We probably will never get a full on battle but the prospect of Cole vs Kendrick is fascinating and tbh it could go bad for K Dot
And I say that as someone who doesn’t even think Cole is on Kendrick’s level
as an artist. But a battle is different
1- You NEVER go first. Bc you already conditioning the audience to root for the ‘underdog’.
2- There is a bit of an elephant in the room w/ Kendrick and it’s that for whatever reason it seem like a lot of the streets, the younger crowd, don’t fw him
Like they think he’s too preachy and his albums are overrated. Cole could pounce on that.
A diss don’t gotta be true to the letter of the law it just gotta be true
enough …Like Jay sayin ‘1 hot album every ten years’ wasn’t true but it was an exaggeration of a real sentiment that Nas was falling off, so it worked. Cole could do the same
3- People loved first Person shooter and everyone loves Cole these past few years. So i kinda feel nggas would embrace Cole unleashing the clip
4- We have 1, one case of Cole “dissing” forreal and it’s false prophets and he low key demolished Kanye. With pinpoint accuracy. So he definitely has it in him
