What’s disappointing is we saw 50 end Jas career by attacking his character and Kendrick is doing the same thing and 50s like “Drakes still making money so how did he lose?”…. We are talking rap here 50 stop it
Maybe he looks at it differently because the stakes were so different. 50 got shot and stabbed by those dudes. Ja was with them. I think they hit the man with a small bat in Atlanta too. It was a lot going on. 50 was wearing bullet proof vests for fashion and had a squad of security.
in all honesty i have always assumed it's great publicity. his merits in rap are beyond question so associating with an unpopular opinion does nothing to his image but gets people talking about his name.50 is a hard person to discern trolling from honesty a lot of times so it really only results in attention on 50 cent
50 is in business with Drake so it makes sense that he would try to downplay Kendrick’s win. I’ve also heard him say lil slick things about Kendrick like calling him a media darling. No matter what anyone says nothing has been the same for Drake since that battle.
Can you tell me how he’s in business with him? Not trying to fight either I’ve been looking for the 50/Drake money connection to make all this make sense but I can’t find one!
@@shawnsdwhy shouldn’t they? He made one of the best rap record of all time during a beef. He should be a media darling he won a freaking Pulitzer and many Grammys, he’s a proven artist and now gets to front Super Bowl. That’s darling material if I ever saw it and well deserved!!
I might be wrong but I’m starting to think J Cole’s bar is getting lost in translation. Didn’t he say “I wouldn’t have lost a battle, I would have lost a bro” I don’t think that automatically means he saying he would have won but losing a brother is worse than losing a rap battle. Ehh idk maybe I’m coping and everyone else’s interpretation is correct because the battle between Cole and KDot was never that serious anyway lol
I agree he may have meant that but at the same time he takes the blame for getting that message mixed up. it was never clear what he "really" meant when he's throwing out contradictory messages and lines every time the subject is raised.
Why would you blame someone for you getting the message wrong? I think most JCole fans understood... I understood clearly. Some people hear what they want to hear.. based on whatever bias or opinions and experienced @kj_H65f
No, people are being intentionally obtuse. Win, lose, or draw he would have lost the relationship with one or both, which is likely the case anyway. Look at how nasty it got. He knows the things he might have to say to win a beef, can’t be taken back, especially when we know this is not about proving who is the best rapper. Although that was established too.
Yes, but he intentionally left it ambiguous and open to interpretation. As a great lyricist, he knew people could and would read that two different ways. He could’ve said I might have lost a battle or going to battle, I could’ve lost a bro.
I don't think 50 cent likes Kendrick. When Drake dropped Family Matters he was celebrating like crazy, but as soon as Kendrick dropped Meet The Grahams he was radio silent until people called him out. Even now he refuses to acknowledge the fact that Kendrick washed Drake and that Drake LOST!
Hes in business with drake + hates rick ross guts, dont think its actually much to do with his feelings towards kendrick. He even had kendrick on his tv show for a few scenes
Yes I totally agree with you. Radio silent when it came to the Kendrick tracks. If you listen to his recent radio interviews he throws alot of shade at Kendrick but in a coded way. I don't think 50 likes Dre as much as people think he does. Same goes for Snoop and Game. They don't like Kdot either.
50 is a real one though. Kendrick has been moving so weird since beef. From needing to put a daughter on drake that didnt exist, to pedo allegations, to using bots. To working deeply with corporations like the NFl and LVMH after kneeling with Kaep just a year ago for the cameras. If you aren't a complete fool, it's easy to see why 50 backs up drake. Same with Lupe.
@@Jason-lr6cs Drake has never used social issues to sell his music or presented himself as an activist for personal gain. Unlike Kendrick, who leveraged activism for awards, only to partner with the NFL the next year looool 95 percent is lost
@@RichardJorkI didn’t know it was 2017 and I sure hope you’re not in support of any black politician that’s supposed to “work within the system” cause they have more influence that they fail to use than the NFL.
U guys are really giving 50 a lot of pass fr.....They asked him if he knew Kendrick had it in him to do Drake like that, and right there, he deflected talking about it was a West Coast territorial thing done beautifully well instead of just saying YES!🤦🏾♀ The guy is smart, and he is gonna support anyone who he benefits from.
@8:58 thing is though, i always felt like all of those guys that he went at on that list (Nas, Jadakiss, and Fat Joe) actually beat him, as far as bars are concerned.
I know people gone dissagree with me but as a huge fan of 50 this year he been acting/moving like a clown it doesn’t take from his legacy or who he is just my respect went substantially down for 50 the way he was on ig this year saying drake was gone kill Kendrick and supporting Drake as if he was babying him and I hate how 50 and Drake both play victim when 50 started all those beefs and Drake started all his it’s so delusional to me how people forget that
You didn’t lose respect for him when he was bullying his son, and allowing his workers and the world to join in. He’s been a hateful bully. He bullied JaRule claiming his “singing” wasn’t a good representation for NY or hip hop, only to copy his style and endear himself to the mainstream. I could go on and on about the underhanded tactics he has employed in making his way to the top. It’s amazing how people are just seeing it.
@@Msboochie2I think he's saying all of 50's past "underhanded tactics" were good for his brand, but this whole infantilization of Drake appears to be off brand for 50. Unless he has underhanded motives planned by being Drake's support system.

Surprised no one calls out 50 for his hypocrisy, he trolls Diddy all the time but does business and has personal relationships with those who committed similar actions to the Diddler😂
"Get rich or Die trying" was 21 YEARS AGO!!!! 50's music has been irrelevant ever since. 50 cent is relevant just by hating, trolling and mocking. 50 needs Ja Rule to still look gangsta when Ja Rule moved on DECADES ago...
@@RichardJork lol, who talked about Kendrick. I have been listening to hip-hop 20 years before Kendrick dropped an album. It's about 50 being a snake since "Ghetto Qur'an", 2000. I don't judge his music but his character. You must be a little boy...
He that dude till he get chipped by a throwaway. Kenny would send Cole to dreamville, flipping his line when he said Kenny's 2nd album put niggas to sleep. Kendrick Lamar said he's smoking on your top 5 and that man didn't tell a lie
This story about the making of ‘Automatic Gunfire’ never gets old to me. I find it hilarious every time because I can only imagine the conversations taking place in the studio during this. 😂🤣 ..to be a fly on the wall.
In my heart of hearts, I think that "The Fall Off" should be his version of "Detox". It's already too hyped and there's very little if anything that he can do to top what's already been done. Plus the situation he put himself in is impossible to climb out of. He's made his mark, bowed out of the fade and then pulled a Smokey from Friday. He only talks when Debo leaves.
This is why 50 is so successful because everyone else has a mindset of when you look at the record labels and entertainment business in general they look at his face value, but 50 looks at it no different than he looks at a hustler street corner of gang banger around the hood, and he treats them as such And that’s why for the most part him and JAY-Z are still on top.
" he looks at a hustler street corner of gang banger " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You, kids, are funny. 50 cents has been a millionaire since 2005. he doesn't know anything about the street today, he's a corporate dude, endorsing products and producing movies. Watch 50 cent around rich white dude and tell me if you ever ever seen him act tough, THAT'S why he's successful, keeping niggaz in check and pleasing corporate people. He needs to keep his tough guy image or he will just be treated as an old dude. He knows when to put a suit and show his white teeth.
realizing that Cole was a lot of these older rappers favorites after the apology, they were also so hurt and disappointed.....the Jadakiss one hurt me the most
A 50 cent interview is always super entertaining. He is my favorite out of NYC. I’m glad he didn’t take the Jay z route and stopped doing interviews. Love 50.
Why do we care about a 50 rap take? Dudes main gig has been professional investing since vitamin water. I'll take suggestions for private equity investing and leave his takes on art and culture to them for whom such things actually matter deeply. Also 9 second applause for his 7 bar verse on hate it love it.
On May 7, 2003, my childhood friend took 3 to the chest cus he got caught up in the crystal trade that overran our town. I was grazed twice. Many Men (Wish 💀) was the first rap/hip hop song I ever *really* listened to. I was in the project car we had built, endlessly changing stations cus the meaningless endless country rock slop just somehow didn’t hit right, didn’t feel… real. 50 Cent was the first artist I ever heard that actually grew up as poor, as desperate, and yet as dedicated to friends and finding the party as the people I grew up with. I bought Get Rich or Die Tryin the next day. He made me into a hip hop & rap fan, and honestly I’ve never once been disappointed by his interviews, etc. he’s just him-smart, cunning, funny, trying his best. I work in policy now, advocating equality policy from menstrual equity to overcoming historical redlining. I remember so clearly listening to Get Rich or Die Tryin’ I realized that people who didn’t look like me, live near me, or even in a place much like mine, had more in common with me than either of us did with the owner class standing on all our necks. He’s at the top of my list for “you must meet one of your heroes and the challenge is for them to be who you expect them to be.” Idk, he just seems so genuine all the time-even when he’s having to be strategic in a discussion because of business interests.
Right! I was like that diss record came out after get rich or die trying and Dre and em were involved with the beef from jump that’s why they got him off Columbia.
I agree that Cole moved in a weird way in so much of this, especially that port antonio track. but i think that in this whole discussion there’s been talk of “hip hop is competitive it’s a competitive art form you can’t take that out of hip hop” when it’s just not always the case. it obviously has a competitive side but that’s not what every rapper has been about. andre 3000 explained this one to us only child style. some rappers are competitors on top of being artists and some are just artists. Cole’s misstep is not being comfortable enough picking an option, but i don’t feel like the choice to not compete is wrong.
Did you see 50's comparison of Drake to LL Cool J? I understood why he said that ghat but i would describe him as a combination of LL and Jay Z. (Melodic approach plus sales plus large artist output) I don't know who I would compare Kendrick to tbh
Being compared to someone means you're not doing anything that hasn't been seen before.... you're following trails of other people Not having comparisons, that's you being unique and blazing your own trail...
Hey Justin! Love your content and your daily updates/news. But I REALLYY miss your deep dives (a la "Drake deserves the smoke") and I wish you did more of them. Wish you the best ❤❤
One thing I noticed about 50, he admires artists who do below par versions of things he does. It’s like he enjoys to watch and say, “That was cute. Close, no dice!”.
honestly, it takes courage to speak out against kendrick and his industry / media backing. Cheering on kendrick and the machine in this context is crazy
Everybody dont have to take the same routes in rap beefs. J.cole got nothing to feel bad about. He handled it like a grown man. Because of J.cole music influence over me led me threw the years to stop a gun fight at the city courts and walk away from 4 dudes trying to jump me. Keep being a positive influence on young brothers! 👊
J. Cole is the equivalent of having a third leg. He knows it, we know it. I'm sorry, dude, but fights don't require extra people. The beef is between Dot and Drake. Everyone knows that. 50 is a genius simply based on the fact that he has foresight. Plus, it doesn't hurt that 50 has one of the most destructive rappers of all time and the most influential producer of all time behind him. I love you, Jermaine Lamarr Cole, but you're cannon fodder. Take the money and walk away.
@@RichardJork someone who hasn’t plastered himself all over social media via videos and interviews at any given chance to be a contrarian just because they thirst for attention - that is 50 in a nutshell for the past whatever decades he’s been around.
Drake hates the west coast because of what happened with game. Alot of bloods were pressing GUnit at the time and 50 never forgot. Those same bloods are rocking with kdot
Lol yall gonna look so dumb when cole drops . Not his fault yall so dumb cant comprehend lyrics . He legit clowns yall on port antonio about the same thing . And yall still say " he said he woulda won " the intelligent level on these media platforms are basement level low. How is a rap fan able to decipher the lyrics better than media personality and podcasters
50 is a cancer and Drake is Scorpio, that combination in any relationship type is a perfect complimenting bond astrology wise. They get each other pettiness, insecurities, fears, dreams, hopes, goals, etc. I've never seen any other duo in astrology better.
cause kendrick used bots, his industry connections and rumours instead of trusting his pen. Drake outrapped kendrick while exposing his true values and morals. We saw kendrick spiral with that superbowl song afterwards, trying to project he is anti industry lmao
@RichardJork if the lies you just typed keeps you in your matrix of drake glazing why should I even attempt to free your imprisoned mind, you've adapted to you cell. Spewing your opinions as fact is a sweeping pandemic with drake fans... how sad....

Live in the fake matrix of drakes lies if the make you feel good about his demolishing, that cosplaying poser love loyal glazers like wakademics who wont admit drakes a master manipulator Wait, let's look at all the lies drake told: Take that mask off, I wanna see what's under them achievements Why believe you? You never gave us nothin' to believe in 'Cause you lied about religious views, you lied about your surgery You lied about your accent and your past tense, all is perjury You lied about your ghostwriters, you lied about your crew members They all pxssy, you lied on 'em, I know they all got you in 'em You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh You lied about them other kids that's out there hopin' that you come You lied about the only artist that can offer you some help Fxck a rap battle, this a long life battle with yourself
@RichardJork 50 doesn't respect Drake. 50 could never respect a dude who got peed on and didn't do anything. 50 knows he a lame and fake, but he don't care because Drake has more fame and connections. It's the same reason why alot of industry people had no problem co-signing Kendrick openly
50 was just with Top Dawg and TDE everyone knows 50 is completing a transaction that predates the battle. He likes Kendrick..... 50 giving Drake a pep talk like that means he doesnt respect him lol. Its 50 people need to understand he might aswell call Drake soft.
50 isn't gonna support kendrick. He doesn't have to, he is an intelligent and independent black man that doesn't need to play industry games for respect anymore

Ayy 1 sec applause for 50 interviews 😭😭😭😭
wtf is up with grown men thinking it's okay to talk about people's children in a rap song??? glad 50 got in Ja's ass for that.
50 lying about Ja Ruke saying anything about Hailie. He didn’t do that till they 50 made Back Down on Get Rich Or Die Trying.
Right! I was like that diss record came out after get rich or die trying and Dre and em were involved with the beef from jump that’s why they got him off Columbia.
You gave 50 so many 1 seond applauses...shouldve just gave him the whole 9 second applause 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
50 an insider that makes ppl think outside But he not Company he really not🤞🏿
I agree that Cole moved in a weird way in so much of this, especially that port antonio track. but i think that in this whole discussion there’s been talk of “hip hop is competitive it’s a competitive art form you can’t take that out of hip hop” when it’s just not always the case. it obviously has a competitive side but that’s not what every rapper has been about. andre 3000 explained this one to us only child style. some rappers are competitors on top of being artists and some are just artists. Cole’s misstep is not being comfortable enough picking an option, but i don’t feel like the choice to not compete is wrong.
Did you see 50's comparison of Drake to LL Cool J? I understood why he said that ghat but i would describe him as a combination of LL and Jay Z. (Melodic approach plus sales plus large artist output)
I don't know who I would compare Kendrick to tbh
Being compared to someone means you're not doing anything that hasn't been seen before.... you're following trails of other people
Not having comparisons, that's you being unique and blazing your own trail...
Hey Justin! Love your content and your daily updates/news. But I REALLYY miss your deep dives (a la "Drake deserves the smoke") and I wish you did more of them. Wish you the best ❤❤
Everything Justin does is moving the goalposts for Kendrick. I get you want an echo chamber, but objective analysis could really benefit this page
I don't think there's one 50 interview where I don't find myself laughing hysterically at some point.
You must be paid to hate.
50 is slick and funny lol
50 the Bad Guy 😂👌
I need a 50 and Kanye, watch the throne 2 album.
Now people don't like 50 cause he ain't d riding Kendrick the god 😂😂😂😂😂
Good audio
Justin, ain’t you from North Carolina?
Dre had to get permission from Jimmy... 50 stole that spray at everyone from Tupac.
One thing I noticed about 50, he admires artists who do below par versions of things he does. It’s like he enjoys to watch and say, “That was cute. Close, no dice!”.
You still obsess with Cole 🥜
I wish 50 cent could stop using the battle to stay in media. I don’t care to hear what he got going on- his face is annoying
honestly, it takes courage to speak out against kendrick and his industry / media backing. Cheering on kendrick and the machine in this context is crazy
@@RichardJorkDude are you gonna leave reductive comments on every single comment down here?
Push ups was/is assss
Everybody dont have to take the same routes in rap beefs. J.cole got nothing to feel bad about. He handled it like a grown man. Because of J.cole music influence over me led me threw the years to stop a gun fight at the city courts and walk away from 4 dudes trying to jump me. Keep being a positive influence on young brothers! 👊
📌💯
Damn bro well done
Don't claim you're the best if you're not going to prove it. Cole is the one who misled rap fans.
@@animec-dramaskpop6362 you misled yourself.A lot of you are lost
@kodablu2529 Yeah no. Cole is a coward.
50 sounds like an old mob boss
Old Federal Agent
@ that’s good 😂
💀
@@TheCompanyManwhy aren’t you talking about Quincy Jones dying? Is that not news ?
He’s very slowly morphing into season 1 tony soprano
That doesn’t make sense, because Interscope has been under Universal since the 90s.
He was talking about when he signed to Columbia first.
@@TheCompanyManOh, okay. I bought the Power of the Dollar EP from Best Buy when he was on Columbia.
I don't think 50 can survive the 10th.
J. Cole is the equivalent of having a third leg. He knows it, we know it. I'm sorry, dude, but fights don't require extra people. The beef is between Dot and Drake. Everyone knows that. 50 is a genius simply based on the fact that he has foresight. Plus, it doesn't hurt that 50 has one of the most destructive rappers of all time and the most influential producer of all time behind him. I love you, Jermaine Lamarr Cole, but you're cannon fodder. Take the money and walk away.
50 is such a cornball.
@@JohnWayne26053 wrong
What would you call kendrick then? Lol.
@@RichardJorksomeone that’s got you in every comment section trying to find the perfect narrative to kill his support.
@@RichardJork someone who hasn’t plastered himself all over social media via videos and interviews at any given chance to be a contrarian just because they thirst for attention - that is 50 in a nutshell for the past whatever decades he’s been around.
Drake hates the west coast because of what happened with game. Alot of bloods were pressing GUnit at the time and 50 never forgot. Those same bloods are rocking with kdot
Why is @thecompanyman not talking about Quincy jones dying?
He needs to move the goal posts for kendrick first and foremost, it's in his contract.
why aren’t you talking about Quincy Jones dying? Is that not news ?
He's most likely going to get to it.
Wth man... you've obviously already heard the news... you need everyone to speak on it? And it just happened
he needs to move the goalposts for kendrick first
@@RichardJork He literally addressed Quincy Jones an hour after this video. No goal post shift in sight.
Is 50 on Drake payroll. He has been “subtly” defending him since the beef started
Lol yall gonna look so dumb when cole drops . Not his fault yall so dumb cant comprehend lyrics . He legit clowns yall on port antonio about the same thing . And yall still say " he said he woulda won " the intelligent level on these media platforms are basement level low. How is a rap fan able to decipher the lyrics better than media personality and podcasters
It's all about clicks and engagement... or maybe they're actually that dumb? Who knows.
100 percent, the impressionable internet class is so lost, they are programmed to like kendrick at this point
50 Cent is an a$$hole, but hes an entertaining one.
So the kbots are mad that 50 didn’t give Kendrick unanimous support ?
Where’d you see that?
You got a short on your page with 6:16 in LA like get fr. I guess you a bot too.
@@TheCompanyMan not from you Justin, just guys in your comments.
@@jstun2318 good song that my brother.
Be kind. Like the video, Company man. :)
What happened to 50 Cent?
Cole exposing kendrick for using bots was imperative though. Respect the man for doing that 100
Especially in this industry right now where everyone, including Justin, consistently moves the goal posts for Kendrick for every thing.
@@MrASAPAB exactly
@@RichardJorkJ Cole exposed Kendrick for using not in what way? Must be using the same bots cause I never hear j Cole music .
J cole is 💯 percent 😹
Just being honest Push Ups wasn't better then Back 2 Back! An that's what lost the vibe for me. It could have been better! My opinion!
50 is a cancer and Drake is Scorpio, that combination in any relationship type is a perfect complimenting bond astrology wise. They get each other pettiness, insecurities, fears, dreams, hopes, goals, etc. I've never seen any other duo in astrology better.
See even with 50 being team drake he can acknowledge that drake lost, why can't all of these ovo crash dummies do the same.
cause kendrick used bots, his industry connections and rumours instead of trusting his pen. Drake outrapped kendrick while exposing his true values and morals. We saw kendrick spiral with that superbowl song afterwards, trying to project he is anti industry lmao
@@RichardJorkok white boy.
@RichardJork if the lies you just typed keeps you in your matrix of drake glazing why should I even attempt to free your imprisoned mind, you've adapted to you cell. Spewing your opinions as fact is a sweeping pandemic with drake fans... how sad....
Unfound fairtails from the fake thug with pigtails. Live in the fake matrix of drakes lies if the make you feel good about his demolishing, that cosplaying poser love loyal glazers like wakademics who wont admit drakes a master manipulator Wait, let's look at all the lies drake told: Take that mask off, I wanna see what's under them achievements
Why believe you? You never gave us nothin' to believe in
'Cause you lied about religious views, you lied about your surgery
You lied about your accent and your past tense, all is perjury
You lied about your ghostwriters, you lied about your crew members
They all pxssy, you lied on 'em, I know they all got you in 'em
You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh
You lied about them other kids that's out there hopin' that you come
You lied about the only artist that can offer you some help
Fxck a rap battle, this a long life battle with yourself
50 knows long term there is more money working with Drake. 50 no different than all these people who co-sign Drake, but lowkey don't respect him.
or just respects drake more than a man who calls himself the boogeyman but needs bots and fake daughter allegations 🤣
@RichardJork 50 doesn't respect Drake. 50 could never respect a dude who got peed on and didn't do anything. 50 knows he a lame and fake, but he don't care because Drake has more fame and connections. It's the same reason why alot of industry people had no problem co-signing Kendrick openly
50 was just with Top Dawg and TDE everyone knows 50 is completing a transaction that predates the battle. He likes Kendrick..... 50 giving Drake a pep talk like that means he doesnt respect him lol. Its 50 people need to understand he might aswell call Drake soft.
50 isn't gonna support kendrick. He doesn't have to, he is an intelligent and independent black man that doesn't need to play industry games for respect anymore
Unpopular opinion. All the power shows suck 🫰
50 lying about Ja Ruke saying anything about Hailie. He didn’t do that till they 50 made Back Down on Get Rich Or Die Trying.
I know people gone dissagree with me but as a huge fan of 50 this year he been acting/moving like a clown it doesn’t take from his legacy or who he is just my respect went substantially down for 50 the way he was on ig this year saying drake was gone kill Kendrick and supporting Drake as if he was babying him and I hate how 50 and Drake both play victim when 50 started all those beefs and Drake started all his it’s so delusional to me how people forget that
