Video: J. Cole on The Deal
[media id=32]
(4:00) When people give me a whole bunch of extra props, I don’t feel like I’ve done anything yet. Like I don’t deserve these yet. Let me get to where I want to be first and then I’ll celebrate.
“Wat up Ib!”

No Said Date was ill, but it doesnt compare to OB4CL2…Damn near all 21 tracks on there are pure flames, not to mention Rae is a slightly more compelling lyricist than Masta Killa

Word! Cube and Scarface deserve to be on everybody’s list. Why they allways get snubbed escapes me.

@Cold
I don’t know if you’re still checking for Radiohead, but after a few more listens ‘Kid A’ is definitely one of my fav albums of theirs, check that out if you haven’t already bro

What Cold? Didn’t you hear his first 3 solo albums? ALL of them shits were classics and that’s coming from a NY nigga that did all I could to hate on the West Coast, but good music is good music!
September 30th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Cube is not top 15….top 30 yeah
September 30th, 2009 at 10:05 am
“Who the phuck is that?
Its Ice Cube Mutha-Phuka!
Hes a maniac.
Thats so true Mutha-Phuka!”
September 30th, 2009 at 10:06 am
Dipset > Wu-Tang
am i wrong if i say that?
I seriously think Cam is better than anyone and everyone in the Wu…bar none…
Dipset had grown men in the hood wearing pink and purple..
Ghost and Rae only had niggas wearin wallabes and timbs…

^ wait we can’t have this discussion without first stating an opinion on what a MC is.
.. for me a MC is someone immersed in the culture so much so, it limits his ability to branch off and fully commit to other endeavors. He sleeps tunes and has a natural effortless flow.

yo on that 70′s rock group tip, who would you recommend so far?

Word.But that small ass jacket bothers me.This nigga modeling his wrists.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:09 am
>>He went in on Lil Jon’s “Grand Finally” amoungst his peers, Nas, TI, Jada…
That track was totally unexpected from Lil Jon.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:09 am
I mean if being the main creative force behind NWA, making top 3 hardest dis record off all time & making 3 back to back classic albums dont make you top 15, I dunno what you have to do…honestly.
Just cos Cube dont rap like Rakim dont mean he isnt nice..
September 30th, 2009 at 10:09 am
I think Cole has the potential to drop a classic, that flow is full of hunger.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:09 am
Cube is a great artist, but not a great MC. You ever hear Cube freestyle, one of the tell tell signs of a good MC.

The fuck is a ‘Grand Finally”????
Finale>Finally
September 30th, 2009 at 10:11 am

^ I’ve been listening to Moody Blues… But for an overall, of some good classics, copp that flower power CD from time Life (no homo).
September 30th, 2009 at 10:12 am
I finale bought a few albums ive been meaning to.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:12 am
I’ll go as far as saying
Cam > Pac
Pac was living off that Thug Image….acting hard and beating niggas up…thats why fatherless youth were attracted to Pac…because they saw the father figure they never had..
Pac was trash lyrically..
“Sipping Hennessy, On the look out for my enemies“
GTFOH with that bullshit..
I was born in SC too…
Snoop > Pac

I dont agree with that. Cos Nas or GZA cant freestyle for shit. And I seen both of them try.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Cube is respectable and definitely top 3 outta Cali.But he’s not top 1-15,you can make that list with all east coast niggas to be honest,add Scarface.And Tupac.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Cube flow wasn’t that great, but the message behind his music is what makes him a legend and a great artist sweartogawd I was thinking about cube ranking on the all times list
Lethal Injection >
I remember stealing that shit from my brother in the early 90′s on of the very few memories I have from back then, that tape and the rakim “know the ledge” single from the juice soundtrack
September 30th, 2009 at 10:14 am

^ you obviously didnt hear Nas, going bat shit crazy on hot 97 early.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Those subliminals BIG was sending at pac on LAD….were ether..
“Through the Grapevines, I heard you got fucked 4 times…“
Word to Chino XL saying Pac got his anal orifice invaded in prison..

Are you fucking kidding me? Cube is/was a hands down better MC then Tupac. And actor!
September 30th, 2009 at 10:15 am

No, but I heard him embarrass himself on Westwood back in the Illmatic era, before admitting “I dont really do the freestyle shit man..”
September 30th, 2009 at 10:16 am

^ this is all Im sayin… but we’re talking greatest mc, not great artist, legend or business mind.
I prop Cube for being a smart business man. But being a smart business man conflicts with being a great MC… think about it.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Cube may be top 20.. Great voice and mic presence and stage presence.. But I cosign cOLD in regards to his delivery
September 30th, 2009 at 10:20 am
@XFACTA
O.K. let’s keep it funky then,Tash from the Liks is a better emcee than Cube.
*straight face*
September 30th, 2009 at 10:37 am
..mad at this dumbass BET host saying ‘he cant phantom’..he aint StylesP..the word is phathom..and tell him to stop ‘extra messing’ w dudes pause lol
..oh but them bars were dope..jCole is the future
September 30th, 2009 at 10:48 am
I’d watch The Deal if it was aired during the time of the living. And if the hosts weren’t minstrel copies of Terrence and Rocsi. They try too hard throwing slang like bologna on the wall. But J. Cole is beast.
September 30th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
memphitz said, ‘I’m trying to phantom that’ …
September 30th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Ha! i thought it was funny that the host was trowing up the Roc sign more than j.cole, you can tell j. cole a real humble dude he could be acting extra greasy being that he’s signed to jay but instead he keeps it cool

^ nigga u was born a str8 crack baby and ur moms and pops smoke crack with you right now till this day and watch while you get butt fucked by ur boyfriend.Thats the only thing that can justify these outrageous statements u have made. Obviously u have never listend to the man who has college courses on his work. what the fuck has cam ever said that was n e where near thought provoking, nothing except( oochie gooie tootie fruity) fuck outta here. And as far as the game and the rest of them niggas u said was better than pac that nonsense is not even worth commenting on. Them niggas would never say they were better than pac.
