i remember clearly everyone saying J Fold can’t reply with a warning. Fold was supposed to go for the kill
I feel different about it now actually,and its going down how i said. When Kendrick didnt drop quickly it made me think he didnt expect Drake to really get personal and go in. I think he views verses like Control and Like that as just sparring,and says it because it sounds hard. But he doesnt have a real issue with Drake or Cole,or any other rapper. I dont think hes been waiting for this for 10 years like people think lol. When Drake got personal he wasnt prepared.
Now im thinking J Cole might have spoke with Kendrick,and Kendrick explained he wasnt trying to kick off a whole rap beef. From that perspective J Cole apologizing makes more sense. Because his song was more than the vague "im the best" bars that Kendrick gave him and Drake. J Cole took it past "sparring".
Drake obviously had more pressure put on him by fans, to finally respond to Kendricks competetive verses. I think here that Kendrick is basically explaining to Drake that "Like That" wasnt him trying to start a beef. So he should just calm it down and keep it cool before its too late. You aint gotta apologize like J Cole,but chill
