J. Cole performs "Be Free" live on David Letterman

Free Palestine

wayyyy ahead of his time, man!

There's no words to describe this song and performance. Damn

Only heard this about a week ago and I can't believe we still having the same issues

Coming back to this after the unfortunate genocide going on in Palestine. Free Palestine ❤️🇵🇸

This is how I feel about Palestine 💔

His greatest verse and up there with wit changes Tupac.

I feel like the studio version sounds sad. This live version sounds angry and fed up especially with the new verse

Wow this is powerful... I listen to all his albums regularly, and this song wasnt on any of them... but man, that was heavy, one of the more sincere performances I think I've ever seen.

I watched this live on tv I miss David letterman

Im in my darkest times😓❤️

Goosebumps

Preach to the masses my nigga need the truth out writing pages to add to the ghetto gospel

Cole didnt give af about promoting the album he was like if yall gonna listen yall listen to what I have to say

We got too fight we all we got

One of the best Hov disses I ever heard besides ether

🔥🔥🔥🔥

I cried so many tears when I first heard this record. Masterpiece! Felt every word🔥🔥🏆🏆

Can’t get enough of this song

2023

2023 still playing this ❤❤

In the name of Cole world!

One of the greatest unreleased songs of all time

Nah Cole please stop it
Shit killing me slowly 🥲

POWER-FUCKIN-FUL!!!!!!!!
🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

David Letterman felt that shit 😆

Thank you Cole. Much love and respect

I've watch this piece about a million times

PAC would be proud. Much Love Cole, you helped save my life.

All we wanna do is be free

Even if performed this song and it wasn’t on a albums this song was a lot of pain behind there was a lot of tragedy behind the scenes police brutality black people dying and to say

Can you tell me why every time I step outside
I see my niggas down
Ooh, I'm letting you know
That it ain't no gun they can make that could kill my soul
Oh, no
Powerful message to the black community

And they say Hip Hop is trash. HIP HOP Is Modern Shakespearean messenger. Thank you for the Performance

😊

CLASSIC 🐐

2023.... Who is still here to witness greatness????

When Letterman said “OMG. You know what i mean?!, you know what i’m saying?!” I starting crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣

who’s here for this masterpiece in 2023 👀?

LEGENDARY performance 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This message is very slept on. Idk if we’ll ever see this society change for the better…. Everyone so distracted. I pray for us all.

J cole my day 1 big followings 🎉

Not a time goes by that I don’t watch this performance and not tear up! This is such passion and art

chills 🥶🥶

I remember the first time i saw this was live when it aired. A living room full of people not even watching the t.v. were all suddenly simultaneously silent.
True greatness

J.Cole is so under rated. This guy has some of the most inspiring and amazing music ever. Cole is like an ancient gem 💎 that has to be protected by all means. His music has so much passion like a modern day Tupac Shakur

This lil snippet of a song is so fire. Wish it was longer. Come back from time to time just to listen to it. J. Cole is so talented. Our modern day Tupac

King Cole 💪🏿

This how you use a platform

Greatness

OMG, know what I mean, know what I'm saying 🤯🤯🔥💯. Truer words haven't been spoken

I get chills every time i come back to this
