Give it up...
This thread is making me have more respect for Drake and Drake Stans, lowkey.
If you're a cole fan thats fine. But trying to retcon the battle into being insignificant by puffing up a Cole album cut to prove he's the best, is just plain silly.
Be a fan of his, but for the love of god, don't insert him in a beef he was too afraid to keep proceeding into. That was a nice verse in the OP that doesn't mean a damn thing in the context of who the best MC is. We saw the subpar track cole produced in real time against Kendrick. I see nothing wrong with giving Cole props for being matrue, but don't waffle back and fourth and say
"But look at these bars in this unrelated album cut!! Clearly he'd kill Kendrick or Drake!"
Very soy.
