Ye influenced a whole generation; Cudi, Drake, Cole, Wale, Big Sean etc. Cole did the speech at the end of the song like Ye did at the end of Last Call.
I feel what J said about not making the team. That feeling sucks. That's why I love J Cole, he's so relatable that I feel like I'm living through him while listening to his music
Moment of silence for the people's who didn't witness this era up close & personal.....Sad to say it but we'll never get this j cole again ever , thank god I witnessed the best of him already his vintage flow is undeniably timeless and CZcams is the closest thing we have to a time machine be grateful 💯🙏🏿
bruh i still remember jamminnn this mixtape in middle school, 30 years old now, work in sales, and stilllll come back to this masterpiece for motivation. Mannnnnn this take me back to my glory days, forever a classic
Man 12 years later and this is still a master piece. The warm up and Friday night lights remind me so much of my highschool days bumping these tracks everyday. Havnt came back to these classics in about 3 years. That like where cole says, “wonder if the people know how many nights I spent alone? making beats writing rhymes, thinking deep, fighting time , was getting better but wasn’t getting younger, all that time can make the most confident nigga wonder. That is some of the most realest shit you will ever hear.
All 3 versions are dope. Logic didn't let them down. Yes and Logic shouted out how great No ID is. Would've been cake if Cole meantioned him too. No IDis hella underrated
This beat was made by evidence. He gave it to kanye to pass to jay when the black album was being made. Kanye kept it and then added some drums and symbols and put it on college drop out
bro i would have loved cole on a modern ye album like tlop, ye, ksg even donda, sucks that’ll never happen cause of ye’s beef with cole and just the fact that he’s completely finished, honestly my favourite jcole song 🎉
To the people saying "who came here from YSIV!!" are really missing out on Kanye's Last Call. (Kanye's was from 2004, the original Last Call and in my opinion is better than Cole's and Logic, but no disrespect.)

Yeah man so shit, this was The Warm Up Um, what can I say, what can I say? If you heard The Come Up that was about just a lil nigga from North Carolina man Fayettnam to be exact Moved to NYC, chasing the dream I used college, if y'all niggas don't know, I used college as a tool to get to New York I ain't have no family up here or nothing like that, I came up here on a scholarship, nigga went to college And the whole time I ain't even think I would have to finish college, I just thought I'd be signed by my freshman year so I wouldn't have to finish college But it didn't happen like that obviously, a nigga graduated and things started falling into place I got more focused, I dropped The Come Up And I look at The Come Up like, how kinda like how I was in high school Just picture this, The Warm Up is about a nigga who did not make the team when he tried out and I know it's a lotta niggas who know that feeling man You try out, you think you deserve to be one the team and you go that day to look at the cut-list You wake up and you can't even sleep, you're like, "Damn I'm gon' make the team, I did my thing at tryouts."

I'm better than him, I'm better than him, I'm better than him." So a lotta niggas either quit or some niggas go harder and so that's kinda how I took the rap shit when I put out The Come Up Cause ever since I was 15 I thought I was supposed to be signed But you know, shit, everything happens for a reason So shit fast forward to The Warm Up, this just me, like you know, me being that nigga that's practicing and making sure it's no way, it's undeniable that when I go to tryouts, there's no fucking way the coach is passing up on me, my nigga So that's what this whole mixtape was about and lo and behold, you know As I'm finishing the mixtape, the deal comes Thank God, I'm blessed.

And it couldn't have been with a more fucking, with a better fucking squad You know the niggas I got on the squad if you listen to this then you might have heard who I signed with, I ain't even gon' blast it off like that Shoutouts to, you know, Mark Pitts, definitely Shoutout to my nigga Mike Rooney, my nigga E, shoutout to my whole fucking crew, man That's The Warm Up is about man RG what's good, Mike Shaw, my nigga Mez, Mez held me down, nigga More than anybody in the whole fucking, in the whole crew, honestly So shit, let's get it, man We got a lotta shit for '09, '010, '011, '0 goddamn 35 That's all I got man, that's The Warm Up I made the team So when you go from making the team, now what you gotta do nigga, you gotta start You gotta be a starter, you gotta make it to college You gotta make it from college to the league, nigga Trust me, I ain't get no deal and fucking relax man I feel like I ain't made it yet period nigga And that's all I really gotta say yo, it's The Warm Up Thank you for listening man Yeah

James Monroe If that was the case we would hate Eminem too. Logics music is unoriginal and fake deep people don’t like cause it’s not good.
Kanye is a genius, influenced so many rappers
he's also a genius for supporting President Donald Trump

Ye influenced a whole generation; Cudi, Drake, Cole, Wale, Big Sean etc. Cole did the speech at the end of the song like Ye did at the end of Last Call.

More glory days ahead is what u should say
Man 12 years later and this is still a master piece. The warm up and Friday night lights remind me so much of my highschool days bumping these tracks everyday. Havnt came back to these classics in about 3 years.
That like where cole says,
“wonder if the people know how many nights I spent alone? making beats writing rhymes, thinking deep, fighting time , was getting better but wasn’t getting younger, all that time can make the most confident nigga wonder.
That is some of the most realest shit you will ever hear.
This a classic now remember hearing this in middle school now I'm in college
i first heard this with my brother when i was in 1st grade. i’m a senior now 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I never went back to a mixtape as much as I go back to this classic.
Me too 😂

Yea, warm up!
La-la-la-laaaa, la lala la lalaaaa
[Verse 1:]
Yea, ay yea Fayettenam
Now I am, hey and they ask and they ask and they ask and I tell them, it's the Fayettenam hey
Hey and your glasses and your glasses and your glasses
To the sky is, yea this is the last call for alcohol
This is the Warm Up
Yea, look now to the few niggas out there who heard my last shit
Which if I must say so myself that was a classic
I never been the type to ride my own coat tail
But it's obvious I'm here to stay, a fucking hotel
I came up, I warmed up!
The next up, I blow up!
If you ain't peep the trend by now with each rap I go up
Look all he wanted was a deal so when he got it he just faded
But tell me what's a deal when you want to be the greatest?
So Jay I appreciate it, hell of a stepping stone
Wonder if he see it in my eyes I'm trying to get the throne
Wonder if the people know how many nights I spent alone
Making beats writing rhymes, thinking deep fighting time
I'm getting better but wasn't getting younger
And all that time can make the most confident nigga wonder
But never doubt it or allowed that shit to phase me yo
Just switch my thoughts up like the stations on the radio nigga now I am
[Chorus:]
Now I am, hey and they ask and they ask and they ask and I tell them, it's the Fayettenam hey
Hey and your glasses and your glasses and your glasses
This is the last call for alcohol
This is the warm up!
So get cha back up off the wall
[Verse 2:]
Yea, now may I never slip up or let my grip up
I know my girl be praying Lord just keep his pants zipped up! -
Now if some groupie bitch is on his dick then make it's stiff up,
at least give the nigga commonsense to wrap his dick up
Toast the spliff up, our glasses then sip up,
We fly past they look up
They don't last we give up
They don't blast we clip up then empty
And indeed we hit the target yea these niggas think they the shit and they ain't even farted yet
Style incomplete like a garbage ass quarterback
My office is forreal ah fuck sack, niggas getting coffin in the Ville
Way too often and it feels wrong
New York Niggas fuck with me I got em singing Ville songs
I guess it's only right cause we grew up singing they shit
Big shit, Mase shit, Nas shit, Jay shit
Times for a Carolina nigga to take his place with the greats
A slim nigga making bold statement
Ay J. Cole how you do that there? I hear you blowing up my nigga
I'm like, true that yea,
In NY but smile everytime I flew back there
That Carolina, Fayettenam oh yea my crew back there
I go home been so long they saying, you back here? -
Took a turn for the worst boy don't move back here
Don't do that! You who that?
He rep the Ville when he spit it told you he be back with a record deal and he did it
Nigga, fuck spinning on my pivot homie, I'm finna travel to the reps blow the whistle on me
I got a whole fuckig city that's just sitting on me
But yea it fits on my back, my state is sitting on that
Will I drop? I think not I get up while they stop-like a sleeve on tank tops
They ain't give it all they got so they flop
So hey watch, how I'm finna take their spot
Now I'm starring and they not-let me show you how to stay hot
I play not man I'm killing em even your idols feeling em dog
The same nigga who used to chill in the mall
While they were still in the mall, I was up there spilling my rap
The hero fighting them just to put the Ville on the map
Now I am
Now I am, hey and they ask and they ask and they ask and I tell them, Mr. Fayettenam hey
Hey and raise your glasses and your glasses and your glasses to the sky and...
This is the last call for alcohol
[Talking:]
Yeah man so shit, this was The Warm Up
Um, what can I say, what can I say?
If you heard The Come Up that was about just a lil nigga from North Carolina man
Fayettnam to be exact
Moved to NYC, chasing the dream
I used college, if y'all niggas don't know, I used college as a tool to get to New York
I ain't have no family up here or nothing like that, I came up here on a scholarship, nigga went to college
And the whole time I ain't even think I would have to finish college, I just thought I'd be signed by my freshman year so I wouldn't have to finish college
But it didn't happen like that obviously, a nigga graduated and things started falling into place
I got more focused, I dropped The Come Up
And I look at The Come Up like, how kinda like how I was in high school
Just picture this, The Warm Up is about a nigga who did not make the team when he tried out and I know it's a lotta niggas who know that feeling man
You try out, you think you deserve to be one the team and you go that day to look at the cut-list
You wake up and you can't even sleep, you're like, "Damn I'm gon' make the team, I did my thing at tryouts."
You go to the list. All the niggas is looking at their names on the list, some niggas is like, "Aww shit I see my name nigga I'm good, I'm good nigga I'm good, I see my name."
And you're looking for your name, and you kinda play in the back, tryna wait for niggas to clear out cause you're not sure
And you go to the list and your name ain't there
And you're like, "How the fuck did I not make this team? I'm better than him, I'm better than him, I'm better than him."
So a lotta niggas either quit or some niggas go harder and so that's kinda how I took the rap shit when I put out The Come Up
Cause ever since I was 15 I thought I was supposed to be signed
But you know, shit, everything happens for a reason
So shit fast forward to The Warm Up, this just me, like you know, me being that nigga that's practicing and making sure it's no way, it's undeniable that when I go to tryouts, there's no fucking way the coach is passing up on me, my nigga
So that's what this whole mixtape was about and lo and behold, you know
As I'm finishing the mixtape, the deal comes
Thank God, I'm blessed. Everything happens for a reason. And it couldn't have been with a more fucking, with a better fucking squad

legendary cole legendary
Takes me back to college
YSIV brought me here!
College Dropout brought this song here
Kanye>Cole>Logic
Cole kept the original instrumental and Logic should’ve did the same.
Nope I'm glad he changed his.. all 3 are great 💯
TremondKillz Also J. Cole and Kanye on the same label.
Think about it, logic could've got permission 🤔 him and Cole tight. Cole would've made it happen, duh.
@@Domincan2pX Not a chance, every time Logic has tried to clear a Kanye sample, he's been denied lol. He got denied once because his track had cursing on it lmao.
Now I am, hey and they ask and they ask and they ask and I tell them, it's the Fayettenam hey
Hey and your glasses and your glasses and your glasses
To the sky is, yea this is the last call for alcohol
This is the Warm Up
Yea, look now to the few niggas out there who heard my last shit
Which if I must say so myself that was a classic
I never been the type to ride my own coat tail
But it's obvious I'm here to stay, a fucking hotel
I came up, I warmed up!
The next up, I blow up!
If you ain't peep the trend by now with each rap I go up
Look all he wanted was a deal so when he got it he just faded
But tell me what's a deal when you want to be the greatest?
So Jay I appreciate it, hell of a stepping stone
Wonder if he see it in my eyes I'm trying to get the throne
Wonder if the people know how many nights I spent alone
Making beats writing rhymes, thinking deep fighting time
I'm getting better but wasn't getting younger
And all that time can make the most confident nigga wonder
But never doubt it or allowed that shit to phase me yo
Just switch my thoughts up like the stations on the radio nigga now I am
[Chorus:]
Now I am, hey and they ask and they ask and they ask and I tell them, it's the Fayettenam hey
Hey and your glasses and your glasses and your glasses
This is the last call for alcohol
This is the warm up!
So get cha back up off the wall
[Verse 2:]
Yea, now may I never slip up or let my grip up
I know my girl be praying Lord just keep his pants zipped up! -
Now if some groupie bitch is on his dick then make it's stiff up,
at least give the nigga commonsense to wrap his dick up
Toast the spliff up, our glasses then sip up,
We fly past they look up
They don't last we give up
They don't blast we clip up then empty
And indeed we hit the target yea these niggas think they the shit and they ain't even farted yet
Style incomplete like a garbage ass quarterback
My office is forreal ah fuck sack, niggas getting coffin in the Ville
Way too often and it feels wrong
New York Niggas fuck with me I got em singing Ville songs
I guess it's only right cause we grew up singing they shit
Big shit, Mase shit, Nas shit, Jay shit
Times for a Carolina nigga to take his place with the greats
A slim nigga making bold statement
Ay J. Cole how you do that there? I hear you blowing up my nigga
I'm like, true that yea,
In NY but smile everytime I flew back there
That Carolina, Fayettenam oh yea my crew back there
I go home been so long they saying, you back here? -
Took a turn for the worst boy don't move back here
Don't do that! You who that?
He rep the Ville when he spit it told you he be back with a record deal and he did it
Nigga, fuck spinning on my pivot homie, I'm finna travel to the reps blow the whistle on me
I got a whole fuckig city that's just sitting on me
But yea it fits on my back, my state is sitting on that
Will I drop? I think not I get up while they stop-like a sleeve on tank tops
They ain't give it all they got so they flop
So hey watch, how I'm finna take their spot
Now I'm starring and they not-let me show you how to stay hot
I play not man I'm killing em even your idols feeling em dog
The same nigga who used to chill in the mall
While they were still in the mall, I was up there spilling my rap
The hero fighting them just to put the Ville on the map
Now I am
Now I am, hey and they ask and they ask and they ask and I tell them, Mr. Fayettenam hey
Hey and raise your glasses and your glasses and your glasses to the sky and...
This is the last call for alcohol
repping NC🗣 classic
