Back in June, we showed you a video clip of J. Cole as he put together his re-imagining of ESPN’s Baseball Tonight theme song. Today, thanks to ESPN (you can vote for your favorite at that same link), we get to hear both J. Cole and Travis Barker’s submissions. Via HHNM.
J. Cole’s Version
Travis Barker’s Version
Cole’s is much better
Cole World
Travis Barker went with the classic ESPN feel…but Cole went hip hop crazy lol…im rockin wit Cole’s joint
i say cole got this one
bet they go with barkers, i like coles better but like @visions said barkers is more classic espn
On Some Real, J.Cole’s Sucks. It Sounds Just Like A Drum Loop. Ppl Just Love Cole Too Much To Not Be Bias
Travis went fucking crazy, Coles sounds like straight trash, anyone feeling that needs to be slapped with a hubcap.
damn 2 days ago when i saw it on coles fan page, he was getting rocked like 56% to 44%. Cole World doing some major damage right now
To the guy that says J. Cole sucks i would love to know why you think so. I been hearing people say that lately and no one seems to have a true reason why they think that. And for this beat i think its cool. Baseball gets stuck in its traditions too much and this is a nice way to put some flavor in the game.
barker’s is a lot better. you can’t just use a drum loop and call it a day
yea Travis Barkers on is doper!…They shoulda had Lex Luger do one too
^^^^
WHAT?!
shut the fuck up n GET THE MOTHAMUCKKKKKKKKKK OUTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Yeah Cole World his has that energy to it. And if you have no opinion on this just vote Cole bc NYC/Brooklyn is hating on espn too
i couldve done coles in like 10 min. all he did was loop the drums and looped the espn theme. thats all, wow cole fans are just way over their heads these days
^Word lol. Travis is gonna win. And we all know. I’m mad Cole even submitted that. Lol.
I liked cole’s better, yes its simple as fuck n all but its still cool
When you’re a baseball fan and find this beat and have an hour to kill, this happens

*waits for c-section to rip it to shreds without listening*
lol you sound like a pussy. your ryhmes are simple as shit and you cop out with using 600 name drops. and who you shouting at rofl
beats dope though of course.
cole kills travis i have no idea how anyone couldnt see that. it has nothing to do with how simple or difficult it was to do its the end result that counts. cole > travis
this is for a 30 second intro theme to a baseball show…how fucking complex do you want the beat to be? i swear, some of you bitch just to bitch.
both dem joints are wack, so do yourself a favor and vote for the real musician…vote Travis. NY what the fuck? yall soft niggaz evacuated for some windy drizzle? SMH…real NYC official niggaz hold the fort down, they don’t run from hurricanes, especially hurricanes named Irene. the bodega down the block is still opened out here, just got back from buying some cafe bustleo, some hamburger helper and some white owls. peace to VA and to the rest of the peoples going through the real shit. NY yall disappointed me with all this panic BS. yall got niggaz turning into stormtroopers buying up all the milk, bread and double D batteries…word to Radio Raheem. lil nephew even hit me up earlier talkin’ bout he scared of this Irene bitch blowing through NYC. I told that nigga, the only shit you need to be worried with right now is the release of that A. Hole: COAL WORLD: the blindside story album. that album is gonna blow harder than Irene.
A. HOLE YOU PAPOOSED YOURSELF!!!©
^haha. what the fuck? are you the same dude that writes the big ghostface blog?
both garbage. if i hada pick 1. c.world.
Travis. For sure. The Cole version sounds too cluttered and it’s annoyingly repetitive. I was bored within the first 20 seconds, as with Travis’ you can listen to the whole thing and i can ACTUALLY picture them talking about baseball with that softly playing in the background. With that said Cole’s version is cah cah and you need to get off his PP people. I’m not a Travis Barker fan but i know it’s better than the garbage Hip-Hop version i heard.
TRAVIS FTW
I can see the Travis beat on espn, Cole’s wasnt bad either
JCOLE IS GARBAGE
dam, i expected barkers to be better but i like coles…
…or maybe not, lol… whatever, both illy
Travis won, J cole version sound soft, simple and more for a cartoon. Live Instrumentation will always be better
All yall niggas that hate on J Cole can suck a couple pimple cover dick, then jump off a bridge… NYC no one cares about what you like or who you listen to, for all we know you can be listening to some Soulja Boy with your shirt off screaming to the world that your gay but intil you wake up and listen to some real music you cant talk… everyone says Cole sucks dont know real hip hop when you see it. Cole and a few other rappers switch up what they talk about other rappers like lil wayne and birdshit and all them other sucky rappers talk about the same shit over and over and over and people think they are the best rappers to even pick up the mic… Well they are wrong Nas is the best and no one is fucking with that they have alot of nice rappers and all these people get on J. Coles c section and just calls him sucky cause of a mainstream song? Really mainstream doesnt allow people to do what they want to do… But workout is still drawing fans in and once they listen to the Come Up, The Warm Up, and Friday Night Lights… All they will say is “Damn This Nigga Cole Is Really Cole” but im getting off subject… You can diss J Cole when you can make a song better than anything he ever made but intil then SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND!! YOU IGNORANT FAGGOTS!
why everybody love hatin on Cole? his beat is truly better and ima hip hop fan so im def pullin for Cole and he is up in the voting as of now
I honestly wonder what the fuck people are hearing sometimes. Cole’s version is so garbage to me I sometimes wonder if it’s me that’s fucked up. So generic and awful on so many different levels. I don’t know what some of you are hearing. Just reaching and wanting and trying to like the guy so desperately.
Cole’s winning by a lot. Barker’s version sucks. No one likes it at the ESPN C-section. Funny how you guys hate Cole’s version and love Barker’s while it’s vice cersa over there
Coal World: Blindside Story? Rly NYC? Damn bro ur insults are getting lamer by the minute.
people are hearing with their hearts more than their ears it seems. lol @ cole haters
im a big cole fan but barkers actually fits the show better. im not gonna make some ridic claim like cole is a wack producer or his shits too simple…ITS A 30 SECOND SOUNDBYTE u over-analytic pricks, honestly kanye couldnt have done better with the format they gave him. hip hop just doesnt fit BBTN
His shit is too simple tho. I can actually imagine Barker’s being the opening is more amped up for sports. And it’s slightly different. Cole’s is just the original theme with a drum loop, nothing special at all. Doesn’t bring anything new to the table like Barker’s.

I’ve come to the conclusion that black people don’t like other black people to succeed. That is all.
Both are dope, I would personally say Cole won this shit, but Barker went APE SHIT on the drums and that’s who they are going to choose because of how hype it is and the similarities to the first intro. I could be wrong but I doubt it because it sounds like the original with 10,000 Watts added. But IDK
I’m a J. Cole stan, I’m not gonna lie, but I honestly thought that Travis Barker’s version was better, and it seems much better suited to actually be on the show. I’m not gonna hate on Cole, I just didn’t like his version as much.
I personally like the slowed down, riding music feel of J. Cole’s better, but I think they’ll go with Barkers cause of the high pace and energy.
well well well, ya boy cole running shit
