J COLE SHOULD'VE KEPT THIS.. "PORT ANTONIO"

Jean Low

Just rap??? Meanwhile kendrick lost friends 16 to be exact.

refreshh

the beef between kendrick and drake was too personal for cole to have a competition beef with kendrick if you know what i mean

Haja Bangura

I mean Drake’s bodyguard did get shot….

Jah

Ngl I swear y’all and most of the people never heard what bro said on middle child

Lift Off

Rell funny ash he be acting like he wrote this shit himself 😂

Zay

YEAHH TERRENCE TAKE THEM HEADSETS OFF COLE TRYNA SAY SOME BULLSHIT

Reggie Hughes

Cole shot back first he pussy case closed

Reggie Hughes

Plot twist Tyler and Kendrick are better friends than him and Cole.

Reggie Hughes

5:17 no diddy

Dontae Roye

No. Jeezy sent it to Kendrick first. And Jcole last, then Jcole started spitting. It was deliberate

Jake

He can rap with the best of em…. But he gotta chill on the “I’m the 🐐” He had a chance to prove it, and forfeited…. It’s simple…

Cash

I think “he would’ve lost a bro” because he knows it would’ve gone too far for them to probably have the friendship they have at the moment.

Caleb Hopkins

yall speakin straight facts. its frustrating that cole didn’t wanna join in, but i still respect his stance fr

Paul Williams

that’s exactly my point though. fans think being #1 is the willingness to put another rapper down in a song. J cole has a different mentality and approach. he’s just competitive about the craft of writing verses, rapping. people feel offended by cole’s perspective without actually considering his perspective and his definition of “the best rapper”

Cody Menard

I agree with y’all

Cozymando

We not comparing highlights/verses. In hip hop if 2 ppl r claiming the top spot then its a matter of time before collision. Thats why he made 7 minute drill before deciding he aint wanna “lose a friend” because that was the next step in claiming #1 spot. To go to battle.

Brandon Chestnut

They are more mature

Brandon Chestnut

Worst take you've ever had. Cole let you know he doesn't give af what anyone thinks, kendricks friendship means more than your fandom. He smokes everyone on the track and that's all that matters. Move on

DLuxConq

thats exactly what he means. Everyone just wanna act ignorant

Paul Williams

brain not on

Paul Williams

Thinking realistically, try to find any rap beef where the parties don’t personally attack each other. hard to do, so to say j cole could’ve just defended and not attacked that would not have been received well either

Paul Williams

I truly believe that when Cole says he’s ready to “kill” other rappers he simply means out-rapping them on a track/feature. I think he just means “if we put verse against verse, I will smoke any rapper”

Loic Reviews

So J. Cole is counting is bullets, writting down names and loading them clips, says he wants to go for the throne, but when it's actually war he backs out? I'm sorry but you can't be sitting on a fence and claiming to be this and that. Yes Cole is one of the greatest to ever touch a mic, but he shouldn't see himself as number 1 if he backs out when competition is tough. Drake said "Hip-Hop is a competitive sport" well you can't go for the gold medal and expect to not hurt feelings.

Raheem

Yeah but that’s probably what they wanna do.

Gaige

Please react to Bigxthaplugs new album, as terrance would say, FIYYYYAAAA

James Joiner

Lmao. Evil as hell

bryson williams 9

Yall should diversify the music yall review !!! Most of us dont only listen to only hiphop/r&b. Whole9🏁

No-Look David

A lot of fans have so much more respect for Kendrick just for jumping in the ring.

No-Look David

At this point … I’m waiting for Drake to diss J. Cole.

No-Look David

J.Cole is 100% unaware what “WAR” is … in real life. Drake has been in it since he started. “Hip Hop” didn’t welcome him and he has been fighting and proving himself ever since. Kendrick literally just got the best of him and J. Cole releasing songs with Future and ASAP Rocky while it’s still smoke in the streets. He seems like one of those friends who is clueless of everything for the sake of his own safety. But it’s also weird because he been running his mouth for 10+ years also. At this point it seems like he is hiding who he really is behind his GREAT RAPPING SKILL SET. As fans we have to be aware of this and hold these artist accountable. This has been a wild year for HIP HOP.

No-Look David

It’s hard to take J. Cole serious now.

Meech

Cole fan since day 1, and they are completely right. Some of y’all saying we not listening to Cole we just want the engagement.We’ve been exactly listening to him 😂. Cole for years welcomed the competition through this raps daring anybody to step to him. Now when it’s your chance to shine and show how “ incredible” of a rapper you are and he is great, you don’t stand on ya own two nuts, my nigga. It’s the principle. That’s not a good look. He could have still entered the beef even if you didn’t want to get personal. Let Drake and Kendrick be personal you just battle them with your lyrics then you wouldve gotten more of the respect if you just participated. Drake and Kendrick are grown man they would acknowledge not to get personal with Cole. Now in the beef they taking shots at you cmon now lol. He a goat but this moment will always be a stain

Destiny Simon

i think yall keep forgetting it wasnt supposed to be some dark beef like pac and biggie, he couldve continued to just rap, ken and drake chose to "attack" eachother but cole didnt have to attack anyone he literally couldve just continued to defend himself and his skills bc thats what makes someone number 1

Destiny Simon

dont listen to the haters in the comments, i appreciate yall speaking your truth and not saying what you think ppl want to hear... i agree w yall take on this one, at the end of the day he cant say sht, he had a chance to prove everything he been saying for years and didnt, it was a big 3 battle and he didnt stand his ground, simple.

jalen myers

😂

Kennedy Ruzvidzo

react to ROD WAVE

kidflash B

immature takes lol

Jacob Cooper

He DEFINITELY was talking about Kendrick using bots and everyone ignores it smh. Lame asl y’all may as well only react to kdot lol if y’all gon be biased towards him

$$

It’s crazy we actually witnessed the fall off in real time

Ronnie Cathey

As a Cole fan since middle school I always wanted to see this nigga rap against one of them, we had a chance at both. He chose not to go there, and I, as a fan, choose to feel a type of way about that. He’ll always be one of the greats imo but this is gonna hang on him for a long time.

Derrick 🧟‍♂️

Drake did like the Instagram post when Cole posted this song btw. Them niggas gone be alright.

@Tgoodyy

Truth to truth.. Cole been saying “I wish a nigga would” for years! And the Kendrick turn him into a nice guy.

$$

the grim reaper is an angel tho

Benjamin

Cole 1 year ago "I'm the best I cant wait to for a rapper to try me" Cole now "Why did they try to include me in this beef?"💀

Lane Applin

I think he was afraid to lose truthfully.

Ty

Cole’s version of being the best means killing you on a song like cmon how we don’t get it

Zion

Incorrect. I’ve been listening to Cole tell us how he would kill any rapper that tried him for the past 15 years and when that actually happened he turned pussy.

Jonathan Morris

when Cole was talking about “putting your favorite rapper’s neck in a noose” and “niggas don’t want no smoke” and “counting my bullets and loading my clips” it was not about uplifting people in inner cities, please. that’s as straightforward as it gets. he had no way of knowing of where the battle was headed when Like That came out, and you can tell he didn’t because he mentions that he “understands the thirst of being first” that started the beef, when we know that wasn’t the reason at all based off what Kendrick said on Euphoria. he could’ve rapped, could’ve at least tried to keep it about bars but he didn’t because that’s not him. it’s no one else’s fault that your favorite rapper isn’t the grim reaper he said he was for the last 5 years, don’t try to rewrite history now he’s given it up

bryson williams 9

they need to fr ! X album was hard

Jawahn31

And if he did mention Cole name what do you think Cole would have done ????

Jawahn31

Why would he mention a mf that told him it’s all love his chin out take your best shot ??? 😂😂😂 you just beating a mf while he down at that point

Nate

Where is the dislike button?

Nate

What did Kendrick do? Never mention Cole’s name again

Nate

Kendrick nor Drake has ever said j Cole name in a song and directly dissed him so you want Cole to diss Kendrick cause he had a first person shooter reference in a battle in which he lied about another artists having a daughter and being a pedophile.

Nate

Are you remedial? He clearly saw the battle wasn’t about who was the best rapper it was simply about tearing another person down. Cole is strictly talking about rapping not battle rapping. If you don’t know what battle rap is I will break it down to you. It’s a form of rap where two artists say all typa off the wall shit for a crowd reaction regardless if it’s true or not to win a battle. Cole is talking g about RAPPING. Which is a form of poetry that is used to uplift ppl in the inner cities of an America and show that it’s a way for you to get out your current situation.

Nate

If he really da big dawg and dug up fake allegations for another rapper why not say idc about the apology and diss Cole? You dumb bitch. 7 minute drill is still a song we all listened to. Kendrick never responded. Kendrick also knows without Cole he would’ve never got signed by dr Dre who didn’t gaf about him until Cole put him on

Nate

J Cole is referring to rap you incompetent idiot. He isn’t talking about battle rap go to URL if you want to he false allegations and character destruction. Now go find an artist better at rapping than Cole. You ah real bitch go kick the bucket

Nate

Vibe villa and lost in Vegas had the best, more logical reaction than this. This is a typical I just want engagement instead of understanding what someone is saying take.

Nate

Gotta be under 18

steven nez

Exactly why I like MalloryBros. They tell it like it is even if people are not going to like it. I agree with this one

Noah Bailey

Fax😂

Slattyco

If yall post clips of dis on yall tik tok , that shi gone blow up

Darren Sutton

Pussy lol, he was rapping tho

Jason van der Merwe

Shit I hate the fact that I lowkey agree I can’t lie. I still think that if the beef was solely about the skill of rapping, Cole would have came up on top but I also think that, I couldn’t have seen Cole say the shit that Kendrick and Drake said. That’s my take

Clevalien

is this mal's burner account 😂

Derrick 🧟‍♂️

Drake liked his post to this song on IG btw they still bros

Michael

🤣🤣🤣

Sonny

Cole still deserves respect for tussling with Puff on behalf of K Dot. That was real life and not raps

Zion

Cole so pussy man 🤦🏾‍♂️

Mike Jean-louis

idk why they’re acting like Cole is switching up. he still says on the song “find a nigga rapping this incredibly”. he standing ten toes on being the best rapper. the point is he just wanted to rap, and not attack his homies personally and he saw where this was going

T

Cole is pussy. He’s not representative of the whole

Sway On Da beat

“Ma mama use to make me Mac n cheese.. remember when ma mama use to make me oat meal”- Terrance 😂😂

Taylor

I get what you guys are saying, but what he’s saying about rap is true. Rap was created to speak about shit that was going on and help people who were going through it, then it got bigger and became a different thing, and I think that beefs don’t really tell you who is a better rapper, it just becomes about narratives and TMZ bars. Tracks like forever is where you find shit out, where you had em, ye, Wayne and Drake and see who has the best verse. Or when Dot and Cole did Black Friday, that’s a more accurate way of finding who’s better at rapping. Cole is the 3 stacks of this generation, he don’t want beef, he just loves hip hop and wants to spread a message, that’s what almost every album has been about. With his mixtapes being his talk that shit records.

Kai

Idk man, i think yall were kinda ignorant to Cole’s point, and being selfish as a fan wanting something that’s more than “ bars” cleary as showed in the end.

I’m Back (not affiliated with JB)

Cole is a bitch, Drake doesn’t need his shout out IT’S SMOKE now

Tank Mac2K

I agree with the narrative Everton acting like this was on some Biggie/Pac timing wth the tension when it wasn't. Sides got wild but no ones life was at risk on that level or close to it

Lucas Fiorini

yall need to watch vibevilla reaction to this song, they understand cole and appreciate this, yall just hating cmon mannnnnn yall better than this

Jonathan Morris

y’all will catch heat from every Cole fan on the planet but just know you were spot on 🎯

Crodie

Telling the truth is not hate its facts Kendrick used bots get over it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Tevin Mitchell

I agree with the guys. Love Cole. Always will. But this was disappointing. I’m really interested in what he has to say on the fall off. Maybe he knows that he’s doing. I can only hope so 🤷🏽‍♂️

Izaiah Mata

That careless with rock line was directed towards future j Cole was talking about how futures right hand man is sitting up in a box (Jeffrey) so he’s telling him to move carefully

Genaro Mena

Terrell tried so hard to catch something with the DND line lmao

Alejandro Ocegueda

A lot of yall showing yall age and lack of knowledge on HIP HOP

Alejandro Ocegueda

Pussssssyyyyyy, this is RAP

KJay

Cole is one of my favorite rappers but you other fans in the comments gotta be realistic. Cole been asking for smoke for years and when it was time he back down cause it was his man’s. Cool whatever but then to wait months later and revisit it for what? We got past it and let it die. It’s just disappointing as a Cole fan but like he said I guess he ain’t here to impress a bunch of strangers smh

Mark Watson

Apparently cole respect him like that. He apologized to him on the stage at dreamville fest and said how great he was

Key

You are WAY to angry about this. It’s not that deep lol. And aren’t you doing the same thing your complaining Kdot fans are doing just the opposite with Cole? Relax, take a step back. Maybe then you can take an objective look at the situation. Regardless, it’s their opinion and it’s never this serious…

Isaiah Dewberry

You talking about people riding kdot but you reverse cowgirl on jcole right now big dawg

Lincoln

He didn't think Kendrick was a threat? Why TF he put out 7 min drill then 😂

DrewHuncho

Them Cole fans replying to every comment under here fighting for they lives lmfao

Kiadzo

Because Cole already bowed out and took the song down? Like what is there to respond then lol, Cole was already getting clowned online

Kiadzo

It's not that deep bro, both rappers don't know you exist.

Big

Yall kdot meat munchers don’t understand that yall the only ones that give that much of a fuk about Kendrick and his opinion. Cole simply felt that Kendrick isn’t a FUKING THREAT. Yall Kendrick fans didn’t listen to this song before yall started meat riding. Cole clearly say Kendrick only did da shit to get buzz on his name he clearly says Kendrick was buying bots to swing yall ugly ass niggas on the internet. So if im cole why the fuk would i help give the lil nigga some clout. We see how the beef played out Kendrick won by calling Drake a pedo. That is a Fact. But let’s look deeper the nigga Cole is a better RAPPER the Kdot. Since Covid nobody can debate that Cole is the best lyricist far better than the bull shit that was Mr morale. So if I’m Cole and I simply know that Kendrick only problem with me is that he knows im better at doing Out Job than he is at doing the same job why the fuk would i jump imto a beef with a nigga who we both know is jealous of me cause im better at our Job is crazy. But u divk eater KENDRICK fans can’t see it like that. Your to busy eating up the bullshit Kendrick feeds u all.

Edward Ramirez

It’s mfs like you who make every excuse for Cole lol. Yes Cole raps great, and even on this track he was exceptional. But what he’s saying is bullshit. How tf is he gonna bow out bc he’s too spiritual and mature and not his fight but then turn around and say “i wouldn’t have lost tho” like bro gtf, that shit weak. This shit is rap, mfs acting like he transcends that bc of his character. At the end of the day, IN RAP, if you wanna be the best, you gotta step up when the opportunity comes up to take out whoever is competing with you.

Kris

Those The Questions That Gotta Be Asked And We Need Cole To Answer 🤣

Jawahn31

Why they acting like Cole ain’t been asking for smoke for 5 years 😂😂 he been told us he will put out favorite rappers neck in a noose. Who was he talking about Big Sean? Wale? 😂😂

Jawahn31

“Cole and Aubrey know I’m selfish the crown is heavy. I pray THEY my real friends if not in YNW Melly” yall can keep trynna give Cole that bs cop out. His ass got directly dissed

Jawahn31

Cole apologized and said “bro you can take your best shot my chin out it’s all love.” 😂😂 why beef wit a mf that already can’t sleep

Big

Don’t react to the falloff let dis be yall last Cole video. Because this he’s a pump faker narrative yall pushing is terrible. Just don’t react to the nigga if yall gonna dick ride kdot the whole time

Kris

Totally Agree With The Viewpoint, Y’all And Mal Only Ones Keeping It Real And Having The Cole Conversation That People Who Think Cole Can Do No Wrong Won’t.

Big

The dialogue in the middle where they throwing the cape over Kendrick is cringe. Like damn Kendrick don’t have super powers to make niggas do shit they don’t want too. Yall so geeked on Kendrick yall don’t realize that everyone doesn’t respect dat nigga like yall do

Big

I think I strongly dislike people who can listen to Jcole but still dick ride Kendrick. Like how high are u to think Kendrick is any where near Cole. Jcole roll out da bed to rap it’s effortless. Kendrick been struggling for 5 years now if he not rapping bout politics the kenny verse is trash🤷🏾‍♂️. Just don’t see how players could fix they mouth to talk crazy about Cole. When he’s obviously the best rapper out the 3

Cameron

“I pray they my real friends if not I’m YMW Melly”….. “my first one like my last one it’s a classic”

Cameron

He don’t have to respond to a nigga that quit. Plus he did respond in Euphoria.

Nic

“Yeah, you’re good at the range” 😂

Snipes

He dissed Kendrick saying he used bots and then went back to his friendly vibe. Too corny man

Jonathan Morris

Drake and Kendrick’s beef was about hate, Cole’s could’ve just been bars. his main angle would’ve been that he was the better rapper like he’s always saying, you already heard some of his angles on 7 Minute Drill about how Kendrick doesn’t rap enough and the beef being the only thing making him a trending topic. he can’t talk like he’s still the big bad rapper killer after apologizing in his one beef

FGV

Disagree. Battle rappers oftentimes don’t mention kids and wives. That is almost an agreement made before rap starts. Cole saw both Drake and Kendrick about to dig up stuff about kids and wives and wasn’t about all that

SefaNaiuli

You guys are spot on 💯

Kennedi_Ken

Man fr that part was pissing me off, cause let’s be real. The beef was never about who the better rapper.

Nate

Okay Terrell and Terence. If you guys had a childhood friend that was beefing with another childhood friend would you then pick sides or are you trying to solve the problem so we as friends can move on?

Nate

Imagine j Cole making songs straight bars and metaphors and here go Kendrick and Drake talking about mfs being pedophiles and women abusers 😂😂

Nate

This the most incompetent take I’ve seen from any content creators on this track.

Nate

Is rap not poetry with a beat behind it? This ain’t battle rap lol. Rap is to motivate ppl from inner cities to have someone from the same environment show that it’s a way out.

Nate

I need yall to logically break down how would the beef go if Cole was also making diss tracks.

Nate

Answer me this. Why didn’t Kendrick diss Cole for 7 min drill if he really like that and don’t gaf about their friendship he wouldn’t have gaf and dissed him anyway.

Nate

He was speaking on both artists Terrell are you that incompetent 😂😂

Nate

If I have AR-15 but only shoot at the gun range, is my gun not a deadly weapon anymore lol wtf

Nate

Did Kendrick respond to that yes or no? It’s no so stfu he clearly didn’t want smoke. If he did he wouldn’t dissed Cole directly and he didn’t he kept the focus on Drake 😂😂

Nate

You realize Cole wasn’t directly dissed right lol???

Nate

Quite literally made a song dissing Kendrick in which Kendrick never even replied to. He just said okay to the bow out and didn’t mention him saying Kendrick last album was tragic 😂😂

Nate

Yet nobody has ever dissed him directly. If Kendrick so confident why didn’t he say j Cole name after the feature? He just was like okay he said im good so im not gon say nun at all for him say my album was tragic 😂😂

Nate

Kendrick main goal was to tarnish drake’s legacy. All he was saying was is how much he hates Drake. Please logically tell me what would be Cole’s angle in the battle? Was he going to diss both Drake and Kendrick? I’m trying to hear the logic here. Y’all wanted three to four diss tracks from a first person shooter reference? He never mentioned Cole directly. Just say you want to hear diss tracks.

Nate

How do you know that if j Cole who’s cool with both started dissing? So while Drake and Kendrick are dissing each other here is Cole doing what exactly dissing both Drake and Kendrick 😂😂 I need yall to think logically

Nate

The fact yall care more than the rappers their self is hilarious. Cole wasn’t dissed, a first person shooter reference and quite literally nothing else towards j Cole would make him drop 3-4 diss songs on Kendrick? Or make one and then say im out prior to the false allegations and keep both friendships. Yall want mfs to hate each other. Seek therapy

juixetae

Perfectly said, I don’t understand how people aren’t grasping this

Jonathan Morris

he used to call him “Throne” instead of Cole in every video. he was the biggest Cole guy

Jonathan Morris

Cole says that he knew where the beef was headed but then follows it up with saying “I understand the the thirst of being first that made em both swing”, even though Kendrick admitted on Euphoria that it’s “not about who the greatest, it’s always been about love and hate”. it just doesn’t add up. I’m good without the “..but I’m still dangerous” raps from Cole, it’s over

Jonathan Morris

the only reason they’re saying that is because Cole was talking big shit about killing our favorite rappers for 6 years. if he didn’t do that it would’ve been fine

DK

Y’all been mad cranky lately😭😭

Yeezy

Cole fans in denial

Delvin Fourcand

fr like bro look at things from real life this isnt just rap its not all "just entertainment" like dude they are people with real relationships idk what they dont understand. If that was their man they would do exactly what cole did

Delvin Fourcand

yall like the nigga who sees a dude walking away from a fight and instead of being like damn thats a man you out here saying "Damn he called you a bitch, you gon take that" " if you walk away you a bitch"

Delvin Fourcand

yall wrong for this take its corny of you not to understand that dude is actually friends with both of them. like you would look mad weird for putting out a track on your mans just because people want you to. What i hate about this beef is that there was no REAL BEEF drake actually did nothing to kendrick he tried to work with him fps. Cole is friends with kendrick and drake as well. It made sense that drake and meek was dissin because of the nicki shit but for this whole beef it seems that people are scare to admit it only started due to one mans ego. Cole is not corny for not wanting to beef with someone when there is no beef yall are corny for egging it on still.

No. Literally no mainstream rap beef in history was ever about who was the better rapper

Chris

Bro for the last 4 years cole was literally asking for blood in his raps. Dont pretend

Chris

Fighting over a girl is not remotely the same as this. Terrible analogy lmao. Neither of them is family or best friends to cole anyway. They are peers & acquaintances more than anything

Chris

You cant win the beef if you dont partake/forfeit your stake in it. Aint no “secrets” mfs was just lying on each other. His legacy got diminished with this move as much as i love cole, he gotta dig himself out a hole with a top tier album

Quentin Basil

The nigga said J corny 😂😂😂

Rae

I agree with y’all. Rap beef is rap beef. Neither Kendrick nor Drake have had any less successful of a career after what was said abt each other during the beef. J.Cole had a chance to prove that he’s a problem and walked it back. Now he’s the only one between the three whose career has taken a blow and he has no one to blame but himself…

J Corny

Jonathan Morris

he said “niggas don’t want no smoke, niggas don’t want no 1 on 1s” two days before he apologized lmfao. he goes back and forth between acting like he’ll kill any rapper and playing the peaceful role

Jordan Scott

did the raps and what transpired during drake and kendrick truly show who is the better RAPPER ?

Jawahn31

Bro said he was Ali his ass is a shadow boxer

Justyn Oquendo

J Cole been tired of the game nobody took him by his word when he been sayin this for a whileee. But they all just wanna see blood.

Sabri

I agree, so he shouldn’t have ever released 7min drill, and the continuation of thinking he would win a beef is so played out and tired, ur not that guy, you’ve said ur not that guy and we accept ur not that guy… so stop trying to act like ur that guy LOL

Sabri

People said Cole didn’t go hard enough not because they wanted dirt straight away, because people love push ups and Euphoria, but because we knew that he was straight up lying lol, called mr morale tragic and tpab sleeping music, in a monotone voice, no conviction but we’re supposed to gas it up because it’s J Cole? Nah man, and his response to the criticism of the track and the reason I think he took it down a day later at dreamville fest just confirmed that, he ain’t never been built for this #1 spot he’s been talking about and told us he’s 3rd like 3yrs ago on Heavens EP. Also are we meant to believe that J Cole didn’t think going for the throne would be a messy situation, that was the case for Jay Z, Biggie, Pac, Nas, 50 Cent, Drake, Eminem even had beef at #1 and Wayne had beef with pusha and birdman while being considered the best in the world, but J Cole thought he could No Role Models himself to 1st talking about his feelings… aight Lastly, the J Cole fans which are still saying he could kill both of them look crazy, we get it he raps incredibly J Cole is one of my favorite MCs ever but ur feeding into delusion lol, he’s never been that guy he never will be, that first verse was incredible and I’m looking forward to more of that stuff on ‘the fall off’ which should be his main focus as it was before 2021, making great music people can relate to, this bravado thing is dead, move on

SmoothOperator

To continue with the figure or speech, Cole wanted it to be bros before hoes (the crown). And before it got too serious tried to group them all up as Kings and be able to co exist with each other as Kings of the game. J.Cole wanted them to all to be equals as the big 3.

Alexander Rivera

You can’t use that because Cole wanted that crown as well. kdot called him out on it and now cole tryna play victim

Sabri

I would agree if Cole wasn’t above any of the bs when he was calling himself the best for 3yrs straight, when he called himself the best for years he didn’t think that would be challenged? And when it is challenged like it has been for every other person in HipHop history he didn’t think it was gonna get messy? He saw Eminem beefing, jay z and Nas beefing, 50 cent and Ja Rule and even more recently pusha T and Drake but nah we’re supposed to accept he just was so gullible and only about the raps that he wouldn’t want to get messy… like he isn’t the one dissing Kanye and breaking down his character whether true or not or talk crazy about Wale. Now those occasions it’s cool but when ur in a battle for the throne u come to the realisation that all of this is corny and ur better than it, and u only do it after u get a bad reception from a diss u dropped discrediting someone else’s work (which u didn’t even believe), leaving Drake to clean up ur bs since this is only really happening because you said Kendrick’s name in first person shooter and called yourself Muhammad Ali giving him an opening to shoot at the two people on the song. I just realised this is a whole lot of yap so ima stop but no one in the history of rap has been coddled like J Cole and talking crazy saying ‘I wouldn’t have lost the battle dawg I woulda lost a bro’ and ‘if u refuse to shoot the gun, don’t mean the gun ain’t deadly’ after you’ve apologised saying 7min drill kept u up at night due to the guilt is insane and honestly demonstrates how fake tough J Cole was acting and is still trying to act, it’s just that people can see through it easier now 🤷🏾‍♂️

PyroGandhi

And I didn’t say it, but u do have a point with that schoolboy q point if true lol, I’m a kdot fan as well.. it’s just the whole “emptying my clips” and supreme confidence in not ducking…then ducking in the name of rap is allllll ways gonna look a way to the masses

PyroGandhi

It’s all good lol How come tho

Edward Harris

Facts bro. Like why bring it up again. Beef been over like 3 months ago 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣

Evan Brown

They not gon see it, or the point won’t get across cause it’s not an actual conversation

Shaqwitnobricks

Niggas was pulling up to Drake crib, that shit got a lil OD.. And he responding to Drake cause he lost frfr, and he questioning who his boys are so Cole just saying that,,

Henry

Yall can say he scary for not battling but he still the real winner in the beef regardless of what people say 😂 none of his secrets or nun came out n he still rappin great

Lucas Fiorini

i usually love yall videos but yall just hating cmon man

JRED1018

Cole so fucking corny always has been. And has always used the humble bullshit as a crutch and easy cop out. All that at the end about rapping is about speaking your mind shit is so he’s dick riders can find an excuse to support him because he knew people were gonna hate on that verse about the battle.

Alijah

🤨cmon Kendrick didn’t come hard at all he was just a bridge fr wasn’t even a real verse

J

Cole is the best shadowboxer of all time.

Imagine your best friend (Drake) and your cousin (Kendrick) get in a VERBAL argument over a girl (the crown), you see it get heated. You (Jcole) try to cool it off sayin “come on yall its just a girl “. Next they start swinging both bloody but the viral video shows your cuz(kdot) hit your best friend (drake) with a nasty hook. Kids at school trashin your friend for getting dropped. You wanted Cole to fight family to stick for your friend, and lose a family member or fight your best friend because blood thicker than water? Or stay out the fight and keep a good relationship with both, knowing the 3 of you will never hang out again.

Alijah

Yes and no they just rapped on each other’s beats they gotta do like how Cole and Benny did

Myron

black friday technically

Jordan Scott

they have an issue with drake giving j cole love on stage 😂😂😂 saying he could smoke him in a battle. why? why is that what triggers in your head when you see 2 legends on stage showing love to each other? 2 niggas that have NEVER had an issue with each other, he’s trying to little bro him on stage 😂😂 . exhibit A of niggas being niggas.

Roberto Ayon

Great song I just agree with their point of view

Kennedi_Ken

!!!! Cause obviously it’s not about rap with these niggas. It’s no point in arguing with the bros, they on bs

Kennedi_Ken

You niggas just like the mfs on twitter, missing the point. I wish I was in the room to really explain ts to yall 😂

Marcus Hammock

Cope

SmoothOperator

They acting like Drake and Kendrick beef was a lil scrimmage and wasnt that serious like gtfoh

SmoothOperator

Terrance being loud becuz he always hated Cole, he finally had a hill that he can spew his hate as criticism when Cole didnt want to ruin his personal life

Jaylon Gaines

Pussy lol

Jaylon Gaines

Pussy

SmoothOperator

Niggas wanted him to be in the beef for entertainment when deep down in it would’ve affected his personal life.

Kennedi_Ken

Fuck yall take all bs, love yall tho😂

Jordan Scott

before watching this vid.. terrell sat in front of the camera and expressed his disdain for the beef between kendrick and drake and recent beefs in raps becoming more about a “red button” & drama than about rap. part of the reason why he took drake’s side during the beef is because he favored actual rapping over the drama that social media has made more important in rap beefs. YET when cole has the SAME issue and he’s actually dealing with people he knows in real life he’s a BITCH. the shit makes no sense. this whole shit has been hypocrisy from every party involved: drake, kendrick, cole, the fans. shit was never about the raps it was bout being entertained.

Junya

He done out rapped drake on 3 different songs they had together.

Kouyen'dou N'Da

And guess what, when it came time to prove he can outrap anyone, he backpedaled, just cause he can “rap good” doesn’t mean SHIT when it comes to being the best in the game. People under twitter replies telling you to check out their music rap good, doesn’t matter doesn’t equate to a deadly pen.

DC G

Look up American Dream - young Jeezy ft Dot and Cole Why you “hate j Cole” that’s wild 🤣

Junya

That’s what I’m sayinnnnnn. He can’t win either way you look at it. There’s no way that see Cole going that low and the wholeeeee rap battle mofos was waiting for the “red button” of some petty ass tea. And that’s Cole’s who reason for not wanting to be involved in that shit. Either way it would’ve went Cole would’ve went out losing

Kouyen'dou N'Da

So I Cole should have stfu for the last 5 years talking about he’d kill any rapper and how nobody want smoke with him, he was spewing that shit for HIS WHOLE CAREER. Imagine a nigga telling the whole world he would beat any nigga up and his nobody could touch him, he even saying that about his friends, then he goes to decide to throw a light punch and when the opponent decides to throw haymakers, he backpedals and says “I never really wanted to hurt y’all, I just wanted to spar, that’s all” like get tf out of here with that shit.

JRome

Yall call this man a pussy and bitch as "fans" but also say the fans didn't want blood and dirt to be thrown. Opinions, I get it but I disagree.

Malcolm Elliston

I really hate how niggas are saying “We just wanted rap”. That nigga Cole dropped 7 minute drill and niggas were saying he ain’t go hard enough. By the end of the battle Drake is being called a pedophile and Kendrick is a domestic abuser so how can niggas be mad when Cole gets word about the heights Drake and kdot were gonna take it and decides to bow out. He’s literally friends with both individuals which is clear on 7 minute drill because he called GKMC a classic.

Marcus Hammock

Calling a nigga a bitch because he don't wanna diss friend of 10+ years is crazy. Anyone should know that if the two were to beef then it wouldn't stay hip hop. Beef is literally who can say the worst shit. Very distasteful from terrance to call another grown man he don't know personally a bitch because he won't do what terrance thinks he should. Pride is the devil smh

Michael H

I wouldn’t lmaoo wtf I would diss that nigga again

Von G.

“I’ll put your favorite rapper neck in a noose” -J. Cole He got cold feet, and contradicted himself. So this reaction is warranted. Plus, Only a lame ass nigga would say that they wanted “blood” from this battle. At the end of the day, he called himself the GOAT. And as the GOAT of Hip Hop, if someone disrespects your pen, you’re suppose to defend that title and Rap. Simple as that.

Marcus Hammock

Yea Terrance calling him a bitch is crazy because that's real easy to say through a screen.. wasn't a fan of that

Dev

I get y’all point of “was it really gonna get that bad?” But you also have to realize these are grown men. Once you reach a certain status AND a certain spiritual level internally some things you are not going to allow yourself into. You have to realize we do not have all the information anyways lol. We can assume all we want

Alijah

The only way cole needs to smoke a rapper is on the same track he did it with Drake twice and smoked him , kdot and him ain’t ever went head to head on a song that’s how you determine who’s the best not releasing songs back and fourth

Michael H

Cole fans stop crying they right lmaoo

Alijah

Everyone and their mom knew this battle wasn’t going to be just rap we knew kdot and Drake had real beef so if Cole came with just rap talking abt he the best whole everyone dissing y’all wouldn’t respect it you’d say it’s week cmon mane

N Smith

If you and your 2 friends were MMA fighters and everyone saw yall as the 3 best fighters in the world. You might want to prove your the best through an exhibition match. But if you got a call from them and they told you instead of an exhibition, we're fighting to the death. You might back out. It may look like a weak move to the uninformed public. But you had inside information on where it was going and you didn't want to be involved. What's wrong with that?

Drew V

right, of course, but he can never call himself the greatest or “mohammed ali” again

Baz

But at that point in time only like that and 7 minute drill came out which both Kendrick and He was just keeping it rap. They could’ve rapped at each other in that way. We already know Kendrick and Drake have deeply rooted hate and that’s a story within itself.

iceissayas

yall forget J Cole human just like us lol bro prolly got cold feet and felt he went way in over his head and decided to back out of the beef. Sure it’s an L but don’t act like we ain’t all been there before where we bit off more than we can chew.

Khalil Ali

It’s getting tough to watch these Cole reactions as a fan😂. I ain’t like him dropping out either and I still don’t, but I grew to respect and y’all refuse to do that. My nigga can’t say anything without y’all talking bout how he ducked smoke. Terrell view of Cole fucked up forever and Terrance just hate the nigga more now😂. And calling another grown man that you’ve never a pussy or a bitch cus he ain’t do something that you wanted him to do or cus you disagree wit what he’s saying is insane to me.

Dre

No such thing as a friendly rap battle. It always turns personal/ugly at some point. That's just how it is and Cole didn't want to go there with Kendrick cus they cool.

Zhariah Maxwell

Enjoyed this reaction video. Very Very Real !!

Dre

No such thing as a friendly rap battle. It always turns personal/ugly. That's just how it is and what a lot of people were asking for(not me).

Moses T24

Blame drake for that coz in Euphoria Kendrick warned Drake about going to the personal route and he didn’t listen. Also Kendrick vs J Cole would have been an actual rap battle compared to Drake since they actually have respect for each other.

Marquis

i fw y'all heavy, but fuck...you lost the plot w this one. sound like twitter niggas lol. maybe chill on the cole reacts or sum

Marquis

THANK YOU

Herc

Lmaooo i was gonna say… and nobody said kendrick was running from that smoke

Marquise

Drake & Kendrick beef was never about who the better rapper is , it was 2 niggas who don’t like each other tryna shit on each other character & kill each other career. Cole only wanted to keep it rap cause he cool with both but they weren’t, that’s why Schoolboy Q told him to leave it alone.

Kendall

Bruh he is literally out rapping them in the song. Lmao

Joakeim Celestin

Song still fire af

Zae

Yea i agree wit dis one here... everyone (even dem) was waiting on this red button to be pushed and if i remember correctly, in the beginning of the drake n dot beef one of dem were saying rap battles nowadays aren't determined by rapping ability but by who has the most tea... they even used the duppy freestyle and story of A. as an example so I'll admit it was kinda weird seein them say it wuda just stayed rap.. maybe at a different time but not with drake bein involved, especially after dey just performed on stage n did songs wit each otha.. it wuda been a 2v1 fr.. the only way I see it bein just rap is if they were all coming for each otha equally on sum who's number 1 type shi

Antonio Nino

But when it came time to OUT RAP, he went and apologized on stage, he’s a walking contradiction, Everyone knows Cole has the ability to go toe 2 toe with the best, he just doesn’t, He’d rather talk about it then do it

Alex Sempervive

Not really agreeing here tbh. Yall/everyone wants people to move on but wont move on from Cole backing out. Idrc anymore, dude can rap

jimony cricket

The evil twin 😂

JRome

Maybe I'm just a fan of Hip-Hop more than others but one of the most unique things that happened with an artist. Something we've never seen before and we DON'T want to hear him rap about it, huh? If he didn't rap about it people woulda clowned him for not addressing it. But the biggest thing is if Cole and Kendrick could control the narrative I think they would've went back and forth because they could keep it rap. That wasn't gonna happen and anybody with a working brain could see that social media and people like Ak would've made this a beef instead of a battle. You can say you're the best and mean it but not wanna participate in the circus that could happen to prove it, the best don't mean battling to prove it for me and ima battle rap fan lmao. I can listen and hear ain't many rapping better than Cole regardless how you feel about the apology.

Kendall

Mane shut up. All this man is saying is that he’ll out rap you niggas without all the other shit but the only thing you niggas care about is the other shit

TriggaWolf95

I’ll be honest, if the battle was just MC to MC I might agree with you. But social media being involved changes the entire dynamic. We watched it happen in real time. It turns a “lyrical exercise” into a gladiator pit. Online twitter stans “thirsty for blood” ruined the whole thing. It wasn’t about skill in the end.

Druw Richardson

I’m not saying that it’s already been done. I’m saying he wants the ability to collaborate with them. Hell he just did two tracks with Drake and out rapped him (First Person Shooter & Evil Ways) The only other man we can put in that camp with Cole to collab with is Kendrick so I could see why he wants to keep that window open and not lose a bro

Leon Johnson

There was nothing to be worried about in this situation regarding Cole Kendrick asked Drake if they keeping it rap or getting messy drake CHOSE messy why are there so many accuses for a rap battle not beef just a lyrical exercise its very confusing

Leon Johnson

What tracks have the best rappers been on together he be killing random B list rappers and I Love Cole but we acting like he just be on tracks with the greatest ever and destroys them

TriggaWolf95

"My friends went to war I walked away with all they blood on me" Cole's was name dropped in almost every song throughout the beef, which WAS a bloody one figuratively. Kendrick and (mainly) Drake's reputation are forever changed because of the accusations they threw each other. Y'all downplayed that part heavy.

Erton Wright Okeke

This might make niggas laugh lol… I’m walking back what I said 😅🤣🤣😭😭😭

Mohamed Adam

Cole does not like Beef, when he talks bout being the best it’s in featuring, in killing rappers on they own songs, hasn’t he proven that already with his feature run and his status as “feature King”? But everyone only seems to think that he can only prove he’s the best if it’s in a beef with a nigga, when we saw how beef isn’t even about bars but about a war of information and toxicity. It’s about “who can go lower than the other”, Cole ain’t never gonna be part of some shit like that. 7 min drill was hella friendly and yet he still felt it was out of his nature and took it down….

Vitória

i agree with everything y'all said, im VERY tired of J Cole acting like a saint this year, when HE is the one acting like he wants the smoke for years now..

Zen

21:49 I knew Terrance was gonna go off on these bars😭😂😂

Rossetti

I'm not talking about any individual lines. I'm talking about the sentiment. We all understand the connections made with wordplay that makes a bar creative. That's light. It's another thing to understand what is actually being said. I just feel the beef clouded their ability to fully grasp what is being said in that 2nd verse. I agree there was a way for Cole to engage in the beef and I would've liked to see it. I just think they misinterpreted some things in this video which led to opinions that aren't totally valid.

Leon Johnson

When was this ever a rap beef why are we even using the word beef it was always a battle and it for sure was only that on the Cole Kendrick side.

Kamal Williams

I also think J. Cole getting on features frequently is him showing up to play/fight in his mind. He never ducked features for sport. I think that is a lot of his bragging when he’s like I’ll rap with anyone. Beefing for no reason is something different in his mind.

Trill_Trill06

Knew yall would feel like this lol I understand it tho and respect it

Omari Hicks

At the end of the day Cole is right. Kendrick made great points about Drake and the industry at large but at the end of the day, rap beef not good for anybody and Cole knows that don’t hate on him for knowing that, no one has to die or get hurt for beef to be a bad way to spend your time cause it ultimately always is. We say rap is a sport fine, but beef is different than just sparing like with battle rap. Rap beef is real, and it’s war. Cole’s allowed to bow out of a war and talk/rap about why without y’all essentially coming up here and saying “either go to war or shut up about it” like that’s not how it works lol. Love y’all boys though keep the grind up loving the content

N

read the title and thought "Ohhh GOD" in terrence voice lmao

Marquise

Perfectly said 💯

Omari Hicks

Y’all missing it for sure. Love to both of you but it’s clear to a lot of us that there’s nothing Cole could have done that would have satisfied y’all; but be destructive like Kendrick and Drake decided to be. Cole said “nah I’m good on that” then simply is now rapping about why he did what he did which he’s allowed to do because….hes a rapper lol. Cole’s allowed to have said in the past that he’ll smoke a nigga, and then change his mind about doing that, mature, and rap about it, end of story bro 😂. He’s allowed to do that without y’all telling him to shut tf up and don’t rap.

Erton Wright Okeke

You’re right; I did miss that part. Secondly, it was Kendrick’s camp that asked Cole to step ASIDE. Meaning Kendrick was on a different type of time and energy and wanted to focus on killing that nigga Drake. This is coming from a KENDRICK fan. I have always had KENDRICK over COLE. This is not a Cole stan trying to save face. My frustration comes from the MANY reactors completely misinterpreting what is being said. Trying to ignite something else.

kidflash B

Y’all trippin

Edward Harris

This was my exact thoughts when i heard this shit like wtf u talking about bro. Some pussy ass backpedaling shit if i ever seen it 🤦🏾‍♂️ All we wanted bro to do is rap against these niggas THATS IT. Fuck allat other shit he spewing lol. Happy go lucky ass nigga.

SeQuan Jacobs

My BIGGEST issue w cole is…. STOP MENTIONING THESE NIGGAS IN GENERAL! Like got damn we get it u a fan of these niggas… most of us are too. But nigga u more fanned out than the fans, are you god tier or nah? Every time he on stage w Drake he gotta do this lame ass aww you the greatest shit w him. That shit always made me cringe after the 1st time seeing it. Fuck dat nigga!! & fuck kdot too!!! When it’s time for cole world that’s what tf it should be… COLE WORLD! Like gah damn! We already knew how u felt about the beef u didn’t need 2 revisit this topic. I still think this song is fye & a breath of fresh air but we didn’t need that. & cole is definitely a gun he just 1 w no firing pin 🤷🏾‍♂️ s/o 2 him tho & I hope this the last damn time he mention this shit or these niggas!

Adrien Bucha-Moore

Was the battle about who was rapping better? Or who had the most dirt? I think that’s what he was saying. He wasn’t willing to dig up dirt to win the battle. Because tbh the battle did not contain much high level rap it was just shit talk

Marc Sr.

Respect y'all reaction, but his thing has always been he's the best MC. He doesn't want to engage in what "Beef" battles result in. He considers both Dot and Cole a friend. Rap beefs historically don't go well, even if no one is harmed or shot. Friendships are normally ended after. He wants to murder them on a track together not battle them. He's always said this. In Sticks N Stones: "Nigga don't want no smoke with me, I'm one of them ones Hop on a song with whoever, I ain't duckin' no one-on-ones" this is not the sentiment of someone wanting to battle and trade personal insults. We as fans may want that, but that's clearly not what he wants.

Jray

My issue is how did yall believe these podcast niggas had behind the scenes info on the disses but Cole didn’t? Cole prolly seen the angles Drake n dot were takin n realized this shit wasn’t bout rap fr. They seemed to have hate for each other when Cole never has. I lowkey hate Cole was ever involved in this cuz it’s clouded Terrell’s view of Cole n just grew Terrance’s dislike of him. We can’t even enjoy the tracks that don’t mention the beef cuz yall can’t let the 7minute drill shit go. It’s still 9 for life but man these Cole reactions gettin hard to sit through.

PyroGandhi

And you completly missed the point when they addressed that part. Kendrick would’ve never lost respect with Cole because they are JUST RAPPING. Just because you are competing against someone doesn’t mean you lose respect, in fact you gain more respect for going toe to toe. Yall make it seem like Cole is out there physically hurting Kendrick or one of his friends…they’ve been brothers for decades…this is what RAPPERS DO they spar. Just because your in a rap battle doesn’t mean he would have to call Kendrick a domestic abuser, that only happened between Drake cause them niggas actually don’t f with each other

PyroGandhi

Lmao dude you are on their Patreon paying for their videos. I think it should be the other way around 😂

Julius Witherspoon

I love both you niggas! But yall wrong on this one.

PyroGandhi

What line deserved to be broken down with depth? Ngl Cole’s flips and metaphors have always been solid and refreshing esp in this time of rap, but the content/message and what he’s trying to get across has not proven anything to be going crazy bout. Once the line has been deciphered I’m not sitting there minutes later pondering on it because what he gets across using them is pretty surface level

Elbin Alomar

Honestly, I get that rap is a competitive sport but after all the petty stuff I don’t want to hear Kendrick, Cole or Drake beefing, I’d rather hear them just make great music we all can relate and vibe to and collab with one another more. I’m glad Cole is focusing on making great music and I’m fine with him being braggadocious in his music it’s what all rappers do since the beginning but that doesn’t mean he has to actually go back and forth dissing another rapper especially if the only competition is his boy, maybe to him he’s like I’ll rap against anyone else but not my boys, and I respect that.

Bryson Jones

Agreed, Cole a bitch and I’m his biggest defender. I can’t defend this pussy ass shit

Darius Mapp

Listen to songs like crunch time, 3 wishes, sideline story all of them are in this same lane. This is who J Cole is in essence as an artist and why he’s so relatable to people who are a fan of him he is real and speaks honestly. Even tho people don’t like what he did he’s still gonna stay true to his beliefs and friendships and is speaking from his perspective and I respect it.

Tupukas

he walked away from the only battle that wasn’t about rapping ability. let it have been only rap, he would’ve 100 percent battled and you know that.

Druw Richardson

I feel like y’all just don’t like the fact he ain’t fight back. Y’all just don’t like his heart with it. He values his relationship with his peers over the competitive nature of beef. His “outrapping” was never about BATTLING it’s about outperforming them on a track and y’all just don’t like it. Y’all like some hungry wolves around some hate in the rap game and J Cole just not banging with that and that’s cool. Maybe his art is so personal, he performs in his art like how he actually is

James Joiner

See how the evil twin tried to paint another Kendrick negative picture? OVO nigga. Terrell your biased is showing again.

Samuel Mock

I do understand what yall are saying tho. Cole in his documentaries talked about “he’s still gotta say some of the ignorant shit” for fun and because he does believe that to an extent. The whole world tho is absolutely going to take your word for it so in that manner he fucked up. His pin has always been like that sure. But something flipped in the last 4 years bc dot hadn’t dropped and Drake was not near him in his opinion that he really started the goat talk. He never should’ve done it. Not bc he can’t be but saying those viscous lines about killing the game was just a face

Kamal Williams

I think it’s ok that we don’t like his decision. We all wanted to see blood and that’s unfortunately baked in the sometimes savage nature of competition. I really do think Cole would have been ok with rapping until he saw that him just rapping wasn’t gonna cut it. Post The Story of Adidon people only want smut and salacious material. 7 minute drill was not received well at all in big part because of that. I think he just wanted to rap bur the people tuned in wanted a lot more than that. That doesn’t shoot him bail, but I’m not harping on his decision at this point. I get him trying to navigate that. I think he did it the best but who are you to say you would have done better when you’ve never sat in the seat 🤷🏾‍♂️

James Joiner

Yall missed the Durk “Lil Durk”, Smirk “Smurkio”

Zeek

he's literally saying he's not in it, and why he's not in it.

BoogieKaZamm

I never said it makes them look #1. You brought up those topics. All im saying is, Cole talks shit a lot but never backs it up when it’s time. He still good rapper.

Marcus Hammock

Video was almost unwatchable because yall seem hellbent on seeing this through one lense and one lense only. Claiming that it would've been just rap but we have seen yall and the timeline only gravitates towards the messy shit in the beef. The most memorable shit in the whole beef was the accusations, not the bars. And that's on WAX. "I'm not sure this will be enough" "I'm still waiting on drake to press the big red button". Shit was about who has the most dirt and not rap and I'm not sure why you'd want cole to even align himself w some shit like that

Keelan Chambers

But he said he just wanna rap, these niggas fighting for number one by just saying one a pedo and the other beat on his girl. That’s not what makes a mf #1 imo

Notty

This right here!! Scotty spittin

Notty

Lmaoo it’s crazy how this goes over they heads

jaaden

were they hating or just calling him out for contraction or hypocrisy ?

Samuel Mock

Cole has kinda been vulnerable and been open about mistakes before anything else. So this is the realest ever lol

Notty

☝🏽 facts

Notty

He literally said he should’ve kept this. That’s quite the opposite of enjoying. Retracts everything he said up until talking about the beef

Mack Nichols

The KD metaphor was perfect

Jermiah Germain

They enjoyed the whole first half of the song until he addressed the beef and that’s fine

Jojo

so he told him to sing on American Dream with Jeezy too huh ?

Jermiah Germain

They are simply holding him accountable for his past 4 years of “goat talk” that’s all…they just think you can get be a goat of hip hop unless you got a chink in your armor

Jojo

nah fr , Terrell swears Cole is his guy but he stay in Drake dick 🌚 it’s no way you a Cole guy & you don’t appreciate this track 💯 Terrance been hating on Cole for years so I’m not surprised

Marvin Amankwa-Dei

He doesn’t wanna compete though. There’s great NBA players that choke in the finals

Rossetti

I swear yall be missing the whole point. S/o to yall for giving lyrical rap a platform but the breakdowns have gotten weaker over time. Respectfully.

Kreative

Im not even mad at yall take. I get it. I was also upset and confused for like a week after Dreamville Fest. Id be doing regular shit and think "I can't believe Cole did that". But I got over it 🤷🏾‍♂️. This song was necessary, people wanted to hear what he had to say and wouldve been a louder complaint if he just skipped over it and didn't address it. I dont agree with your take, but I get it. Looking forward to the Fall off. Back to Storytelling Cole. I feel like that was lacking since he started this crazy feature run where its been more about killing whoever on the feature.

Evan Bulliner

I said the same thing lmaoooo. It’s over with fasho after this one lol. It’s a heavy, heavy bias.

Dlo615

I’m with Terrell I don’t think Kendrick gonna fw this

BoogieKaZamm

the problem with all these Cole fans seeing in the comments… he keeps saying he’s the best but when it comes to proving it, he walks away. If you’re gonna rap, rap! Nobody is saying he’s a bad rapper, he just don’t ever prove he’s #1.

Emmanuel

Huh? Make it make sense bro, lol. They not rappers. Music review competitions?

Marvin Amankwa-Dei

J Cole is the most skilled lyricist out of the big 3, but Drake and Kendrick have more heart and have a greater competitive edge

Emmanuel

Track fire, message weak. That’s all.

Marvin Amankwa-Dei

J Cole= KD

Leonard Acolatse

That's "actual beef" though. No one just keeps it rap. Rappers gatta go low because the fans don't care about bats they care about the dirt and insults way more. In my opinion a real friendly fade is getting on a track with each other and trying to get the better verse

Krysten holman

Drake did it first in push ups mentioning Whitney just like he did first with push T mentioning Virginia Williams. He clearly has a pattern in all his beefs he just wasn’t successful with that strategy in this one so saying Kendrick wouldn’t have kept it rap when he warned Drake twice before meet the grahams is disingenuous

Keeshon Patrick

I recall my favorite reviewers and podcasters hopping around to the energy behind 7 Minute Drill…

Dundee Mifflin

W reaction. The song was pathetic imo J Cole either need to get off this “woe is me” mentality about this beef between dot and Drake. Either you in it or you not bruh there is no in between. And since you decided to bow out, don’t be in it. Also he has to know, doing the “I’m the best ever raps” will come off terrible to the crowd as well at this point due to him tucking his tail. Love Cole been listening to for over 15 years but man this victim mentality in his songs lately is annoying

Johnny Sensei

I’m a die hard fan of J. Cole and I am 1000% biased towards him. Yall spoke the truth & I will never admit it in public lmaoo

Sonny Thomas

1000%

Noka Videos

Everyone loves Friday Night Lights, The Warm up, 2014 etc. those songs weren’t heavy braggy about his pen. It was just real shit (like this song) and that’s why we fell in love with him. Couldn’t finish the song because he’s rapping about real shit lol

Zay

I agree with Terrence, Cole is a bitch and a pussy

Noka Videos

lol yall don’t want to have fun

Noka Videos

I can’t believe y’all don’t care that he didn’t want to lose Kendrick or Drake as a friend of 15 years lol The masses would not have given a fuck about a PG13 battle between cole and Kendrick while Dot is talking to drakes son on a track and calling him a pedophile. So for them to just rap battle on the side seems dumb af.

Chelsea Talifer

I decided to come to the comments first before I even watched the reaction….your takes on JCole have made the reactions to his music completely unenjoyable since the “beef” happened. Maybe don’t react to his music anymore if you’re going to be bias and not enjoy good music.

Erton Wright Okeke

I see SO MANY reactors if not ALL of them severely misinterpreting this line… “I wouldn’t have lost a battle, dawg, I woulda lost a bro/ I woulda gained a foe…” What Cole is saying here is that win or lose, I would have lost something FAR MORE important, which is the relationship I have with Kendrick. He is not at all saying that he would have won. He is addressing the fact that MANY are saying and have been saying that he backed down because he was scared and knew that he would have lost. He is saying; “no, no, no, no I would not have just lost a battle, I would have lost my brother in the process of that as well.” Y’all need to read more and practice critical thinking as well as subject and sentence comprehension. My God! Also are we forgetting that on behalf of Kendrick, ScHoolboy Q spoke with Cole at Dreamville Fest and ask Cole to step aside. Because Dot was on a different type of time and energy with Drake that he did NOT and DO not have for Cole?!?! Of course we are!

Lawrence

The track is 🔥… This J Cole being the best version of J Cole . Yeah they are some lines like ni$$a come on bc the are hindsight. Y’all just going keep killing him until he drops a classic album bc Cole be dropping Supa heat this year with Features and now this show of skills. Y’all will look back regret not appreciating this display of bars . Cole showing & telling you he a Monster at this ! Yeah he is more KD than Kobe

RiversRizing

You missed the whole point of their argument. Get off your stan horse

Jawahn31

Terrance been right about Cole for 6 years now 😂😂 Cole never wanted them problems fr it’s ok. We know you’re the free and humble guy 😂

Darius Mapp

This is probably their worst reaction to anything smh. They completely didn’t get it at all. Just cause they still hung up on some beef. This is who J Cole has been his whole career and I thought it was a great song.

Mike Jean-louis

I just don’t get how yall don’t see when Cole is saying he the best its abt rapping. when he saying he’ll kill niggas, he saying he’ll out rap any one. and he’s still standing on it “find a nigga rapping this incredibly”. what dot and drizzy did was try n expose and embarrass each other. the only real back and forth rapping we got between them was the michael jackson flips but everything else was narratives. what cole gone say when drizzy calling dot a wife beater and dot calling drizzy a pedophile. what was he posed to say? and both these niggas his friends

DeVion

Rap and hip hop today thrives off negativity. Someone like Cole who plays the big bro role isn’t going to be liked at all because he’s the middle man doesn’t want to be involved in all that. He literally just wants to rap….

Josh Harriott

I just finished the wire… i understand tht reference lol

Derion Calloway

At the end of the day Cole telling us he will always do what he wants. He still going to be considered one of greatest to do it. I feel like he accepted his L and now we waiting for the fall off 🤷🏾‍♂️

Daniel Kwamou

WacoSwa

Bro can we not reference that “big d” bar from family matters like ever…😭💀

Chad Killey

Yall never gonna like another Cole drop. Like some high school girls holding onto drama

Jordai Lewis

Not the tinder notification 😂

Zion Horton

The troubling part of j cole is that he started off on a “side” per se so I could see how it is challenging to rap beef about being to best to Kendrick while not giving the same smoke to Drake. He was in weird spot. However, he should have still went to battle.

billy

I agree.

Joseph Nichols

Thank you!! Hip hop was founded on unity. This competition narrative is tired

Micah

Real J Cole fans are just listening to the music and not over analyzing every song.

Leonard Acolatse

What does Cole be doing that's slimy ?

Joseph Nichols

I’m scared to watch this cause I know it’s gonna be the last straw for me when it comes to their takes on J.Cole 😭😭😭

Eric Adams Jr

yeah I’m happy af he dropped this loll

Micah

Y’all aren’t real J Cole fans. Y’all care more about drama and headlines rather than the real music. J Cole won’t be around forever and y’all are missing out on great music by over analyzing tf out of it

Leonard Acolatse

I HATE how people want Cole to "beef" with Kendrick while he's going through it with Drake. Kdot was not going to keep it just rap 😂. The worst thing Cole did was respond 🤦🏿‍♂️

Maxaveli

Kdot better respond to this. I woulda won head ass

Matthew Warren

And I had to double back to my original post because saying this didn’t get messy is the dumbest shit I’ve heard from terrance and I can’t believe Terrell just agreed. Everybody has their own opinions but we shouldn’t have to debate whether or not accusations involving kids or DV is not the definition of a MESSY situation that creates more conflict. And I feel like the reason that they are saying that it wasn’t “messy” is to just water it down to show Cole that “Hey it wasn’t that bad you shoulda participated” type shit just because you wanted him to. it’s pretty disingenuous IMO

Micah

Schoolboy q told Cole before the beef that it was going to get messy. That’s why he backed out

Micah

Two things can’t right. People did enjoy the beef because it was entertaining but you can also admit that it did go too far. J Cole has always been humble and has stayed out of beef, so he stayed true to himself

ACEDaDon

Nahhhh ya dont get it

Micah

Terrence is just a j Cole hater so anything that comes out of his mouth shouldn’t be taken seriously

Micah

It’s because they too focused on hating

Khirey Carr

He was told by ScHoolboy Q what was about to happen at Dreamville Fest. How do you not know this now?

Rey'von Warren

I really think people making this shit way more complicated than it needs to be. Drake and Kendrick were clearly in this “beef” for totally different reasons than Cole was. Drake and Kendrick were ready to literally assassinate each other’s character in the most public way possible and that’s simply just not something Cole wanted to be associated with. Everyone wants to say Cole could’ve just rapped and he would’ve been able to stand on his own above it all but that shit literally would’ve been over shadowed by every single accusation that both Drake and Kendrick made. Yes it would’ve been amazing to see Cole just stand on “being the best” but this whole situation was not about being the best at all, it was about exposing the other for not being who they claimed to be. Everyone would’ve just been confused as hell as to why Cole was even in the middle of it

Matthew Warren

Maybe you right Kendrick will respond. But from everything we got from the Drake and Kendrick beef and everything in the last 3+ years from Cole, Cole might cook him if he responds (he should).

Reggie Gordon-Arnold

I agree with you guys partially. The problem is though that yes maybe hindsight is a hell of a thing but everyone knew that if drake responded to kendrick it was going to get venomous from both sides because these niggas have not liked eachother for a while. Cole on the other hand you can argue he should have took part in the beef to "just rap" as terrell said but if 2 niggas are shooting at eachother with intent to harm and cole is just rapping with no personal shit, kendrick fans and a lot of people in general are gonna be like "why is this guy here". It made zero sense for cole to be the third in that battle when he's not going to get personal. Saying "now I'm at the top he wants it with me" isn't the same as saying "he likes kids" or "he beats his wife" we forget the extent at which this beef went and how people look at drake and some look at kendrick after the beef. So I don't blame Cole for dropping out because he has been saying he will kill everyone when it comes to this rapping but let's be real, the beef wasn't determined by who's rapping, it became about who had the most dirt so I think his points are valid, despite myself being pissed at the time that he apologised.

Erwann Towa

The third eye bar was crazy because it was also the hate in both drakes and Kendrick’s eyes but he’s the third and he turned a blind eye

Erwann Towa

But the thing is he dropped because schoolboy q (Kendrick affiliate) told him to step down cuz of what was gonna happen so he in fact was correct because he genuinely is both of their friend he wasn’t gonna name drop one of their wives or call one a pedophile or saying one of them beat each others wives he would’ve actually lost a bro just for the sake of some bs that’s why at first he was down cuz he was keeping it rap but it clearly wasn’t that

Brandó

I respect Drake more for stepping into the Gulag with Kendrick and Co. but I can't say the same for J. Cole

Notty

Cole dropped all that fire just for yall to over analyze tf out of all the beef talk lmao. At this point there’s no reason to even listen to his music if you not finna enjoy it. Terrance talking bout he should’ve kept all of it. Lmaoo don’t listen then!!

Milkman

J Cole is just too mature for yall at this point. Yall so focused on the rap game when he’s focused on life and peace

Matthew Warren

Damn I didn’t even think about that. Good ass point. They definitely contradicted themselves.

pyramidscheme

i feel like the most frustrating thing about cole right now is he really is rapping better than anyone else, but he's boxed himself into a lose lose situation by responding to Kendrick then backing out

Eric Adams Jr

I agree, I just think the climate of hip hop now praises jealousy and spitefulness above all else, which was highlighted this summer, we can’t go back now, this is what beef is now no matter how much we say “it’s just raps”, we always gonna want to see them take it farther, we hated on Drake for not putting out the diss on Pusha even though he said it was going way too far, we’re the messiest fan base there is lol, the art gets lost every time

Dontae Roye

Do you expect ramen to taste like Italian Pasta? If you at an Italian restaurant, you are gonna want the quality to be matching the expectations.

Dontae Roye

Lol okay

Dontae Roye

Agreed but he told Kendrick to sing for Forbidden fruit and didn’t include his crazy verse? Whenever they are on songs together Kendrick is melodic and Cole is rapping. I hate Cole so much I can’t wait for Kendrick to bring up the truth.

Dontae Roye

I agree but my issue is I think Kendrick dislikes Drake but HATES Jcole. Cole is slimy to Kendrick and you’d have to hear about how certain songs come together to understand why Kendrick was upset about First Person Shooter. Kendrick is gonna attack him before this year ends. I’ve heard some stuff Cole be doing

Dontae Roye

They caught it

Dontae Roye

It’s always been like this. Competitive. Jay started beef with Lil Wayne simply off jealousy

Armando Lucero

He stepped out before the rap battle even started tho 😂

Ebone Mccloud

I’m just trying to understand why did they tell Cole to fall back it’s not really about him if he’s the one that mentioned Kdot? That’s why I feel like this was an orchestrated beef & I also feel we got this track now because Cole see the media attack (especially the pedo ish) on Drake & probably feels guilty because if he NEVER mentioned him on the song, we wouldn’t be here… I also feel he mentions how Drake did stuff for him on here & not privately is because now everyone saying he’s a bad friend + I think he saw that video of Drake making the speech about real friends & just wanted to let him know it’s no love lost on his end…Now we just got to wait n see what comes out of this

Armando Lucero

I hope Kendrick disses this cornball, him rapping like could of would of ain’t it lol

Kya

If someone would have told me in May that all 3 of them would release songs post beef about their feelings post beef and Drakes would be received the best I would have called you a liar… I’m not mad at this from Cole though. I think he definitely picked a side cause he sent what felt like a few of shots at Kendrick. Even him talking about his upbringing and showing how similar it was to the upbringing people were criticizing Drake for having. I do think Kendrick is too much of a clout chaser to not respond so we’ll see what happens next

Tracy Williams

Big facts

Eric Adams Jr

and tbh if Cole stepped into the ring with that mentality he getting rinsed anyways, and Cole my goat but Kendrick thirsty for that top spot

Eric Adams Jr

I think he speaks to every angle, whether you agree or disagree, I just don’t think he can thrive off this new era of hip hop, negativity is the only thing that pops now, Cole always been positive/inspirational/motivational vibes, I get people not liking it but he had to address it before the fall off

Big Ray

I don’t think yall fully caught ball till you fall sit on the bench=jail bench from getting careless with rock = crack

Brandon Frye

We also heard American Dream. Who won that? Kdot ducked smoke when he heard Cole's verse 😂. No way he could follow behind that. Took the safe route and did the hook lol. Regardless, both of those eras were no where near Cole in current form. You can't HONESTLY say to yourself that what you hear from Kendrick today would win versus what you hear from Cole. Be honest lol. Swear on it lol.

Brandon Frye

Good catch. You peeped it.

Matthew Warren

My main thing is I’m not sure what niggas wanted Cole to contribute to this beef. Cole was gonna be rapping about how he the best while Kendrick calling Drake a pedo and Drake calling Kendrick a wife beater lol. To say this didn’t get messy is off to me even if it’s all rumors

Chulo

Cole has said repeatedly, get on a song with me & I’ll smoke ya favorite rapper & he’s been doing that for years. He ain’t ducking smoke ever. BEEFING ain’t the ONLY way to prove whose the best MC smfh

XJ.

4th time over these past months I've had to make a post saying: WHICH RAP BEEFS WERE GREAT THAT DIDN'T GET MESSY?? Keyword great. (No Joyner and Tory Lanez). Y'all can't convince me a Cole and Kendrick competitive rap beef would've been fire and would've worked in theory. I've analyzed every hypothetical scenario and it wouldn't have made sense. But aye we'll never know man. My thing is y'all so certain Cole and Kendrick "beefing" would've had certain results is insane. Especially when I feel a lot of things about the beef are still unknown and bts.

Brandon Frye

Yea that's why I said Cole in current form he's ducking. But on those two tracks you mentioned, Cole talked about them specifically in an interview and said how you should never give Kdot home court advantage. He already recorded his verses and he just sent the tracks to Kendrick and didn't think nothing of it. Then Kdot put verses on them afterwards. So kdot was able to hear what he had already created. But ironically just like you, those two were when I started rocking with Kdot too. But since then notice how Cole has never put himself in that position again. If it's track they are on he's gonna give a verse that no matter what Kdot says he can't outdo. I think Kdot senses that too which is why I think he's ducking. American Dream with Jeezy, Under The Sun, and Forbidden Fruit on Born Sinner all for sure. And rumors that Dot was supposed to be on FPS. But I'll leave that one out for speculation.

XJ.

I agree with you with everything except the Kendrick ducking smoke on a feature with Cole. Back in 2010 being a hard-core Cole fan, hearing Kendrick on Temptations and Shock The World is when I knew I fucked with Kendrick feeling like he had outdone Cole on those ones. Sidenote: That situation might've been a Kendrick (feat. Cole), so I guess he should've done more than Cole on those tracks in theory but they both killed it nonetheless. Sidenote 2: IMO both of their Black Fridays were equally leveled due to their respective Instrumentals they chose to rap on.

DC G

Y’all ain’t understanding. J Cole is ready READY for a rap battle. The dot and Drake battle went waaayyy further than a pen battle. Cole was down to go bar for bar. They were digging up each other’s skeletons, crossing lines, etc. And j Cole knew where it was going. Drake and dot got borderline corny. Wouldn’t be able to participate without dirt

Lee Ferguson

Lol yall make me laugh. You appreciate future and that trash ass polutski track but flame Cole 😂😂

jaaden

surprised they didn’t catch the dead presidents sample

Q

Doubling down on an apology is crazzyyy

Jean-Marc

Cole is both their friends but still jumped in when it’s been public knowledge they hate each other for 10 years if Drake or Kendrick did what Cole was doing EVERYONE would kill them WORSE

XJ.

Muhammad Ali = The Greatest

bigloo

You guys cooked yeah Cole is a yapper

Bougie Flagrante

Sheesh 😂

Ronald G

funny how the cole fans are coming in here just to disagree with them lmfao. they made 100% sense and i totally agree.

Jyn The Jedi

Cole was the only one if we go back to before push ups dropped to keep it rap. 7 minute drill dropped and he was just rapping, still spinning that but I think he thought it really was about who raps the best until he got that call which made him apologise cause he realised the agenda was different from Kendrick.

Brandon Frye

Then y'all use the narrative of "This just comes with the genre, you didn't invent it, you gotta follow the rules". Since when was hip hop founded on beef? Yea some goats in the past beefed... and some lost their life. But that's never been what hip hop has been about. Plus y'all weren't using that narrative when Kendrick dropped "Watch The Party Die". Where was the talk about "This is the genre you signed up for. This what comes with it. You didn't invent it. You don't get to control what it becomes. You gotta play by the rules"?

__

You twos third eye definitely blind. The same niggas that Cole talking about.

Brandon Frye

Y'all tripping! Here's the thing that confuses me. Y'all say he can never say "Oh I'll kill a nigga on features, I'll kill your favorite rapper, etc." But yet HAS HE NOT BEEN DOING THAT for the past 5 years??? And it's not just pop or trap rappers. He got the better of guys like Daylyt, Benny, Royce, Drake, Joyner, Wayne, etc. And Kdot has been ducking smoke every time they hop on a record together... he's failed to rap and only doing hooks. Cole CAN absolutely say he'd kill your favorite on a track. I got a playlist of about 30 or 40 features and songs of him doing it. Y'all want him to beef with somebody who he has no real issue with and a friendship with. It wouldn't be "just rap" as y'all say. Drake and Kendrick will never reconcile after the allegations and things that were said on both sides. Especially if you bring my family up in front of the world. Some people have integrity. You disrespect my kid or girl in front of the world, ain't no "just rap". If y'all want to see who's actually the best then someone tell Kendrick stop ducking smoke and actually rap on a song with Cole.

Neva Quit

but it’s different when it comes to cole because there’s nothing that u could really say about him that’s on the level of the allegations drake and kendrick were putting on eachother, it would’ve been more about the bars

Truth

i think what they saying though is what exactly did Cole see? bc at the point of him backing out nothing of real offense was even exchanged by Dot or Drake yet.

Rdgo

I did Brodie. In the apology at the festival he says “I can see where this is about to go…these niggas want blood” of course he didn’t know the exact accusations that was going to be said but he knew it was going to be very very messy.

Jordan Piper

I think Cole always felt and still feels like he can outrap everyone. I think he realized, “Oh, these niggas hate eachother and are going to be messy. Let me take my rapping ass outta here because it’s deeper than rap.”

Kameryn Clewis

To be fair he apologized about it and deleted the song

chriswavy

& the thing is too, you showing love to niggas months after you collabed w niggas who calling ya brother a pedo , why it take so long for this , right after the beef nigga talm bout its grippy

Jordan Piper

“Since ‘14 Jermaine is no king,” is a reference to the 2014 Forrest Hills Drive track, “Firing Squad.”

Jordyn Hendrix

I agree with yall 100%. Seemed like Cole was trying to play a damage control angle because from the beginning of the beef HE messed up his rollout for The Fall Off. bro should’ve just stayed quiet, OR at least stand on what you did/said in 7 minute drill..

Rodie Beats

Exactly. I'm sorry, but Cole had no dog in this fight. This was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay deeper than rap and he was alerted to where this was heading and realized he wasn't on that wavelength. I can't believe the internet still holds him backing out against him as if hindsight doesn't help us see that Drake and Dot weren't just rapping to see who had better bars, they were rapping to end each others career.

chriswavy

I gotta disagree with Terrance man, niggas got called pedophiles & CASUAL niggas who not gon do the research truly believe that he’s a pedophile , they was both saying crazy shit, Cole still acted like a hoe cause it wasn’t gon get like that for him

Junie Bee

🎯🎯🎯

Michael Delgado

Terrance saying the beef didn’t really get that messy when Kendrick was out here painting drake as the next diddy lmao insane

Misslady

J Cole full of it HE KNOW THEY DONT LIKE EACH OTHER. He is the only one who reference the Big 3. You coddle drake but be passive aggressive with Dot 🤷🏿‍♀️ AND for the record we listened to Black Friday and there was no way in hell on this earth you was washing Dot in a battle 💯

Daniel Rojas

Nah y'all 100% right. People in the comments talking bout "Cole is right because drake and Kendrick took it too far" are the same people that was loving every minute of the beef and accusations, and getting Not Like Us to the #1 spot on billboard. Y'all coping to make Cole keep his humble image instead of admitting he fucked up.

Reda Zaher

Did cole forget he made 7 min drill?

Terrence mixon

Damn I fw yall but I couldn’t disagree more lol good track to me

Top Shotta

Did you even watch the video... incel

Gurjivan Minhas

I love j cole but Terrance’s art vs person comparison was on point, damn man would’ve been a sick battle

cam floyd

Maybe Cole had some dirt drake and dot would’ve brought up Cole didn’t want spoke on. Maybe that’s truly why he backed out

Tristan Ingram

I feel like people took Cole’s throne talk too direct over the years because from his music I always interpreted Cole as the guy saying he can push the red button if he has to but doesn’t feel like he ever needs to since he feels like his spot on the mountain solidified

Evan Brown

Clock it

manny

real af

manny

they literally mention that cole walked away before all that bs was said. at least finish the vid before commenting 😭

Wess

Agreed💯💯

chriswavy

FUCCIT, the game is the game , nigga shouldn’t have went in the booth & did that shit if he was gon backout

King Dean

Y’all both said that Drake and Kendrick basically went with the narratives online to sway things. You also said yall just wanted the raps….thats not what took place. How is Pedo allegations “not that bad”? The labels had to pull the plug on this beef.

Shay

Literally told the homie that rapping about why you bowed out a rap beef is hilarious

manny

they’re not, cole walked away before those accusations were said

Scotty

“We wanted yall to just rap” THAT IS A LIEEEE Because EVERY single track yall were asking for a big red button. Yall were asking “is this enough?” Yall even SAID nobody gonna really care about the bars it’s about the dirt they got on each other. Kendrick my favorite rapper, but we need to keep it a buck, this was NEVER about rap. Because I guarantee you, if J Cole stayed in it, people would’ve either not cared or said he lost because he had nothing substantial to say that could hurt the other party. When he said he “knew what was gonna happen,” he was referring to how he was tipped off by SCHOOLBOY Q that the beef was going to go left and get extremely personal. Niggas started talking about pedophiles, bastard children, etc. When Cole says he got a loaded gun that’ll kill anybody, he means purely in rap ability. Simple. Come on man it’s disingenuous to assert that people honestly wanted to hear J Cole just rapping and showing off his skill. Neither one of Drake or Kendrick’s tracks were that lyrically impressive given their catalogues. This was never about skill.

manny

undermining “retards” w “Lol.” lol

Michael Delgado

Literally lmao drake and Kendrick’s beef wasn’t competition it was personal beef they had with one another but people wanna ignore that

chriswavy

🍿,much as I have always fw’d cole he need to just disappear after the fall off, he did all this shit to himself & he’s the only nigga who’s ever mentioned the big 3

manny

also think they misunderstood “my friends went to war, i walked away w all this blood on me.” cole talking bout the outcome of the beef

cam floyd

Cole is saying that he knew that it was gonna turn into that! He was saying that since the beginning. I feel like y’all are refusing to understand what he’s saying. No matter if it was just rap or what this battle would’ve ended in torn friendships

Josh Tedeku

I think in the end the guys that are angry about this are the guys that wanted bloodshed. That wanted Cole to actually kill these guys directly. And that’s fair but you gotta acknowledge that’s how YOU took his words. Me personally whenever Cole talked his shit I was never thinking 1v1 battles I purely just took it for I rap better than anyone and I can jump on any song and prove it ability wise so I was never truly disappointed when all of this happened.

Denver Watkins

I think He Can understand the “thirst”without sharing the desire to partake.

Wess

Nxgga Terrance said, with a straight face, “I don’t think anything that got said was bad enough for Cole not to defend himself”. Like bruh😂😂

Josh Tedeku

For me even though there is an element of rap where people can go head to head and alla that, I think it is possible to compete for top spot just by letting the work do the talking. You guys bring up the “wrath of the reaper” line and I mean it’s exactly what he tried to do on first person shooter he showed up on drakes song and killed that shit but also without it having to get bloody. It’s like what Jay did on the Love all verse. I don’t think you can find me a Cole line in the last few years that specifically alludes to saying I want to rap battle these guys. He’s just stating he’s the best and can out rap them and that can remain true without bloodshed

brian w

Excuses

enzinho

💯

Wess

It’s funny hearing Terrance & Terrell, speak on this so unintelligently. “We been hearing Cole say he’d kill a nxgga for years” - yes. He’s been saying he would kill any rapper at rapping. He never hinted at doing whatever it may take to do so tho. He found him in a situation where it was clear to him that what it would take to make good on that promise, wasn’t worth whatever he stood to gain. Since when has rap been calling nxggas pdfs & woman beaters, lying about nxggas having children/the paternity of their child, picking on the molestation of someone, etc. bro?? Y’all standing on bs because “I wanted to see the battle” lol. I’m not rocking

Truth

i took him saying “Jermaine is no King if i gotta pay bots” as a shot at Kendrick for sure. When i hear King i think King Kunta which then feels like a KDot reference

Tre g

Terrance absolutely right! This the rap game, we ain't playing checkers

Jaso

Then why make 7 minute drill? It’s pussy. How you punch someone and then say you don’t wanna fight before they swing back?

Josh Tedeku

I think this beef was always meant to center drake and Kendrick. It woulda felt weird to have all that personal shit happening then Cole just 3rd wheeling tryna take real rap jabs when that shit is really not what the world wanted from this. They wanted blood as he says in this track. Cole is 40 with kids man I think it’s okay for him not to want to waste his peace and energy at this point in life on some petty beef shit that could do unrepairable damage to some relationships he holds dear. Even in 7 min drill the line that sticks out the most to me is “My text flooded with the hunger for a toxic reply I'm hesitant, I love my brother, but I'm not gonna lie I'm powered up for real, that shit would feel like swattin' a fly” like from this alone we can see he backs himself rap battle wise but doesn’t want it to go over board. For me personally it wasn’t a suprise that he backed out after hearing the end of Trae the truth in Ibiza and 7 min drill. He laid it out all there and owned his L. But with the L came a personal victory for him clearly that maybe we aren’t meant to understand.

Cease

Chill lol don’t do it

Don

Both of them used bots

Benjamin Kohan

its been like this for months loll

Wess

“You didn’t say yo, this shxt getting too crazy, I’m out” bruh😂😂he said “y’all wanna see blood, I see where this is headed, I want no parts because I’ve been at peace & that’s not what I wanna align myself with”. I’m paraphrasing but you nxggas gotta stop acting like Cole hasn’t had the same stance since he got on stage & said “we taking that shxt down”. He’s been consistent. He called the shxt getting outta hand.

Benjamin Kohan

on god

Chris Cade

Y’all are right. The gun with the pen illustration is perfect. We as fans had his back in the fight and our fighter dropped out. We said cool but it’s time to stop talking about it

Don

Cole sounds very naive to it all which makes me think are you really friends with Dot and Drake? Or are u just saying that

Kennorris

OZZY

The beef was never for him really. Drake and Kendrick have been beefing for 10+ years. Kendrick and Cole have never beefed before

Ro

Calling someone a pdf is putting your life at risk.. its beyond rap atp… thTs like someone accusing u of r4pe.. why yall taking that so lightly?

Josh Tedeku

I think a lot of Cole’s best talk and I’ll kill ya favourite rapper talk is purely coming from a place of I can rap better that you but no further than that which is a line everyone could see was gunna get crossed. And I mean honestly I think if they tried him earlier like Middle child times or any time before that I think he woulda been involved but I think now is just a time where for him it’s purely about rap and he don’t wanna damage no relationships by any means especially so close to retirement. He says it in most of his interviews in the last couple years, he’s at a place now where at the twilight of his career he wants to join forces with all the top guys before he leaves so he has no regrets when he leaves and that’s what first person shooter was meant to be if kdot did it but it all just went left and I don’t think he was prepared to do the most like they did in the beef. Cause let’s be honest not kdot and drake ain’t gunna be cool at all now there’s barely any hope for that.

Bougie Flagrante

Terrance twitter wasn't put on properly in the description. It should be @spiketeejoint not @twitter

OneDai🦈

i just think yall ignore the fact the Q told him he shouldn't get involved. It's not like he never dropped a response or anything. I think everything yall said is valid though.

Mark

"want some attention,it come wit extensions" Cole wasn't ready with those bars but I wouldn't want to see Cole go low like kdot and drake did,to be honest.

Herc

There’s a big difference between BEEF and COMPETITION. J cole been competing by putting out the best verses, lyrically, out of the 3 in the last few years. That’s how he got here. Competition in hip hop is about who can write the best verse and better bars. Not some wild personal accusations to get schoolyard reactions. Just pure BARS!!!

brendon M

THANK YOU!!

Zebo901$

Cole lost me with this one. Competition is competition. He didnt have to get personal nor do I think Kendrick would’ve went there with him. Drake opened that door on himself. Still fw Cole but just give me the fall off and stop commenting on this situation.

Rdgo

Y’all are wrong, Drake and Dot didn’t rap, they accused each other of vicious crimes. I think if it was friendly rap comp. He wouldn’t backed out, but callin a nigga a woman beater & a pedophile ISNT…rap.

Raymond Wright

This song is like a sour patch kid. It’s heat and make you do the stank / sour face, but once the sour wears off, you realize Cole’s lyrics are sweet. The beat and vibes of this song need to be gritty and gully through and through. I agree 100% with Terrance. This song is a stretch. Cole was talking big talk prior to “Like That” dropping. Cole is not known for going low and the only reason Kendrick went low in the 1st place was because Drake mentioned Whitney. If it was all 3 of them going head to head there would be no reason to go low with Cole, because Cole wouldn’t have had bars to invite a “not like us” type response from Drake or Kendrick Cole is talking big raps and hiding his rhyme book. This is a confusing song to listen to.

brian w

Jcole is 🐈… period. You got a golden sword and don’t use it when it’s war?

Abdullahi Farah

Tbf drake would never bow out of a battle. I give him that

Juan

This song hard and y’all misunderstanding the point he making. Also Terrance tweaking when he said that Drake and Kendrick didn’t say anything that was that bad. Oookaaayyy 🤓 J Cole wanted this to be competitive NOT PERSONAL. That’s why he backed out. A rap battle with beef and a rap battle two different things fr.

Jacobi

Best song to come out this year

Jacobi

👎🏽

Jacobi

So jay z can’t be the goat cause he got WASHED by nas or because Cole has values and morals he can’t be on the throne when he’s rapping FAR better then either of them niggas

Jayden24

I also firmly believe even if Kendrick outrapped J Cole, if Drake bowed out Kendrick would not be in that SuperBowl. Its not that Kendrick proved he was the best rapper, its the way he came at Drake and his influence over the culture that made the beef so huge

Lou

How did cole know that??? He legit did his own diss track 💀 if he knew they werent gonna keep it "rap" he shouldnt have said anything at all

JayJigga

put yourself in his shoes, how would yall feel if niggas lying in front of the entire world saying you a deadbeat, your girl cheating on you, your kids not yours & you a pedo? Niggas wanna speak on real personal shit and not keeping it strictly rap. Can’t really blame him but I do think he rap better than both them niggas he would’ve held his own

Omar Farouk

He said he didn’t want to lose a bro and y’all are disagreeing. Do y’all think Kendrick and drake can ever shake hands again after this???? I agree with Cole!!

TimmyG

Facts. Idk why people thought Kendrick of all people needed bots anyway. Never understood where that narrative came from

Josh Tedeku

Naaa Ion agree with these takes man 😂

TC24

Nobody cares…unsubscribe, the realest 9 we’ll still be here enjoying the content

Georgia's King

Niggas talk all this mature talk then get salt y when someone actually lives that mature life smh. Niggas want to see blood so bad.

Jayden24

Absolutely agree with some of it. I get J. Cole wanting to bow out bc of the beef shit and it really isn’t that unreasonable for him to get leaked information just because of how much was leaking from Drake’s camp. I won’t rule that out as a reason. But yeah bro, if J. Cole just made 7 Minute Drill type raps and just went in with his pen he wouldve looked like the best rapper regardless of what Drake and Kendrick were doing. I truly believe Kendrick vs Cole would’ve gave us some incredible music, but K Dot vs Drake gave us better moments. I understand completely why Kendrick leaned so hard on Drake in the beginning for that reason

Stephen Lightfoot

Yall overreacting so much man. This shit went wayyyy beyond rap and you trying to downplay it, if you two friends are on wax calling each other scum of the earth then you not jumping in Also ScHoolboy Q text Cole that it was about to go south and that’s why he bowed out. You not even on with the facts here

Jay Rock

He probably means he knew because Ab Soul had tipped him off about how dirty the beef was finna get.

Aaron Elam

End of the day Cole realized what it really would’ve took to be the king. He thought he could just rap well or out rap you on the same song and that would speak for itself. But once the fans said 7MD was too friendly he was like nah I’m out then. I also think School boy told him what kinda music was coming.

Kiano🇩🇴

Been a Cole fan since 08, and when I tell you apologizing was a bad look it was, and still is. This track is fire, but he shoulda just kept 7MD up. The only thing I will push back on is that Cole did get a call from School Boy Q AFTER droppin 7MD. What was said we’ll never know but I feel like that had a lot to do with him bowing out. But at the same time the “I woulda lost a bro” shit kinda makes no sense cause your “Bro” said fuck the big 3, its just big me. I think where Cole became overwhelmed was not being seen as a good guy in the public eye. He spent years building a good rep about being the good dude that can rap, that is also cool with everybody. He was going to end up being the bad guy in many peoples eyes - at least from his perspective and that didn’t sit right with him. We can say Cole and Kdot coulda kept it rap but considering what Kdot ended up doing to win vs Drake who knows lol. Feel like it also coulda gone sour ultimately if they went multiple rounds. Cole still my favorite rapper, I just can’t put him up there as the top guy in the “who’s better than who” convo

Mando

Knew this was coming from the thumbnail lol. As a die hard Cole fan I’ve come to understand both perspectives. Like it would’ve been different if he wasn’t asking for this moment in previous raps and us fans were ready cause you going against top rappers no better comp but then again he been that humble shit has always been this nigga. It’s just why say something to begin with never should’ve dropped 7 min drill. Respect the reaction 9️⃣

Sev

That battle between Drake and Kendrick didn’t prove who the better rapper was it just proved who made better stories and could lead the crowd better sway the vote the art of rapping took a backseat, Cole claims to be the best rapper and inserting himself into a battle riddled with hate and back door tactics in order to discredit the opponent is not a contest of lyrical skill and I don’t think that’s what j Cole wanted to be a part of. If you and your boi decided to slap box cause you said you could knock him out then he start trynna break your arm or pulls out a knife out of desperation for a victory is not a battle of skills anymore it’s an assault based off who has the better weapon aka all the “wow factor” smoking guns Drake and Kendrick tried to pull out neither of them went straight off bars Drake had the Pharrell chains, whitney ring, gkmc van, all this extra shit, Kendrick had the glove, the ozempic, the daughter, the pedophile, all extra shit. It was never about bars so why would Cole allow himself to be swallowed by a contest that strays so far away from the skill he’s claiming would give him the victory, (actual rapping) it’s a losing strategy he wasn’t willing to sacrifice his integrity for a battle he knew was gonna go much lower. Could he go bar for bar with both those men? Yes. Was it about that in the first place? No way by the end of it no one even remembers the bars or the skills displayed just the topics and the low blows.

Aaron Arrington

Gotta unsubscribe ngl

Michael Rodriguez

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Marcus Hammock

Ion see how two niggas of Cole and Kendrick stature could battle and that sht not go too far. It’s the nature of rap beef to try and say the most disrespectful shit

Mark Zavala

Lmao why are yall so hurt? are they not speaking facts about the j Cole situation he really dipped out the battle lol

Santiago99

Really good take

Genaro Zuniga

I appreciate your guys point of view, I personally loved it top to bottom but I like the analogies you guys made to help explain why it wasn’t the best song to some people. Always fire reactions 💯

Jay Cross

THANK YOU everyone forgetting the comments they was making about Drake and Kendrick about each other for the next steps of the beef not realizing these niggas ain’t care about traditional morals when it came to rap beef it was who go the lowest and shit which had they affects STILLL mfs still believe Drake is a pedo and Kendrick is a woman beater who tf wanna have any of them labels just for getting into rap beef hoping it’ll fair and not messy for twitter niggas and reputation

Alex wixted

Crazy i didnt even really look at this shit the way yall just did and i think youre 100% right. He did do this to himself and is trying to blame the hip hop fans for wanting him to do it lol. Love cole though excited for the fall off

Jaymee

He was saying it about the man who had salamander porn bots under every tweet that spoke positively about Kendrick imo

Just_Gwen

I said on other page that Cole wrote Drake a love letter and sent Dot a passive aggressive sticky note. Man Cole just give us the damn Fall Off bro!

Junebug

That title. Say it ain't so many 🤦🏾‍♂️

Valério Esteves

anyone who says otherwise is just not holding Cole accountable.

Jay Cross

I disagree man cause we are FANS we don’t know shit when it comes to this but this nigga cole gots to get a pass dawg cause yes he would’ve lost the bro had he went PERSONAL like both these niggas did to each other EARLY 7 min drill was the friendly I’ll smoke a nigga In comp not the the gun that was so deadly it’ll ruin relationships but he felt that Kendrick was gonna look at 7 min drill AND push ups as personal disses coming at once OBVIOUSLY Cole got a hint of something that the beef was gon be some else WHICH ENDED LIKE HE SPEAKING ON both these niggas don’t gaf bout first they was doing personal disses

Valério Esteves

nah bro yall right. I agree with everuthing yall said. I hate the fact that cole keeps acting like the battle between him and dot woulda ended up as bad as drake vs dot. Not only that, but as you said, the only reason we all wanted to see him battle is because he been saying all of that “im better than ur favourite rapper “ shit and now he trying to pretend like he didnt…

Jacobi

Idc what no nigga say this better then every song to come from that beef and Cole easily the realest one if u don’t like this u need to look yourself in the mirror

Sean Smith

So why did Cole say that?

TC24

Battle rap is the definition of a sparring challenge…no bloodshed after any of those shows and they get way more disrespectful in person

Kireeti Goat

Hahaha this is the worst take. It’s very clear that Cole realised that this battle was going to get personal and possibly destroy families. If it was a different sort of beef about to come out then he’d be in

TC24

I knew yall wouldn’t glaze this like the rest of the world…we all know Cole can rap but this shit was weak and not needed

Omar Farouk

Terrence……maaaan……

Cee Money

Damn I agree with these niggas man😭 song fire tho

Just_Gwen

Ya'll bout to get dragged to hell and back. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cole definitely reshaped the narrative on this song but that pen is still elite.

Stephen Owens

Honestly I rocks with Cole since day 1! But dawg J Cole should’ve just never spoke on the beef again. You not getting props or stripes for almost fighting. Almost doesn’t count.

Beezy

It's so simple to understand..I don't get why you can't just accept that he didn't want to go at his homie. All this time and y'all still hold this same thing over him.

Chaz Carter

I agree and disagree I think if it was stictly about the pen he would have engaged but he seen it was personal and was like nah that aint it. I think its just grown man type shit for real

Johnny Soul

Terrell you said whoever goes the lowest will win. Do you really believe that they would have been cool if they took it far like Drake and K Dot ?

Jaymee

How you niggas keep tryna put this bot shit on dot, like we haven't seen for the past year -- Drake pushin the Pusha T salamader bots, and the Kendrick bots immediately when the beef began is beyond me. Yall don't got a single example the dot "using bots" other than Ak fat ass hoppin on stream with a fake ass "bot expert" who lied about getting paid by people. Y'all been on youtube too long to not know how the view/like counters work...

Jay Xo

yall can’t knock cole for his perspective.. are we not acting like dot & drake wasn’t just throwing smut on each other name? that’s what happened everybody saw it. if cole felt the right thing was to do was not get involved then dats how u just gotta accept his perspective. he was just tryna show he was better lyrically.. not gossip

Marcus Hammock

Yall just thirsty for beef do yall forget this nigga fought puff in defense of Kendrick?? There’s no such thing as a “sparring challenge” in rap. Either u tryna end a nigga or not. So ion see why he would beef w kdot

Jessin C.

The issue for Cole was it never stays just rap, Terrell, so he removed himself

KX.P

ay and kdot switched up fr.

Cyng

I like that you’re still giving him credit for his bars 🔥

KX.P

NIGGA COLE WENT INSANE FAM. And he stood on real shit, fuck the beef fr, it went past hip hop thats why he left

Sebastian

Couldn’t agree more with that last sentence. The idea of hip hop and “the culture” has been muddied.

Lou

Cole was on his "the warm up" sht first half n i loved it but then he went and talked about sum no one cared about anymore at least from him💀

green

is it not hypocrisy for people to call hov the goat after he got washed by nas in a rap beef, but when j cole amicably bows out and maturely values his relationships, he’s corny and no longer at the top? i feel like there’s a disjointed perspective on what hip hop is at its core and what fans want it to be in 2024.

JT1

Negative Nancy’s
