J. Cole - The Last Stretch (Freestyle)
Artist: J. Cole
Producer: Rob Holladay
Album: Unreleased
Label: Roc Nation/Columbia
Last year around this time, N. Carolina emcee J. Cole jolted the hip-hop community with his electrifying mixtape The Warm Up. Today, he is one of the most anticipated rap acts in the country, a RocNation signee with a reputation for outstanding lyrics. As a token of his appreciation for his fans’ support, Cole has delivered a thank you in the form of a freestyle over Dirty Money’s Angels instrumental. Produced by hit-maker Rob Holladay, this beat has been a favorite amongst emcees, but I think Cole has given us one of the best renditions yet (though Lupe’s version might go a little harder). I usually would go on about how he could have done XY and Z to make this better, but J. Cole’s flow and delivery are so well-timed and flawless on this one that the freestyle speaks for itself with lines like: “My Way like a Usher song/higher power where these verses from/you ni**as hos, put your purses on/Church, get your worship on/ born alone, work alone, die alone/ hot fire like Dylan/ bitches get they dial on/ fake niggas get dial tones.” Enough said.
This song first appeared on the
Rap Chart
on June 28, 2010

On a day where both J.Cole and K.Sparks drop freestyles, I think J.Cole proves why he was mentioned as a the leader of the new school.

J. Cole, Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalifa, Drake, XV, Wale...Futures of Hip-Hop J. Cole I think has absolutely the most to offer, we got something special here and this just shows us why.

Hmmmm....I'll have to agree with Quentin and give best Angels freestyle to Lupe, but that's no knock on Cole. This is a better track than nearly every other rapper who dares to even breath a mic. Jay's a wise man - Cole sounds like a future franchise player.

I saw J Cole last night and he killed it. This proves that The Roc knew what it was doing when they signed him.

i still love this beat even after all the freestyles. i think this is even better than lupe's (which in its own right was very good). as everybody already has said the lyrical content of this track is just amazing and the delivery just as good. so talented this man is

It was just okay. J. Cole I've noticed in every song I've listened to it seems like everything is forced. His flow really doesn't....flow.
He's an okay emcee, but I'm not riding the hype. |

Future of hip-hop. Leader of the new school. Rising Roc Franshise Player. Incredible... When he drops it will be a classic. Unlike Drake, who @*#$! up his opportunity of a debut classic. What a shame.
As dope as this is, Lupe spit one of the most intricate verses of all time on his freestyle. I don't think he can be outshone, but J. Cole came as close as possible. |

Actually.. I think I'll have to give this one to J Cole over Lupe.. although, both are insanely hot. Freshmen of the year? Freshmen of the decade? We'll see. Nothing but impressed so far with J. Cole.
