IMO the line “I wouldn’t have lost a battle, I’d have lost a bro” isn’t any bravado. It’s not Cole saying he would have won. He’s saying if he’d have gone in, it’s not a battle he’d be losing, it’s a friend. Basically there was no way to win. No matter what happened he would have lost.

That's fr a great point. Many aspects of the music industry don't care about the struggle of artists, black and otherwise but are happy to exploit them for every penny they have then toss them aside when they're no longer wanted.

Beside that, talk about it with friends, that will, afterwards, also go check it out.

J. Cole had it coming. He was NEVER about being bravado, but the fans literally BEGGED him to start talking shit, and he tried to please everyone so he eventually fell into that trap. The greatest thing about Cole is his ability to admit and learn from his mistakes, that’s the realest shit you can do and why his music will always hit for me. I will always support him. And to be fair, he had one hell of a situation, the only line where he got cross fired from Kendrick was the “Mf the big 3, it’s just the big me”, which is still friendly competition towards him. He definitely should have addressed it that way if he wanted to respond, but his immediate respond was to aim low, critiquing KDot’s album and lifestyle. If he really wanted to respond he should’ve just talked shit about him being the best in another song and that’s it, all of this would’ve never happened because KDot was still aiming for Drake’s head, not Cole’s.

Did you notice the song starts out with the sample vocals pitch shifted up like a children are singing, and at the end they’re shifted down as if it’s an adult choir. Big difference between Cole then and Cole now. Back in the day a juvenile mindset, no life experience, no wisdom, and at the end he’s become a man. He’s grown and has attained years of wisdom. I think this competes for song of the year, message alone.

Kendrick highlighted many of the teachings of The Bhagavad Gita in 616 in LA with expressing his moral dilemma of knowing his dharma is to fight and defend his family and legacy but also recognizing the negative karmic implications he’s sowing by going to war. Something his soul is still clearly wrestling with in Watch the Party Die. LaCrae sharing his two cents about what Christ would have done/has done. And Cole showing the world what that looks like in real time. This is the most conscious rap beef in music history and I’m here for it! 🔥

The music video in the intro is looking fire

[@DJLegend16]

Knox at 27:00 you explained it perfectly. This is exactly what I’ve been saying the whole year. YOU DONT HAVE TO BEEF TO BE COMPETITIVE!!

[@ThaDogfather_YT]

Cole is the coldest out fs...this for everybody hating on his apology. That man relationships are worth more than yall opinions

[@prepaidtrash5552]

But he says he wouldn’t get beat, can’t say that while bowing out lol

[@obsessedwiththegreatness]

​​@@prepaidtrash5552Because his friendships ain't worth the empty approval and glaze from people like you who just wana be entertained. That's not even the point he was trying to get across. He literally explained people like you in the song. Bro wants to live life and keep his circle clean. I'm a KDot fan mainly but damn, y'all glazers be saying anything, make it harder to be a KDot fan. 💀

[@Micisme86]

​@@prepaidtrash5552you lack comprehension skills if you think that's what he was saying

[@openworld6337]

​@@obsessedwiththegreatness who you calling a glazer? You JUST J COLE GLAZZER WITH KDOT PICTURE BECAUSE J COLE knows that's his daddy.. he got son... LMAO.... Out of 3 kendrick is far superior... j cole always talking like he's ali but I knew he wasn't 😂😂

[@prepaidtrash5552]

@@obsessedwiththegreatness lol you will look so deeply into his lyrics to find triple quadruple entendres and then ignore when he says he won’t be beat

[@user-fc4nj6pp7g]

Dude knows his shit. He could explain any hip hop song . Good review. Dope song

[@richmarine83]

The sample is from Dead Presidents and also Cleo Sol.

[@vher1988]

Always the best breakdown! Layers upon layers

[@LeryUnfiltered]

It's a bit of a diss to the reactors, podcasters, bloggers, etc. You all profited from the beef, but kept saying it's only hip hop. No street shit. No violence. He's also saying you guys try to analyze but don't understand shit.

[@gergo2944]

But Knox Hill legit is the best. He’s breaking down albums like MTBMB by Em and Kendrick, Nas, Jay songs. Others are shit yes, but Knox is a real one

[@lestonb]

they’re just doing their job what are they supposed to do ?

[@SIMPLYGROOT]

You’re right that’s probably what he was saying! But on the other hand it doesn’t really matter. These reactors and podcasters that do this. Help people understand the art. Not the culture now all the other bull crap but the art. Because that’s what it is it’s art. And a lot of the artist think the reactors and podcasters. to name a few Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Tom MacDonald, Russ, Post Malone, kool-Aid. And that’s just the name a couple. I’d like you to say that about no life shaq. And Stevie Knight. You know honesty I don’t know if you were just trying to let him know that J. Cole was spitting that or whatever the case. But either way, the reactors are doing a great job and they do help and people do like it or they wouldn’t have millions of fans. And a lot of the Artist wouldn’t give a shit. Of course someone’s gonna diss them if they take sides with another artist. But I don’t think any of them took sides. I believe they react on who does the best and gives their two cents. 🎉

[@LeryUnfiltered]

@@SIMPLYGROOT my commentary is about Knox, Shaq, Scru, all of them, even The Company man and What’s the Dirt. All of them. They all profited from the beef and tried to keep it going far beyond what it needed to. This is for all the media who acted like parasites in this time.

[@KamikazeRapper]

This would be my comment if I have nothing JUST hating on others' success 😂😂😂😂

[@marting3032]

This one of the few verses this year that made me emotional fr

[@joegeezly9613]

Beautiful track wow. This actually blew my mind.

[@CDEJC]

J. Cole was *always* my pick. As a rapper, as a man. Just because he's peaceful, never meant that he was harmless. MY dude 🙏🏾. Thanks for the breakdown, Knox.

[@polomid8996]

I love your break downs, thank you for the time and energy you put into this, much love and respect to you and your music!
