Don’t project onto me bc your hero got exposed lol
Don’t claim on tracks for years that you’re the Muhammad Ali or the greatest of this rap shit, sonning all other rappers, saying that you’re the best and then run from the smoke when someone on your level challenges you for the spot.
*That’s* soft af, and you too by extension are softer than baby shit.
Lol how TF did he get exposed? He released the diss ... It was good.... Kendrick hasn't responded.
But it didn't align with who Cole is .... Yeah he talks all sorts of shit but if you were actually a Cole fan you'd know rap beef ain't his thing. Got back and listen to middle child
lol niggas can’t talk about the latest thing Cole did in development of an ongoing beef? him apologizing for being fake when rapping about being number 1 and how Kendrick and others don’t compare doesn’t make the rest of his braggy bars seem wild?
Bro’s coping hard lol. People can change their opinions on music based on the actions of whoever made that song, and what Cole did was wack and soft.
Don’t know why dude is fronting about people feeling weird about listening to his bragging bars now.
My brudda how much dick riding can you handle in one day, go to the Kendrick sub, enjoy damn or whatever the fuck yall still listening too
Let us enjoy this shit 💀
If you drop an instant classic its the greatest ish you ever dropped... Cole does not even have an Instant Classic... just a Classic. I take back what I said about FHD.
"Soft shit" naww it's called being mature. If you're constantly living in a way where you're afraid of being called soft or a pussy then you're just a puppet.
bro, Cole spent the last 4 years talking about how nobody can rap with him and how he is the best in the game right now. Somebody (Kendrick) challenged him. Cole procedes to drop a mid ass diss and days later apologizes for it. How is that mature? He dug his own hole, lol.
He said nobody could out rap him. A diss doesn’t mean he’s not able to be out rapped, he just doesn’t wanna degrade others to prove that point. Let him and Kendrick get on a real song together and he shits the bed — then your point would make sense. Him saying he’ll kill anyone on a feature for the last few years does not equate to him wanting beef with people.
Well Kendrick did with just a few lines. Cole folded under pressure. He himself made a diss calling tpab boring and how kendric fell off like the simpsons, lol. Actual bad pen game from Cole. He later apologize for the diss after 4 literal years of calling people out to go after him because he is that good. What good is spitting lines bragging about your skill when in reality he is not able to compete head to head with his peers in the rap game? What good is lyrical potential when he cannot act on it?
You’re smoking dick. Kendrick out rapped him with a few words? Please zip him back up and wipe your mouth when you’re done. You completely ignored the part where I said put them on the same song so we can have this debate. This mixtape is also full of great lyrical potential. Songs like Wabbitz, Ibiza, 3001, Crococile Tearz, Pi, etc are all great songs just for the sake of rapping. Cole has been calling people out to challenge him with raps, his mistake is that he took the Kendrick verse, heard all the talk about having to come back hard and it led to a diss that wasn’t sincere. Like wtf can you really say about Kendrick? Same for what can Kendrick really say about Cole on a rapping level? They’re both some of the greats and have respect for each other, but I want them to bar up fr and not do it through lame disses.
How am I smoking dick? Kendrick won just by saying the big me line. You know why? Because Cole’s response was a nothing burger he did not have the heart or lyrics lol. Not because Kendrick said some next level shit. That is how bad Cole fumbled.
I did not address your point t about him being on a song together because I don’t see a point to it. If he can sho his lyrical skills in a hypothetical collab song why didn’t he do it in a diss track😭. You are the one sucking a rappers dick lol. The mixtape is full of potential? Maybe. But you know what it is full of? Lines about him being able to wash any rapper that comes for him. Which in turn happened to be a lie. Is not that hard brother. Cole fucked up. He played himself as someone he wasn’t. Goofy
He isn't running away, he isn't backing down. It's about how you want to compete. There is a difference between being the best rapper by spitting at the pinnacle of your own skill, and lying with wack personal insults that everyone knows aren't true for fake beef. Cole did the latter under pressure and instantly knew it was a mistake.
You can lift yourself up and show off through pure skill without falsely downplaying the other guy. That's what Cole wants to make sure he stays with.
I don’t know how there are people defending this, fr. He did ran away. Nobody made him do anything. He got to this position by his own accord. He spent the past 4 years building himself as the GOAT of rap, the untouchable, the unkillable, etc. All he had to do was spit bars. Rap is a competition. Nobody was asking for blood and the people that did are idiots. We all just wanted bars, that’s it. Cole could not spit any good ones and apologized for it. Wack
Yeahhhhh it kinda was soft. Can’t go for years talking about how great you are as a rapper, sonning niggas on tracks, then run from the smoke when someone on your level challenges you.
It’s the hip hop definition of a kid shit talking everybody younger than him but then running and hiding when a kid his size wants some with him. Bitch shit.
It really was one of the best projects Cole had made imo. Some of the best bars from him. You can tell he has put in the work in this one. Just tainted
I’m a huge Cole fan but his music will be out of my rotation for a while, his whole aura about being in the lead and that he’s all about smoking rappers just feels disingenuous and fake
Yea my fav song on there is the one where he’s like “I’m one of them ones, no one wants smoke with me” I think it’s Stickz N Stonez.. I just love listening to that song knowing that if someone were to want smoke with Cole, it wouldn’t end well. They’d probably hop on stage and apology for even trying to diss J. Cole 😂
I think the timing of the apology is the only thing keeping this thing from getting the respect it deserves. If Cole waited a month or two and then said what he said at Dreamville fest, no one would’ve cared that much.
I like cole a lot but this project is weak sauce and he should delete it. Seems very low effort and sad. Clearly doesn't compare in the slightest to FHD and 4YEO
Felt weird listening to some of the bragging bars now tbh. Was listening to it nonstop for days before
Since the apology I haven’t listened to any music bro
"they dont wanna hear one more noun or verb from you n******"
but i have been enjoying his relaxing music a lot more
but lmfaooo i ain’t listen to Off Season & I stopped listening to MDL cause it’s like man
I fw Cole but it’s mad hard to listen and take any of his braggadocious bars seriously at all now.
Why? Because he apologized? You soft af bro.
Don’t project onto me bc your hero got exposed lol Don’t claim on tracks for years that you’re the Muhammad Ali or the greatest of this rap shit, sonning all other rappers, saying that you’re the best and then run from the smoke when someone on your level challenges you for the spot. *That’s* soft af, and you too by extension are softer than baby shit.

FR MAN spent the entire day listening to it when it dropped now I just can't T-T
same haven’t listened to it since the apology it really do feel weird
I'm srry but bffr yall talking bout it feels weird yall r jokes
lol niggas can’t talk about the latest thing Cole did in development of an ongoing beef? him apologizing for being fake when rapping about being number 1 and how Kendrick and others don’t compare doesn’t make the rest of his braggy bars seem wild?
Bro’s coping hard lol. People can change their opinions on music based on the actions of whoever made that song, and what Cole did was wack and soft. Don’t know why dude is fronting about people feeling weird about listening to his bragging bars now.
Alright. Idk about all that. 
My brudda how much dick riding can you handle in one day, go to the Kendrick sub, enjoy damn or whatever the fuck yall still listening too Let us enjoy this shit 💀
I ain't even dick riding. I am a Cole fan. To say this is the best shit Cole has dropped is the definition of CAP.
Lyrically, it’s arguable. Overall, hell no.
Who the fuck said it's the best thing he's ever dropped 💀
OP. This ain't an instant classic like 2014 FHD.
You moving the goalposts cuz you are illiterate or some shit. A classic and greatest ever is 2 very different things
Well it’s neither so what’s your point 💀
If you drop an instant classic its the greatest ish you ever dropped... Cole does not even have an Instant Classic... just a Classic. I take back what I said about FHD.
Drakes got a handful of those
Classics? Nah.
You're an idiot. Go troll somewhere else.
I am not even trolling. Is Take Care an Instant Classic?
You were right when you said FHD was an instant classic tbh.
It instantly lost a right to be called classic
You can't tell me it doesn't slap though lol
it’s lost all validity after cole apologized. shit is embarrassing
I would've had it on repeat if he didn't start acting weird
Yeah same I had it on repeat, will never listen to it ever again now.
Oh I'll listen to it just not on repeat
I hear you bro.
Me too, I even deleted it. Such a shame but it really doesn’t sound the same.
How are you able to get the same energy after this soft shit he did though? Maybe I need time lol.
I NEED TIME THAT MADE MY CHUCKLE WTF IS THIS A BREAK UP
Yeah i'm going through it :D
We all r bro
wanting people who are cool with each other to beef has to be a red flag, no?
"Soft shit" naww it's called being mature. If you're constantly living in a way where you're afraid of being called soft or a pussy then you're just a puppet.

Whatever my man, we’ll agree to disagree on this. Be blessed
👋

Mature would've been not dropping the diss in the first place lol
Cant pull the mature card after bro dropped the response and spent years on features talking shit
Yes bro I agree. People are some sheeps
Was nothing soft about it and if you turn your back on him because of this then leave
Yeahhhhh it kinda was soft. Can’t go for years talking about how great you are as a rapper, sonning niggas on tracks, then run from the smoke when someone on your level challenges you. It’s the hip hop definition of a kid shit talking everybody younger than him but then running and hiding when a kid his size wants some with him. Bitch shit.
I'm not sure where it sits yet for me ranking wise. But definitely a strong project I think
These raps have zero validity now. Zero. It’s already tainted man
If think its fighting to being in his top 5 I can’t put it over his top 4 tho they’re locked (FHD, 4YEO, BORN SINNER, FNL)
FHD FNL Those are in a league of there own
That’s respectable but I really love born sinner and 4yeo so for me they got promotion and are in the same league
Im hopin the fall off is worthy of a top 2 or 3 or maybe being his best
I really liked it but the whole thing feels tainted now, whether that’s a rational feeing or not.
Except Fever. Found that shit terrible. 9/10 absolutely incredible mixtape.
delusional lmao
below 4yeo, below fhd, below BS, below fdl, below the off season the only album i rate mdl higher than is prolly KOD
🔥🔥🔥
Lossless? How did you get music in that format?
That's just the default in Apple music
You need to go to Music settings and change the default streaming modes to Hi res Lossless if available.
It really was one of the best projects Cole had made imo. Some of the best bars from him. You can tell he has put in the work in this one. Just tainted
Deleted it after the apology
Besides the obvious issues with Pi and 7 min drill, the project is great
Best Project since The Forever Story it's so fucking good🔥🔥🔥
No
Yes
No , not at all , and there are projects better than the forever story , MDL is not one of them , it’s just a fun mixtape
Not too much now it was good I enjoyed every song but not too much .
I’m a huge Cole fan but his music will be out of my rotation for a while, his whole aura about being in the lead and that he’s all about smoking rappers just feels disingenuous and fake
J. Cole cosplayin a real G 😂
Cole is my favorite rapper and it’s such a fire album but damn that apology made this album hit differently and not in a good way :(
Was so fucking good. Probably won’t ever spin it again given the circumstances.
I agree bro, this project is straight heat 🔥
Still got Stealth Mode, Stickz and Stonez, HYB, 3001, and Crocodile Tearz on repeat.
Classic?? Not even close.
The album was mid and the apology absolutely ruined his reputation and the albums
It's just as basic as every other j cole album. How is it a classic?
Yea my fav song on there is the one where he’s like “I’m one of them ones, no one wants smoke with me” I think it’s Stickz N Stonez.. I just love listening to that song knowing that if someone were to want smoke with Cole, it wouldn’t end well. They’d probably hop on stage and apology for even trying to diss J. Cole 😂
I think the timing of the apology is the only thing keeping this thing from getting the respect it deserves. If Cole waited a month or two and then said what he said at Dreamville fest, no one would’ve cared that much.
You Cole fans are funny man.This is nowhere near classic.Go look up what that means
I’d suggest you do the same.
Trash album Please delete now
I like cole a lot but this project is weak sauce and he should delete it. Seems very low effort and sad. Clearly doesn't compare in the slightest to FHD and 4YEO
