Apr 8, 2024 Let me just make a disclaimer that I’m a fan of Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Drake. Kendrick is my favorite so I do have a bias. But people have been wanting this competition forever… and now once we almost get it we’re just gonna p---- out? This is disappointing. Cole apologizing legitimately pissed me off. People gotta learn not to take these rap disses personally and just f---ing diss each other. It’s not that deep. Rap battling is like a sport. You can be friends after the game is over.
Apr 8, 2024 Also when he gets rappers to feature on his songs he sends them empty stems & adds his verse after
Apr 8, 2024 Some people conveniently forget that Cole was taking shots at Kendrick across that whole project, not just 7 minute drill.
Apr 8, 2024 The most annoying s--- is his insistence to add his own production to other people's beats, doesn't change them enough to be better and the only things that are added make it sound worse.
Apr 8, 2024 Tbf Cole shadowboxes fake rappers all the time so it could just be fucky timing, that s--- on the first song about having white fans and the trans line definitely seems Kendrick oriented though.
Apr 8, 2024 When I heard the “Is you a demon or is that demeanour for the gram?” bar I immediately thought he was talking to Kendrick & using the Drake Graham/gram flip, especially when he makes that trans reference moments later which would be a shot at Auntie Diaries.
Apr 8, 2024 Drake sucks hobo d-ck but he at least had the balls to respond to someone like Pusha even if it forever damaged his psyche in the process lol
Apr 8, 2024 I think the “white fans” diss is pretty stupid considering any rapper who becomes a household name will have a majority of white fans, including J. Cole.
Apr 8, 2024 I never thought I’d be hoping for Drake to save this, but I honestly am. If Drake doesn’t respond then this competition is dead. Even if Kendrick drops a diss on Cole, Cole basically already said he won’t respond. What could’ve been one of the most exciting things in hip hop in a long time is now becoming an embarrassment.
Apr 8, 2024 I don’t think he’s scared of Kendrick, tucking his tail, or scared of that competition, I think he respects him and felt fake for dissing him. It’s an L and he should’ve never made the diss in the first place, but considering the circumstances, it’s better he did this than continue to be fake for entertainment sakes. Peer pressure is real, the world was waiting for some sort of reply. I’m done though, I don’t even want to defend this activity. Overreactions from both sides are expected
Apr 8, 2024 Yeah both sides overreacted for sure. I overreacted by getting pissed off when J. Cole apologized. It wouldn’t be so bad if he at least waited for Kendrick to respond and then apologized. It wouldn’t be so bad if the apology didn’t come so soon after the diss. But I guess he felt pressured to address it on the big stage. I get why he apologized, it’s just that he should’ve thought all this through a lot more before he dropped that Might Delete Later project. I don’t normally like fake s--- in real life but in hip hop I would’ve accepted Cole continuing the battle even if it wasn’t real. It was never gonna be real to begin with, we know Kendrick and Cole are friends or at least were. I just like the competition aspect of it. I kind of look at it like the WWE. You know they’re not fighting for real, but if they engage you enough you can suspend your disbelief enough for it to feel like it is real
Apr 8, 2024 I ain’t gonna lie to y’all, I moved in a way that I feel spiritually bad on me. I tried to like, jab my guy back and I tried to keep it friendly.. but at the end of the day when I listen to it and when it comes out I see the talk.. that s--- don’t sit right with my spirit that s--- makes me feel- that s--- disrupts my f---in peace. So what I wanna say right here tonight, that in the midst of me doing that and downplaying this guys f---ing post history, and his greatness, I wanna say right now tonight how many people think ripper roo is one of the greatest MFers to ever touch a f---ing cellular phone! So I just wanna come up here publicly like, bruh, that was the lamest, goofiest s---. It made me feel like 10 years ago when I was moving incorrectly, and I pray that god aligns me on my correct path. I pray my guy really didn’t feel no way, and if he did I got my chin out, take your best shot imma take that s--- in the chin boy, you do what you do. Yknow I mean like, it’s all good, it’s love.
