90's Vibez after 20 years ya'll gonna see j cole, kendrick lamar as we see 2pac and biggie now. maybe when those days comes there will be a movie and i hope it has a happy ending
1:40 for whom the bell tolls 7:40 want you to fly 12:50 ville mentality 18:42 immortal 23:50 neighbors 25:46 she's mine pt2 31:55 change 41:05 4 your eyez only Cole is the realest.
The lady at the end said "God has me here for a reason" and I believe it's true. She made it on this film. She touched a million people with her story. I don't think Cole running into her was a coincidence...
Her spirit is just so amazing. I had to humble myself and just tell God thank you. In comparison what this lady has been through and is STILL smiling and sweet and joyful?? Man..... eye opening. God bless her and her family.
So nobody gone talk about the fact that J. Cole's DAD was in this?!!? Thats monumental! Glad to see they are working on building a relationship that made me so happy
i know i saw that and i was like wtf, scanned the comments to see if anyone else said anything than after a shit ton of scrolling I found you and i was like im not crazy. lol
Cole walk around the hood cause he actually trying to help. He not out here claiming he a certified killa or a ruthless “savage”. Real change come from someone trying to CHANGE their hood, not add to the stereotype
Cole is just real. He doesn't do anything but stay out of the spotlight and rap about what's real to him. That's why I love him. I understand the boring comments, but sometimes I need to listen to someone who's chill and poetic. He can paint a picture or a scene with his songs that a lot of rappers now a days can't do. He ain't trying to come up with the craziest beats or come up with fake words or rap the fastest, he's just fuckin real. Much love Cole!!! Seeing you in August and I can't wait ❤❤❤
He needed the hits back in 2009 - 2011. After Born Sinner he was already a star. All he really needed was the exposure and now he can just sit back and chill and make great music. He sold 500k the first week without promotion for an album about some real shit. Him and Kendrick have the biggest impact on this generation. Future took months to go Gold. Rick Ross sold 100k the first week. Kendrick sold 610k and Cole 493k. Nothing beats those numbers. Rapping about real stuff & doing numbers >>>>> Typical Rap. Drake is Pop/Rap and he's great but Kendrick and Cole are 100% positive.
FearTheXI Word bro I'm Mexican as well, and what's sad is that Black people and Brown people are always oppressed by the White man, they set this corrupted system up to watch us destroy ourselves, they put black and brown people together in the same slums watching us fight each other and not realizing that we're falling for their trap, it's sad to see two races that are in the same place not get along, that even my own race shakes their head when I shake partners hand, I have respect for my black brothers because we both share the same struggles, some won't agree with me when I say that we are one in the same, get mad at me if you want to but, what I mean by that is that we are all human, the biggest fear for the system is that one day the see us working together and getting along because together we're strong, and I believe if we work together we can't be denied and push around no more, we have to come together hand and hand willing to oppress to those who oppress us. Just my opinion.
5 Years later coming back to this man. Hope that lady got her house done. There's so much of everything in the world, but my heart really goes out to our communities. Wish there was a way to help more. Thank you Cole & Dreamville
Never watched this before...now I understand why fans think he’s the best rapper alive. I am VERY close to agreeing! This was powerful and beautiful candid conversations and cinematography. Loved it so much!
@@BIGproFAN156 It’s a really tough question! Hmmm...it depends on preference in regards to style and technique, but personally I think 💭 Kendrick is the best rapper I’ve ever heard in my life. Flow, cadence, imagery, inflections, melodies, EVERYTHING. Better than any other rapper has ever done it. Jay-Z can’t sing. Biggie stuck to a few topics: women drugs and rags to riches. Cole has amazing stories but are conveyed on questionable beats sometimes. I can’t relate to Eminem’s music half of the time and don’t care for fast rap if the bars aren’t that good. Kendrick can produce music, curate an entire album for a superhero blockbuster, sell out shows and release music with NO promo, make music that divides the fan base yet wins a Pulitzer Prize and 10+ Grammys...there’s no comparison. Nas is also a good contender for best rapper alive, but he hasn’t impacted me the way Kendrick has. Thanks for the question!
@@doriderrell i see. well singing doesn't actually matter for best rapper, but other than aiding versatility . in terms of "checking the box", Kendrick has it. Kanye has the strongest discography but kdot has the like everything elsebeaten, from flow, cadence, lyrics, rawness, originality (that works super well) consistent different
Schoolboy, joey, Kendrick, earl, NF, Futuristic, logic I mean I listened to 4 your eyez only but something about it just wasn't catching my attention but now that I watched this I instantly got hooked back so 👌🏼😤👌🏼🔥🔥
I love how the guy at the beginning asked the girl the simple question of, "Who am I?" Change doesn't start with the rich and famous, nor are they obligated to do anything. Nobody is. But we all have choices, and what we as people choose to do with our choices, is what will change the minds of others.
This makes me cry because I lost my older brother and Dad when I was 11 years old and for the woman at the end to have so much faith in God and just put it all in His hands is amazing. No one ever understands what you're going through because it's a "one man for himself type of world." I know that one day I'll have just as much strength as her to smile like that. I was a daddy's girl and when I lost my dad I lost myself mentally. So I know what it's like to constantly say you have to keep moving on. People eventually stop caring about your sad story, but most people fail to understand that talking about it is a huge way to cope with it. She lost two of her babies, I know it takes everything in her to say keep moving forward. My mom also lost two children and a husband so it is hard. My mom couldn't cope the right way and she completely lost herself mentally and emotionally. She became a drug addict, alcoholic, and she's been diagnosed with schizophrenia for some years now. so seeing this woman be strong for the rest of her babies is life touching. I have eleven siblings that my mom couldn't be strong for because she didn't know good grief at the time, but we're being strong for her and each other. Bless everyone in this video because it's not easy as it looks sometimes. News article on my dad and brother for those who may have been through the same thing or similar to let you know we relate and it's ok not to forget what happened but keep going forward. A little motivation. abc7chicago.com/archive/6304197/ -cole world
Man you speak truth, my ex slept with my ex it still hurts but I tend to talk about to cope with it I can’t just keep it to myself, Ik my problem is not as bad as yours but you say the truth
I wouldn't think of it that way, it's a documentary man a lot of people don't like documentaries. I mean the one Macklemore did for drug addiction last year was amazing and I believe it's still less than half a million views, but if 1.3Mil people watch this then that's a million people inspired because this was amazing✌🏼
the end is really inspiring like the woman is 52 old has a 3 jobs her son was killed her daughter was murdered and she still standing strong , what a true woman like she said " you gotta keep moving" 👌
I liked that part too, her spirit was felt like she would not let death be the thing to hold her down. Her spirit felt like birds flying, it just sored to better things. Amen
That last woman, good grief. I can't imagine what her life must've been like. Even though she's smiling, there still is hurt in her eyes. But also hope, strength, resilience and faith. I have a lot of respect for that. AND working 3 jobs @ 52. What a great soul. Keep on living ma'am!
Chorrell Piqué see this is God right here . I was just watching that part and looking for someone to mention that and your comment just popped up within a sec. god bless 🙏🏾
Damn that lady at then end been through so much and hasn't let any of break her spirit. She's an inspiration and a reminder to not let the evil of this world break you. Bad things happen to good people but we gotta trust in God and believe He truly loves us all and that life can be more than just pain and sadness. RIP to her son and daughter and God bless her.
this album helped me turn my life around after being an alcoholic. Listening to his wisdom thru his music, made me stay positive about my life & working on myself & being a positive minded father to my son. thanks J. Cole
If you accept it of not buy god works through his people and Cole will tell you the same. The lord saved you and you have many more rewards to reap. Follow his word, accept him. God bless you man. God is good
Congratulations homie, way to put your family first. I’ll be 9 months sober the 26th of Jan, reason for choosing this path is my family, my father wouldn’t look me in the eyes nor speak to me because he knew I was either drunk at 1pm or slurring my words cus of the opioids I was taking , my mother didn’t want to come to terms with my addiction, in her mind she believed that I was stressed out and going through mental problems. I’m a 30 year old male at a dead end winery job, right now I’m working on my physical ability jogging, push-ups, sit-ups,pull-ups. Reason for that is I plan on registering for CHP (California Highway Patrol) deadline is in April. I made this choice because I need a career not a job, I need a career so that I can take care of my parents, I need a career so that I can give my future unborn children everything I never had. Well sir that’s me, may you and your family have a good and safe 2019. Happy New Year.
Yeah man, I just played this album on vinyl front to back for the first time in 4 years & never knew this doc existed. Definitely puts more perspective onto this project.
Fuckkkkkk man the last lady got me thinking, she seemed so happy and upbeat when I'm sure deep down she's hurting, the world is a cruel place. Hope she's doing good, prayers go out to her and I hope her case goes well 🙏🏽
William Woidat depends which Cal exam. I took BC and it was a joke. Just remember the volumes of rotation formulas. That's the majority of the non-calculator MC and FRQs
What I realised is that after every conversation that J. Cole has with these distressed communities he has a song that touches on the issues that he was discussing with the people. For me that made me go back to the album and actually listen attentively while I allude his lyrics to what i saw in this documentary in a proper sequence. This is genius.
Sometimes I find myself dreaming Hella Big, and honestly I scare the shit out of myself too, on how high am aiming, but watching Cole being who he is, it's like seeing hope and light in my future. Thank you Cole. Honestly thank you man.
All races need to love each other. I'm just a white dude from the Midwest and even I understand these struggles J Cole raps about and even tho I'm not a member of the black community, when I listen to him I feel like I feel the pain he raps about. That's the artistry of J Cole. He can make a stranger to the community understand the struggles simply by speaking. The key to fixing this nation is first understanding what is wrong that needs to be fixed. It takes all of us. Tomorrow, hold the door for an old lady, tell someone they look nice, say hi to your neighbor. Start small. Make someone smile. Love Thy Neighbor. Much love for everyone in the struggle cause we all got our own struggles.
Konich Puller I knew there would be someone like you to comment lol But white people like me? A white guy who appreciates quality music? I know I'm white, I don't act like I'm not. I was just trying to make a positive comment. It's people like you that can't accept positive words from someone just because of someones race that are the problem.
mrvvinston Thanks man. I just tried to leave a positive message and it's too bad someone had to feel obligated to comment negatively just because of someones race, especially on a video from a rapper who is a voice for better race relations and who's MOM is white. Lol
mrvvinston Agreed bro. Positivity will always prevail over negativity. But negativity is just a part of the internet unfortunately and there will always be trolls trying to break the good people.
It's 2021. This film was taken of RU-vid for roughly 2 years. It's a beautiful as the first time I watched it. Just hearing the bass in 4 your eyez only brings me to tears. Thank you for bringing this back.
this film was refreshing, inspiring and ended well, with a ray of hope that some of us still cling to, trusting in Jesus and that we are here for a reason.
David Machell funny enough, apart from straying from the whole point of the J. Cole video, if Jesus was Black, Indian, Chinese or Russian, people would still treat him the same and His mission wouldn't have changed
Ceejay Films/Fanspine Pictures Real talk. It goes to prove we are ALL the same. Race doesn’t dictate who we are as a people and doesn’t change our mission that we came on this planet to take on.
Man people are going through so much more shit then me, makes me ashamed to feel bad about some stuff in my life. Stay strong everyone, you can get through it and become the person you were meant to be.
tyler rogers str8 up bro...you are a real one for not only being honest enough with yourself to admit to your faults. Your honesty is helping others who are still in denial about our selfish mentality as human beings! Thank you J.COLE for this Documentary and Thank you Tyler for commenting!
Aye as much as this is fax bro just beacuse some people through some real tough shit does not make your problems any less of a problem you still going through some shit in your own regard stay up broths
Lady at the end was speaking straight facts. "So many of us are angry, confused and hurting" . Gotta keep your head up, self reflect, strive for better and keep it moving.
Wait, so Drake is getting all this recognition because he made a 4 minute music video giving away a couple week's worth of supplies to people, but Cole out here actually on the ground in poor communities across the country, helping them out, humbly, and he gets no mention for it? That's the fucked up part about the world. Giving away some $1 million is nice short-term, but what does it achieve?
It doesn't honor J-Cole's contribution to belittle someone else's. Because if someone's life was helped in any substantial way by what you say was the less honorable help, you discredit them, and their lives and the help they needed. These artists don't want or need you to demean someone else in order to honor them. In fact, what would honor J-Cole more is if you went out and tried to do your own version of exactly what he's doing. And nowhere in this video does he talk down to Drake, or ANYONE, whether he agrees with them or not. God speed.
U right people hate on anything that great Which is what cole is not just lyrically just as a person theres people i know calling pac, biggie, eminem, nas trash overrated and what the equation here two negatives make a positive the sad truth is anytime your doing something that stand out no matter what profession people add there mix reviews with b s preference based opinions to greats just mean your doing something right
Porcum Means Pig yo gtfo this vid nigga, this shit ain't meant for shallow ass niggas trynna measure the artists dicks. it should be apparent that Cole ain't the nigga who's trynna flex 24/7 no more, he's got a bigger purpose. each artist has a different message, listen to what you feel most but get that busta shit out
J. cole should have be more popular than he is right now. Bicause he is the real rapper. He is not like others who do it only for money, bitches or fame. The world need more rappers like him.
Lived in the ville for 7 years the poverty is very high. A lot of rough areas this documentary definitely took me back. This is nothing short of a masterpiece
I loved how each music video was presented and made.... No Foreign cars... No Fake Women.... No showing off Money... No Beats headphones... No Drugs or liquor... Just Pure Talent and True story's of how J Cole made these songs for his album! ... I'll take quality over quantity any day! Keep doing your thing Cole!
Ezekiel Telemaco thank you. finally someone who finally realizes what j.cole is all bout. i try to explain to ppl all the time, but they just don't reason
Still can't fully understand how people don't like Cole as a person. At times I can understand how some people find his music boring. But, hating on him as a person is pathetic. #Dreamville
I love how their was no clear commentary or structure. He left it up to the viewer to interpret what it means. I think it was beautiful, thought provoking, and showed a real perspective of the black community, not a flawed one portrayed by media and politicians telling us what to believe. Thank you Jermaine.
Met J cole at my store in Kauai, Hawaii. I was working at Footlocker and he stopped in, my boss and I was talking about one of his albums and we seen him saying to each other, "why this dude look like j cole?" And it was him! Natty dreads, sweat pants, Chicago 1s. His body guard was guarding front door, we got to see his ID as he payed with his card. A fan inside the store at the time noticed him, put down the shoe he was trying on, and asked Cole for a pic and cole straight up said "nah I'm not here for that". This was December 23rd 2016 on Kauai
Man J Cole you the goat fr smh the lady at the end made me think and contemplate like look at all the shit she's going through and went through and she's shining with life and hope. I'm a 17 y/o who gets moody and feels down cuz of school drama. This shit really affected me God bless her 🙏🏼
When I listen to the album like this along with this film it made me realize how good of an album it is this really a classic album, Respect to Cole for trying to bring awareness
I've loved J. Cole for the longest time like since I was in 9th grade and I never really understood what he was saying in his songs until I became/or tried to become a true fan, going on RU-vid to listening to his old albums, learning the words to truly understand them and etc. what I've learned that he is so into the community and he actually cares and his songs speak out. I'm a fan, because so many things he say I can relate to them and every time I need some uplifting words I find my self listening to J. Cole until I feel better. I'M SO EXCITED TO GO TO HIS CONCERT IN JULY.......
Ive been listening to his muisc ONLY straight for a week. I've been having a tough time for a few months now and what has gotten me through thus last week has been his muisc. This is the happiest I've felt in a while. He's muisc is uplifting with honesty amd wisdom.
yoshi23805 it's funny because he made him just seem normal that's his son he's regular to him but other people are obsessed with fame and put celebrities on a pedestal and we all just human
I've been watching this every two weeks or so, everytime I'm working on my architectural drawings for uni I keep this on on my screen, half drawing half watching. I almost know every conversation sentence for sentence and still get thrills by some of them. This masterpiece is a crazy source of creativity for me. My favorite sentence is in the beginning when the guy says: "So I just asked u on blast, Who am I?"
I usually don't write comments but this is definitely the right time to do so. So here I am saying that this film doesn't deserve the current amount of views. It's definitely worth of more views. It should be somewhere higher. Thanks Cole for looking at the world this way.
The lady at the end gave me chills and has definitely made me look at life from a different perspective. She went through all that sadness and pain but she still has a smile on her face. WOW!! Amazing woman right there.
Man I know it probably would never happen, but this is the stuff we need in schools so real . Just showing life and real problems. Cole is such an inspiration.
It's crazy how the lady at the end didn't know he was such a famous person or was humbled enough not to treat him different but I bet if she went home that night and told her kids she met a man named Jermaine/J. Cole, they were probably like WHAAAT. lol i love him and I cant wait to go to his concert in Chicago this July. Who else is going to his concert?
That woman at the end is really inspiring and i think after that everyone feels realy stupid about themselves when some of our biggest problems are that are girfriend/boyfriend left us or you have a disagreement with your parents. Its really fascinating how people go through the toughest times and still be some energetic and happy and look foward for tommorow. This documentary's meseage definetaly will live with me forever.
She made me shed a tear. You can literally feel her soul trough her smile. You can see the pain in her eyes when she talked about her son. Shes just beautiful
