New Music: J.Cole “Higher”
June 13, 2010 @ 11:25 AM EDT
News
This is an unreleased cut that somehow found its way to the Net. If this is any indication on how the album will sound, Cole’s gon set this bitch on fire, for sure.
He should of used this instead of Who Dat ?
Finally some new Cole!!!!!!!!!!!! Just made my day
Mark my words : wont sell as much as TML, but I bet on EVERYTHING his debut gonna be better than Drake’s
Dope.
J cole Debut will be better than drakes as it will be all Hiphop.
Plus J cole is nice with the lyrics and flow.
Dope
J. COLE IS THE FUTURE… HE IS MORE TALENTED THAN DRAKE! REAL HIP-HOP! HE SHOULD BE #1… BRING BACK HIP-HOP!
HATE ME NOW!
I hope this guy get more recognition in his music
This is ok…songs like he is trying to sing!
He shouldve used this as his first single
who dat has is lame
Dope
@K.o.D.
Hip Hop never died.
and everybody needs to stop bringing Drake up on these J. Cole post especially since they have nothing in common except for the fact they’re both freshmen rappers and they’re half Black & half white.
idk man…i hope jcole cud find that hit..cus he in the big leagues now all the lil hits like that not gon cut it.. step it up n find that hit jcole…real niggas is rooting for u
I don’t know what people are talking about when they say Who Dat was wack—I mean what were you expecting??? Were expecting a big opener like Over??? Honestly Who Dat was a street single and it was hot—It even gets plays on Hot 93.7. Cole is finally in Hov’s Blueprint 3 lead where he releases two street singles bulding up to a single that’ll win everyone hearts like Empire State of Mind did.
Who Dat was awesome and it was flawless in my opinion.
niiiiiice….the beat is kinda wierd for Cole, but he alawys come wit it lyricly…not gonna b big commercially buut deff well recieved by the hip hop community….
Here’s my thing, i am a big listener or music, pop, rock, country, etc. And i need to hear them hits mann. Like i never once listened to Nipsey Husstle. Then wen he dropped that joint wit Lloyd a few days ago, i listened and now i have a Nipsey song on my ipod. If JCole can just gimme a hit that i can play along wit the rest of the different artist in my ipod i will rock wit him. But im sorry, these songs aren’t doing it for me. I wanna hear some hits
The boy got hits man. This shit is leaks. Wait til you hear the album! Shit is classic. Keep rootin for him and clappin for him cuz he’s gonna win in the end. Drake been out mad longer than him. There is no comparison. Drake is an R&B artist. Cole is a rapper. Leave that shit alone and wait til the album drops!!!
This is nice. You can defo hear the Pac influence in him.
@Nobody,
You’re right there is no comparison but Drake is a rapper and a singer can’t you get over that fact??? Andre 3000, Lauryn Hill, and B.o.B. are also rappers who can also sing and even Mos Def does a little singing every once in a while—Drake is good, J. Cole is better now stop bringing Drizzy up on every J. Cole topic dammnit.
Drake season coming to an end, Em season bout to end too. Now it’s bout to be j Cole season where we see new shit he doing everyday. I ain’t heard this song yet cuz I’m on a phone, but this the first new song I seen from dude in months. Keep knocking ’em out boy, Who Dat was very very average, minus the lyrics cuz you always bring some dope lyrics, but the hook and beat were average. Hopefully this song is worth the listen but keep putting out new shit, build some buzz! Jay not teaching you this stuff?
J cole plays safe with everything he does his beat selection everything he does is safe he never takes risks that’s why he will never be bigger then the leader of the new cats drake
I KNOW DRAKE IS A FUCKING R&B SINGER…. BUT ALL THE TEENAGE GIRLS THINK HE IS ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS AND THEY DON’T KNOW WHO THE FUCK IS J. COLE… THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW THIS GUY! J. COLE IS THE NEXT NAS!
dope for sure
@k.o.d
I think it’s too soon to make that statement…bout Cole being the next nas
I guess people aren’t reading my comments because they’re still calling Drake an R & B and still comparing Cole to Nas even though Cole doesn’t have anything in common with Nas. Nas never rapped about girls as much as Cole did.
Rappers who sing:
Andre 3000
Lauryn Hill
Mos Def
Cee-Lo
B.o.B.
Kid Cudi
Pharoahe Monch
Queen Latifah
Phonte
J. Cole >>>>
ANDRÉ 3000, MOS DEF, ETC. SING BUT THEY’RE REAL EMCEES! DRAKE CAN’T RAP!…
Drake can’t rap?? Woow, saids one of the biggest mixtapes in years, said the 2 Grammy nods, saids the number one rap song in America right now (OVER), saids two songs in the top 20 Hot 100 charts and when these record sells come out we’ll see. Dude isnt’ where he is cus he ain’t talented so please stop it.
SORRY, BUT DRAKE’S A HORRIBLE RAPPER! KRS-ONE HAS NO “TOP 20 HOT 100 CHART SONG” AND HE’S AN EMCEE. DRAKE AIN’T HIP-HOP!
Before I clicked it post i already knew you’d mention drake at least 3 times, they both talented , but they in different lanes, let them live!
I think Who Dat is fire. I think this song is fire Cole keeps impressing me. Dont keep looking for Cole to drop that big pop song cause he not. This dude wanna rap and thats exactly what he been doin. If he drop a classic its more important then selling records look at Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt.
I would say this nigga is next up but right now all his shit is what im listening to right now This nigga got Now in My Eyes
the samples this nigga be ripping is crazy
Dope song. I have to admit I wasn’t crazy about the Star is Born verse, but this kid is definitely showing and proving as he should be. With every new song or freestyle I hear, I like his music more and more. Keep doing your thing Cole. And why do people keep saying Drake can’t rap? Not only can Drake rap, he is definitely an MC, no question about it. Real hip-hop heads know the difference. Both of these dudes give me hope about the future of rap music. Big ups to both of them.
@K.o.D,
Drake can rap and that’s way he’s is praised now he maybe over praised but that doesn’t take away the fact that he’s still a good rapper and you can’t say Drake is not Hip Hop my dude—Hell you can’t even say Soulja Boy is not Hip Hop because as long as you’re rapping you are Hip Hop. There’s no fake Hip Hop only good and bad Hip Hop and Drake is good. Also The same way Drake fans are making him out to be something that he’s not the haters are the same exact thing by acting like he’s Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy, or Wacka Flacka Flames. Why don’t you guys just admit that you hate Drake for the fact that he’s so popular??? If Drake was an Underground artist signed to Talib Kweli’s label you would be praising the hell out of him wouldn’t you???
ok i got it on repeat now lol… shit is a banger but missing suntn, but still in all good feel to it..but make them bangers my nigga,n we riding…n keep it honest as u always do…cant loose wit that
it not master @NYG187
^ Exactly Like c’mon now, you think Nas would cosign dude, Jay, T.I., damn near everyone cosign dude because dude is just talented and u can’t take that away. And as far as good and bad, who are u to say what is good and bad music, that is a matter of personal preference, what u may think sucks someone else might love. And from the looks of Drake’s success, there’s alot of ppl who love what he is doing
it is so refreshing to finally hear that their are still true hip-hop fans who can see pass all the hype surrounding rappers nowadays especially Drake he has nothing on J.Cole and i cant wait for Cole World because TML was more like a R&B album
lol at you thirsty hiphop fans talking about an album yall havent heard yet is gonna be a classic. Stop the hyperboles and just chill and stop comparing J Cole and Drake. You dudes are so predictable, they both have their own lanes.
nice timing cole, with drizzy fever going crazy hollywood cole woulda got forgotten. But for real though… who really wanna fuck with hollywood cole??? Track is dope, seems like classic j. cole, but for all you Who Dat hater, you all stupid, that song is vicious. ”
Clown told me “ain’t you roc? well? where the fuck yo chain at?”
Guess it’s somethin like your girl, nigga it aint came yet.
Hot fucking damn..
and word to flawda, cole and drake have their own lanes, they got their own sound, you can have YOUR opinion on whos a better RAPPER, but thats YOUR opinion. It’s not neccessarily the truth. Personally I think drake is fucking dope as hell, but RIGHT NOW I just think Cole’s flow and delivery is insane, so I PERSONALLY prefer Cole as a rapper. Maybe if Drake experiments with new producers he can change his flow up or something and i’ll fuck with him more, cause I used to fuck with drizzy on Comeback Season and shit, when his flows were less static.
Waka Flocka Flame > J.Cole
the fact that you people can call who dat average amazes me… that shit is fucking fire. That beat bangs, maybe you people need a proper quality recording, because that shit was breaking my speakers. And I dunno what you expect from the chorus, its a dope but simple chorus… who dat, who dat… so beyond lyrics that was a great song to me, i uno.
@So Icy Boi! your gay point plank period……if you come onto a website that has really hip hop and barely ever put gucci of waka on here cause they are trash then you are a blind, deaf, hater…cause gucci and waka talk about nothing, waka barely even rhymes….an J. Cole, Drake are both hard, but J. Cole is better…drake can spit but he isnt great
@ultrakid
Cosign
im not trying to bring drake up on here cause personally i like them both, and i hate when ppl always compare them…so just leave ot alone cause j. cole and Drake both said they are cool with each other, so drop it
like it or not, hip hop is based on competition alot of times so dont think Drake or Cole aint saying to themselves “i know im betta than this nigga.” otherwyz it aint hip hop, then its rock n roll. BTW
@HIP_HOP_FAN012 you can say want you want but who had a number one video on BET and MTV ?? who had a top ten rap hit?? ..Case Closed! ..i hear Waka on the radio every day who is a J.Cole?
Who takes So Icy Boy seriously? HIS NAME IS SO ICY BOY!! lmao y’all need to realize who to just laugh at sometimes…Gucci/Waka fans are at the top ofthat list
the amount of hate for drake on this website and on a NON-DRAKE RELATED POST is incredible. guess you haven’t made it big until you have one hater for every fan. J Cole is definitely talented and has the respect of the hip hop community, but you all sound like whiny little bitches because drake happens to have more commercial appeal than your favorite rapper.
THIS SHIT IS FIIYAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Yo J Cole is the best new young MC in the game today!!! Fuck that jew Drake, he didn’t have to struggle or grand he had everything handed to him and TML was trash even his own fans are saying it.
J Cole gonna debut with an amazing album i can feel it. Cole said the album gonna be a story from beginning to end about life, family, relationships, problems and partying etc. everyday shit. can’t wait.
Why does J.Cole have to be the new Nas? Why can’t he just be hot as himself…these fucking comparisons are getting out of control…
Rickk they co-sign Drake for publicity if you didn’t know that you lost. Drakes fanbase are ttenage girls (disney crowd) who don’t know bettter. truth hurts
have any of you J Cole nuthuggers even LISTENED to TML?? shit is classic, despite your biased opinion. yeah he’s not going hard on every song like an “uptown” feel or anything, but it’s good music in general. that’s it, i’m done trying to convince any of you idiots. i feel sorry for you and your music tastes.
@truthplease
Dickrider, youre literally the ONLY person Ive met that thinks Thank Me Later is a classic. I’m a Drake fan, and I was disappointed that that was all he came with. I hate to say it but it seems like hes kind of stopped progressing as an artist. TML was ok, but not worth buying if your not already a Drake fan, and DEFINITELY not a classic.
This is a good mixtape cut, and J Coles verses are sick, but this shouldnt be an album track
truthplease
Thank Me Late r Corny Quotes and Lines:
“I wish that I was still in school so I could have you in my dorm room.”
“your finer than your fine cousin”
its all happening penny lane, just like you said”
“I got these other rappers nervous…prom night”
lol funny shit but the album is limited subject matter its shallow.
Haters/Stans
can you read? the song is unreleased
I’m glad to see this shit gettin all these comments regardless of what’s being said…it’s a dope song
@Omega
Which means they havent put it on anything yet. Think before posting, dumbass.
here’s a way to put things into perspective….what’d was your first impression of So Far Gone? at first listen i was pissed and was wondering what the fuck Drake was doing, but after a few listens got into it more and more. same with TML.
@truthplease I will admit that TML has about six good cuts that I listen to. It wasn’t a garbage album by any means but it wasn’t classic
Haters/Stans witch means they don’t put an unreleased song on the album dumbfuck its an old song that didn’t make ”The Warm Up”
Like it or not the Waka Flockas the Guccis the Soulja Boys are all needed in Hip Hop. I love Hip Hop because it’s so diverse. Sometimes you wanna be with some Lupe talib kweli and some nas, sometimes you wanna be angry and introspective with some Em, sometimes you wanna get fucked up in the club to some Gucci and Waka and sometimes you wanna be on some grown man business shit with Jay and sometimes you wanna be on some cocky shit with Kanye (even though he’s dope). All of this shit is needed….and if one area disappeared Hip Hop would be lacking
@Omega
Its an UNRELEASED song. They DIDNT release it at all, on anything. Sites have been talking all morning about whether this is a potential album cut, including J Cole’s fansite, so if u have any information that NOBODY else in the entire world has, please go ahead and share it. If not, do everyone a favor, shut the fuck up, and stop talking out your ass.
J Cole is NO Nas lets be clear…he is J Cole but the sad thing is you people are talking more about Drake than J Cole! The thing is you people hype these guys up to hate on them later and best believe the same people hyping J Cole right now will be hating on him in about 3-6 months!
Haters/Stans its Off Tapemasters Inc.’s (unofficial) J. Cole mixtape i just pointing out that the song is old and you thought it was on the album then u i told nerd ass that i isn’t. i explained why its titled unreleased then you switch it up like i was wrong and you was right.
examine your head and make sure your ok bitch
^Unreleased or New its still TRASH!! STFU! get J.Cole dick out ya mouth ….and @Foots u a groupie azz nigga always responded to my comments homo
@So Icy Boi
Bitch I aint even respond to you, I responded to the dude that responded to you..Get off my dick clown. Gucci Mane dickrider! LMAO IM SURPRISED YOU CAN EVEN USE A COMPUTER NIGGA….STOP TRYNA ACT HARD ON THE NTERNET.
@Omega
You are literally too dumb to walk and breathe at the same time. I know its on the unofficial mixtape, my question is this-
How do u know when the song was recorded, or what they plan(ned) on using it for, if its UNRELEASED?
I never said this was an album track, I said there was a lot of speculation that it was for the album.
I doubt they would use it after it leaked onto the mixtape; but if this was intended for the album thats not a good look.
If youre still somehow too stupid to understand the words that youre reading, please dont bother to respond, I’m not a fuckin Special Ed teacher get someone else to explain it to u.
huge cole fan but this was just ok nothing special.
FIRE!!! album gonna be a classic debut
THE NIGGA SOUND LIKE DRAKE 2ME….
J COLE U NEED 2 STEP UP LIKE A MAN
AND CLEAR UR SELF OF ALL THIS DRAKE SHIT SON
U LIVING IN HIS SHAWDOW IF U ASK ME ??
SINCE HE CAME OUT IT BEEN A DRAKE COMPARISON
HE EVEN TRY TO SWAG LIKE JAY SO I CAN SEE HIM BITTING
IM NOT GON OVER PRAISE U CAUSE U CAN RAP
DO U THO SON
Look. Good music is good music. It doesn’t matter who it comes from. J Cole is dope Drake is dope BoB is dope CyHi Da Prynce is dope. All these new faces of hip-hop they are dope, fuck the pedistal bullshit. Don’t compare any of these guys to legends. They are all good for the game especially compared with all the bullshit that is out there(you guys know who these culprits are). Btw support real music go cop that TML 6-15 and Recovery 6-22
Teenage girls LOVE lupe fiasco too because of his song variety, so does that mean lupe “isnt hip hop” too?
@Foots how ima tryna act hard? did i make any threats to u ? NO! …go suck Eminem dick… .@Haters/Stans i know right dude get all offended at what u said …
Ricki needs to GTFO, Warm up> So Far Gone. End of story. Drake can rap, but Cole can rap better.
that’s a very, very good song…
lol at someone saying over is a rap song man thats some fuckin black eyed peas shit i hate that over beat, thats like saying find your love is rap thats not rap this is rap
Im gonna say this could be a single. i think it will do well I been playing it all day.

J Cole is actually really, really good!
At first we didn’t feel him too much, but we recently realised his flow and his lyrical ability is off the chain.
Check out our article about J Cole here:
http://neologik.co.uk/2010/06/17/j-cole-roc-nations-rapper/
Dude, I discovered this song the day it was first released, and I must say it’s hot!!! To the user who said that teenage girls don’t know who J. Cole is, I’m a teen girl and I have 50+ songs on my iPod from him. I think he is definately better than Drake in terms of lyrics. Although I did like Drake’s song Thank Me Now. It wasn’t on neither of his album or that fake mixtape out. When J. Cole’s album drops I’ll be the first to get it! I’m also looking forward to Kid Cudi’s album Man on the Moon II: Legends of Mr. Rager and Big Sean’s album Finally Famous.
excellent publish, i obviously like this site, continue on it.
