YBN Cordae "Old N*ggas" (J. Cole "1985" Response) (WSHH Exclusive - Official Music Video) 

Cole should've sat down and had a conversation with this dude, not Lil Pump.

"Cordae please stop movin around I'm tryna give you a haircut."

I'm a 90's dude ,,,,,,,,,This Young blood standing up for the entire new school, RESPECT! ,,Not a diss song just a lets chop it up together type joint

Y'all thinking it's an actual diss, but it's a respectful, mature response to 1985. And Cordae killed it. He said exactly what the new generation of hip hop/ hip hop fans were thinking. But he also came in with an understanding of the old heads too. He killed this, very dope response

Jcole: now that’s more like it

"Old ni**as unreliable like D Rose knees" 💀💀💀

Why people calling this trash? its like they didn’t even listen. Why old heads be acting so childish.

The fact this was made 3 years ago proves we getting old

This isn't a diss...if you really listen he ain't go for Cole once he simply responding to what he said...it's like they having a conversation 🤷🏽‍♂️...if anything it's a D rose diss

The funny thing is Cordae would be a better fit in Dreamville than YBN

“Old niggas time Is coming, TikTok “ is a wild ass bar for 4 years ago

I know I'm 4 years late, but you are never too late to point out how well he played this out. These are two generations sitting and talking in their prime language. As a 14 year old who likes to freestyle my elders and friends, I don't get taken serious. No matter how you put it we are still rapping, spitting bars, and talking about whatever we are trying to talk about.

He prolly pissed his barber off moving so much 😂😂

You already know Cole loved this. And it's a response, not a diss

cordae is criminally underrated bro

he really just said "ok boomer"

He defends mumble rap by doing a lyrical rap

I’m 46 years old and I gotta give it up for this young brother had me nodding my head….luv the lyrical ability you have , keep doing yo thing young king 👑!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This is like watching a debate between two competent politicians

He was the only rapper who defended his gerneration

i love coming back to watch both of them back to back. i understand it slightly more every time.

"Only man I can trust is G.O.D., not to mention Mos Def and Talib Kweli" !!! WOOOOO GOOO MY MAN

Still waiting for D Rose’s response

This is what J Cole wants. No gimmicks, no bull. Just Talent Vs. Talent.

"Ironically I wrote this whole song off a xan, naw im playin"

As someone passionate about mentoring young black men I take this as Cordae speaking directly to me. Thank you Cordae for the conversation and challenge to be as effective as a mentor to young black men in my community as possible

That D Rose line was sooooooo dirty. lmfao

Me in 2018: wtf he’s in a barber shop? Me in 2020: how tf he in a barber shop?

Cordae: Rapping The barber: If he don't let me finish.

That’s a instant classic with so much class ... that’ was amazing

J Cole wasnt talkin bout this dude. This guy can actually rap lolol.

Why he gotta do d rose knees like that

I remember hearing this song for the first time 2 years ago and not even realizing it was a diss or anything specific. Finding out about 1985 and that this is a response just makes it so much better with the story behind it 💯

this song ages like fine wine

Dont tell me J Cole is considered an old head now

Why he do D Rose like that lmao

I know I'm super late. But glad I saw this. Best response that could have been given. Straight 🔥🔥🔥 I'm going back to finish peeping Cordae catalog

I'm 43...and I feel the same way you do on my momma RIP. Keep doing you thang👑☝🏿🎯🔥🔥🔥

Only ybn member that was respected

Why you do my boi D-Rose Knees like that? lol

2:05 if only he said “calm down” instead of “sit down”

“Please don’t complain without a plan.” That’s the hardest response on wax.

I’m a Cole fan but... I respect this response and the fact that it’s not a diss.. he listened to 1985 and responded... 🤷🏽‍♀️

Damn why he did D Rose dirty 😭😭😭

I remember hear this for the first time in 2017. He’s at the top of the game in 2022. Crazy

This ain’t a diss, this a conversation with Cole honestly

YBN is smart to put someone like Cordae in their group

Who didn't expect him to rap like this when you see ybn in his name

Lol Derrick rose out here catching strays

(LYRICS) 🤝🏽 [Intro] Damn, Mizzy Mauri got beats [Verse] Uh, old niggas and new niggas, now what's the difference? All in the same boat in a stuck position So when an old nigga talkin' I don't fuckin' listen They don't know, every day we make tough decisions It seems though we is at a generational gap Which bring conversation and a statement in fact We can agree, none of us is 'posed to make it in rap I understand both sides, let me break it in half Let's take it back: when hip hop originated And old niggas said it was wack, they couldn't take it And called it a lil' trend, said it wouldn't last Now, it's the number one genre as the time passed Young niggas won't listen and we know it, ha But old niggas always talk and never show it, uh You gotta practice what you preach and the classes that you teach We'll eventually listen, my mind mentally prison, uh Lately, all my idols, they been failin' me Catchin' sexual assaults and some felonies Then, you want me to listen what you tellin' me And wanna hate when we sing our lil' melodies And other idols, they be broke, get your funds in order And Kanye West is a Trump supporter Then, we got R. Kelly and Bill Cosby Who still probably got lil' girls in the Hills lobby And these supposed to be our heroes? Negro, please Old niggas unreliable like D-Rose knees Only man I can trust is G-O-D Not to mention Mos Def and Talib Kweli Now I get it, y'all think new niggas really suck And white kids fuckin' love it, lil' silly ducks But I know it's a lot of bullshit goin' on I understand, but please, don't complain without a plan Ironically I wrote this whole song off a xan, nah I'm playin' I'm just tryna be a fuckin' man We see you old niggas as a lot of clowns Not to mention, our father figures was not around So we all on tours and we hoppin' towns We just need to sit down and find common ground And it's soon to come, soon to come Hip-hop need balance like the moon and sun It feel good when I wear Christian Louboutins So I gotta drop music to accrue some funds And I get it, that's the mindset that's killin' the rhyme-fest But feedin' our families, lowering the crime, yet You want us to be separate and make a contest Rappin' to stay up out the streets, shouldn't mind that Stayin' out of prison and we sayin' fuck the system, man Rappin' is an outlet to go and get our dividends Rather than out robbin' niggas, sellin' Ritalin Old niggas bitter, y'all should love it when a nigga win 'Cause we came from the same struggle Like Diddy and Dame Russell Was teachin' and gained hustle, got rich, remained subtle See, I listen, see, I listen But Lil Dae-Dae water-whippin' in the kitchen Ready to flip a pack and bring it back, no submission Gotta just go attack Lil Pump when you're dissin' I understand both sides of the Ziploc Y'all old niggas' time is comin', nigga, tick-tock I'ma still wear all my Gucci flip-flops And the fuckin' diamond chain with the big rocks And I'll be the greatest ever, nigga, just watch Cardi B got rich from Love & Hip Hop, haha

Cole will be proud.

Looks like YBN found they new face 😂

This is why I became a fan of cordae’s, he spitting bars defending his homies while also being respectful to the older heads

I was expecting this to be horrible but he makes just as much of a point as j cole did.

he speaking truth (my name ironic tho) 😂

Outta all the new generational niggas he actually got bars he can rap

Young blood speaking to how old heads got so much advice to give young folks, but don't be living what they preach. Sad, but true. Gotta live better or stfu.

Bet the barber was like stop moving your damn head

I respect it he can actual rap diss or not its lyrically good.

Talented is an understatement, this kid gonna go far 💯

The fact that he topped Cole on this beat is crazy. This is the song that made me listen to him

I reckon J. Cole would love this and not hate on it

"unreliable like D rose knees" damm 🔥🔥😂😂

This is just pure fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Cole. Lil homie snapped. Much respect. Lyrical masterpiece. Good shit. You got a fan in me

This man's flows, schemes and wordplay are pretty nice.

"Unreliable like d rose knees" thats tuff

talent and class

This proves that these youngsters can do it so let's do it!

YBN and J Cole should collab on a song to compare and contrast this generation of music.

2k19 XXL freshman. i already see it

Ybn cordae just earned my respect, ima go peep this foos music

He protecc He attaccc Most of all he sit bacc

Buddy for sure had more hours on GTA than the rest of the YBN crew

I Thought This Was -Finna- *ABOUT TO* Be Ignorant. (Since Y'all Niggas Wanna Start Irrelevant Arguments About My *VERNACULAR* 💀.)

Stupid that they got rid of this on Apple Music

Do not complain without a plan. This boy spoke the truth.

this was actually better then i expected.

YBN cordae is the only rapper that protected this generation of rap with facts

I knew this would be a timeless classic

This Iconic!

As a Bulls fan, that line hit hard lol 1:34

Props to both Cordae and Cole for having mature raps that actually discuss these topics with respect.

YOOO, Honestly I never rlly liked the new new generation rap/hip-hop, but these lyrics got my ears percolated - yano filtering through the surface and understanding a young person and seeing some meaning. need more assertion like this. spark new thoughts. Love what u did here

This is so fire 🔥🖤🙏

this was the most complex way of saying "ok boomer" edit: i know cole is a millennial, I know he is only 30-something. This comment is a fucking joke. fuck.

"Cardi B got rich from Love & Hip-Hop." *Good shit kid. Great job.*

Cordae is too underrated

Dam 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Why he had to do D Rose like that tho lol

80s baby here bopping my head to this

Wasn't expecting this. Good response

This conversation could only go down in a barber shop fr
