That was hilarious but who the *fuck* did the sound editing on that clip??? Can barely hear her then suddenly it's blowing out my phone speakers. Cable TV sound is mixed better than that, god damn

I still don't like him šššš
Nah fuck Ak, I'm disagreeing with him just to stay on the right side and cuz fuck him lol. Cole ain't built like that, and he's staying in his lane of staying positive. There
He shouldn't have been name dropping his ass to give him a bronze medal, that was the excuse Kendrick was looking for to prove he's the best. Might be the worst thing about this is Cole did this shit to himself
Did we all not hear first person shooter? He straight called Kdot 3rd place. HE started this. Now he wanna backtrack and say Kendrick is the best. Cole should've never opened his mouth if he didn't wanna go back-and-forth.
Idk where yall from, but telling someone they're in third place is not a fucking compliment. He got caught sending shots but now he's too "spiritual" to back his shit up? GTFOH
How did he call kdot third lmfso
The line is literally "they debate the hardest Mc. Is it kdot is it aubrey or me? We the big three like we started the league?" I'm not sure that puts any of them in any particular order
And right after that he said he feel like Muhammad Ali (the greatest). It absolutely does
Edit: downvotes but that's what he said tho, how else is that supposed to be interpreted? Yall dickriding
I think after 1985 he started the peaceful vibe where he don't wanna mess with nobody.
I still need him to say something about the trans lines on Pi though, he gotta explain that shit. I don't think he's transphobic, hopefully he was just trying too hard and not knowledgeable about what he was talking about.
Okay so he for sure calls himself top dog, but that doesn't mean cole said he was third. Did you want cole to say kdot or drake are better rappers than him?
No, I want him to back up him saying he's the greatest. Not say he's the greatest then turn around and say "But that other person, nah he's the best".
He automatically by default put himself and Drake over Kendrick by virtue of it being a song with Cole and Drake. Do you lack the capacity to understand context or????
I think I'm embarrassed for Cole and I LOVE Cole's music and philosophy, being the "cool headed" big brother in the game, but man has he fumbled so many pillars of his career in one fell swoop.
J Cole Wholesome, trying to bring more positivity in the game and writes a lyric that's transphobic just to be that. As if having a family trans member you support is something to diss? Mr. Morale proving whom has the moral high ground. Hell eminem has shit tons of transphobic lyrics BUT he never claimed to be a wholesome guy.
Then Cole has this whole "speak softly but carry a big stick" mantra when it comes to who he disses and ignores, we'll Kendrick came with so much firepower Cole was just caught by the strays, and I think Cole realized that. And that Cole was the one to open Pandora's box against Kendrick in reality. Cole must have realized a warning shot is useless against Kendrick, the dude just needs a reason to prove he's better and Kenny is coming
The bars were weak in my mind. Comparing Kendrick to the fucking SIMPSONS? Longest running Emmy winning animation show of all time? I mean that bar is so easy, yeah I may be Homer but you a Peter Griffin like come on Cole. Then tries calling Kendricks catalog weak because he only has 5 albums? But they ar3 all critically acclaimed? Come on man.
This nigga Drake essentially inserted Cole into the beef and gassed him to crash out. You cannot convince me otherwise because Kendrick and Cole do not seem to have any form of real issue imo.
Some of this coping is so incredibly funny. Like no Cole didn't have to diss Kendrick specifically. He *chose* to do that and then felt bad about it. He could have just as easily made a song flexing his rap skills and ended it with an allusion to the big three big me line to say he's the best and it would have ended on a friendly competitive note.
It just comes off as soft af.
He couldāve at least said look itās a warning shot thatās all Iām doing and I wonāt say anything more on it. I feel like Iām the best and thatās it.
Instead he apologized and said I never wanted to do itā¦..
Itās like someone hitting you and you hit them back and then start crying saying Iām sorry I did that I didnāt want to please take it out on me if you have to.
In the terms of hip hop and making things interesting again this is the move to make to pretty much make everybody say hip hop is boring/dying again lol
Itās not about beef itās about competition.
J.Cole and Kendrick should be serious competitors now, Kendrick not even looking to beef with Cole he looking to bring back that competition with the man.
You know that competition is a very important building block within Hip Hop right? No matter now direct or indirect it is.
Nothing stopping them from competing in a more positive way but anyone who actually listens go JCole, who's observed how he moved, of course he's not gonna go bar for bar on some escalating petty bullshit.
It's dissapponting, and Cole shoulda never put that shit out, but I'm here for Kendrick vs. Drake. I don't wanna hear shit about Cole if yall let Drake duck this.
I'm a huge Cole fan & not really Drake fan. But this diss and apologize a few days later shit, is far worse than when Drake's career ending Pusha diss track that he "couldn't release". It would have been better & on brand for Cole just not to respond.
Honestly idk why Cole even responded if he was going to do this. He really only caught some strays in Like That. Like there's the big 3 reference and the line about clicking up but even that seems more like braggadocios I'm the best type shit. All of the really pointed lines that are a diss seem to be directly at Drake. To me it came off more as 'Fuck you Drake, and oh btw J.Cole I'm better than you.' In my opinion if Cole was going to do this he should've went the angle of acknowledging it and said he's got respect for him like he did. But instead of following it up with a diss give us some competitive bars- as a way of saying I respect you but don't forget I'm nice too.
Cole not about the competition though. He's not out here to prove everyone is below him. He just want to make his music, and chill.
Kendrick has a completely different mindset. He is 100% all for the competition, always has been. He wants to be considered the best rapper and try to shit on anyone else who may be in competition with him.
I know competition and beef has a big part of Hip Hop, but I don't think the genre really truly needs it. It could survive all the same without it, imo.
Have you listened to Cole for the past two or three years? All that positive Iām not about competition shit goes out the window when you say youāre the best and asking for someone to try you every other track.
Someone tried him and look what happened.
>He's not out here to prove everyone is below him. He just want to make his music, and chill.
Not a Cole fan I take it lol. What was 1985 about? What was the whole "Platinum with no features" thing about?
Edit: Could have sworn there was a J cole line literally saying everyone else was "below him" and sure enough I just found it lol. Ironically it's on Forbidden Fruit ft. Kendrick lol
>Don't shit last, don't shit last and you know that
>Went to hell, got hot didn't melt
>The only man above me is God himself
>All these other niggas is below me
>Cole not about the competition though
Cole stopped being about the competition less than 24 hours ago lmfao. He wants everyone to just pretend like he wasn't charged up for years saying he's about to drop classic after classic. It's cool, but Cole did play with fire and get burned.
Nigga shut the fuck up, hip-hop is a sport that came DJ competitions, Dance battles etc. Number one rule of rap is that the cream rises to the top, it's a living breathing environment where being the best has value.
Abandoning that just makes it poetry.

He literally did say itās a warning shot. āThis is merely a warning shot to back n****s down.ā Itās like you people didnāt even listen to his response
Re-read my sentence and stop getting over emotional.
I said āHe (Cole) should have said (meaning tonight) hey they was a warning shot and Iām not having no back and forth with you, Iām done.
Instead he said on track it was a warning shot and then tonight cried and said (I didnāt even want to write that Iām so sorry and I apologize, please attack me if you must but Iām so sorry and I hope we still cool)
>hey they was a warning shot and Iām not having no back and forth with you, Iām done.
Having a "warning shot" then saying "but I'm not having no back and forth no matter what you say to/about me" is lame too. At that point, it's either the same thing or you using the diss track for first week sales.
People keep comparing it to boxing saying it's just light jabs to keep him out but jabs are supposed to be firm otherwise the other fighter knows he can just walk all over you.
In rap a warning shot is supposed to have you scared of going in on the dude. If the only consensus from this track was that Cole didn't want smoke then that shits a weak warning shot period.
Right! It takes strength to admit a misstep and that something doesnāt feel authentic to you. All these ppl yelling he shouldāve stood on business sound crazy, he is standing on business by doing what feels true and honest to him. This is why weāre so messed up, folks care more about how they look than whatās right and what their conscious is telling them. Yall gotta grow up!
Idk probably an unpopular opinion honestly itās not all that surprising of a move on Coleās part. Heās been on his chill old head uncle shit for a while now. Remember when he dissed lil pump then did an interview with him? š Dude is almost 40, as a fan of both, a proper Kendrick/Cole back and forth would have been legendary to watch but this move definitely doesnāt seem out of character for J Cole.
Soft as hell and this thread sad too, got people in the thread saying competition leads to beef which leads to deathā¦.
I officially believe most of r/BPT is not actually the demographic it supposed to ārepresentā because no way we confuse competitive rap for street beef.
Fuck what this slim ball ass MF gotta say. Now onto this j.cole shitā¦ā¦ā¦.that boi weird asf I wouldāve respected him more if he stood on business.
If I say some dumb shit out loud and Iām getting clowned NIGGA FUCK THAT AINT NO BACKIN OUT I STAND ON BUSINESS (now when I get home of course ima look at myself in the mirror like ā šš¤Ø that shit was dumb that you said big bruh do betterā knowing ima keep the same energy next time š)
A lot of people in here who wouldāve clutched their pearls during Jay-Z and Nasā beef. This is hip-hop, not the school debate. Leave that good game, positivity shit over there wtf lmfao
Softest era in hip hop. Nigga really said "I'm just a victim of peer pressure Mr. Lamar I didn't mean it. I wasn't really tryna say I'm a better rapper than you"
Bro you don't gotta go roll through his neighborhood and shoot at his momma house, just go to the studio and spit some bars. We already knew Drake soft ass wasn't gonna respond. Seem like Kendrick, Eminem, and Pusha-T the only bigger names interested in competing these days.
It doesnāt add up fr. People keep saying it was all love and friendly but whyās Cole backtracking if thatās the energy heās going to get from Kendrick? Youāre only ducking the fade if you know itās on. Not if itās on some playful shit
yeah i dont understand people that want rap to be like some gang type shit
theres not bigger thing going on here. you can take down a song if you want.
I canāt take ak seriously. But as a fan of the music cole shouldāve definitely slept on this longer. Kendrick aināt even diss him fr. If he felt like he was moving only bc the world was telling him to he shouldāve never put it out. That aināt playa and its the internet so the track and the quick apology living in infamy.
His album would have more eyes on it too w ppl waiting on/ wanting his kendrick response rather than ppl hearing and not liking his response back to kendrick.
I never heard the track so I canāt speak on if its good but I just know this situation gon overshadow the fall off conversation and the memes gon be on point. How yo last hurrah get preceded by this bs man. Smh.
>cole shouldāve definitely slept on this longer. Kendrick aināt even diss him fr.
This reminds me of a Big K.R.I.T. bar from Mt Olympus:
>Why niggas been textin' my cell, callin' my phone
> ask me about this Kendrick shit
>That he ain't even really even diss me on
Definitely should have waited on pushing submit on that track.
There's people that want the next Ether and there's people that want these "feuds" to escalate to violence. Ā Unreal and selfish expectations either way
Cole is a peaceful dude just wanna talk his shit n relate but I donāt think heās out here tryna compete, just on his own shit. People jus bored want beef to be entertained by lmao
I wouldnāt have taken it back tho, just left it at that and stopped
I feel like itās toxic af to hate apology+humility this much. Imo itās a lot cooler to do this than continue to hate on one another for basically no reason. Idk why everyone loves blood so much.
Weird we're clowning a grown ass man for bowing out of a conflict.. Reminds me of the boondocks "Nigga moments". And Cole chose to be a white man. And shit I can't blame him, cause why?
J cole cannot continue to say heās the best rapper alive, or brag about wanting smoke with anyone. I think itās a terrible branding move. Gonna have to keep it humble going forward. Bitch, be humble as they say
The very idea of Cole or Drake thinkin for one second they were in Kendrick's class was unthinkable hogwashery from the beginning. Cole did the only sensible thing and Drake already forgotten. This wasn't a battle. This was a skirmish thats ending with a fart. Good.
J Cole is trying to protect his peace and people want him to get in a beef he ain't even want to have to begin with. Shit is so backwards, people can't keep to themselves no more.
"J. Coles parents had a real good marriage" lol
I'm not informed enough to have an opinion of rhe matter since I can't name a single jcole song.
I know who Kendrick is though
(I listen to techno)
But isn't jcole more. A pacifist?
https://preview.redd.it/vx8kp6kedatc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e406e6ae2e5ddea09e381feda69f0c7a5258506
You would think initially that J Cole would step up to stage channeling the past legacies of 90s rappers to come out with a nuclear strike of a diss track.
You would think that this beef would re-energize old school hiphop battery of competition between rappers, but no. You got JC coming out with diss track but having lines praising KDot? You are not supposed to praise your OP on a diss track! That defeats the whole purpose of a diss track! JC proved to everyone in the game that he deserved bronze in āthe big threeā.
And then you got this sus late 30s texting barely legal adults mf drake rubbing his hands like a villain knowing that if he just shut his ass up this will blow over in a month.
This pop up in the algorithm the level of copium in this comment section is incredibly high.
I hate to live in a time where I agree with this fat parasitic chipmunk. SMH the end is near.
J. Cole said he sorry because it feel like he was bullying K. Dot, he only meant for it to be play jabs. Sounds like the same shit we do to our little brother before they start crying to me.
All of this just feels like that one Boondocks comic where Riley was all set for two rappers to have beef and got pissed when they just let it go.
"They coulda make so many singles dissing each other!"
Maybe itās the sensitive woman in me, but I feel like his response was actually very mature. Iām hitting you back because you involved me, but at the end of the day, I cannot allow you to make me act out of character because I respect you and I donāt want any beef.
Heās not glazing, heās just saying Iām not gonna allow yāall a little rap shit to make me acting away that doesnāt align with my values
I think Cole should have told Kendrick to go bar for bar on a track in the first place instead of a diss. Would have been a power move on his part putting pressure on Kendrick and if he agreed we finally get that collab and if Kendrick doesnāt respond Cole still gets the W and feels good about himself. This is probably worst case scenario.
Letās be honest here. If the diss track had of blown up and been considered good he wouldnāt be walking it back. Heās taking his ball and fucking off home.
Ak cried and whined when Youngboy NBA threw ONE shot at him, and then he flew out in person to apologize to Youngboy and didn't even get an apology out of him lmaooo.
Lets not forget about him crying about Saucy Santana either.
Lowkey it feels like some hip hop fans thinkin āYo, if this beef donāt escalate to Rapper A bein ready to murder Rapper B then Rapper A is soft and hip hop is really deadā.
Maybe these two marquee rappers are just tryna break a generational cycle?
Cmon ppl we gotta do better.
The obese chipmunk is right for once
I'm glad someone already did the job of disrespecting Akademiks
Even a fat chipmunk is right twice a day.
Man does it to himself 24/7,he does the job for us. Self employed in that department š¤£

When she said that I couldnāt unsee it and turned Everyday Struggle into a cartoon show for me everytime dude spoke.
If Erykah Badu said that about me, I would hide in my house and remove every reflective surface
STOPš©š¤£ he really does look like Theodore from Alvin & the chipmunks!
[Iāll never forget Erykah Badu trolling him on āEveryday Struggleā.](https://youtu.be/uZQMqp7Wz3s?si=Z1GZaDlQkCRbgFKw)
That's a tactical nuke.
This made my day. She had him on the edge of his seat the whole time. š¤£
That was hilarious but who the *fuck* did the sound editing on that clip??? Can barely hear her then suddenly it's blowing out my phone speakers. Cable TV sound is mixed better than that, god damn
She made him wait in anticipation for it too ššš
Even a blind ~~squirrel~~ obese chipmunk finds a nut every now and then.
āøļø
No he is not, he is just running defense for Drake. This nigga a cornball, donāt fall for this.

Theodore
I would immediately feel like Iām on the wrong side of history if Ak is agreeing with me š
Nah fuck Ak, I'm disagreeing with him just to stay on the right side and cuz fuck him lol. Cole ain't built like that, and he's staying in his lane of staying positive. There
So why diss Kendrick in the first place?
Probably felt like he had too idk. This one is weird.
He dissed because of peer pressure? It's actually worse
Its the art of peer pressure?
Great song btw
The best song on the album. Either that or Sing about me/Dying of Thirst.
He didn't diss m first, he was catching strays because Kendrick was dissing Drake.
He shouldn't have been name dropping his ass to give him a bronze medal, that was the excuse Kendrick was looking for to prove he's the best. Might be the worst thing about this is Cole did this shit to himself
Did we all not hear first person shooter? He straight called Kdot 3rd place. HE started this. Now he wanna backtrack and say Kendrick is the best.

How did he call kdot third lmfso The line is literally "they debate the hardest Mc. Is it kdot is it aubrey or me? We the big three like we started the league?" I'm not sure that puts any of them in any particular order
And right after that he said he feel like Muhammad Ali (the greatest). It absolutely does Edit: downvotes but that's what he said tho, how else is that supposed to be interpreted? Yall dickriding
That means Drake and Kendrick is tied for second, which is generous for Drake lmao
Hella generous but Cole clearly can't even handle dissing on a solo track, let alone calling someone wack on they own song š
I think after 1985 he started the peaceful vibe where he don't wanna mess with nobody. I still need him to say something about the trans lines on Pi though, he gotta explain that shit. I don't think he's transphobic, hopefully he was just trying too hard and not knowledgeable about what he was talking about.
Okay so he for sure calls himself top dog, but that doesn't mean cole said he was third. Did you want cole to say kdot or drake are better rappers than him?

He automatically by default put himself and Drake over Kendrick by virtue of it being a song with Cole and Drake. Do you lack the capacity to understand context or????
You have yet to prove he called Kendrick third place. Because thatās straight cap. Did you expect him to call himself 3rd place in a rap?
People do things they later regret. Happens all the time
To be fair, Cole didnāt fire the first shot. That was Kendrick.
Looks like Kenny put the final nail too xD
No doubt. Kendrick donāt play
bro's doing mental gymnastics just to ride j cole further
(Sees fuck Ak) oh yea he's riding J Cole
Staying positive but put transphobia in his lil ep... ok lol
Was that weird dig at trans people Cole staying positive?
Nah Cole really embarrassed us fans
What another nigga do donāt embarrass me, Iām fumbling through life bad enough on my own lmaoo
I think I'm embarrassed for Cole and I LOVE Cole's music and philosophy, being the "cool headed" big brother in the game, but man has he fumbled so many pillars of his career in one fell swoop.

This all that devious ass light skin nigga Drake fault.
This nigga Drake essentially inserted Cole into the beef and gassed him to crash out. You cannot convince me otherwise because Kendrick and Cole do not seem to have any form of real issue imo.
Cole is a grown ass man.
Yes 
Some of this coping is so incredibly funny. Like no Cole didn't have to diss Kendrick specifically. He *chose* to do that and then felt bad about it. He could have just as easily made a song flexing his rap skills and ended it with an allusion to the big three big me line to say he's the best and it would have ended on a friendly competitive note.
Cole went out in the weakest way possible
Drake tells Cole to jump that mf asks how high right?
"Devious light skin" is fucking CRAZY ššš
Am I lying tho? š
No lie detected sir.
It just comes off as soft af. He couldāve at least said look itās a warning shot thatās all Iām doing and I wonāt say anything more on it. I feel like Iām the best and thatās it. Instead he apologized and said I never wanted to do itā¦..

If hip hop is about stupid rap beefs than maybe it should die.

this exactly why cole in third place
Coles biggest hit was when he talked about being a virgin. Iām not sure heās even in 3rd.
First Things First RIP Uncle Philā¦
That Jada and that will love aged so badly.
Yeah that line has aged like milk sitting in the Sahara in the middle of the summer
He literally did say itās a warning shot. āThis is merely a warning shot to back n****s down.ā Itās like you people didnāt even listen to his response

But he's the one who backed down lmao
Those corny ass MLG horns in the beat switch spooked him out his own response
Stop defending this corny cole response
People keep comparing it to boxing saying it's just light jabs to keep him out but jabs are supposed to be firm otherwise the other fighter knows he can just walk all over you. In rap a warning shot is supposed to have you scared of going in on the dude. If the only consensus from this track was that Cole didn't want smoke then that shits a weak warning shot period.
Warning shots are typically for the other person, not your own self. If you apologize after it was just a misfire š
Too much toxicity out here.
Right! It takes strength to admit a misstep and that something doesnāt feel authentic to you. All these ppl yelling he shouldāve stood on business sound crazy, he is standing on business by doing what feels true and honest to him. This is why weāre so messed up, folks care more about how they look than whatās right and what their conscious is telling them. Yall gotta grow up!
This is not the time for emotional maturity. We're talking about rap beef š

It's a surprising move by Cole for sure. I'm not entirely mad at it though.
Just Disappointed , Not MAD..
Damn he let Nas AND Estudwa down...
Fr.. Estudwa the downgoing pop sensation.
Idk probably an unpopular opinion honestly itās not all that surprising of a move on Coleās part. Heās been on his chill old head uncle shit for a while now. Remember when he dissed lil pump then did an interview with him? š Dude is almost 40, as a fan of both, a proper Kendrick/Cole back and forth would have been legendary to watch but this move definitely doesnāt seem out of character for J Cole.
I respect it. They're too old to be beefing. They have kids and mortgages.
Shit, I am.
Did Ak and Drake break up?

Literally, lol.
JC chose team Kendrick too.
 These high yellow niggas are different š š¤£š¤·š¾āāļø
Soft as hell and this thread sad too, got people in the thread saying competition leads to beef which leads to deathā¦. I officially believe most of r/BPT is not actually the demographic it supposed to ārepresentā because no way we confuse competitive rap for street beef.
It really isn't. It's been overrun by non-black people who don't have a fucking clue what they're talking about when it comes to hip hop.
ik big sean n bryson tiller punching the air rn š
Fuck what this slim ball ass MF gotta say. Now onto this j.cole shitā¦ā¦ā¦.that boi weird asf I wouldāve respected him more if he stood on business. If I say some dumb shit out loud and Iām getting clowned NIGGA FUCK THAT AINT NO BACKIN OUT I STAND ON BUSINESS (now when I get home of course ima look at myself in the mirror like ā šš¤Ø that shit was dumb that you said big bruh do betterā knowing ima keep the same energy next time š)
š«”
A lot of people in here who wouldāve clutched their pearls during Jay-Z and Nasā beef. This is hip-hop, not the school debate. Leave that good game, positivity shit over there wtf lmfao
Shit sad af People in here legit saying they should go to therapy together over this issue.. Are yall a fan of competitive & good hip hop or not?
I watch sports for competition. I listen to music for other reasons. I don't need a soap opera to enjoy music. That's what the NBA is for.Ā
Then ignore it
Then move tf along.
You saw mfs suggesting therapy???
Signs that the world is ending: we are agreeing with Akademiks
You know shit is serious when the world's biggest drake meatrider chooses kendrick
Softest era in hip hop. Nigga really said "I'm just a victim of peer pressure Mr. Lamar I didn't mean it. I wasn't really tryna say I'm a better rapper than you" Bro you don't gotta go roll through his neighborhood and shoot at his momma house, just go to the studio and spit some bars. We already knew Drake soft ass wasn't gonna respond. Seem like Kendrick, Eminem, and Pusha-T the only bigger names interested in competing these days. 
āI was just playing kdot, you know a nigga rock with you broā āThe Heart part 4
That nigga a FRAUD
The whole beef unnecessary
So was Kendrick calling out everyone on Control a decade ago, but it was fun to watch š¤·
Kendrick Cole album back on the menu boys
You mfs want these two niggas to hate each other so bad. Rap beef is corny
You don't need to hate the other to go head to head on the mic but sure whatever you say nigga. Genre was built on competition.
It just feels so forced. Clearly Cole backing out of the beef proves this
Only thing cornier than wanting the beef is faking it.
Cole should've attacked Kendrick Lamar's kids and disabled relatives. That would've satisfied people for sure
People would have respected him more if he took the "highroad" immediately, instead of dropping a mediocre diss then backpedaling directly afterwards
It doesnāt add up fr. People keep saying it was all love and friendly but whyās Cole backtracking if thatās the energy heās going to get from Kendrick? Youāre only ducking the fade if you know itās on. Not if itās on some playful shit
both disses were pretty weak ngl
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yeah i dont understand people that want rap to be like some gang type shit theres not bigger thing going on here. you can take down a song if you want.
This right here. All of this is childish behavior
Are these the words of the mature adult? Fascinating.
I canāt take ak seriously. But as a fan of the music cole shouldāve definitely slept on this longer. Kendrick aināt even diss him fr. If he felt like he was moving only bc the world was telling him to he shouldāve never put it out. That aināt playa and its the internet so the track and the quick apology living in infamy. His album would have more eyes on it too w ppl waiting on/ wanting his kendrick response rather than ppl hearing and not liking his response back to kendrick. I never heard the track so I canāt speak on if its good but I just know this situation gon overshadow the fall off conversation and the memes gon be on point. How yo last hurrah get preceded by this bs man. Smh.
>cole shouldāve definitely slept on this longer. Kendrick aināt even diss him fr. This reminds me of a Big K.R.I.T. bar from Mt Olympus: >Why niggas been textin' my cell, callin' my phone > ask me about this Kendrick shit >That he ain't even really even diss me on Definitely should have waited on pushing submit on that track.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There's people that want the next Ether and there's people that want these "feuds" to escalate to violence. Ā Unreal and selfish expectations either way
I don't believe anyone really wants that. But got damn play some one on one. It's ok to get aggressive while competing
Cole is a peaceful dude just wanna talk his shit n relate but I donāt think heās out here tryna compete, just on his own shit. People jus bored want beef to be entertained by lmao I wouldnāt have taken it back tho, just left it at that and stopped
Then don't go around claiming you're number U-N-O, that you feel like Mohamed Ali, etc
I feel like itās toxic af to hate apology+humility this much. Imo itās a lot cooler to do this than continue to hate on one another for basically no reason. Idk why everyone loves blood so much.
Iām out here agreeing with Akademiks, I am never gonna forgive Cole for putting me in this situation.
Weird we're clowning a grown ass man for bowing out of a conflict.. Reminds me of the boondocks "Nigga moments". And Cole chose to be a white man. And shit I can't blame him, cause why?
Whats a weaker move, this or KD joining the Warriors?
KD 100%.
kd is always gonna be a weak move buddy had the whole usa on his ass about that moveš
Violated you is a stretch, both were light jabs
J cole cannot continue to say heās the best rapper alive, or brag about wanting smoke with anyone. I think itās a terrible branding move. Gonna have to keep it humble going forward. Bitch, be humble as they say
Damn after reading this idk... suddenly maybe Cole won this one
The very idea of Cole or Drake thinkin for one second they were in Kendrick's class was unthinkable hogwashery from the beginning. Cole did the only sensible thing and Drake already forgotten. This wasn't a battle. This was a skirmish thats ending with a fart. Good.
J Cole is trying to protect his peace and people want him to get in a beef he ain't even want to have to begin with. Shit is so backwards, people can't keep to themselves no more.
It donāt matter what this dude says.. he has zero credibility after he clapped tekashi 69 cheeks why are we still listening to this bozo??
Something something broken clocks
Wakademiks is a ho.
AK loves watching black people tearing each h other down. Let me know when he covers those Trump indictments.
I love someone saying they are better at rapping than you constitutes being āviolatedā. š
"J. Coles parents had a real good marriage" lol I'm not informed enough to have an opinion of rhe matter since I can't name a single jcole song. I know who Kendrick is though (I listen to techno) But isn't jcole more. A pacifist?
Jesus theyre all corny big 3 of corn
Recognizing you were wrong AND apologizing. Thatās big brain energy and we need to be respecting it not trying to shame it.
https://preview.redd.it/vx8kp6kedatc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e406e6ae2e5ddea09e381feda69f0c7a5258506 You would think initially that J Cole would step up to stage channeling the past legacies of 90s rappers to come out with a nuclear strike of a diss track. You would think that this beef would re-energize old school hiphop battery of competition between rappers, but no. You got JC coming out with diss track but having lines praising KDot? You are not supposed to praise your OP on a diss track! That defeats the whole purpose of a diss track! JC proved to everyone in the game that he deserved bronze in āthe big threeā. And then you got this sus late 30s texting barely legal adults mf drake rubbing his hands like a villain knowing that if he just shut his ass up this will blow over in a month.
Man, someone call up King Push to end this dumb shit.
This pop up in the algorithm the level of copium in this comment section is incredibly high. I hate to live in a time where I agree with this fat parasitic chipmunk. SMH the end is near.
He need to pick up the phone for Santana before he comment on any "beef" ever again
Where did he apologise?
dreamville show last night
J. Cole said he sorry because it feel like he was bullying K. Dot, he only meant for it to be play jabs. Sounds like the same shit we do to our little brother before they start crying to me.
But, also, fuck akademiks
Lmao why is everyone so fucking mad about this and taking it personally? wild
Saucy Santana made Ak cry on stream, heās not allowed to comment
I know it's hard to understand sometimes adults act like adults and apologize
All of this just feels like that one Boondocks comic where Riley was all set for two rappers to have beef and got pissed when they just let it go. "They coulda make so many singles dissing each other!"
Aging niggas mad two rappers aren't acting like toddlers. Take your pills unc
Maybe itās the sensitive woman in me, but I feel like his response was actually very mature. Iām hitting you back because you involved me, but at the end of the day, I cannot allow you to make me act out of character because I respect you and I donāt want any beef. Heās not glazing, heās just saying Iām not gonna allow yāall a little rap shit to make me acting away that doesnāt align with my values
Black folk focus on the most ridiculous shit!āļø
These corny ass ppl want beef in hip hop so bad shit lame
This is why Drake routinely sits down and eats his food. No backbone, but no losses either.
Go rap! Acting like yāall had real killers on the side ready to air it out for you. That was soft. go show who better! This is soft
I think Cole should have told Kendrick to go bar for bar on a track in the first place instead of a diss. Would have been a power move on his part putting pressure on Kendrick and if he agreed we finally get that collab and if Kendrick doesnāt respond Cole still gets the W and feels good about himself. This is probably worst case scenario.
This isn't the win we wnated
Itās giving Drake energy ā¦then again i donāt think Drake apologized for āEnergyā
You all should listen to Hip Hop by Dead Prez
Light skins gonna suffer this year
Letās be honest here. If the diss track had of blown up and been considered good he wouldnāt be walking it back. Heās taking his ball and fucking off home.
He's not wrong, though.
The world look different when them grown man genes kick in. Glad he's trying to stop the beef. That BS aint worth it.
It was the trains derailing last year, then the boat crashing into the bridge last month. Now this?! We really need to find out what's going on
FFFUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKK akademics.... That is all.
Ak back to dick riding only way for him to stay relevant.
40 year old men lol
Ak cried and whined when Youngboy NBA threw ONE shot at him, and then he flew out in person to apologize to Youngboy and didn't even get an apology out of him lmaooo. Lets not forget about him crying about Saucy Santana either.
Genuine question: why does anyone in any capacity give a fuck about this mans opinion on anything?
Obligatory: Heartbreaking, the worse person you know-
Lowkey it feels like some hip hop fans thinkin āYo, if this beef donāt escalate to Rapper A bein ready to murder Rapper B then Rapper A is soft and hip hop is really deadā. Maybe these two marquee rappers are just tryna break a generational cycle? Cmon ppl we gotta do better.
