One of the more hyped up-and-comers in 2010 (not sure if he even qualifies as a rookie anymore) takes the beat from Common and John Mayer’s “Go!” and puts his own spin on it.  I remember being let down when that song first dropped just because it was beyond repetitive…but I’m liking what J. Cole did to this.
