Let me give a sports analogy. If Jordan (in his prime) said "I'm #1" and decided to sit out every time he played against Bird, Magic, Isiah, etc he would be disqualified. Cant say you're number 1 if don't compete when challenged. Cole is great but this disqualifies him and will follow him forever. Everytime he jumps on a record and says "I'm number 1" or "I'm the greatest" he will get clowned by majority of hip hop fans. It's all good that he regrets it and he doesn't want to go back and forth and have friendly competition but that #1 talk he's been doing, he should probably cut it out. Say you are just one of the nicest and leave it at that

Cole the type to go to the gym with full boxing gear, EVERY DAY, braggin about being the best fighter & how no one can whoop him …then he gets punched in the chest by the quiet guy in that gym & goes “i cant do this. my soul is heavy. i respect your striking abilities & i hope you dont feel a way about my previous remarks ..” then walks away with his head down

Cole you just gave the reason what is wrong with hip-hop and what is happening to real MC‘s and real competition. I love J. Cole as an artist, and as a rapper at the end of the day, but Stop saying you’re the best because you just bow out and also you’ve been asking in your lyrics for the last 2-3 years what has happened to hip-hop competition.

Absolutely. You can’t backtrack on a song you released 4 days ago and have it not hurt your career. Thats a different kind of L that artists don’t go through.

[@cwal12391]

Kendrick didn’t have a problem with Cole saying he was the best until he linked up with Drake. Cole been saying “only man above me is God himself, all these other niggaz is below me” since Forbidden Fruit in 2013”. He did it again on Forrest Hills and Kendrick never approached him. What we have to acknowledge is there’s a dynamic we have to pay attention to which is Cole being stuck in the middle of two of his friends that have real tension between them. Him clapping back at Kendrick (with the Energy sample) makes it look like he chose sides. That extends well beyond just friendly competition.

[@hybrid1339]

Thats very true, but i cant front if i was cole i still would have kept going because if him and Kendrick really cool, then he didnt need to apologize and if they really cool then they would still be cool afterwards...maybe cole should have found out if Kendrick was going at him or drake first because then he could have just sat out instead of responding in the first place

Seeing the misusing your influence quote in the comment section of the apology video is crushing.

[@kindabutnotreally1119]

Yes. It takes him out. Period.

[@takecare3852]

Rose just told me he don’t know hip hop. I kinda already knew but this confirmed it

[@khaldub]

Completely agree with Ebro on this

[@kimzziereenee1638]

This was the BEST group discussion I have heard on this subject. I think peeps are gonna be quite surprised with what comes next with KL and JC.

[@peterbadami4872]

As an emcee when your skills and position are questioned or you are called out by someone as good if not better than you. You defend yourself, stand your ground, strike back, prove your lyrical superiority, and compete. This is the way that Hip Hop culture has always worked, why are we now moving the goalposts because modern rappers are overly sensitive?

[@tamarawilliams1197]

Right

[@reno2859]

Imagine Jordan showing up to the finals and apologizing to the other team and leaving the game smh.

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

Some people just got that killer mentality. Cole hasn't lol

[@michealwells3943]

Whoa!!!!! In the Middle of this Ebro spoke straight facts!!! Hard to believe I agree with Ebro 😅😂😂

[@GangsterAstrology313]

You can't be Thee #1 in hiphop if you don't battle. There is certainly a lane for him, but he can't be Thee #1

[@iMoha46]

Rosenberg’s argument is so dumb. J Cole wouldn’t have apologized if his response was good and people liked it. he made up a sorry excuse for that sorry ass response and people are mad about that and how it’s being framed

[@BlakeZeb]

Out of all the things said about j Cole right now, I think this is the only one I genuinely disagree with. Enough people were hyping up the diss that I don’t think this is the reason. I think he was genuine about why he takes it back.

[@leothelion2593]

I’m convinced these ppl are just contrarians or on pay roll bc bro, we can respect him being honest with himself, but if you’re unwilling to defend what you say about yourself, I can’t take you seriously as an emcee. Only positive folding clothes bars from here

[@bencromwell707]

I Agree With Ebro💯👍

[@felixpayer6867]

good video

[@ELGUAPOIV]

Imagine apologizing to the dude who said your discography is a light pack. Then you expect people to still see you as the best. It's impossible to recover from that.

[@BlakeZeb]

To be fair I don’t think he said he expects people to view him as the best still. I’m really curious how the fall off is gunnu look now.

[@kaydee1485]

Light pack was for Drake though. It was lined up with the Mike Jack shot.

[@yunggrinda12]

I MEAN, HE DID SAY “MIGHT DELETE LATER” SO NO ONE SHOULD BE UPSET. AT ALL

[@tamarawilliams1197]

Naw...stand on business...stand behind your work

[@calvincameron354]

You know damn well that title isn't literally saying the same thing as what he ended up doing.

[@vincegray7206]

TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY…one of the greatest albums of any form of music, periodt! 😊

[@kable1982]

Stop the fucking CAP in hiphop if u say I'm the best... if Jesus ask for a feature I'm going to hell and then when they test him he ducks it?! Yea he can't talk like that again! Still a great artist but he left the competition.

[@ChipOsorio]

Imagine Muhammad Ali calling himself "The Greatest" and all that trash talking he was renowned for - only for fold once he was challenged.

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

Yeah but instead he defeated Liston and screamed "I shook up the world! I'm a baaad man!"

[@ChipOsorio]

@@GoGetYourShinebox facts!

[@toneofficial6528]

3 reasons you can't disqualify drake 1.) he defends himself when challenged. Drake is sooo petty. He's been in the ring 3 times. Drake still has issues with so many rappers. He makes a song about dogs, says one slick line about Future and moves on. Drake been talking slick to kendrick for the past 6 years. 2.) This whole thing is because of Drake. People linking up choosing sides. This whole thing circulates around Drake. He is the main character. 3.) When it comes to hip-hop it's Drake, kendrick and Cole. When it comes to music overall it's Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Drake. Thats why you can't disqualify Drake.

[@pridemyselfwithnontrolling5230]

1. Lived a privileged life. 2. Confirmed Ghostwriter 3 Jewi$$h privilege 4. More of a pop star Stop the nonsense

[@youngair24]

Amen Drake has been grooming J Cole for this since Middle Child

[@bigboss92]

Drraaaaake?

[@prestonhartlief]

Drake is a Pop Star

[@prestonhartlief]

​@@pridemyselfwithnontrolling5230just remove 3. Then it's all good points.

[@amcg6075]

They brought up a couple intersting points i didnt even think of. I fugg wit it

[@calvincameron354]

Its annoying how these ppl keep moving the goalpost as if J cole wasn't himself declaring to be THAT GUY. Rosenberg is wrong af there have been many #1s In hip hop he sounds stupid as hell.

[@zayb2903]

Rosenberg gotta cut it out. I get it’s for the sake of argument but come on bro 😒

[@chalacemitchell4719]

J Cole is a stand up dude❤ He did the right thing

[@BeatsByGemsmiff]

Stand up dude that cant stand on wat he claims…PLEASE BE QUIET..Comments like these shudnt exist!!

[@Steven-sd2zi]

He was the one saying nobody wants smoke

[@nickdijcj1]

This video changed my mind, Cole dropped the ball on that track, and on the whole album fr, lot of tracks where he’s sounding like drake or something too

[@riccoingram6150]

Both artist deserves their Flowers !!! 🌺🌼🌷🌸🌹🪷
