Last night, J. Cole performed at his Anaheim, California stop on his \u20194 Your Eyez Only\u2019 tour, and revealed to the audience that the beat for his \u201cNeighbors\u201d track off of his latest project 4 Your Eyez Only is actually just \u201cForbidden Fruit\u201d played in reverse \u2014 give or take a few sounds. While performing the latter for the crowd, the rapper slowed the Kendrick Lamar-featuring track down and told to the crowd to \u201cjust listen\u201d carefully. After the Born Sinner record slowed down, Cole\u2019s DJ started playing the instrumental in reverse, seamlessly transitioning to the 4 Your Eyez Only song. After realizing both songs actually shared the same instrumental, the crowd applauded ecstatically.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
