Kendrick Lamar Vs J. Cole - What Happened?

[@cattime2044]

It’s not a beef. It’s a rivalry.

[@newnamesameperson397]

I don't even think there was a Kendrick vs Cole beef.

[@johnpauldriskill8737]

For sure it’s always been competition

[@acemccannis302]

I don’t either. And if there was..it was J. Cole mimicking sentiments from Drake in 7 Minute Drill about how he doesn’t get attention unless he’s dissing or that Mr. Morale flopped. If i’m Kendrick i’m thinking “Cole you know better than to take any kinda cues from Drake of all people”..that’s the only thing i could see causing some type of tension

There is. It's competition but Kendrick obviously has a goal and its cultural.

[@BLKBKLN]

I never took the “falloff bar” from count me out to be a Cole diss. That song is literally a breakthrough in therapy and him coming to accept himself, faults, mistakes and all. I think he was saying that he is his own worst enemy hence the “nobody but the mirror looking for the falloff” Meaning he can’t blame anyone else for his shortcomings etc.

[@roberttorres7439]

Yup on one track from Mr Morale Kendrick was showing love to Cole he is not your savior

You mainstream rap fans are the funniest group of ppl in the world to me 😭😭 none of this is beef, none of this is real, none of this is consequential in the slightest. Look into some real rap if you want to see real beef.

[@EMAH669]

This is exactly the point, no wonder he dissed both of them because of it, the song was Drake tryna have the last say by having them on his song, as soon as Dot wasn't with it, Drake definitely goaded J Cole to go at him. Also, FPS is the fakest thing, because Drake allows Cole to say the big 3 line, but in Push Ups he says "you ain't in no big 3" then even in family matters "you're right about fuck the big 3" All of this to say, Kendrick didn't attack them unprovoked, FPS is a snaky and manipulative song, they got what they deserved

[@JayBrick-zb3or]

@@J-Hue lol what street cred

[@huesoftheheart139]

Hot take: I think what Dot did could be the best thing for Cole. Really was tough love. As an underappreciated artist, Cole used his feature run to set himself apart from Dot and Drake bc his albums weren't holding up to his counterparts in the court of public opinion; it put him in the convo, but never at the top, always #2. His feature run filled a void, he sacrificed conceptual pieces for traditional bars/lyrical exhibitions that was still artistic and dope, however, requires a high volume to sustain, and can be more entertaining than impactful if without artistic intent. Not saying Dot will deserve credit, but I think recent events may inspire Cole to revert to 'Concept' in The Fall Off, where it won't be just another lyrical exercise, but a deep dive into Cole's fundamental thesis: Choosing Yourself even if it means being underappreciated. (Also, I use underappreciated loosely. Cole being in consistent convo of the big 3 is solidified, he's just often put at 2 even though his feature run was changing that narrative).

[@timy9197]

Good point

[@poetryismyting8854]

It's a pity they had a fall out. Looking at the videos with them when they were younger and how they talked about each other, it's clear they vibed really well together and respected each other. But the industry is so competitive and media and fans always pitted them against each other, it made it impossible to work on the project together. All in all, hip-hop lost a great project because those leaked and a few released songs JCole and Kendrick did together were gold and I wish we got to hear more. I feel like Cole always felt some type of way about people comparing him to Kendrick and putting him above Cole, so when Kendrick went silent after Damn, Cole thought it's a chance to climb higher and sent some subliminals here and there. Kendrick let it slide because it was still competitive and he's the same way. However, after Cole started not only collab with Drake all the time but involve Kendrick's name in the conversation when Kendrick didn't want anything to do with Drake, that's when Kedrick decided to step in. I don't think it was ever anything personal between them.

And that's Drake. Cole doesn't really fit the same style as Drake if anything he's more similar to/the type of rap that Kendrick approves of and wants to be the mainstream.

I think u misunderstood that line. Cole basically said it’s not coming out cuz the powers that be won’t let it come out cuz of the type of rappers they are

[@777y3kyungbrat]

Dot and cole are day ones. It's so funny how they "situation" ended up soon as the real beef started

[@jaideveremy4371]

Apologize in a Rap Battle makes people calling you soft and got you embarrassing

[@spiridonrobert16]

I respect j Cole for that since he s like friends with both or has a relationship and coming how messy the battle became for Drake and kendrick him engaging in all that stuff when he s nit feeling makes You not sound confident which 7 min drill in the example he deleted IT cause he doesn t even felt IT :)but at the same time that whole goat talk no one f with me attitude îs done

[@Mya_Leigh]

The more I look back and think about it I feel like there were people behind the scenes on Cole’s side casing the static because the things Cole said about Kendrick Drake echoed the same sentiments at the time and even now listening to 7min drill smh

[@Dbmorgan]

What happened? Not a dam thing

[@ten0785]

So jcole ruined they relationship

[@pishugaming1677]

Cole is the best for me cause i can feel what coles feel cole more relatable Cole have best personality cole is positive cole good at features Am glazing cole i dono love him ❤❤❤

[@DrewP1901]

Hypothesis. What if the “mole” told Kendrick about first person shooter, and THATS WHEN Kendrick said “ain’t nobody but the mirror looking for the fall off. I love when you count me out” and went and got the Super Bowl on the low and got into it with Drake

[@oota4421]

J Cole is who Kendrick fans think Kendrick is. His activism and image is a lot more secure and sincere. Iykyk.

[@jasonnn247]

😂

[@AstralWRLD]

That part! His fans don’t wanna have that conversation.

[@Words0.0]

I listen to both but what I know kendrick always on bs since day 1, he always hungry and his bipolar spiralling, he can be a good person and next day he turn to demon, "I remember u was conflicted" that what he preach since day 1, people who listen to dot knows, on the same song he call himself good person and an ashole 😂cole the other side always a good person

"they're good friends" ... "It's not like i know that man's mom" 🤦

[@ErinJeanette]

It's funny cuz I literally have never heard music channels, podcasts, etc asking about if any of them are the big three or which of them are the best lol. J Cole I feel is not nearly known like kendrick and drake. Drake is fun, kendrick is great. He's the best musician and artist. I was mesmerized by his "I" SNL performance like a decade ago, totally blown away by the passion and performance.

[@Yaadenike]

I so tired of hearing these voices do commentary on certain artists. Is there nothing happening on your side of town?

[@YoungRiseTV]

Interesting that Cole said that Top probably had Kendrick locked up in his deal even back then. Hmmmmmm

Kendrick washed cole on black Friday, I'm a fan of both just being honest

I wouldn’t say wash because they approached the songs differently. For example, you could say Cole washed Kendrick on American Dream-but they approached the song differently.

Cole apologized cause he really did feel bad and also knew k dot wanted to work with him but he low key brushed him off. He wasn’t really feeling k dot like dot was feeling him as far as friendship is concerned. Also Cole knew he didn’t wanna go back and forth with Kendrick cause although Cole is so dope and better than Drake lyrically he know he would meet his match with Kendrick and dot feel a way about him and Cole know it.

[@Kxngarthxr28]

I feel like it's Cole's issue. Every song seemed like it was produced by him. On paper Cole would be paid more and mentally if he's writing a verse or hook and making the best that's hard work. It would be 🔥 if they do it.

[@ErinJeanette]

Nice birthday j cole, mine is January 29 the next day lol

[@joelbatista5132]

Kendrick sounds like a jealous little brat ngl this guy sounds like he was jealous of Cole’s and Drake career from the rip

As good as these artist are they’ll never live up to rappers like Pac and Big. Too many sublim’s. Pac always said names straight up.
