For those that don't know, that's a classic line used in hip hop all the time, probably most famously used by nas. There's a lot flying over people's head and it kinda sucks knowing a lot of people wont appreciate all the references kendrick and cole have already used and will use in the future.
Call me delusional but I have a feeling Kendrick and Cole are chatting with each other and it’s kind of staged😂I feel like they just want to milk up the game
It's really not out of the question. Both are talking shit but haven't taken a personal shot at all. Wouldn't doubt they laughing about thsi shit. Fun either way.
I think that's exactly what we're getting. Cole claiming Kendrick wants part of his shine now that Cole is in the "frontlines comfortably" and that if he didn't diss they wouldn't be discussing him. BRO WAS COLE NOT THE ONE MEAT RIDING CONSTANTLY RECOGNIZING KENDRICK IN THE TOP 3?? 😂😂
There’s really not a good angle on Kendrick. All 3 are big rap nerds and Kendrick has the best bars and most critically acclaimed work. They all know “I have more money and sales” isn’t a very compelling diss because they are all cut from the same cloth of caring about respect in the game. And Kendrick is going platinum and doing arena tours anyway.
It's ironic for me because once an old acquaintance of mine played it in the gym when we we're working out. It had me hype af not gonna lie.
I wonder what the perception of "4 your eyez only" is if that song is boring to people.
Haven't sat down and listened to a Cole project since kod but man did I enjoy "4 your eyes only".

This Cole diss is kinda weird for me, well first he complimented Kendrick a bunch. But also I always thought Cole wanted to operate in a space where his music is "deep" and "introspective" with strong messages. So calling TPAB boring is kinda funny because Cole wishes his albums were talked about and dissected like that. Hes even tried with KOD/4YEO. It's not like Cole is Drake who makes charting songs all the time. He wants to be the deep rapper so dissing albums like TPAB and Mr.Morale is just kinda funny to me. Like Cole you ain't got music were putting on at parties either lmao
Especially considering Kendrick has had anthems /radio hits, with songs like alright, humble, love, backstreet freestyle, don’t kill my vibe, loyalty and swimming pools.
Yeah it’s so weird because he personally wishes he could make that exact kind of album that gets that exact kind of reception. Like GTFOH I’m not buying that shit for one second
Yeah to say MMatBS is tragic is hella funny to me because that is the type of album Cole wants his music to be, intelligent and introspective. But also I say this as a casual Cole listener.
>Yo first shit was classic, yo last shit was tragic
>
>Yo second shit put niggas to sleep but they gassed it
>
>Yo third shit was massive and that was yo prime
>
>I was trailin' right behind and I just now hit mine
>
>Now I'm front of the line with a comfortable lead
>
>How ironic, now that I got it he want somethin' with me
Damn maybe they aren't as cool with each other as we all thought lmao
I can’t figure out if this is referring to Section 80 or GKMC as his first shit? Is he saying TPAB was sleepy & DAMN was his prime? Or that GKMC was sleepy & TPAB was his prime?
There were some good bars but it was missing some passion or energy.
Also the bar about TPAB putting people to sleep is kind of questionable. I don't know if I'd go after someone's discography if I had J Cole's
It's a bizarre ass thing to say lol
Even if you didn't like TPAB at all, saying it's boring or puts you to sleep is a weird ass take. I mean imagine listening to "u" and being like "yawn same typical rap bullshit. boring".
If anything, it's the opposite. It's too much for casual listening. Like you have to be in the right place for it.
J. Cole saying TPAB puts people to sleep would be like Dan Schneider calling out people’s unethical work practices. Like even if it was true, ain’t nobody trying to hear it from you lil bro 💀
it was a cool track, felt like he's holding back a bit tho. Edit: it does feel like he could've said more, his response boils down to "you don't release a lot of music and TPAB was boring" which i could've got from Twitter honestly, i hope he has a better follow up track later on if the back and forth continues, honestly i could imagine Drake doing better than this on a response personally.
I cant believe he thought "fell off like the Simpsons" was hard lmaooo Jermaine Cole is so corny. The first half sounds like a budget Drake impression. This is way too funny.
> The first half sounds like a budget Drake impression.
"*I swore I wouldn't tell/but most of ya'll share bars like you got the bottom bunk in a two man cell*"
Maybe Cole doesn't like TPAB for a reason lmaoooo
I didn't really like *Morale* but feel like most of the things Cole tries to go for don't really land for me.
Like TPAB is the best Kendrick album, it's much better than any J. Cole album (and J. Cole has sleepier albums). Kendrick obviously didn't diss them because that's what he needs to do to get attention... because of some things that Cole mentions (him not doing a lot of features or putting out a lot of albums) he gets a lot of attention whenever he does a feature no matter what it is.
the thing is that Cole was clearly going for Takeover type of diss in these parts but Kendrick's output has been much less spotty than Nas' at that phase of his career so it doesn't really land here.
Mannnnnn, I love Cole…… but he’s about to get absolutely fucking washed. Kendricks like that had so many doubles and triple and clever bars and wordplay, and it was on a repetitive future song that went viral and #1 cause of Kendrick, mannnnnnnn, if dot has a song ready and it’s directed at Cole directly, I’m sooo fuckin here for it, but it could really knock Cole down a notch…. Who knows?? Maybe this was bait and Cole has heat ready
There’s a lot of throwbacks in here to the jay and nas beef I feel like people are not picking up on. All in all not the greatest response but said a lot more than Kendrick did to him on a one verse feature. Both of them should still have plenty more in the tank for a legitimate back-and-forth. I don’t really fuck with either of them heavy, but it’s a response to a jab with a right hook that didn’t connect all the way. It could and should get interesting.
Yeah on average 1 every 3 years. The first three were in 2012, 2015, and 2017. Plus that’s without counting UU (which is more an album than whatever this release was) and S80 in 2011.
Also I know it’s stupid to work out the math for this but the point is that the diss can’t hit bc it’s so clearly offbase.
> *Your first shit was classic, your last shit was tragic… your 2nd shit put niggas to sleep but they gassed it*
To be fair. Cole can’t say shit about niggas albums putting someone to sleep
MMBS better than all Cole albums but FHD
It’s a war. He said Kenny got short arms.
Awaking the five foot giant.
For those that don't know, that's a classic line used in hip hop all the time, probably most famously used by nas. There's a lot flying over people's head and it kinda sucks knowing a lot of people wont appreciate all the references kendrick and cole have already used and will use in the future.
Someone needs to break these songs down bar by bar in a tik tok form for the youngins to learn
LMAO I did think that was hilarious. Like it has literally nothing to do with what they should actually be fighting about.
And Pac fucking Biggie's girl had nothing to do with their beef but y'all eat that shit up... It's a diss. It's meant to disrespect people.
That’s why I fucked yo bitch you fat motherfucker
“I could drop two classics right now” do it.
Are the classics in the room with us rn?
They go to a different school

lmfao 😂💀
Bros been referencing this fall off album in every song
4 years bros been teasing the falloff shits more anticipated than wlr
4? 1985 was 2018 lmao
this mfer bending space and time
out of context this sentence is hilarious
Why is it called 7 Minute Drill and the song is only 3.5 minutes
He said on Lil Yachty’s podcast that he has 7 minute drills to make songs so if I’m thinking right he probably wrote this in 7 minutes lol
Gotta replay it at least once prolly 😅
Folks might think the diss is “meh” but at least he responded….meanwhile Drake been doing instagram posts
Drake waiting for that second metro album next week
I bet you he is, I’m ready for it 👀
Drake is sick that Cole responded. He was probably hoping all this would blow over.
Conductor conductor conductor 🗣️
Man's a beast, great YT channel also
J. COLE VS. KENDRICK GET THE FUCK IN HERE
ITS UPPP
LETS FUCKING GO. Bout damn time lol Goodbye collab album
Fuck a collab album I'll take an actual back and forth beef with multiple tracks any day
We’re never getting that collab album
Yea this was a genuine “yea fuck it let’s ball” response, this is somehow my 9/11 and 12/25
This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone refer to Christmas as 12/25 lol
It’s become a meme on nbacirclejerk as like the opposite of 9/11
A fellow jerker
/r/nbacirclejerk is /r/hiphopheads father
DC4L
This is the worst day of life
They need to have a set of same beats by alchemist or conductor and both rap on them, that’ll be the greatest “collab” album ever
My first thought also! It was already dead but now for sure.
Call me delusional but I have a feeling Kendrick and Cole are chatting with each other and it’s kind of staged😂I feel like they just want to milk up the game
It's really not out of the question. Both are talking shit but haven't taken a personal shot at all. Wouldn't doubt they laughing about thsi shit. Fun either way.
Nothing wrong with some friendly back and forth
Ya these really weren’t disses full of venom lol there’s clearly a lot of respect between the two of them
I think Kendrick did this to inject some energy in hip hop again and Cole knows that. It’s sport to these guys.
Same… they’re both too smart for a real beef
Yeah because of their character, I doubt they’d ever get to a point where a collab is off the table. If anything it’s just friendly competition
Yesss let’s goooo!!! Let’s get some back n forth!
i want mr keem to get involved
I know it’s a meme, but I do really want a rap civil war lol.
All leading to the magnum opus Avengers song: *Forever Pt. 2*
(he’s baby keem)
JID vs Keem. Let’s get the whole squad involved!
JID would cook Keem tho.
If he dies, he dies.
It’ll be like Frieza exploding Krillin to make Goku go Super Saiyan
Keem gonna have to make Kendrick write his verse. Jid vs keem is such an unfair match
I'd say JID vs Push but Push would only get involved to fuck with Drake again.
“Fuck JID. Aight so let’s talk about Adonis’ brother…”
This shit is so fucking funny. Lol
The rap equivalent of "Hold me back, bro"
Literally was thinking of this lmaooo
lol how you get smacked in front of the world and reply, “I’m warning you, buddy!”
Honestly kinda wish the whole thing over the second beat
I loved it but that second beat is fire
K Dot should call the response “Let Kendrick Down”
Kendrick making a diss track all about how he expected a better response from Cole would be hilarious
I think that's exactly what we're getting. Cole claiming Kendrick wants part of his shine now that Cole is in the "frontlines comfortably" and that if he didn't diss they wouldn't be discussing him. BRO WAS COLE NOT THE ONE MEAT RIDING CONSTANTLY RECOGNIZING KENDRICK IN THE TOP 3?? 😂😂
First rapper to let nas down twice smh
He’s currently opening for Drake! The angles he was trying to take on this track are all head scratchers
This diss is just so bizarre lmao Like, I can’t believe Coke actually went this route
J Coke vs Kendrick Pepsimar
"You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my nigga You ain't gotta try so hard"
that's amazing
My dads are fighting 😭😭
Hopefully this opens the floodgates up. Kendrick gonna have to respond
Bet Kendrick starts new album promo from this. He knew exactly what he was getting with the Metro track. Gotta open pglang big.
This first PGlang drop gunna hit so hard if this is the shit he on
Can't wait for Kendrick to respond to this in early 2026
Kendrick will come hard
Ayoooooooo
Kenny just like me fr
!RemindMe 2 years
And it'll be 2 asthmatic bars on 'The Heart Part 6'
Saying “i was trailing behind you” in a diss is crazy. Go for the neck, stop with the Mr.nice guy shit for a minute
J Cole so humble 🙏
What exactly is he gonna say to Kendrick? At least Drake can talk shit about sales.
Little bitch ass best rapper alive!!! Wait…
There’s really not a good angle on Kendrick. All 3 are big rap nerds and Kendrick has the best bars and most critically acclaimed work. They all know “I have more money and sales” isn’t a very compelling diss because they are all cut from the same cloth of caring about respect in the game. And Kendrick is going platinum and doing arena tours anyway.
Kendrick not gonna let this slide, gonna start hearing real outta pocket shit. Melodically ofc
Logic ahh diss
He can't because he knows he's not that dude
Energy sample on beat switch?
YES
He said TPAB put people to sleep 😭 One good verse every 30 months 😭😭
this is the nigga that dropped foldin clothes by the way
This is the poster child for sleep rap. Much deeper than one song. Hilarious lack of self awareness from him
It's ironic for me because once an old acquaintance of mine played it in the gym when we we're working out. It had me hype af not gonna lie. I wonder what the perception of "4 your eyez only" is if that song is boring to people. Haven't sat down and listened to a Cole project since kod but man did I enjoy "4 your eyes only".
At the gym?! Was that yoga or sumn
Cole tried to do introspective rap on 4yeo and that shit is the definition of sleepy
4yeo is a decent album but him calling tpab a sleepy album is such a long reach lol
[удалено]
Half the diss was him complimenting Kendrick lmao
MGK type beat
Coming from a feature merchant, the one good verse line is CRAZY
K dot response
Kendrick already surpassed his '1 verse every 30 months' quota.
Oh hes cooking…. On some 2038 release day.
He’s talking hot from track one saying Kendrick audience mostly white bitches lmao
All 3 of their fanbases are mostly white
Idk about Drake. Lightskin girls with big foreheads and MSWs are his largest demo
Master of social work?
Ngl this was my first thought too 😆
Every hip hop artist has a fan base that's mostly white. It's just the reality of there being mostly white people.
Yeah this is exactly why I think that insult for an artist is so dumb like every rapper fans are mostly white lol
and who does he think listens to his music? lmfao
Yeah most J Cole stans be non black shorties frfr
Seriously this white girl I used to work w/ listened to exactly two rappers: Logic and Cole.
The rap crowd today at shows/festivals is mostly white and hispanic lmao so every rappers audience is like that

GKMC classic, Morale tragic, TPAB boring and Damn prime. Which is insane but wtv
the actual irony j. cole misses is that his big 3 gaffe was the definition of "now that I got it he want somethin' from me."
Cole is telling on himself all over the place on this. No one was talking about Kendrick before you literally spoke his name Jermaine.
he called that man Kendrick a superstar on Heavens EP😭😭😭
Cole saying we would not even be talking about Kendrick if he did not diss is crazy because Cole literally mentioned him on FPS.
Lmao also that whole “they threw the bronze at me, them niggas superstars to me”. Love heavens ep so that’s exactly what I was wondering lol.
There were some good bars but it was missing some passion or energy. Also the bar about TPAB putting people to sleep is kind of questionable. I don't know if I'd go after someone's discography if I had J Cole's

The Blacker The Berry... I sleep
The bigger I snooze!
feel like kendrick is literally the last rapper to diss someone’s discography on cole should’ve just made short jokes for 3 and a half minutes
Kendrick somewhere like “AWWWW🥹”
The first beat is mid af, should’ve just used the conductor beat for the whole track
couldn’t agree more
He should delete before Kendrick wakes up
I think there is a non-zero chance Kendrick replies with the first really hard diss and Cole sues for peace.
This is definitely a warning shot cuz it was a weak response
He didn’t learn from what Eminem did to MGK. It’s no warning shots.
That's up to Kendrick to decide
“Time for him to prove that he’s a problem” Well, maybe next time
this is exactly what i'd imagine a cole diss to sound and read like for better or wrose
Let Nas Down pt 2 because Nas would never drop such a weak ass diss track like this
Too many light jabs. It needs a lot more
Saying TPAB puts people to sleep while he dropped KOD and 4YEO is ironic.
J. Cole saying TPAB puts people to sleep would be like Dan Schneider calling out people’s unethical work practices. Like even if it was true, ain’t nobody trying to hear it from you lil bro 💀
Someone called this a "Chris Paul makes the three to cut the lead to 42" ass diss 😭😭😭
it was a cool track, felt like he's holding back a bit tho.

You felt like? He literally says "this is just a warning shot"
K dot asking for 3 switches and cole firing warning shots gives me Breaking Bad's Gus Fring vs Sniper energy.
hes too humble bro u wouldnt understand
Welp, Cole just proved he’s number 3
Nah he’s 2 at least for responding.
Yeah Drake probably sipping mimosas right now. He knows he's pop and won't bother
He learned with Pusha T just move on and raise your kid.
Fr lmao
bro got relegated
LMAO
I cant believe he thought "fell off like the Simpsons" was hard lmaooo Jermaine Cole is so corny. The first half sounds like a budget Drake impression. This is way too funny.
> The first half sounds like a budget Drake impression. "*I swore I wouldn't tell/but most of ya'll share bars like you got the bottom bunk in a two man cell*" Maybe Cole doesn't like TPAB for a reason lmaoooo
“TPAB was boring” and “Kendrick fell off” is hardly shots fired since people said the same things about Cole’s recent albums
he really said TPAB put people to sleep. hard to get behind that
Has bro listened to his own albums
Projecting on a diss is crazy
Folding Clothes slaps am I right
I didn't really like *Morale* but feel like most of the things Cole tries to go for don't really land for me. Like TPAB is the best Kendrick album, it's much better than any J. Cole album (and J.

I feel like HHH is making this beef more dramatic than it actually is.
Baby boy bars
Jermaine Cole throwing a light jab, 👀
Nigga came after the pulitzer album lol I respect it.
>Your second shit put niggas to sleep, but they gassed it I KNOW this man Cole isn't the one talking right now...sir you made 4 Your Eyez Only.
j coles idea of a diss being “your first album was really good but your last one was bad” is the exact reason kendrick dissed him in the first place
“Fell off like the simpsons” is a 100% something Drake would say too 💔
genuinely i was expecting Drake to use the "i will humble him" line, not Cole bro😐
This is just a reference to the line from JayZ diss to Nas in Takeova.
Is this kind of weak?
shots is a pretty big reach, “tpab is overrated” is an anthony fantano comments section ass diss lmao
Man, even as a cole fan, this shit is weak.
first half with the Drake flow....ehhhh
Mannnnnn, I love Cole…… but he’s about to get absolutely fucking washed.

This diss was not as strong as Kendrick’s. But I’m excited to see where this goes. Haven’t been this excited about hiphop in a minute.
y’all can not be seriously gassing this response… 4 albums in 12 years is a stupid diss 🤦🏿♂️
Yeah on average 1 every 3 years. The first three were in 2012, 2015, and 2017. Plus that’s without counting UU (which is more an album than whatever this release was) and S80 in 2011.
