I guarantee you, Pac is smiling down on this brother appreciating him for keeping reality rap alive

J cole you're saving my generation 🙏🏻

Anyone 2024?

2020 & I’m just hearing this... I feel like a terrible Cole fan 🤦🏾‍♂️

This is why J Cole is the goat

2019 and I still ride on this.

This is music not that mumble rap, lyrics, bars not just a good beat. Cole is the truth

Menace was such a huge part of my youth ...that and Boyz in the hood...

2024 where are we 🎉

I’m not from the hood and wasn’t raised in this environment But I have great appreciation for this music AND for the strength that these people have. I feel the pain in my soul. I have nothing but respect for those growing up & coming out the hood because they WORKED with the cards they were dealt. That takes a tremendous amount of strength, physically & mentally. I did happen to grow up and go to school with people who did live this way and I got nothing but love & respect for them.

Best line ever : " You know story, you know my allegory, I was send from heaven with pair of horns"..J cole killed it.

"Lord have mercy on my soul, what I've done and what I've seen, my life has tumbled into that which only you can intervene." Tell me about it 🙏🏾 Help me Father 💔

Cole story telling is so great that it makes you believe that the movie is based on his story/lyric.

I can't tell you how many times this man has saved my life with his music.

"Lord knows I never pray. But sometimes I wish I could levitate." 🤲🏿 Rahimaullah

Menace 2 society is one of the saddest movies ever

that shit touch my heart I can relate to losing my homies that I try to tell them to go straight i miss them everyday thanks j.cole

156 people just passed to dislike the song cause they can't evaluate the lyrics this man is spitting SOMEREALSHIT is all about the beat unlike the other who appreciate lyrics.

I love this song he got it on point

we the forgotten souls, bottom of the totem poles... They say life id what you make it but im just trine make it straight up! shit hit my heart

One of those songs that got me through the darkest times of my life 🙏🏾🙏🏾.

i like what j cole is doin,im loving these joints he puttin out im feeling like 1995, dat fly dope era my nigga

These are the type of songs in Cole's catalog that makes him the GOAT. He makes soul food.

Love, Love, Love J. Cole !!! Sometimes it's challenging to listen to his music (Especially Working Out) I always seem to break down and cry. The "Truth" has that effect on a nicca, Ya Digg !!!

End of 2020, still bumping Cole 💯💯 these videos really match and help you picture the mood coles expressing

True hip hop - It's not only rap " it's Book catalog" this type of music made Bob Marley live forever ..

Some of the greatest rap lyrics ever written

J.cole i wish you knew how much i love your work. Best artist of all time for me.

Man I watched all your j cole music videos and the fact that the movies you use is so captivating it captures the lyrics of the song so well… thank you for these gems I always make time to comeback to these.

Pac is proud

My favorite song by Cole, been jamming since last year

Undoubtedly one of the most underrated and beautiful songs Cole’s ever made

After all that Caine and O-Dog went through they deserved a sequel

imma come back here in 10 years

I miss music like this. Real struggle and music that makes you feel like you won’t stay down forever if that makes sense. This music is motivating and makes me feel that hunger to be great

Brings tears to my soul man.

i remember when i was working my life doing security job for 53 dollars a month work from 7am to 7pm depression was killing me this song was and is still all i had

Thanks for watching!! Need a visual putting together to one of your tracks?? email reel.gogetters@gmail.com

Damn this is why J.Cole is this generation greatest and most overlooked artist

Menace to society was my life. Growing up with them forties and blunts homies and dreams where we stayed alive free and young forever... Take me back for one more day.

Big up mi general J.Cole with these grown man bars no mumble rap!!!!

This song make me humble af 🙏🏼

2021 still listening to this. Who else is listening to this 2021?

Back at it again!

Damn I never heard this gem.. Cole is a good poet, like Pac was. It's great to see someone carrying the torch.

This song is the truth, and the video is dope too. Mixed really well with a classic flick, true art that touches my soul.

this song always has me in tear.

Most slept on song💯

I really respect this young cats "skills",& he knows how to make good *songs*!

10 years later, I still listen and learn

How am I missing this my all time fav movie and j Cole did thissss

I always find myself coming back to this song it speaks volumes 💯

The world we live in 💔. Who else felt like crying watching this?

I'm glad this song is out and the way the video is, it should really open people eyes. sure your in the hood and your life sucks but people should teach there kids to get out that life live better you don't have to be there and think and do what the typical hood person does.

J Cole if you ever read this i'd like you to know that i like you as an artist but i've grown to respect you as a man. You're a blessing:)

j cole I know growing up in the ville you seen and heard alot glad to see you know the truth and thing about it you put a face to the track maybe some will understand what you tryn to say but a real street nigga know what you saying man keep bringing the truth to the people cause right now you the only one who can much love and respect

I didn't know j Cole was this deep °.°

Damn I've never listened to real shyt like this...hella dope story👌🏾

Thank you J cole for your music 💜

Dud I love this too much! Idk how many countless times I've watched this.

To this day, I listen to this song and get goosebumps! Cole the truth and he speaks from the soul!

menace to society my movie for life. grew up off that movie.

Classic movie. #jcole 90s baby

2019 this touched my soul

that hit me hard...

Carolina thoroughbred myself. 25 yr old trucker & just drove through Fayetteville the other day! keep doing your thing man...visuals really sync with Cole's message my dude!!

j. cole is the fuckin man... only rapper of my generation that makes music thats relevant to my life and makes me feel childhood all over again.. but in the best way possible.

this song just hits in the heart

I have no idea what he means by the title reference of Old Dirty Bastard. Anyway True Story. 23rd street NYC Flat Iron building block from there, to 6th Ave where the Barnes and Noble is located, me and my classmate Kurt was walking and he spotted OBB in a old style Mercedes Benz at the stoplight- a big dude with dreads was driving with a Latina or (Italian) looking Chick in car with ODB in car- year 1995. Kurt yelled out ODB! ODB jumped out car came over to us and said thanks for the support peace Gods. ran back to the car. Crazy... But I never forgot that gesture. Mad SUPANOVA

i see a lot of ppl on here asking what movie is that, its a damn shame niggaz dont know there hip hop history from music to movies such as menace 2 society, new jack city, bout it bout it, set it off, hip hop has been lop sided 4 many years now

left me so touched...

Praying and speaking out that the violence ends in our neighbors ☝🏾🙏🏾

now this is life...the only reason i enjoy youtube.

"Take care of my son !!! Teach him the way we grew up was bullshit. "

He is *definitely* a "savior" to THIS generation of hip hop fans born between 1984-2001...

This is music ...bars upon bars, His the Truth !!!

Flawless video editing 👍

Will..... You got to be young as hell to ask that.... That movie is a classic menace to society.... J cole tooooo real..

WOW...playing this song on repeat

now this some real shot I can play all day on repeat

As long as Jermaine is alive , there's still hope

Tupac still alive he just go by J Cole now

tha truth frfr .. can listen ta dis all day .

j cole I know growing up in the ville you seen and heard alot glad to see you know the truth and thing about it you put a face to the track maybe some will understand what you tryn to say but a real street nigga know what you saying man keep bringing the truth to the people cause right now you the only one who can

Anyone on a old Cole binge?

"Menace to society" great movie and great title. Thought about it much deeper as a became a grown black man

man I really respect your artistry the way you use the old school black movie clips to create a a video to contrast with the message in the movies and in j Coles music. your reinvention of the music and the movie clips is an original concept man. I look forward to seeing you grow into bigger and better things man

One of the best edits I have ever seen this is dope af. I think im on my thousandth view.

it's a Cole world.

I'm 16, I watched this movie when I was way younger I didn't understand the message it was trying to bring across but now looking back at it this is a very sad story and a very f***ked reality. I love ur music Cole and just love the way u shine light on stuff like like this. Real music

This touched my soul

I don’t see an artist greater in my generation .

They will say it was drugs 😢 they got my man’s

COLE WORLD 910 Fayettnam stand up. Cole the Hottest N1gga in the game right now hands down

This song still hits

been watching this video nonstop since 2019

Damn This Shit Touched a Niggas Heart 💯 Rip 2 The Fallen Soldiers & Shoutout My Niggas In The Struggle . Chin Up 💯

Bro when NAS called out Sideline Story for being too commercial, that was the best thing that ever happened for J Cole. Next album he came back like Damn I let Nas down. The Album after that , Forest Hill Drive 😳 J Cole took Nas criticism to heart , and it inspired him to evolve into something different. Cole has elevated himself into the conversation of artists who stand the tests of time. Dude enhanced his brain on a Philosophers level , then took his pen skills and paired it with his advanced insight and story telling abilities.. And he just dropped Gem after Gem. I swear Cole a legend in his own right now.

Bro, I'm from the Chi. You touching my soul with these videos of yours fam

Still listening to this in 2020💯🥶
