J.Cole – Light please
J. Cole’s ode to ignorant women and the ills of the world from his second mixtape, The Warm Up, lays some pretty heavy sentiment over a sparse but engaging beat.
Some have speculated the girl can also represent hip-hop (a la Common), and J. Cole validated this interpretation in a 2013 interview.
The song is what led to Cole being the first rapper signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label. Via HiphopDX:
That’s the song that got me so many meetings in the industry. It got me my meeting with Mark Pitts. Mark Pitts played it for Jay-Z. Jay-Z heard that song and that’s the reason why he even wanted to see me was from hearing ‘Lights Please.’
The song was later re-released on Cole’s debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story in 2011.
