Shout out to rappers who actually perform, I hate when rappers perform with that back tracking stuff and j Cole doesn’t do that
I’m so mad I didn’t get to the nyc shows, I heard so much great things about it
Thank you, Rob 🙏🥰❤
The Let Out is amazing. J Cole is the best rapper 🙏😍❤️
J Cole I do feel that you are from here too, NYC ❤ you too, J Cole 🙏😍❤️
First concert I went to was Cole when I was a freshman in college. FHD tour. I thought every rapper had no backtrack.
If it’s one thing Cole proved time and time again, is that the internet never is a real place . He did it with sideline story going Gold first week , he did it again again with born sinner selling almost 300k and eclipsed Kanye in week 2 , he did it at FHD dropping a surprise album and still moved units . What Cole did sales wise with the fall off is do what Cole do. No matter what people say , somehow someway he out dos the expectations
Ay Happy Belatedddd, Quincy! 🎉 didn’t realize it was you haha. OG Cole Fam fr. Hope you had a blast @aquincyjones11
Lol I've realised this a long time ago. I've stopped listening to internet talking heads. Cole is a goat in this rap game. Fans gonna show up for him.
I had a blast in Boston. The cole fanbase is just fun, safe and a vibe. His fan connection really made it one of the best concerts iv been to in a while
I don’t take what the internet be saying as real. I expected this love at the show
The show was amazinggggg
They call it the Big 3 for a reason. They all are elite and give us something different. Appreciate Dot, Drake, and Cole in this Hip Hop ecosystem.
Your title isn’t accurate…You’re just running on fumes from the concert. Hahaha😂😂😂.
He doesn’t have the same juice bc nobody really believes him anymore… Cole doesn’t even believe Cole. Him and Drake aren’t cool or believable anymore… Cole is still talented but don’t have the aura anymore….drake doesn’t for sure but Cole just did too much talking with the interviews and then you realized he’s a cornball, always trying to play both sides of the fence. Cole won’t be the same, fake relatability and trying to hard to be relevant in his interviews smh
I saw the Philly show and fulfilled my goal of seeing him live since a kid🙏🏼
I went to this same show. It was amazing. I think this was my 6th time seeing Cole and this was definitely his best.
I agree 100 percent about The Let Out, I had it different in my head also. But I still love that song.
I really hope in the future he does a B side concert/show tour. Let’s see.
Cole and Kendrick are the two biggest pure rap artists of their generation
What is the exact recording of the its so hard to say goodbye song? Man it was so good
My 🐐 is different 😤 this was dope, Rob! Can’t wait for the Dallas showwww omg
I’m Going solo to the Dallas show as a birthday present to myself
That’s bc he marketed this album as his last and thus people thought the same about this tour..if it wasn’t for that I wonder if it would have sold out as much.
We booed him at the first show too. I didn’t see the footage before but I genuinely booed him 🤣🤣🤣 cuz it was such a good vibe and didn’t want it to end
I still have the “Love Yours” speech in my phone from the KOD tour. 🥹
Another thing I liked seeing at this concert was seeing so many father son groups. Which showed how much he crossed generations. I was like damn he meant enough to the Dads for them to have their sons listen and now their sons are fans.
Did this with no features!! Nobody came out during his set!
Also dapping up the crowd while walking to the stage without missing a beat or running out of air was one of the most impressive things I’ve seen.
I’ve been to 2 Cole shows. This one first night at Barclays and KOD tour and Madison Square Garden. Anytime I bring up concert experiences I talk about seeing him at the garden. His fans were so loud my ears hurt (no exaggeration) They were singing songs from mixtapes word for word not some bit damn near all. I literally went to this show to be amongst the fans and Rob you’re right the internet is not a real place.
Facts I went to msg for night 4 it was amazing! I might go see bro again in another city
Planez
This is all facts…went to the FYEO and KOD tours…and both are among the best concerts I've ever experienced…period
Truth! Y'all listen to anything long as it's music 😂😂😂😂
4:03 I know the topic is beat to death, but lady turning her back to Cole to record a selfie video instead of cement the memory in her mind with her eyes is dystopian.
The show exceeded every expectation
The thing is Cole fans really genuinely love the music and he is who says he is in the music. He embodies what it means to to be human, you can’t please anyone and he’s so comfortable in his soul that he embodies that he doesn’t care what people think as long as he’s being true to himself
Your idea about the Let Out being the last song woulda been Hella dope. Great idea, Mark.
I was thinking the same thing bout the let out too
For him to just performed for over 2 hours straight no pause no back up singers no features no guests appearances just straight classics while bars after bars is legendary for me to see this live was the best show I ever been
I’m glad I had a chance to see that show live at the Barclays when I said I had chills
TFO is still my rap AOTY. Rashad and Kenny Mason album are close.
I went to the Baltimore show and The Let Out was such a magical moment. It definitely makes the song much more of an experience live.
