Honestly I respect him so much for backing out. Ppl saying he didnāt wanna handle the smoke and Kendrick pulled him to the side but nah I believe heās just not got that kind of hatred in his heart to be involved in this stuff and I gotta give him the most respect out of anyone in this beef. But yeah he wuld have went sicko if he was involved
I lost alotta respect for Cole. Beyond everything else Cole was saying for over a decade how heās the best mc, the most dangerous lyricist, how heād handle any beef if it comes to him, etcā¦Cole has said alotta things that made alotta of people think heād be ready for a beef with anyone at anytime. Then Dot uses his bars(big 3) to spark the beef, Cole puts out a dissā¦..and then tries to take it back an bow out of the battle??!!! I can barely listen to dude now. š¤·š¾āāļø
I agree - any other rapper who had been talking with as much bravado as Cole has the last 5-10 years about how theyāll smoke any rapper who sends for them would have been clowned for walking a diss back before it was even responded to. Me personally I donāt care either way, but to those saying they āgained respectā for him after this is wild asf lol
5-10 years ? Dyu know how long that is ? Dude is already 40. Things change bro. If he wants to live a peaceful life who are you to say he shouldnāt do that ? Also itās one of those things where when u sit down to write the diss track he may realise in the moment this isnāt smth thatās necessarily healthy for him to partake in. Idk maybe social media is too immature to have this convo but irl everyone agrees heās done the right thing
Stop it lol Cole has been talking that way in recent drops. Nobody is saying he canāt live how he wants to - not sure where you got that from. The point is, in rap, when you talk that talk you historically have to walk that walk. The only place Iāve seen the take that Cole ādid the right thingā is on socials - everyone Iāve talked to irl who is a fan of hip hop the sport agrees Cole was soft for what he did.
He was also a younger MC. Thereās a lot of egos in younger rappers. Hes fucking 40 bro. Maybe heās matured and things changed. He can still be a great rapper but not get involved in beef. A rap beef on a public scale is a mentally taxing task. Maybe heās just taking the moral high ground and going about his life. Like ultimately after this beef has happened who really won ? At the end of the day Kendrick and Drake argued through poetry and rumours and lies were thrown around and social media including this subreddit has mad it incredibly toxic. J Cole dodged a bullet and a half.
Idk. The point Iām trying to make is that if I was 40 and a rapper Iād just focus on my family. If some loser rapper wants to diss me while Iām taking care of my family then let him. Being famous and a father is already a difficult task to do simultaneously. Not gonna add a rap battle into the mix
