    I think when Cole dissed Kendrick he didn’t realize how deep it was about to get. I think now he understands that he doesn’t want to be apart of what’s about to happen since it might get extremely personal.

He's been talking that way also, and has been super hungry especially over the past few years, only further confirming how I felt about cole ( he's the best ). But then he goes and apologizes to the guy that I believe he has been sneakily calling out over the last little while by saying I'm the number 1 I'm the GOAT, who wants it? The second that he faced some adversity, and he got what he was asking for with Kendrick awakening, after all that talk, he folded- and badly.

    @RadeenChoudhury Před měsícem +121

    I don’t really get this whole idea that J. Cole is suddenly invalidated because of the apology. I think he caved into the pressure of dropping a response to a track where, let’s be honest, he wasn’t really being dissed. Sure he caught a few strays, but Kendrick never really antagonized him like he did with Drake. This meant that Cole had to force creating some inauthentic digs towards Kendrick. The problem is that there was no real hate for Cole to feed his verse with because Kendrick never actually came after him. That’s why his response came off feeling weird because the hate felt forced…and turns out it was. It’s only after he dropped the track that he realized he just forced the whole thing and that he wasn’t really the target in the first place. THAT is why he stepped it back - it was fabricated.
    He’s talked about how his music before FHD didn’t align with him spiritually because it was fabricated and inauthentic to please the labels. He mentioned in his apology that 7 Minute Drill made him feel like that for the first time since that inauthentic era of music.
    His apology has more to do with not doing fake shit than it does with rapping. I think it’s unfair to write off his GOAT status because he wasn’t really being tested since he just caught strays. If Kendrick really came after Cole specifically with some venomous hate, I have no doubt that he would have killed him on the mic and stood on business. But the truth is he just didn’t feel the hate or anger because there was nothing to be angry about.
    Drake, on the other hand has been and was the target of Kendrick’s real actual hate so he has real reason to drop a response because they’ve been dissing each other for so long. The fuel for rap beefs is hate not just playground competitions.

      Bro it doesn't have anything to do with hate. Cole said he's the best and Kendrick said prove it. Kendrick wants to spar and compete for first place. Either Cole drops a strong diss or nothing at all. He chose to drop a diss that was mediocre at best , and then took it back. No matter what his intentions are, to his fans and to the hip hop community he sounds like a hypocrite and a fake who doesn't live up to his own lyrics. It doesn't make him any less skilled, but definitely less respected. It's not that deep. It's rap. MCs compete. If you come with some weak shit, you get cooked. Cole not only dropped weak shit, he APOLOGIZED. He can't ever claim to be the best again

I'm excited to see the the music that we get from this next. Imo i truly believe Drakes diss is already recorded. And i know its gonna be fire. I think the only reason why he hasnt dropped it yet is because hes waiting on Metro Boomin and futures new album to come out first which is this Friday coming up. Depending on whats on the album im sure will dictate if Drake will add a few more lines to it with some slight rearranging. Would be interesting to see if King Kendrick is on there again and responds in a back to back fashion like you mentioned 🔥 Thanks for the dope content as always fam!

    this is a stretch but I feel there is a world and way in which J cole may continue to spar and potentially go back at kendrick if he comes at Cole. Jermaine never actually said the words "i am sorry i did this." He said that his diss was lame because he didnt feel any type of way about dot's verse and that he just put something out bc of the pressure from fans and friends. He didn't necessarily feel bad about the way he rapped but more so that he fired a shot when that wasn't the thing he wanted to do. I agree that the lack of competitiveness from cole on that stage does make his claim to GOAThood feeble but I do think there is a way to flip it back if he responds to Kendrick's second shot or diss. An even bigger stretch could be that Cole is baiting the direct diss... "I will take it on the chin," trying to get kendrick to solely swing at him as opposed to targeting them both.
