Prod. Freddie Joachim. Bump this to the top folks the legend needs his credit

This is a song that could be on adult swim's bumps before commercial breaks...

This has to be one of the smoothest beats of all time

Great instrumental for just kicking it.

joey still has the best waves

One of the greatest hip hop instrumentals of all time imo

Don't know how many Samurai Champloo heads are in here, but doesn't this have a nice Nujabes vibe to it?

Can we do a better job of giving the producer his credit instead of titling the beat after the artist who rapped over it? This is Freddie Joachim's joint before anyone else's. No disrespect to Joey or Cole.

This instrumental helps me day n and day out. Shout out to Joey and Cole for spitting their verses on this beautiful track. One love.

I feel like this beat would be great cruising music late at night through the city with windows down chilling with your friends.

Nice that Joey Bada$$ and J. Cole killed this beat.

Can't imagine I'm hearing this instrumental for the first time, and it's been out here all this time.😭❤

y'all acting like cole hopped on the beat first

Crazy how people didn't know Joey Slayed this beat first! Love how J.Cole put his own twist on the beat and delivered his own message to wish they both would get together for a remix of this or something.

Man, how could people from outside the genre not appreciate this? It's art, just listen.

This gives me a nostalgic feeling? It’s like I’ve definitely heard this instrumental before but I never knew that I knew it… like clicking on this video unlocked a memory.

Sounds like a Nujabes beat. Love it

Joey bada$$ killed this beat, JCole did it justice too.

Step 1:Right click Step 2: Click loop Step 3: Do your homework EZ PZ CAKE

JOEY BADA$$ BROUGHT ME HERE

This whole instrumental always gave off a wavy vibe. Take me back

This will forever be timeless

Joey badass brought me here

Freddie Joachim is one of the greatest producers he made rising, runaway, inher space, I'm finding all his beats and hes something else J dilla status

A truly top 10 beat instrumental of all time, no question!!!

Why can I envision this being on a Boondocks episode during a Huey fight? Such a sick and mellow beat.

one of the greatest beats of all time. makes the soul jam out.

this beat is just that fucking good.

This instrumental takes me places, makes me catch my own waves.

I appreciate this beat to the highest level... Cole and Joey did this beat honors I love hip hop

This beat will never get old 🙌🏾

This instrumental brings me back so much

You're not a true Hip Hop fan if this track doesn't move you...

The vibes are so real and chill! This instrumental is my favorite!

THIS IS SO SMOOTH OH MY GOD WHOEVER PRODUCED THIS DESERVES LIFE

freddie joachim - total master of this whole shabang. props to joey for jumping on this too!

Just realized Freddie produced some of the beats for Joey Badass, that's amazing.

This beat is sooooooo fresh and clean ! It feels so NYC ish , you could travel from Brooklyn 2 Queens with dudes free styling different rhyme patterns

Joey badass waves song is the best you hear the pain nd heart and determination in his voice

Much love Joey!

Too all of y'all freestylin in the comments , y'all got potential but be wise about it. And know that a person won't hesitate to steal your words and use them in a song .

This is so chill

Thank you man, it's much appreciated.

Freddie Joachim is right there with the best of them

who on earth would dislike this?

This beat reminds me a lot of New York. It has so much soul to it. 💯

One of my favorite melodies ❤

This has to be one of the best I've heard

i swear people just can’t appreciate two artists music together. Now it just turns into who did it better and who bodied who on the track. What happened to our respect and appreciation for just all artists music. y’all know who i’m talking about

Anyone still here, this beat still pure heat till 95 and infinty. 🔥

Much Gratitude

You really bringing the bread

I just looked waves instrumental not knowing about this and I found this awesome beat

VERY RELAXİNG

This instrumental can define greatness

Love the description on this video. I am of the Tribe of Gad (North American Indians)! All praises to the most High.

I love the instrumental version. It's just good jazz.

I do prove to have glorified highs and euphoric waves, understate to remain in my forsaken ways. For the sake of a break to take on my poorest days. Caught in a daze for days to have my brain claimed cuz I won't pray.

Props Freddie Joachim & Joey👏

Unforgettable

Scroll for shitty lyrics.

Why are producers always shadowed by the rappers they produce for. Seriously, the producer made the actual music😤

This brings back nothing but memories, I remember when I used to play this a lot in 2017, both Joey Badass' and Cole's versions of this beat.

One of the best beats ever 👌🏻🔥

Currently listing to this while in taking my final

no waves but i represent a different coast/ the one that doesn't get all the shine like most/ we even have our toast/ the heat will prolly leave you toasted/ many have came close to our style but never approached it/ never wrote this/ before so, maybe i should slow shit/ down, use floaties before you step into my ocean/ all my devotion/ goes into looking back and saying that i won/ Crown me Caesar, my reign has only begun../ and retaliation for others be guns/ but no time for violence for what i'm trying to become/ and i do this for Bun/ B (e)cause he knows i'm trying to be the one/ 1+1, i'm 12 times hotter than the sun.../ Now you just experienced a Texas blaze/ now back to listening to the instrumental of waves.../

Great instrumental so smooth 💯

love this one!!

Joey Bada$$ Would Murder This Beat...

Why you guys posting freestyles on youtube? Lmao get a mic and post a vid

I did this justice!! I love this beat man

This is an All Time great beat. #Legendary

I remember skating on a summer day with a joint in my hand now look at hip hop I can't do that listening to lol yachty n shit

I want this played at my fucking funeral

Yahuah bless brotha, thanks for uploading this beat

This instrumental a masterpiece

Our boi mcskillet brought me here

since 8-9, I felt I was standing 8-9 It takes time, my elevation a long climb kick flipping my lyrics, it's been great grind all organic, this coming straight off the grapevine

I broke the replay button. I seriously want this on iTunes

the first bars before bass comes in... so Nujabes

I'm feeling doomed, spend my days watching cartoons, thinking hypothetically what would life be, born in a silver spoon, but what is life without it's lessons, learning new things everyday it's blessing, cus when there's a will there's a way, that's something I learned like way back in the day, skipping class playing pool, little did I know, was surrounded by fools, that provided little support like a stool, my eyes realized life is so cruel, people drool over displaying their image as "cool", being a good friend is a first, but when it's time to step up they skrr like joey's jeep in his verse

This beat gives me chills 🥶

best instrumental hands down

Used to bump this on the way to the gym every time.

using this for my mixtape (2017)

Perfect Spring time sunny weather music .

Another level !

who in god's name would unlike this ?????

Oh look, J Cole fans are here 🙃

*tears of joy*

This instrumental is on deck!

(Verse 1) The deed has been done, I need replying, Repentance, a prize, a penance, See there’s lyrics in need of writing, Excited, my time under the sun and we’re shining, The ambition I envisioned for myself, I find tiring, A fine line of tax brackets, I need to aspire more, See I’ve been in my own world, mind for like a month, two, I’m on one, two, passing jobs like one, two, Then I became talk of the town cause of one, you, Tell the truth, the issue relation, you come through, Like a cut throat, gun smoke, I’ll leave you all astonished, Causing havoc in the hallway, bullets automatic, Fiery bottled bars, can you try to truly catch them, Casting L’s and they’re piling up, I build you castles, I’m a hassle, like a dog without tassels, as if, When I blast, I’ll leave your concerts abandoned, have you banished, You plan to counter, it won’t pan out, stop planning, Don’t you try to attack, you know you can not hack it, Admit it, I’m the quickest at killing and I’m too slick, A duellist, you’re too thick, Aim medulla, you’re stupid, I’ve got two guns with twenty-two clips, And if you’re Swift, I’m Ye, you know I’m problematic, When I pick the pad up, back up, about to be some damage, I heard literature is immortal, is a portal to your brain, Brave men have came in with a big smile, Made it, mold nations, became old, died, A vacant spot for the greatest, of all time, Here's my statement, I wish to shape, this whole world, To make it all mine, Not a king or a conquerer or a sultan, I'm a sword, so my name is, aiming for the star, sky, I've got ambition, I must try, If Icarus burnt then I must climb, My mistakes were the takes I took at the wrong time, A long life makes wise men that recite along lines of, There’s a man of planning and a man of action, But you need to be both to put the man in mansion, There’s a difference between Martin Luther and Charles Mansen, You choose to be the truth or be a hypocrite to fill your own pockets, But trust me on this, History has a glad habit to show who was an icon, And it has a rad tactic to show many who were just like you, A false prophet.

In my head, lately I've been depressed/ gotta get this off my chest and let go of the stress/ i’m obsessed, she keeps it fresh, look at her fashion/ I ration, your compassion, your so attractive/ but you ripped my heart out, and broke it down to fragments/ we glued it back together and now we’re just chillin Laughing/ about me not stacking, saving enough cabbage/ make it everlasting, man its so tragic/ I want to go away, find a better place/ in the outer space, to repopulate/ bring the herbs of grace, and we'll see what awaits/ we have to embrace, nothings what we chase/ one day, we’ll meet our faaate/ I'll meet the greats, at the purely gates/ when i fade, i got it made/ i’m not afraid, of what the afterlife portrays/ life’s a wave, we just floatin on our way/

ah this is crazy chill!! you did ur numbers on this one!!!

Songs like this make me wanna chill n smoke some but today's rap just kills the vibe man

Jcole been here few days ago

j cole fans here ? :)

feels so relaxed.

this beat is life
