North Carolina, stand up! And if y’all are wise, you better run towards the river because Jermaine Cole is hellbent on burning your city to a crisp and not just with the fiery flow either. His first single to his currently-untitled-debut album features more flame than ATL with pyro literally illuminating the streets of Fayetteville.
2K10 Hot Boy. A star was born and it crashed landed into the earth’s orbit, disintegrating the grassy knolls. If you’re in the mood to watch more J. Cole footage, be sure to check out his 3:16 x Yours Truly Feature and buy “Who Dat” on iTunes.

I Apreciate Cole’s Loyalty To BB Gun But He Shoulda Went Outside The Fam On This One. This Is His Introduction To The Mainstream Yet It Looks Like “Simba” With A Bigger Budget That Was Mostly Spent On Pyro. Sidenote.. Cole Mane You Gotta Do Something About Those Hand Movements Bruh. The Shit’s Distracting! LOL!
Seeing J. Cole succeed makes me proud to be from NC. He is the best talent out of NC since 9th wonder. When I heard Who dat play on the radio station that plays nothing but the top hits, I was like yes!!!!
That’s a very engaging video and an even better song…
He always energetic in his damn videos, lol.
yeah that’s pretty much the motto every NC artist yells. “NC Stand Up” Im tellin you there’s a lot more talent like this in this state.
@Pyth your right that shit looks exactly like simba. lol
yeah that was like the Simba video but explosions make everything better haha. J Cole set of horns and a halo. Good to see some talent on the come up
Ain’t mad at that.
if were talking about NC, you cant leave out the best rapper ever from the state, Phonte, and its not even close
I didn’t even know this was a single lol, I thougth this was just some random track he decided to leak a while back, what do you know. The version i have doesn’t have the crowd/posse effect of WHO DAT WHO DAT?, I think it sounds better without it, but whatever, dope

I Know right LOL….
Love the song and the video!!!! Plus he’s been a humble cat every time our paths crossed!!! Our whole camp is rooting for him to win!!!!
^ well would you look at that shit.
It’s cool.
Too be honest I’ve heard of this cat but before today on BET I’ve never heard him. The visuals of the video were decent but dude hand gestures overshadowed his rappin. The dude vocals was kinda drowned out by the beat and the hands. So as a dude who never heard of this cat, I can’t say that I get the appeal of dude. It did appear this cat was speaking in complete sentences so thats a plus. lol
yeah its the same as the simba video… but now its not just gunna be people who are already fans seeing it. plus why fuck with a good thing? maybe we’ll see him walking in a different place for every video lol

==============================
Simba 2.0
But I like it.
I thought it was me who thought he was over-exaggerating with the hand movements.
Shit, my major video debut, I wouldn’t be able to contain myself from spazzing either…
To me his hand movements match his delivery. I’d rather him be extra hyped and animated than try to be too cool for his own song. It’s refreshing to see an artist who’s excited about his music…
I liked the video.
But, Is it just me, or was that opening scence like an ode to Wale? Kid in front of the tv’s/Wale’s cover?
1st, Fayettenam stand the fuck up! North Kakalak is in the building!!!!
Also, is that EE Smith’s band? That’s repping hard if it is…
NICE….is it just me or does any1 els thnk j. cole could body jay like hes been bodyn evrybody els..? i mean he did his best lupe impression(ala touch the sky) on tht star is born n damn near got jay thn but jay was more on a topic thn he was…plus he had 3 verses 2 coles 1…just puttn tht out ther.
