"This better than J Fold verse" — Internet reacts to Wiz Khalifa previewing a verse on J. Cole’s ‘cLOUDs’ which samples his song ‘Never Been’

On Thursday, February 27, American rapper Wiz Khalifa took to Instagram and shared a post previewing a verse of J. Cole's recently released track, cLOUDs. The caption of the post suggested that Cole asked him to preview a verse. Khalifa said:

"Cole asked me to do a verse on here, and I don’t know when he’s gonna drop it, so I figured I’d let y’all get a sneak peek. Taylor Gang the world."

For the unversed, cLOUDs sampled Never Been, a track by Wiz Khalifa, which was dropped back in 2010. The Instagram post received more than 170K likes and over 22K reshares. It was later circulated across other social media platforms like X, where it gained massive traction.

Here are some popular responses found on X, formerly known as Twitter. A user (@boywonder3800) tweeted:

"This better than J Fold verse."

Another user wrote on X:

"Omg this is the realest thing Cole has ever done."

"Wiz making it feel like the blog era again," added a tweet.

"Kinda fire 🔥. Nice flow," commented another fan.

A lot of other fans reacted and expressed love to the clip and the track. A user stated:

"We need this on the new Wiz album."

"This my next pocket of rap I'm diving in," read a tweet.

"This instrumental was made for Wiz🔥," explained a fan.

Wiz Khalifa's Never Been was a part of his eighth mixtape named Kush & Orange Juice. The mixtape had tracks which reportedly sampled several other songs. For instance, The Kid Frankie sampled the Loose Ends song Hangin' on a String. Never Been reportedly sampled Schala's Theme and In the Cut sampled Frou Frou's Let Go.

The mixtape became popular and turned into a trending subject on the internet back then.
