No, that’s not how it works.
You don’t need to “beef” to be the best.
Rappers have been calling themselves the best since the beginning of time. Didn’t mean they needed to beef and disrespect others. Especially their
All these dudes now throwing shots at each other aren’t doing it to be “the best” they are doing it cause they actually got problems and something to say about each other. Where would cole stand in all this, not having a personal problem or desire to align with any of these people?
A fake “beef” cause their stan’s wanted it is corny AF and NOT what hiphop is about contrary to the narrative some of yall wanna push.
All of that is true BUT any rapper is fine to spew ducktales all through their music until the moment that their ducktakes are proven to be lies. Cole bragged about bringing and wanting smoke on every track he’s been on since his killing feature run started in 2018. Backing out of a direct competition regardless of why he did it is gonna give him a credibility hit. The question is how long will that be.
All that being said, as somebody who was disappointed with the apology, now that I’m seeing things play out, I wish he never released that track. Seeing where things are trending, it’s blatantly obvious Cole wanted to war verbally for sport and the rest of these guys are taking it back to the 90s/2000s with the personal disrespect.
