      When he said 10 years ago, he’s talking about 2014 right after he dropped Born Sinner and people were saying he wasn’t going to be one of the greats. They were saying how Kendrick Lamar’s GKMC and Drake’s Take Care were better than Cole. Cole felt a little insecure and was close to giving up rap. So then he put out 2014 Forest Hills Drive that December and just said forget the industry, I’m just going to be me. And he started to dress homeless and grow out his hair.

    The problem with 7 minute drill was that it was all cap and full of hypocritical contradictions. He chose to go with the talking points 12 year old stans use in an attempt to pander to a mainstream audience, a la drake. As for the "apology" either he truly realized he wasnt keeping it real, or he saw that it wasn't being received well and panicked into backtracking out of fear of "losing". And even if it was the latter, its better to fight and lose then not fight at all. Which is why no matter how you look at this whole thing there just isnt any justification one can reasonably make out.

      Yeah, cause the majority knew that. Obviously, the vocal minority always gets the spotlight though, so perception gets skewed.
      The world DOES want to see blood, its not figurative or deceptively profound at all, its a pretty obvious, overstated opinion. That’s literally the fucking point of rap battles and rap beef, vocal gladiatorial games. Go for the jugular. It’s entertaining and engaging for the audience as an arena. Why ya’ll think labels and producers push that shit so heavily like Nicki pointed out a few years ago. It’s called the beef business for a reason.
      End of the day, an artist regretted their role in that cycle, which is a valid, personal right and sentiment. This shit is not that deep. People actively propagating this just literally prove Cole’s comment right.

If he came in from the start saying it was friendly competition then cool. That's what pissed me off, him going out of their way and then backing off. Obviously I'm not gonna stop listening to Cole, he's not gonna stop being my favorite from the US, but I won't deny that he did indeed rubbed me off the wrong way and he has ro get crowned.

    I respect your viewpoint especially seeing you were there. However I think the majority of those who are disappointed is because they do have respect for Cole. They rode with him and respected his craft for years.
    However Cole missed out on a powerful opportunity and I’m shocked he missed it. He has a masterful pen and could’ve responded humbly and with positivity like Hip Hop has never seen before and still walked away feeling on top.
    I guess he hasn’t or doesn’t understand his own greatness or maybe just not ready.

    On the other hand, I can respect the decision and the moral standing. Even if I disagree with the reasoning. You know Kendrick feels worse about this than anyone, he got that dog in him. Man was ready to pounce and now he’s feelin like Tom Aspinall because Jon Jones won’t fight him.

    What he’s talking about with what happen ten years ago is when he was pressured into wearing designer and dressing a way he normal wouldn’t but since he’s a main stream popping rapper he should dress like money.

He didn’t tuck his tail, he said he would just take the next shot on the chin without fighting back…. What else could you possibly call that? The quantity of music you put out doesn’t mean anything. Is D’Angelo not one of the best R&B singers and composers just cuz he only has 2 albums? It’s almost like he HAS to keep pushing music out because if he doesn’t people forget about him.

    anybody callin Cole weak or scared aint been hearin what he been sayin all these years so here’s the math:
    sure i was kinda disappointed at first til i thought bout tht 10 years ago part…
    2014 Forest Hills was when he really started goin organic cuz felt big enough he ain’t have to make no mainstream moves no more. like the transition from Sideline to Born Sinner was him sayin:
    “im legit scared of how blind i got so fast n how close i came to losin myself for good. learn from me, dont let the world pressure u into shit”
    (ironic cuz the transition from Good Kid to TPAB lowkey sound like the same experience/message)
    now after a decade of puttin out music n energy he feel the world need instead of vice versa n buildin a whole brand off tht shit….damn jus like tht he done felt so much pressure from the world again it made him say shit bout his bro he kno he aint mean but felt the world wanted to hear n it took him straight bacc to tht dark space of
    “damn im movin ingenuine n its makin me lose sight of who i am n what i stand for”
    (my guess is it was the part bout the albums cuz he kno he not only fw all of em but felt em necessary to the culture)
    in reality its less about Kdot n more bout “i wont say or do nothin i dont believe in”. idk why but all the realest jus dont fw lyin at all so this was moreso him sayin:
    “i refuse to do a single thing tht dont represent me. plus this sum i still got control over so idgaf bout admittin im wrong”
    only the realest gone say it was a realass move n any negative opinion lowkey exposin mfs for the childish, lyinass, hypebeast they are 😂🤷🏾‍♂️💯

    Cole has been calling for smoke for YEARS and he went off on the last 3 singles, before the album dropped, daring people to start beef with him.
    Cole been talking SHIT the last 3 years, talking about how he's always felt like 3rd, then realizing he is as good as everyone, then feeling himself, calling himself the GOAT, and DARING someone to start beef.
    Then when it comes TIME to PROVE IT, and there's literally a nuclear bomb dropping, setting the stage to have the MOST anticipated, wanted, and historic beef in all Hip-Hop HISTORY. Cole answers Kendricks insults.
    And we all fnally think "ITS FINALLY HAPPENING, LETS FINALLY SEE WHOS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE."
    And in only TWO DAYS, J Cole is on HIS stage, in from of THOUSANDS of fans and cameras and this dude not only gives the person he's beefing with, the only person that is just as talented as him, who can actually give him some competition, a FUCKING APOLOGY?! But then asks his fans, HIS FANS to praise THE DUDE HE'S BEEFING WITH?!?

Kendrick's trying to get his PGLang thing going and, JCole's prepping for Fall Off. Bro was just cutting a promo.
