What did Cole do to y’all?

[Gizmo_Duck]

Come on Duck you don’t believe that

as far as entire projects go and not just verses? Yep

 

[Peak]

What is there to say that hasn't been said a million times over. He punked/got punked out. Then had the audacity to try and Juelz his way out of it.

Clearly they aren’t the friends he thinks they are if it reached that point. There are plenty of “friends” in rap history that battled. The situation is not unique. You’re just caping for Fold.

Muthafukka point out the friends who mainstream battled in rap. Don't just say "plenty of people". I wanna see it. And I agree. They def ain't the friends that Cole think they are. But that's for him to figure out.

These guys are also all pushing 40 with kids. Most rap battles happen much earlier into careers. These guys also been out for like 15 years. Most rap battles happen on the come up

It's clear that Drake and Kendrick really hate each other. Otherwise how do you get to fake kids, domestic abuse, you are not the father and a bunch of pedo jokes after the first replies

I enjoyed the battle like everyone else, but it's completely understandable that Cole realized what was going to happen and said I'm good

Because I'm a man and can spot a bytch ass nikka from a mile away and been calling it out for years

Ice Cube vs NWA
Dr. Dre vs Eazy E
Pac vs Big
PMD vs Erick Sermon
Camron vs Stan Spit
Daz, Kurupt, Snoop
Royce vs Eminem

All friends/former friends who dissed each other and that’s not even me thinking hard

It’s not so much that he backed out. It’s the backing out combined with him talking months later about how he’s still the most dangerous rapper and how he would’ve been such a problem in the beef, etc. no one wants to hear that after he backed out.

 

[Lord Beasley]

Yes, the optics do look insane I’ll give you that.

To lyrically challenge your peers for several years only to turn around and bow out when the heat is on. Yeah, I see how that could warrant a vitriolic response from hip-hop fans.

At least initially.

I also understand to some degree why Cole may have backed out. shyt got ugly pretty quickly and maybe he wasn’t trying to go the “personal” route. Dude simply just wanted to rap, and in my opinion this battle was less rap and more about the remaining parties mud-slinging and launching accusation after accusation at each other. Instead of lyrical prowess being at the center it was more about who had the most “dirt” on who.

Is what it is now, I suppose.

I read this bullshyt like fold wrote it

What they wanted in a nutshell:

And they're upset Cole saw it like he said and

I agree, it looks bad but he's still a rapper and he's still lyrically great. He shouldn't have to curl up in a ball forever because of this

J Fold was talking all that hot shyt until Kendrick pulled his card and then he folded. not only did he fold, he got on stage at his own concert and bent the knee for Kendrick

Unforgivable

 

[KushSkywalker]

No, seriously. What did he do to yall?

I’m privy to the story, the events that led up to the beef, how everything transpired even in the aftermath of said “beef”. But man, it seems like a lot of rap fans took Cole’s actions to heart.

But, why?

One minute, fans claim “it’s just music” - next minute people are taking personal jabs as if know any of the parties involved on a personal level.

So what’s the truth?

I find it odd he is getting so much heat for being level-headed when dealing with this.

I also think people undersell J Cole's pen and production. The way he puts syllables together and switches pockets can be elite but you got reactionaries that act like he's mid and I don't get it.

Sometimes it feels like people could care less about that stuff and it's like having a favorite Pokemon to these people.

I wish we'd respect talent more instead of it always being some social response.

He said that dissing Mr. Morale messed with his spirit...his spirit! J Cole earned all the clowning he gets
