memorial (R.I.P. Pac. Its gonna be a Cole World have no fear y’all
I think this is dope. Don’t understand the hate. Make a single that stays grounded in what he does, and it’ll lowkey kill the radio.
Kwonzy says:
Cole been getting a lot of haters lately. I guess he made it!
The bigger you are the more haters you gain.
JReezy says:
It’s sad how people think this is good enough for the radio. This doesn’t have the mainstream appeal to be played on the radio or in the club. The song was for ladies but it also doesn’t sound like something they would go crazy over. Honestly, Return of Simba would’ve been the better single. Maybe J. Cole can get some tips from Drizzy on crafting a proper single. Although this song is a massive disappointment I’m pretty sure the rest of the album will be amazing.
? says:
y isn’t this a rapradar top 5 post??? is there a conspiracy going on here ?
sway-z says:
First of all, this doesn’t suck automatically just because it’s a radio friendly joint, EVERYBODY should be allowed to have a good time, some of you niggas just need to get out the basement more and fuck some women from time to time
But this song does suck because IT SOUNDS like he’s trying for that radio joint, it feels soulless, like he’s trying too hard for it. Most of the greats do it effortlessly (I’m not saying he’s great, BUT YOU NIGGAS like to say it, so that’s what I’ma hold him up to)
Some of Biggie’s greatest lines came in his radio joints, certain niggas just have a knack for doing it. They shouldn’t be holding this nigga up for some Top 40 shit that might not come, let him do him, and everything will either work or it won’t.
NICKNACKed says:
YALL SOME dumb ass niggas!!! he got to appeal to white people and dumb niggas like most of yall who dislike this song! this song is Tight anyway. yall need to look up the word strategy! Regardless he killing the game. he has never disappointed me on a track!

Think he dumbed down too much. Still gunna support though.

*waits for the J.Cole slander*…..if he can get that Rihanna crowd to rock out to this, he won.
THIS DUDE SOLD OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN HEAR IT IN HIS HIS VOICE!
PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
I’m disapointed. That’s all I can say.
This was most likely a forced single by RocNation cuz he needed a commerical track to promote himself.
why ppl say we are haters? its a fuckin OPINION not everybody has to like EVERYTHING our favorite artists drop u asswipes. I am a j.cole fan but this shit is fuckin corny and I KNOW he can do BETTER.
Dope sample, even better song. Great 1st single
cole world
ima huge jcole fan, but this is a total disapointment. couldnt even make it thru the first verse. ima still cop the album, jus hoping i dont come across too many trax similar to this one. 2 thumbs all the way down.
I’m a big Cole fan…he gets a little too generic sometimes, though.
I like this track.
Big J.Cole fan….this isn’t what we came to love him for :/
He can do better than this for radio spins. Cole >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Warm
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS LIKE “WHO DAT” MIXED WITH “IN THE MORNING” MIXED WITH “DISGUSTING”, WHICH GETS YOU DREW GOODEN… BACK TO THE BENCH WITH THIS ONE.
PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
Heard the live version a while back and i gotta dis song is average, 2face woulda been the perfect single for him. Who dat n 2face > work out
dope
this is some bullshit
Im not gon lie the that sample is annoying, that first verse was ill, but i thot Coley would bring some harder shit than this, not nessasarraly song meaning wise, im juss kinna like, we waited for an album that is pretty much a year old recording wise, barely gave whereabouts that it existed, sayin you gon own the summer, and we get some candy ass shit, now dont yall jump my shit like im bitter, J. Cole is GREAT, i just wanna hear this “Second album thats like 70% Done” if this is how the shit gon be
Get used to hearing this on your favorite radio station…One song won’t mean the whole album will suck, Im still copping this album.
This is the song right here! Cole World..No Blanket nigga! and people always got to hate on somebody..get a fucking life
Marvin’s Room>>>>>>
Lost Ones > work out
If you hate on a so called hater then what are you?

COLE WORLD
This is the song right here! Cole World nigga! and somebody always have to hate…get a fucken life
Shit Dope. Perfect club song get the girlies going. COLE WORLD let’s go.
Cold World, Real Cold World
In Not Gonna Lie, Imma Big Cole Fan I Was Expecting His 1st Single To Have A Feature On It, Either From RiRi/Beyonce or Trey or something like that didnt really expect a solo joint with a wicked ass sample! but either way, GREAT SUMMER TRACK!
Man i really was expecting more from Cole, what a disappointment with this track. I was rooting for him, but try again light skin Jermaine.
DRAKE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>J. Cole
STRAIGHT UP, J. COLE IS A FARCE.
THE DUDE IS EXPOSED.
THE ONLY THING THIS DUDE HAS IN COMMON WITH LEBRON IS THAT THEY BOTH COME UP SHORT WHEN IT COUNTS.
HIS CAREER IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CALLED IT. HE’S NOT EVEN ON BLEEK’S LEVEL. SMH.
PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
drake won
cool song remind me of something from the 90s in LA…… Radio cut but still got lyrics
oh yea Nate Dogg would of been crazy on this……..R.I.P.
Damn!, Look at all the haters!
http://www.MOFOSINCHARGE.com
drake and j cole are both sick ! but DRAKE domination has already begun !
summer is for drizzy sorry
the hate is gonna grow, but this will be a summer banger on the radio no doubt
okay track cool sample should have being more energy on the record…a C Plus.
IT HURTS TO SAY… BUT J. COLE IS THE NEXT PAPOOSE.
IRRELEVANT IN TWO YEARS. BET.
PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
If this song is getting hate on the hiphop blogs, that means it will be successful in the real world. Hiphop heads are some of the most out of touch people ever, ya’ll want that man to brick and put up Canibus numbers. The song is a good summer song and radio joint, he can’t put out no shit like Lost Ones and think it will sell or get him a release date.
I’m not a big J. Cole fan, but I don’t see what’s wrong with this song. Of course we know he can come harder than that, but understand most of his songs don’t have much mainstream appeal. He needed to make a song that will sell and appeal to the public, and this is definitely it. It’s not sellin out, its gaining attention so people will look out for your album. BTW, See It To Believe it is album worthy. Love that song. So smooth
YOU NIGGAS SAYIN J COLE THE NEW PAC
FUCKING DISGRACE
JAY-Z DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT THIS NIGGA
JOIN THE WINNING TEAM AND MAKE GOOD MUSIC
JAY-Z PUNKING THIS NIGGA INTO SOUNDING LIKE KANYE WEST
This shit nice af. Dumbed it down a bit for the radio, without taking away what makes Cole fire. #Heat
Man, that was some chill shit. All good.
THOUGHT COLE’S SINGLE WAS GONNA BE A CLASSIC… THIS IS NOT CLASSIC MATERIAL! …. GUESS A THIRD TRY WONT HURT
Damn, after that new Nas, rappers are starting to sound boring. And I’ma Cole fan!
I co-sign @flawda ; if niggas on blogs saying its a flop…its gonna work on the radio!!! and THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS SONG
COLE WORLD!!!! no motherfucking blanket
okay yes everyone whos hating is just pissed that we cant get a single from Drizzy, its growin onme more oldschool hiphop-ish, sample,hook,verses, put it out- we’ll see if it works “Kanye Shrug”
Look at all the Haters, Cole World!!
http://www.MOFOSINCHARGE.com
The first listen was disapointment but the second was great,
Shut the fuck up haters, Cole World is the best thing that has happened to the music in a long time
I KNO WHAT YOU FUCK FACES THINKIN….”J COLE SOLD OUT!”

PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
WAIT A MINUTE…SO NIGGAS WOULD BUMP DRAKE’S GAY POP SHIT, BUT HATE ON THIS!!???
YA’LL SOME FAGGOTS FORREAL, AND GOT HOOKED ON THIS NEW GENERATION OF PUSSIES!!!!!!!!!
COLE WORLD NIGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Dreams Money can Buy >>>>>>>> Work Out
SMH.. and I wanted J,Cole to win but Drake is this generation’s King
I’m Gay (Im Happy) >>> Cole’s Album
Jcole is turning into LeBron..he thinks he has the crown but he aint won shit yet. i thought he was a product of Pac, this some PDiddy soundin shit
@PHILLY LAWYER
Nigga you in Philly, no rapper in philly is getting Played on the Radio!!!
so your a lawyer & a former DJ? hahahaha Riiiiiiight, and I’m Barack Obama!
The beat is dope, but someone needs to tell Cole that you don’t have to completely dumb down lyrics for mainstream singles, there’s a fine line between Mos Def above your head shit, and simple ass Bow Wow shit. This is a dope song, but isn’t really worth all the hype and the long wait behind it. I can rock with this though, hope it does well on the radio, and I’m still expecting the other joints on the album to be dope as hell, I still ain’t listened to Lost Ones but hear it’s some classic sh*t, hopefully thats what the rest of the album will be like then
Dope ass song, niggas who get out from the house gon respect, geeks who sit at home gone hate.
[…] J. Cole – "Work Out" ^First radio single from Cole World. Reply With Quote + Reply to Thread […]
He always try sing !!!!!! thats what fucks him up ! Got damn cole, just get a female or some nikkas to do the hook or some… like “leave me alone ” is dope as fuckkkkkkkk !!! Shit gets irritating ! Real talk
If any of cole’s dudes read this, some advice: grab a drake hook, maybe a weeknd hook, 40 beat, and spazz and the track man. You’re an amazing lyricists, I’d hate to see you not succeed. But you just cannot make radio tracks, which is probably a good thing. Get some buzz off it, and move forward with you career. These radio tracks sound awkward and forced bro, if you keep making them you will most likely be dropped and stay underground forever. Come on, you’re on the cusp of success, real talk just try it. You saw the success of ‘in the morning’ there’s nothing wrong with aligning yourself with artists that make real hip hop crossover tracks!
Why are we still comparing Drake and J. Cole. I Fux with Drake he is talented, but J. Cole is on another level in pure mic skills. The same clowns that were hatin on Drizzy when his singles came out are the same people hatin on Cole right now.
Dope dope Cole knows what he doing. At first I wasn’t feeling it but it’s a good song for mainstream without going wiz khalifa.
Cosign @flawda. I dunno what the fuck yall listening to. This shit some good music right here. Soon as this ends up on iTunes its getting bought. Pop? Hes sampling Kanye. How the fuck is this pop? I dont hear no pop singer on it? Only thing I aint like too much was the best but shit was on point. Imean Return of Simba plus Lost Ones plus all the other stuff he put out, im sure Cole capable of putting out some Grade A material for the album. I can see this getting spins. Even if it dont, hey, In The Morning gets more than enough spins. I woulda actually done something with Drake on it for the single. Or something more like Who Dat cuz I preferred that song but this song is great too. Eager to see how far this song goes. Remember kids, Cole World. Summers his. Just give this some time to heat up. And I like the Basketball/College motifs this guy uses. Im in College, I like basketball. Hey, theres a fanbase right there. I gaurantee ppl support this guy. Papoose? LMAO. Fuck outta here. Papoose never even cracked the Billboard. At least Cole has. As a guest artist and otherwise.
This is hot
In The Morning and his feature on that Miguel track were perfect radio bangers. This is so-so
@COLE MUNDO
J. COLE PUT OUT A WACK SONG AND YOU COME AT ME?
FIRST OFF, i MAKE MORE THAN YOU. SECONDLY, I MAKE MORE THAN YOU.
THIRDLY, I GET PAID FOR THIS. I KNOW AND PRACTICE THE LAW.
I DJ’ED DURING UNDERGRAD… IT’S CALLED A SIDE HUSTLE.
BUT WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT A J-O-B?
BY THE WAY, J. COLE IS DOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!
THE UNIBROW UNABOMBER CAN BLOW UP IN WEST GERMANY FOR ALL I CARE.
HE WILL NOT GO GOLD IN THE USA. BET.
PLEASE START THE HATE ON MY COMMENT. THE TRUTH HURTS, I KNOW.
I see the haters in full force tonight. Nice try guys! Keep the hate giong strong all night okay? Try to get some sleep though while you in your moms basement hating hard.
I cant understand how some of you niggaz can acutally like THIS shit? i mean i respect ur opinion and shit but THIS? REALLY? ya’ll been waiting 2 years for THIS? wtf? we except mediocre shit all the time we get used to it. I MEAN REALLY? ya’ll niggaz are gonna be walking down the block like “work out for me?” REALLY?? wow
U know the song sucks when a fan says “the song is dope … To me” cole is about to experience what drake went through when “over” dropped. Im on one, marvin gaye n chardonnay, dreams money can buy, racks on racks, nasty, how to love, anne, marvins room >>> work out. Premeditated murder, too deep before the intro, 2face, who that, in the morning > work out… I know cole fans gon hate what im about to say but if he want that smash hit, he def need to call drake n 40, boi1da n t-minus for that monster single n y’all know it. If he think he can do it on his own he is looking at 100k – 150k first week. Wiz did 250k and he had black n yellow. What does cole have, workout? I want him to succeed and i ain’t a huge fan plus he is a good rapper not all that talented. Lets be honest, when it comes to lyrics he ain’t the best now. Slaughterhouse will shit on cole with ease and fart in his mouth on a track, he ain’t even near dedication 2 weezy and his stans make it seem he is the greatest ever.
“Fifty told me go’head, switch the style up, and if they hate just let’em hate and watch the money pile up . . .” – Ye.
hate ME now. HoeBitches!!!
if youre being honest with yourself, I think this is probably Top 3 worst tracks we’ve heard from Jermaine. how can you defend this if u want Cole to succeed?
You guys are dumbasses. He drops tracks like Lost Ones and Return of Simba, Puts out classic mixtapes and you wanna turn your back on him? This is better than some shit like Roll up and my last. Its creative too. Too much techno rap nd shit on the radio.
Does anybody know what song he sampled
this doesnt sound at all like radio/single material good song tho
Dope..
Cole World..
he drops striaght fire all year and his first single for an album ive been waiting for so long is so thrashh, he aint painting pictures of hope wit this one, and he wus turning out to be one of my favorite rappers, lost ones shud of been his single, that song is deep, but this shit aint deep, im prolly never gunna listen to it again, hopfully hes doing dis just for radio play and his album is still raw bcus im still lookin forward to it
THIS IS FUCKIN WACK TRY AGAIN JERMAINE!!
DRAKES SOPHMORE ALBUM DROPPING BEFORE COLES DEBUT= HAHA!
I SEE THE HATERS WHO USUALLY HATE ON SHIT LIKE THIS FROM OTHER ARTISTS ARE BEING BIAS AND SHIT!
DOPE. Sick sample
@Ok
He sampled “New Work Out Plan” By Kanye West – College Dropout and Paula Abdul’s -” Straight Up”
return of simba wuld of been da perfect single instead of this garbage, disappointing, this album is suppose to be a masterpeice but now bcus it has dis it cant be, smh drake all over again
Damn niggahs hatin hard tonite!He some where not giving a two fucks.I fucks wit the single good choice #ColeWorld
Follow me on twitter @lyrykal more muzik shit happening, and y he gotta yell cole world in every fucking song?
Nigraz will never be satisfied, they’re too selfish. Real J. Cole fans, I mean people who are fans of J. Cole the person and everything he stands for understand this move. No it’s not Too Deep4TI, I Get Up, Enchanted, The Autograph, Premeditated Murder, the list goes on. Deezam respect the man for giving you that and a whole lot more shit. and support some good music, Honestly no it’s not the greatest song of all time, not the greatest Cole song in the slightest, but I’ll be gotdamned if it’s not a genuinely good radio single for the summer ladies.
#COLESUMMER,COLEWORLD
Be proud North Carolina.
This is the shit. More creative and unique than literally every one of the singles Lyrykal listed.
I agree with a lot of the comments on here. J. Cole is my nigga but idk if he knows how to really make a proper song. The hook sounds so generic you would think he was joking. I don’t think he should have sampled that Kanye song either it’s too weird.
In the end I think he could’ve picked a better single even though it’s still I good song and I have faith that his album will be a classic.
Hip hop has been letting me down
Also I hate when he does that thing with his voice.
Man you fukkin wack bitches jus lurkin on here waitin for a song to h8 on , J Cole is tha truth . If he drops a fukkin song like this ( 1 fuckin song ) ya’ll say he gon flop man… this prolly for the ladies ne ways , He jus like us man. Jus trying to get some pussy on top of it all . Heard another song titled ” Lost ones ” by Cole from today an its hella dope. it has a story and substance . He talks real life shit not fairytale bullshit bout money n cars..man when people gunna wake up an C these other faggot rappers prolly laughin behind the curtains at all the dum little kiddies runnin out buyin their shit an they thinking wtf dumbasses . Like Cole said b4 ” these rappers out here rappin with their fingers crossed ” he fukkin hit the nail on the head .. they jus hoping people gun buy it even tho they know its garbage, fukkin stupid asses . be legit.. support real talent an leave the bullshit aside….
Y’all niggas ain’t business savvy at all. Talking ’bout Premeditated Murder and Blow Ups as singles.. Are you mother fuckers stupid? Perfect radio single, bout to be a Cole Summer.
EVERY ARTIST HAS A RADIO SINGLE GET OVER IT
I LOVE THE SONG…BUT DON’T KNOW IF ITS A SINGLE. BUT IT MIGHT WORK..ITS GONNA GROW ON ME I KNOW IT. #ONEOFTHOSEJOINTS
i fucks with this
Wow, some of you niggaz stating this shit is wack are out of your got damn mind. Ya’ll obviously don’t know how the game works.
There is a reason why this nigga gave you FNL’s, so you could have all that shit yall want to hear for FREE.
I’m sure the album will def. have way more heaters than this, but this song is the perfect single.I’m digging the sample, gives it a westcoast feel to it,kinda reminds me of California Love/Going Back to Cali more than how Kanye used it.
Now it’s up to the real fans to support this shit, and maybe the other lyrical tracks will have enough backing to make up the 2nd,3rd singles and so on.
Anyways, this shit goesssssss can’t wait to bump this shit in my 370Z with the windows down in the summer, maybe i’ll be picking up u hating ass niggaz girls HA!
We went from “Return of Simba” to this stemming pile of bullshit. If the album is gonna sound like this, I am not coppin’ it.
…….and nigga, stop rappin’ like Kanye.
dudes madd and are hating… bottom line, this will get radio play which is what cole wanted. You calling the album a failure bc of signle? you’re fucking dumb, go listen to “lost ones” and tell me that the whole album is gona be trash…
This is DOPE!!cotdamn.am not even a huge fan of Cole but this is dope.wow.
this track is a grower, after bout 5 listens, i can see this being on the radio all summer and most of fall
COLE MUTHA FUCKIN WORLD! He got the sample and yes his album comin out now niggas wanna hate. The one nigga that makes good music and niggas want to hate. Niggas thinkin he gonna flop is FUCKING stupid, he a student of the game he watch dumb mutha fuckas and he not gonna drop the ball. J. Cole is livin proof that once you on top niggas hate you. @philly how many comments you gonna make I mean fuck why you wanna see him lose why you keep saying artist are selling out then why do you even take the time to listen. You get paid to be a professional HATER. Blu last album wasn’t even luke warm straight wack and Big K.R.I.T album will not be shit he was part of the weakest XXL freshman class and he will be as relevant ass David Banner. Cole is finally coming out now yall can’t accept it stupid ass niggas. J. Cole is here to stay this his time and he going to take over. HE SINGLE HANDLY SAVED HIP-HOP. COLE WORLD!!!!!!!!!
“I want him to succeed and i ain’t a huge fan plus he is a good rapper not all that talented. Lets be honest, when it comes to lyrics he ain’t the best now. Slaughterhouse will shit on cole with ease and fart in his mouth on a track, he ain’t even near dedication 2 weezy and his stans make it seem he is the greatest ever.”
Are we listening to the same J. Cole? really? lol fuckin Young Money Stan
This shit was nice. Not his most lyrical or nothin’ but he’s looking for radio plays and how much lyrical stuff you hear on the radio? None. Beat was dope, samples were dope.
Sidebar: your opinion matters none if your comment is in all caps or you cannot spell simple words.
@lyrykal Your a Fucking idiot and im a casual fan. Based on your predicition bruno mars would sell a mill in a week because he had the most top 10 singles. You got to understand what a fan base is. Tours, Social Networks all build those you dont need a hit record to sell. You need dedicated fans and just judging off of cole’s constant trending topics his fans are dedicated.
Ehhh, it’s ok. Not what I expected. Thought it was gonna be more soulful. Kinda disappointed Cole…don’t let us down on the album.
this is seriousssss #Cole World babyyyy
kinda dont like it.
Who dat got decent radio play so im pretty sure this will….don’t get the sell out comments…so he can make a song like “in the morning” which was actually made in 07 but no this? Let not forget that he had the track “ladies” on The Warm up and the “U got it” joint on FNL.
Please gtfo. Damn homo, you’re secretly in love with Cole that’s why you keep posting here.
Song is good but its a first single, so of course it’s gonna be a bit more mainstream. Its helps get his name out there. For real cole fans, don’t judge his album because this ain’t your typical emotional song. Emo ass bitchs haha, anyway why don’t you check lost ones before you say shit.
its aight…. hell, look at “over” from drake’s 1st ablum…. hell it was what it was!
ROCnation, is they really backing the dude???? damn come on, SON
Aye at least its not a complete sell out
The hate is overwhelming in this bitch but the funniest shit is all the comments about songs he released before this being better singles. His label pushed Who Dat & In The Morning and neither one took off so as usual you haters don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about
he gotta release a more poppy song so the fags that only listen to radio will hear it and buy his damn album!!!! #gottagrind
“Fifty told me go’head, switch the style up, and if they hate just let’em hate and watch the money pile up . . .” – Ye.
Learn your music, youngin. Ya that’s Ye bars, but he flipped it.
“i’mma tell you Banks told me, cuz go ‘head and switch the style up, and if they hate then let em hate and watch the money pile up.” – 50 Cent – In Da Club
The hook is alright? lyrics are dope compare to Who dat? niggas hated on that shit when it first dropped it, but now you bandwagon faggots fuck with it? smh
typical hater niggas talk about supporting REAL hip-hop and not fauds? but shit on the real and then allow baby oil music to climb on to the charts? you haters are backward real talk
anyway?Lost one remind me of?Breanda got a baby? great song deep message
#COLEWORLD
This is what a hit sounds like.
COLE!!!
YOU THE THE MAN!
BUT THIS IS UNEXPECTED THOUGH!
IF YOU’RE TRYING TO GET THE RADIO PLAY!
WITH THE MAINSTREAM YOU GOTTA COME HARDER!
THE SONG IS DOPE BUT UNEXPECTED!
THE HATE IS HERE!
okay…its not that bad after 5 spins
fire…..this is gonna grow on a lot of people hope this gets a lot of airplay. Cole World!
loving this song.. coming from someone that followed j cole since the beginning… I want him to get as much exposure as possible so im not mad at him for trying to get a radio song.. def sounds like one.
COLE WORLD
Damn… a lot of Cole music leaking out… nice track!
Um what. Was expecting something groundbreaking seeing as he was being hyped up so much. Its kind’ve dope after a few listens tho…
Nice look. These singles are for the radio and the album is for us. Who was comparing this to B.o.Bs shit? This sound like airplanes to you? ha.
Don’t like it, but understand why he made it.
Bleh. Can’t please everyone. We are hardcore fans. Of course we hate this shit. Not everything is for us, I guess.
straight fire gonna be a crazy summer jam
Man what is this….totally disappointed
Yo WTF MAN ! dat shyt is too wack to be even on his mixtape …..
Well I guess he needs a song for the pop fans so he gets noticed and sells more but I’m not really feeling it. The hook is decent though.
i see all the hate so i already know this is the PERFECT single!
1. did yall expect him to make some deep ass song and get no radio play/ buzz and come out and flop?
jay-z said it best “build you up to break you down to build you up again, they like Hov we need you back so we can kill ya ass again”
Not The Best In The World By Cole, Not Something I Am Going To Just Bass, But Its Cool TO Know He Can Have Fun With His Music, But J. Cole C’mon Don’t Float Commercial Like Everyone Else
LMAO cole world huh? Drake’s 2nd album will sell more than Cole’s first.
J.flop world
Awww I’m so disappointed. This is not what I expected. And yes, just like NuJew said, this is so average.
So damn sad right now, J Cole was my hope for new hip hop.
im not sure about this one if im honest, hes got sumthing but not quite there,may have needed a hook from a rnb singer or may need a remix with a faster beat to really do it, we need a harder second single
I was just saying this on another thread.
This isnt a great song. This is just ok. This isn’t ground breaking at all.
I just expect more. I hate to say but Drake is way more lyrical to the ladies than Cole is.
I don’t care if this is for the radio or not, there is no excuse for this to be so subpar. Also this beat was subpar. This production is not even current. I’m not saying it has to be like South beats, but its just so empty.
Both of BigSean’s singles are better than this. And I don’t even like that dude.
I’m still going to buy Cole’s first album. But its looking like the last time Cole will get anything from me.
Cole is not in Drake’s lane at all when it comes to hit making. The comparisons stop here and now.
Are you niggaz seriously retarded or some shit? This is a single! Its suppose to have a broad appeal. Don’t compare this to over. Over was a street single . Return of simba>over . Work out> find your love . Lol . I shouldn’t even be comparing artists but u niggaz took me there.
I probably got my facts wrong but fuck man, u niggaz don’t wana see jermaine win ???
lol @t naw man its shifted by now, everybody used to love dude now its cool to hate him
Seriously you Cole fan’s need to do better.
Drake’s singles were way better than Cole’s period. Just comparing the man to his peer.
Over’s production period was better than any of Cole’s new shit. I say again Big Sean’s singles are better as well.
Just cause a song is for radio, there is no excuse for it to be so bland. That’s hustling backwards. If your going to make a single, put something good on the radio. I see cat’s using the Radio as his Crutch when its supposed to be his tool for making himself more widely known.
All summer you heard Fancy, your not going to hear this empty song that much in the club, ladies aren’t about to be dancing to this. It barely has a melody.
Cole went the, “drop it on the floor and get low route.” Dude sounds so uncomfortable on this.
I want to see Cole win. But I’m not going to be delusional about it. And make it seem like him making subpar music its “haters” fault. He’s the one in the lab making this music.
I think it’s time for him to let others in on his beat selection. I don’t think he has another Hi Power track in him.
When it’s all said and done, he has to do numbers. Or he will find himself on the shelf.
I guess I’m too deep for the intro as well.
Dang it was kinda hot till he started rappin. Hook foolish. Beat stupid. However, rap -blah/nah.
My nigga Cole is cold, bt dnt kno how to choose a good single
This song a fucking anthem! Get it? A fucking . Anthem !
The overall feel of this track is bad. Doesn’t sound good enough as a single and it doesn’t really sound like a normal J. Cole song. Return of Simba would’ve been better off being the single instead of this.
i expected something better for the single but nevertheless i think its solid, good choice for the single
Best comment I seen so far ‘RT @ElliottWilson: RT @TriniTrent: People say that J. Cole got too commercial on Work Out. Fuck y’all. Dude has an album to sell. This ain’t mixtape music.’ Lol . Boom !
I prefer Who dat, but then …… last time I checked I wasn’t a woman.
Every song on Friday Night Lights was better than this…… I knew he was gonna blow it.
Lol Drake built his success off of a mixtape and still managed to keep that same quality in his singles.
Keep making excuses for this guy. Work Out is subpar.
I guess all those Cole comparisons to Drake were unfounded after all.
^Dude you’re still here? LMAO HI HATER!
Damn. I’m a huge Cole fan, but seriously, whats this? SUPER disappointed!
3 words- “FIND YOUR LOVE”
Love the “hater”rhetoric Cole fans are spitting.
That just tells the rest of us that even they know he fked up.
^Or maybe it tells us that you’ve been stalking the same page for at least an hour and a half telling us all how much u hate this nigga. What a loser.
let’s see how this single does
but say goodbye to classic album cole
you have to give him a chance to grow its only his first major look, he cant just do it with one song
Lol get a smart phone nigga.
Just because yoy have to sit in your mom living room posting your love for mediocre Cole songs and screaming bloody murder on anyone who disagrees dont mean we all are
Funny how your stalking my comments talking about me stalking a page.
Im just commenting. Now hurry up and get off the dail up, moms need to make a call.
AIN’T FEELIN’ IT!!!! THIS IS A BAD RADIO RECORD!!!! “IN THE MORNING” WAS ACTUALLY A BETTER RADIO RECORD!!!! SAME WIT “WHO DAT”!!!! SHE SHOULDA PICKED ONE OF THOSE FOR HIS FIRST SINGLE!!!! NIGGAS AIN’T SAYIN’ IT’S WACK CUZ IT’S RADIO RECORD!!!! IT’S WACK CUZ IT’S NOT A GOOD RECORD!!!!
….U MUFUCKAS ACTIN’ LIKE THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A BAD RADIO RECORD!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Stop with the Drake wins crap. Drake sold TML off hype the biggest hype since 50. Only thing his songs were not hits that’s why he only sold a lil more than Nikki. Cole a different artist this song is for the ladies fool he already know how to capture hip hop fans who don’t buy records. Same dudes talking Drake wins like Marvins Room which is horrible TML leftover shit if you ask me. I aint checking for him “his reign on the top was shorter than leprechaun” he wants to be a rnb singer. Even if Cole first album don’t blow like PAC or Jay didn’t he can still be king. So just sit back and enjoy the show.
Cole did it,for the people who say its 2 commercial it definitely doesn’t equate to what wiz did with that roll up bullshit
Stans will holla dope. It is descent, but the 50 flow hook is too constant that he is now unoriginal and biting, imo. And he’s not that good with that singing flow either. It feel likes one of them joking around hooks, doesn’t sound too pleasurable or serious.
They falsely proclaim him the next big thing when his style was never fitting for it. They must’ve encourage him to be more mainstream so he chose 50’s flow. Should’ve just holler at 50, really.
NO hit single here. It’s a lil bland. After all the hype his buzz will die like Drake’s did (Nicki stole Drak’es light and she whack)
.
Switch your style young boy,
lmao I have a smart phone, like everybody else in the universe, but I don’t see what that has to do with anything at all. You’re still wasting your life on the same page, refreshing it for hours just to hate on a nigga a hundred times. Damn, kid, what went wrong in your life to make u so pathetic and bitter?
I give 1 MONTH to errybody to ride on this track, it’s dope, ya’ ll should be so honored to have such mainstream music when all you hear on radio is the same, eather produced by STARGATE, RED ONE/ POLOW DA DON.
“HOW R U HOT WHEN YOU PA FOR OR BILL BOARD SPOT” – REDMAN

“HOW R U HOT WHEN YOU PAY FOR YOUR BILLBOARD SPOT” – REDMAN #howhigh (think about it, ya’ll come on rapradar to see what? pop.)
Keeping it 100 the hook sounds like a 50 throw away and the verses sound like Kanye said spit it like me.. Dude is lost when it comes to making mainstream music.. The beat is super wack and people saying it will bang on the radio are reaching big time.. Calling him B.O.B is putting what BoB did last year to shame.. Those records BoB had were big crossover joints at first listen.. This isn’t that..
Just like Who Dat it might see some time on radio then it will vanish into the sun set.. It sucks to say this but it is the cold hard facts to all you Drake haters on this site.. With him Cole wins without him not so much..
Cole is what Nas is right now.. A great rapper who can’t find the mix for a mainstream audience.. Not without help..
@Mike you are dumb. FOH with B.o.b. comparisons. Bruno mars song is better than cole’s single? And nas? He made best rap album ever… i hate people like you… FUCK OUTTA HERE
This shit is dope
@Mike
Well said bro. Agreed.
And the reason most of us who dont like this song is rubbing it in, is because thes same stans post Cole World all over this blog and especially on a Drake post.
So we giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Like ive said before, I want this guy to win, but hes losing big time on this.
I dont agree with the Nas comparison tho. Nas could make mainstream shit if he wanted. He just doesnt. I believe Cole just cant at this time.
NOT FEELING IT, SORRY I TRIED BUT ILL DEFINATLY CHEK HIS UPCOMING ALBUM
The single is getting a lot of hate on the blogs, twitter, and the internet overall but I actually like the song. You will hear it in the clubs and definitely on the radio. When you have a debut album to sell and you’re trying to sell it to people who actually buy records then this is a good way to start the album roll out. I have a feeling that once the album actually drops a lot of the naysayers will be quiet so it’s only a matter of time before everyone hops back on the J. Cole bandwagon.
Only reason Drake Is popular is because of lil wayne cosign! Seriously he was a actor turn rapper that shit dont workout without a huge cosign.
Jay-Z on the other hand want Cole to create a huge buzz on his own. No joint single except one while wayne did multiple with Drake.
Comeup>Tml
Anyone who says jcole sold out doesn’t kno what they’re talkn bout..besides the fact he jus had lost ones leak which is one of the realest songs ever..this is a single for the summer..its still cleverly written the beat is sick…we all know he is gonna touch on serious topics but anyone sayn why he made this song obviously doesn’t kno cole makes song bout chicks all the time have u ever hear..ladies..disgustin..higher..in the mornin..college boy..you got it…if u think cole is a one dimensonial mc then ur not a real fan
Honestly, Im really disappointed. I expected alot more from Jermaine. I understand he has an album to sell but he needs to find a balance because this record is not going to work. Cole is my favorite artist right now and I support him completely. Even though Im not fuckin with this, im still buying the album. I just hope it sounds completely different than this.
I like it
This is radio friendly Cole went the Rap rote with Who Dat and it didnt quite work out. This song is to get him on Radio and for more people to know his name.
As a female i can see myself in the raves dancing to this with some guy behind me.
All these Drake and J.Cole comparisons are fucking stupid drake make better songs but J.cole has classics is any one actually going to bump Miss me or Over 10yrs l8r i think not bitches.
COLE SUMMER.
There’s dumbing down for the dollar then there’s this. Still a few good lines in here but his flow is so different as well. The worst thing is he probably won’t get the hit single he’s hoping for with this shit cause it’s just average. Ladies might wanna bump it but I’m not feeling it. You can still be clever with a good hit or rap hard and get a hit single. If only Lights Please hadn’t been released and was the debut single. shame.
That album’s gonna brick if he doesn’t get some heat, FAST.
For all the haters, hes a lyrical genius, he’s rich, nd guess wat get a ladder go on top of your house nd jump head first. Biatch
@Mike
Nas does not need a mainstream song to be recognized his song “Nasty” set the internet on fire/trending worlwide. Nas has went platinum/gold without radio play. See that is the difference between Nas and other rappers…Nas’ talent is too RAW to ever be denied with or without radio.
J Cole needs to let his talent speak and not be pressured into doing anything other than displaying his creativity.
Man you guys are silly….talking about going pop, dumbing down, trying to cross over, etc. just because he didn’t feel like going on the pulpit for this single. Ppl are complex and have different aspects of who they are. This just shows one aspect of who dude is. I love this song, cause every now and then I really just want to know if a girl wants to fuck.
You let nostalgia cloud your memories and create a past with way more mystique than it should have. This reminds me of Pac’s Do For Love (the idea of the song not the melody) and I’m sure if that song came out today y’all would be saying the same thing “trying to crossover” “pop” when they’re just expressing themselves..
and I think the beat is crazy
COLE SUMMER
Damn..woke up and I see its already 200+ comments. HA!
J.COLE WINS!!!!! love it or hate it…you’re still talkin about the single haha. COLE WORLD
dope,but not normal cole level dope
looooooooool the ‘am dissappointed’ comments really make me laugh! cole has haters only means his doing a great job
#coleworld
NOT A GOOD MOVE FOR J.COLE TO RELEASE HIS FIRST SINGLE OVER TWITTER I WOULD OF LIKED IF HE HAD DEBUTED ON B.E.T NICE SONG BUT COULD OF BEEN WAY BETTER WHO DAT WAS BETTER THEN THIS AND HIS MARKETING TEAM SUCK. LOOK WHAT JAYZ DID TOO BEYONCE A FLOPP
FLIPPED THAT SHIT
This is the shit
This joint goes HARD COLE. THIS IS YOUR YEAR EVERYBODY IN RAP LOOKING FOR THE NEW LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL. EVERYBODY SOUNDS THE SAME. YOU GOT THAT EVOLUTION FLOW. I HOPE I PULL A DIME THIS SUMMER TO THIS SONG.
I like J Cole, but this song looks like NO.
this is jus one single guys relax theres still the danger track and the one with trey songs , wix dropped black and yellow on my level and i roll up, drake dropped over find your loving and miss me cant judge him over on radio single
i h8 how rappers gotta drop dis pop bullshit to get plays on da radio, wheres da real hip hop at ?
Everyone who thinks this song is a wack single and who dat was a better single drop could never actually sell a single if it were there job…
cole has enough songs with lyrical content but not enough bangers
now he has both.
get ready to hear this in a club and on a radio near u
shit at least it sounds better then that chris brown big sean shit
Beat is dope. Even our favorites artists dropped records like this people (i.e. Jay-Z, Em, etc). It’s a single, what’d you expect? He’s gotta appeal to the ladies as well, they’re the only ones who actually purchase music anymore. Lighten up. Cole is still that dude, he didn’t go ‘Full Retard” like Wiz did w/ “Roll Up”. I will say this though, that Paula Abdul “Straight Up” sh*t at the end is a bit corny.
ehh… could do w/o the 50 hook… still buying the album though
J. Cole is HOT…this song goes too hard and its simple.
COLE WORLD!!!!
@ColoradoKnight
lmao @ wiz going “fully retard”
Plain and simple….The song is hot. You people judge and say his album wont be a classic off of literally 1 song. Either way. The comments on here are 220+ comments deep. He’s doing something right……cole world
its growing on me, shit…it sounds fresh tho
Like Cole said “Old bitter ass sit around in middle class homes/ with computers on/ hatin’ on the newest song” This is ofcourse not his best work, but definitely not average… This is fresh.
u niggas gotta b stupid if u think this is trash!!!Cole hasnt change one bit! he has atleast one or two songs like this on every single body of work he does… u niggas asses… & even if u dnt like this song ukno he hasnt changed bcuz u heard lost ones & it won’t be long. u niggas fake… how the hell would cole survivie if he use Return of Simba as his single? that wouldnt work!!! smh… Cole kno what he is doin… his nxt single isnt gonna b radio friendly.. it gonna b real rap & get alot of radio play bcuz he’s done gonna establish himself on the radio already becuz of this song! niggas need to wake up.
All yall saying this is HOT must get SHOT!!!!! THis shit sucks!
gay
@cash i Hate When Muhfuckaz Get On here Saying An Artist Is Wack If They Wack Dont CLick The fuckin Link
DAMN, after hearing that god-awful new game single, this shit is FIRE. Not just that its sick compared to the game single, but its also just dope. The beat reminds me of ‘Stronger’ alot, from the robotic sounding vocal sample to the funky guitar loop
Who the hell is this philly lawyer? Why are u hatin’ on J. Cole that much?
I’m sure this is the first J. Cole song you have ever listened to….
Didn’t they teach you at your internet law school to inform yourself before writing something?
really cole? this is sub-par material. true hip-hop enthusiasts don’t want to listen to this kind of content matter, you should know that. bigger things are expected from you.
damn catchy. i like it. and it don’t hurt that he sampled one of my fav kanye songs.
honestly to all u haters, its a hustle and you can’t appreciate that. he has to put out something that the radio can bang and generate buzz. people buy albums of things that they hear on the radio. thats just the reality. i don’t expect the whole album to be like this, just a single or two.
the ladies will like it. he’s getting a new fanbase. it is what it is.
You guys dont remember how corny kanyes workout plan was???? yet everyone calls college dropout a classic….jigga that nigga, h to the izzo and hola hovito were wack but yall still call blueprint a classic…give cole a chance fuck
You Got It >>> Work Out
@Lyrykal
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!! That is all! 🙂
“Yall hate it before you played it, I already forgave ya”-J.Cole “Devil in a New Dress Freestyle”
I like Drake AND Jcole why do you guys act like its one or the other, god damn.
This is absolutely nothing special!
240 plus comments ha . get em cole
J. Cole just doesn’t have mainstream appeal, and that’s why he will never get the kind of recognition he deserves; even on Jay’s label. it’s kinda sad really.
ITS COLE WORLD NO SNUGGIE BUT THIS SONG IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE THE ALBUM LIKE RETURN OF SIMBA AND NOT SOME SHIT LIKE THIS. THIS IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ONLY BUMP HIS MIXTAPES. COME ON COLE…WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ALBUM THAT YOU SAID WAS GOING TO BE THOUGHT PROVOKING AND A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.
this is a good track but i expected a bit more. hope this gets him some mainstream appeal. better pick a better single next time. still #Cole World
It May Not Be The J.Cole That We All Know But Honestly We All Know He Needed Somethin For The Radio Like Be Real And Best Believe He Could Have Did Way Worst, To The Idiot Who Said It Sound Like Soulja Boy Stfu And Get Off This Post Quick Because You Dont Know Shit And This Will Actually Play In The Clubs And Females Will Eat This Up So Honestly I Give This Track Like A 7.5/8 Out Of 10 Its Really Not That Its Just You Faggots Love To Say A Nigga Sold Out And Be The Same Niggas Who Dont Buy CDs
This is gay as fuck. This is the first time i’ve ever really questioned J. Cole’s inevitable blowup. What a terrible idea. Unless the plan is to leak this as a single, duck and cover, then two weeks later drop the real single which will sound hard as fuck automatically compared to this. Yeah, thats gotta be it.
RealNiggaShit(tm)
I cant believe that ppl still saying that FNL was average..did yall not here 2Face, Farewell, before Im gone, too deep for the intro, see world, enchanted, home for the holidays…if FNL came out before the warm up yall would be saying that it was his best work..
Damn……..What happend to the fire! GAYWORLD
Who d fuck compare cole to papoose career tho? Niggaz saying he one album delay away from working in burger king. Lol. This nigga gona make y’all eat your words. We all know how talented he is. Go cop that album when it drops fools. I stay Supporting real talent
shit is still bumpin
Man, J was waitin for him to release THIS!? Who Dat was a way better single yo, I mean come on now. This is completely beneath his talent level. Oh well, I’m still coppin Cole World in a few. Just gonna have to skip this one or hope it grows on me
What I don’t understand is why people believe that J Cole music are classic songs. Yeah they have that old school melody and sound but they are not classic music. Classic Hip Hop music are when you hear the sound or listen to the lyrics you know that S**t year from now. Example Nas & Lauren Hill “If I ruled the world,” Method & Mary “Your all I need,” Wu Tang “Cream” or “Ice cream,” etc. now those, those are classic songs.
Haters… Have y’all actually listened to this track? This shit go hard, perfect for the summer and its only the beginning. Cali type feel dropped right before his favorite artist Memorial (R.I.P. Pac. Its gonna be a Cole World have no fear y’all
This is bad, really bad. Come on Cole you’re better than this!
The Speaker of Truth has spoken
Shut the FUCK up and listen to the story he’s telling… The music is fucking DOPE too… quit hating… Damn…
I think this is dope. Don’t understand the hate. Make a single that stays grounded in what he does, and it’ll lowkey kill the radio.
Cole been getting a lot of haters lately. I guess he made it!
The bigger you are the more haters you gain.
It’s sad how people think this is good enough for the radio. This doesn’t have the mainstream appeal to be played on the radio or in the club. The song was for ladies but it also doesn’t sound like something they would go crazy over. Honestly, Return of Simba would’ve been the better single. Maybe J. Cole can get some tips from Drizzy on crafting a proper single. Although this song is a massive disappointment I’m pretty sure the rest of the album will be amazing.
y isn’t this a rapradar top 5 post??? is there a conspiracy going on here ?
First of all, this doesn’t suck automatically just because it’s a radio friendly joint, EVERYBODY should be allowed to have a good time, some of you niggas just need to get out the basement more and fuck some women from time to time
But this song does suck because IT SOUNDS like he’s trying for that radio joint, it feels soulless, like he’s trying too hard for it. Most of the greats do it effortlessly (I’m not saying he’s great, BUT YOU NIGGAS like to say it, so that’s what I’ma hold him up to)
Some of Biggie’s greatest lines came in his radio joints, certain niggas just have a knack for doing it. They shouldn’t be holding this nigga up for some Top 40 shit that might not come, let him do him, and everything will either work or it won’t.
YALL SOME dumb ass niggas!!! he got to appeal to white people and dumb niggas like most of yall who dislike this song! this song is Tight anyway. yall need to look up the word strategy! Regardless he killing the game. he has never disappointed me on a track!
