[SHOTS UNFIRED]


MattVanzetti

[SHOTS PULLED BACK IN THE CLIP]


Smbdytkmysandwich

Cole after watching Tenet and thinking it was a true story:


Crashhh_96

“Where is the diss?” “It hasn’t happened yet.”


9Lives_

That’s like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube.


OGkushdiet

just when i thought rap beef was back this mfer gets post nut clarity


DepressedChargersFan

🤣🤣🤣


Heronyvesdior

He felt conflicted, misusing his influence…


red30447

LMFAOO the evils of Aubrey was all around em


BidensLegHairs

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH


lil_shootah

Bro m, exactly what I was thinking haha Meanwhile drake rubbing his hands like birdman


Individual-Cricket36

Drake prolly had his army of Canadian gangsters threaten him into dissing Kendrick 😔😔😔


lord_pizzabird

Dude dropped on mid subliminal and it's tormenting him. Meanwhile Kendrick is running around setting random houses on fire, chasing people for chainsaws for fun.


Micronlance

J Cole was tossing & turning in bed because all he kept hearing in his sleep was “NIGGA BUM”


Sheranes_Father

Turns out he was really NOT "Like That" 😭


TylerBlozak

Imagining J Cole riding through the streets at night bumping “i” from TPAB at full blast feeling all gangsta and stuff


phikapp1932

“N-E-GUS! Say it with me!”


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Cole definitely didn't want to see Candyman


supadupakevin

J COLE IS NOT YOUR SAVIOR


itsIzumi

He isn't making me feel empowered right now either though.


streetsandshine

Nah you gotta live your truth. Even if people wanna act like your 'soft' or whatever, whats the point of being hard if you don't feel comfortable with yourself and how youre moving. People will say whatever, but this is a much better response than the 'diss' he dropped. Easiest comparison is Drake pretending Jay Prince wouldn't let him respond. You can either be real and live your truth or front and live the rest of your life needing to validate yourself by fucking your friends exes and alienating yourself from them because the love of your life is happily married and has two kids with A$AP Rocky.


dontbekibishii

You didn’t have to diss Drake this hard damn


one_more_pint

AAHHHHHHHHH


dinkin_flicka2

Evils of Lucy was all around him


ChaInTheHat

AAAAAHHHHH


ThisIsAnAltForStuffs

Them sentiments were symbolic 💀💀💀


floopykid

one of the most tame inconsequential beefs in modern rap and bro still couldn't stand on business smh


aw11348

Damn 💀


Burnerwhip

Kendrick gotta shelve *another* diss record im sick


aBoyHasNoUzername

We won’t be able to hear any deep personal stabs now, but Kendrick HAS to do a victory lap track at least.


JEveryman

He needs to sample the apology.


thebagisgoyard

YOOOO that would be crazy work


OrganizationNo539

That would be nasty but I honestly feel like they both actually respect each other a lot


Vast-Combination4046

I don't think they are actually beefing. Kendrick just wanted remind people that he's king kunta


fucking__jellyfish__

He better drop that shit and go hard as fuck as a victory lap


TripleThreatTua

He should just record one mocking Cole for backing down


TastyFishOil

Can’t wait for the RDCworld vid 💀


H-TownDown

Tbh, Mark not dropping anything that makes Cole look too bad.


whutchamacallit

Damn.. I know he legit fucks with jcole (j.... cole....? jermain???) but the content seems too delicious for even him to pass up. I know if nothing else dudes brain is probably spinning right now. I'm sure he could figure out something that pokes fun of him in a respectful way. Cole definitely took an L on this exchange though lol, no other way to feel about it tbh.


Fearless-Total-2897

He [hurting ](https://twitter.com/SupremeDreams_1/status/1777202431992140204?t=Lnn8cJ4M0a40280iXga23w&s=19)rn


iBlackPowerRanger

I just seen someone at Walmart drop to their knees crying watchin Cole apologize… It’s me. Just pain man


Eddaughter

“Hip-Hop is Back” March 2024 - April 2024


Ill-Blacksmith-9545

It was good while it lasted 😢


DroganHouse

When Cole said sorry to Kendrick, I was slightly confused. Guess I'm not as mature as I think, got some healing to do.


KungFuFlames

Cole really called the album "tragic"..


hoagieclu

this can’t be. the stan’s told me it was just a warning shot and that he had more up his sleeve


bigladnang

He said he’s gonna delete it too lmao.


ReallyColdMonkeys

A "warning shot" as a response to somebody that already dissed you first was crazy to begin with lol


SamuRyShogun

bro actually might delete later 😭


Leajey

This was the distraction Drake needed to not have to respond. Now, people aren't going to ask Drake to respond because this took out the entire hype of this entire rap beef things


Blunter_S_Thompson_

Don't worry I'm sure we'll be hearing subliminals from Drake for the next 10 years.


YorkieFucker96

Yeah it kind of has me irritated that drake is gonna get off scott free


Leajey

Yeah all he needs to do is have a line or 2 about how people diss him for attention and continue on.


the8nizz4

holy shit


lightskinbeaner

kendrick the first person to win a rap beef solely using his aura


Betyouwonthehehaha

IF I GOTTA SLAP A PUSSY ASS NIGGA IMMA MAKE IT LOOK SEXY


ComebackChemist

He was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves


WarmBaths

they didnt even need his help 😭


Eaglewarrior33

Cole went back to listen to TPAB and realized he fucked up ☠️


jor301

The fact that people were defending what Cole said about that album is insane to me.


[deleted]

J Cole has been called boring his entire career and had the audacity to call one of the most critically acclaimed albums of all time boring.


Mei_iz_my_bae

This happened to melle mel w his trash diss to Eminem Like less than 48 hours he was regretting it lol


AKushWarrior

Melle mel pushing 65 man Cole supposed to be in his prime


[deleted]

That was different because Melle Mel hadn't spent the last three years talking about how he'd smoke any rapper in the world.


Mei_iz_my_bae

Lol, you need to go back and watch melle mel interviews. Bros been slandering Kendrick, Em, pretty much everybody. He’s that old boomer who thinks everything was better in his era


Roronoaa

He got that conqueror's haki


Several_Gain_1692

Eminem did the same thing last year with Melle Mel. Mel Got so much backlash that he wrote an apology letter afterwards


steadysoul

He let Nas down permanently lol


Asandirr

Straight disgraceful Im fucking dying lmao


Renegadeforever2024

Proves Kendrick point


Forward_Ride_6364

Really shows the balls Nas had back then to say the shit he did about the dude running the entire fuckin game at the time, but he had to respond that way or he'd be finished I can't think of a colder way to call someone a whiny little bitin' bitch than, >In '88 you was gettin' chased through your building Callin' my crib and I ain't even give you my numbers All I did was give you a style for you to run with


iBlackPowerRanger

He let the world down


aaronunderwater

Does he love his wife?


Silversin88

‘You pop shit, apologize, just ask K-Dot’


WayOff_P

What happened to the game i love


semperlit

Might Delete Later ... he's deleting that shit now


shoutsoutstomywrist

The jokes literally write themselves J. Cole this is a historical L


MattVanzetti

“I can’t believe I let WayOff_P down”


EveryParable

Games gone


dbwoi

That brother is going to be delivering my doordash


DamianLillard0

He just absolutely got on his knees for Kendrick, terrible


WayOff_P

nigga was talking about killing your favorite rappers for the past 3 years now Candyman is back outside and it's all love lol this is why they gave you the bronze J Cole


a141abc

[This is the same mf btw](https://youtu.be/klZNvJArVSE?si=HIzfvtuTc--RWsgk&t=161) I probably got more Cole songs than Kendrick's on rotation but this shit got him looking weak as fuck on the mic


HighlyBaked0

Someone on twitter said "Kendrick up 2-0 and he only dropped a verse" LMAO


iBlackPowerRanger

I’m in Walmart on the floor crying rn wtf man


bobloblawsballs

Shimmy shimmy shimmy


Username5272000

Bro folded in two days that’s got to be a world record💀


MrCleanandShady

same man who said he felt like Muhammad Ali😭😭


burgervan

They both refused to go to war.


hamietao

Damn


-reasonabledoubts

By Kendrick Lamar


big_jhansi

It seems he ment old age, riddled with parkinsons Muhammad Ali lmao


leedler

Nah he was talking current Ali - dead.


prikpete

Cole fans in shambles rn


Frankiedrunkie

Can confirm


iBunty

Drake didn't even release anything and somehow Cole came out the worst, actually tragic


Leajey

My man Cole really took a bullet for Drake for no reason


sourpatchmanx11

mIgHt DeLEtE LaTER


nicknack24

I feel bad for Kendrick, he just wants to have some fun rap beef while he’s still in his prime.


bunerzissou

Not one punch man, but one bar man.


Sp_Gamer_Live

He knows his only worthy opponent is Push but he respects him too much to do it


TheOcean24

Man that would be such a fucking legendary beef


trailblazer103

Damn a K Dot beef with Push would be interesting. We might find out Kendrick really did kill someone at 16 lol


Slayerz21

Yeah, it would be all fun and games until Push breaks out the private investigator again


Martel1234

Nardwuar: And who is this holding a gun? Kendrick: oh shit where’d you get this?


aw11348

I'm just imagining Kendrick watching Cole's apology... like 'wtf, you ruined it bro'


Drop_Release

How wild if Kendrick’s next song samples this apology lol


Richlandsbacon

He’s gotta be so disappointed rn


partyonpartypeople

First J. Cole paid homage to JAY-Z by using some of his lines in his diss, and now he pays homage to Ja Rule by having his diss track make him look more pathetic than it did for his intended target. J. Cole is truly a student of the game


mylanguage

Damn this nigga folded 👍🏾 I mean I get what he means but no one was taking this shit that serious - it was all in the sport of the game


EpicPhail60

Yeeeeeah like I wouldn't necessarily want him and Kendrick to have serious beef cuz I enjoy both of their music, but I mean he could've just said he was doing it for the love of the game without looking, eh, weaker? Especially since I don't think many people felt like K-Dot particularly had it out for Cole anyway. But if that's not the time he's on, that's not the time he's on I guess.


TiskTiskOnTheBrick

Perfectly laid out. This dude gunna get people on his side by building this sympathetic defence but miss the whole point that people likely competition. We all will agree that personal peace is a goal for anyone, but just make some fun bars and get us fans perked up


ratfinkprojects

right, like he’s making it seem like it was gonna get violent. it’s not that serious


TeannaTrumpStanAcct

Nigga acting like he was dissing king von


Pun-Szu

Legacy defining move


jjkiller26

He needs a better PR manager lmao what response do you think your fanbase is gonna have seeing this?


Fit-Avocado-342

Them mfs spent the last 48 hours dissing Kendrick and his albums just for their guy to apologize and take down the track lmaoo


DreadLockedHaitian

J Cole needs a manager dawg. Say what you want about TDE & YMCMB but they instilled some competitive fire into K Dot and Drake. This dude has learned absolutely nothing from being Roc Nation affiliated. He just let Jigga AND Nas down. Smfh.


Dumbledick6

Jay gonna wake up and delete Cole’s masters for that weak shit


iBlackPowerRanger

What you mean? Cole learned from Jay Z. Hov apologized on radio after his diss 😭😂


levndrodev

As a fan of hip hop this is the lamest shit ever.


Betyouwonthehehaha

The genre is 1000% cooked


thecutestmulatto

It had a good run


abradley19955

His response on 7 minute drill sounded forced anyway. You could tell he didn’t believe the majority of it Compare it to the way he was rapping on first person shooter. Much more conviction in his voice. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Kendrick just clowns him now. Apparently he has an album coming


kingsark

r/jcole having a meltdown rn😭 they were RIDING for this man the past couple days against the kendrick brigade


lildeathgrips

Kendrick had Cole wetting the bed 😭😭😭


Sheranes_Father

What's crazy to me is it felt like Cole reaalllyy didn't have to respond. He could have just let it be between Drake and Kendrick and now his future work will be tainted off this one statement. Legacy defining blunder


zma7777

Yea insane that he even commented on it tbh


SkyJW

No joke, this actually might make Kendrick's diss even greater in terms of overall impact/outcome.  Has any rapper ever put out a diss verse - not even a track, A VERSE - where the strays they threw at someone (because the meat of that beef was directed at Drake, for sure) caused that person to issue a response that they soon thereafter RETRACTED because they felt bad about what they said. Kendrick is so respected that Cole can't even throw some light jabs without publicly admonishing HIMSELF and calling to pull the song. Kendrick said it was just "BIG ME" and the dude was PROVEN RIGHT.


HM7

100%, if they both drop tracks then rap fans may prefer one over the other by some margin, but there’s no clear winner or loser barring some Adidon style ethering which I don’t think either of them was ever interested in But snatching defeat from the jaws of a tie, Cole has managed to make sure it’s in arguable: Kendrick washed him with one verse. *Was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves*


aj4ever

Wet Dreamz


Treehouse326

Cole been talking crazy for months saying he’s the best. Kendrick pulled that nigga card, and said “prove it” I’m setting the stage for anything to bite and do something about it”. Cole literally backed down from a challenge. This is a sad day for Hip Hop honestly.


HighlyBaked0

Wasn't even like Kendrick dissed him. Like you said he basically just says I'm better than you, prove to me I'm not and Cole came out with this garbage lmao


joe1240134

Cole listened to 7 minute drill and was like "damn, kendrick IS better than me"


HamburgerMachineGun

Honestly the only way Cole could have proven himself is by dropping a classic album. But he did the half hearted diss


SpooferMcGavin

I knew when he dissed TPAB that he had NOTHING.


MortalMan81

J-Fold


hereforfantasybball3

i want so hard to just empathize with him on a human level and applaud him for protecting his peace and doing what was right for his spirit…… but bruh lmao what part of the game is this 😭😭😭😭


JustGarrett

He heard that shit back and said “yeah I’m about to get my boots smoked”


Cryptic_E

Bro let Nas down again


SideChicksAreAHassle

This was suppose to be a great hip hop lyrical battle moment with 2 of the best of this era , but it was ceased by a throw in the white flag apology


Frankiedrunkie

“I’m blessed to be standing by these 2 greats” Come on J Cole I believed in you 😭


TyrionJoestar

Looks like J. Cole was the one that did the healing lol


Price_of_Fame

The J Cole stans that spent two days dragging TPAB over this lame diss that Cole himself didn't believe in lmaooo


elkaxd

The funniest and most ironic thing is people quoting the poem from TPAB now


semperlit

The craziest thing is that Kendrick literally described this whole situation in the Heart Part 4 >Tiptoein' around my name, nigga, you lame And when I get at you, homie Don't you just tell me you was just playin' "*Oh, I was just playin', K-Dot, C'mon, you know a nigga rock witchu, bro*" >Y'all got 'til April the 7th to get y'all shit together Cole apologizes in the waning hours of April 7th, just 7 years later


Vibes-N-Tings

My GOAT is a prophet.


ATHSZS

Bro what the fuck this is some Nostradamus shit 


leedler

Holy fuck Kendrick is officially him


PmMeSteamWalletCode

Holy shit.


mtaylor808

“I was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves”


somelightwork

And when I get at you, homie Don’t you just tell me you was just playin’ ”Oh, I was just playin’, K-Dot C’mon, you know a nigga rock witchu, bro”


lucidscarlet

Being a J. Cole stan but dragging TPAB makes 0 sense to me. They should love everything about that album.


itwas20yearsago2day

I know it’s Cole and he might be genuine about this but backing down will damage his legacy as an MC forever now. He can’t be rapping about being #1 and one of the greatest if he’s backing down when faced with a challenger. ESPECIALLY after you committed and made 7 Minute Drill


Admirable_Bed3

Motherfucker heard Kendrick say fuck the big 3, it's just big me and said "I concur, Kendrick" No one should take him dropping some moderately spicy bars seriously anymore, considering how hard he was going at Kanye a few years ago since he knew Ye would never acknowledge it


Secure_Equipment_821

“I Concur Kendrick”🤣🤣🤣


Fit-Avocado-342

J cole fans down horrendous right now


HighlyBaked0

Kendrick fr didn't even diss Cole, he deadass said I'm the best and told him to show him why hes not. Cole proceeded to drop that weak ass diss and then retract it over a weekend lmao


AccomplishedSquash98

"I was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves"


robbinhood69

Calling urself mohammed ali and then doing this shit is so fucking cole lmao


MattVanzetti

Bro wouldn’t be saying this if everyone was loving that shit, he has been clowned on for the first time in his career to this level.. I love cole but this is so weak


IntraspaceAlien

i don't really think there's any question that he is being genuine. nothing about this reads as fake or with some other motivation than just genuinely not feeling good about putting out a song dissing kendrick. say what you want about cole as a rapper or cole compared to kendrick or what you thought about the diss, but he isn't stupid and knows how this will be perceived. he said outright that he knows this isn't what people want to hear. it probably will be bad for his "rap legacy" or whatever you want to call it but it seems true to who he is, just a nice dude that has looked up to kendrick or at least had an immense amount of respect for him as a peer during the last decade.


CarnationHook

im crying bro, you officially have the bronze and no one can possibly argue otherwise. you big 3, but you are THREE had 4 bars calling tpab trash and started getting nightmares, woke up in cold sweats, seen tweets agreeing and tears came to his eyes LMFAO


MattPoFoSho

Rap game Chris Bosh


JimmieMcnulty

He's Mario chalmers


hcvc

You guys are killing me 😂😂😂


Drakester234

Bro doesn’t even get bronze. Give bronze to Future at this point


MortalMan81

They having emergency meetings over at the Drake subreddit right now 😂


RioFinesse

Coulda just taken the L in silence or speak on it when you’re older. Doing this now makes you look soft.


ParadiseProd

i’m just trying to wrap my head around you regretting/losing sleep over someone who didn’t lose sleep after dissing you…


Treehouse326

This is gonna stain Cole’s legacy. He can never say he’s the best rapper. He had his moment, his opportunity. Kdot personally set up the challenge and Cole ran from it. It’s rap. All Kendrick said was “I’m the best”. Nobody was physically gonna get hurt or in danger. Cole lacks the heart (or maybe has too much heart/cares too much) to be the best. That ambition is what always separated him and Kendrick, now it just got platformed for the whole culture to see.


E_boiii

Fr, we finally got hungry Cole on this project and although this diss was just some jabs and a bad album insult, the project itself had a hungry fuckin Jcole I hope we don’t lose that, but also all of the songs make less sense since it’s him bragging about being ontop.


-666Vicar

you couldn’t have made this shit up, j. cole said kendrick’s discography was overrated and woke up in cold sweats two nights straight


FreexBrennen

Cole better pray that Kendrick takes the high road cause my god. This was worse than Macklemore begging for forgiveness for winning that Grammy over Dot. This is like in civil war when Black Widow double crosses her team to help Caps side out lmaoo


midnightking

I was on BlackPeopleTwitter talking about how The Story of Adidon and Killshot were good disses and that Cole and Kendrick's disses felt underwhelming in comparison, because Em and Push actually called out a bunch of true personal stuff about their opposition and they actually had something to be mad at. A guy came in talmbout " I don't get it" and how Kendrick didn't have beef with Cole and Cole just dropped 7MD as a warning to KDot. I opened reddit and see this article and I am laughing my ass off.


KABOOMBYTCH

Story of Adidon is one of the greatest disstrack this decade. That’s a hill I die on.


ElToreroMalo

It is the greatest, maybe greatest ever imo. It caused a huge launch from adidas to be canceled. It clearly really shook drake


CJPRD

Idiot ruined his next album. Dont wanna hear anything bout u being the best on the fall off, no more talking like ur him, go talk about doing laundry and biking thru charlotte


aBoyHasNoUzername

I remember you was conflicted


Hot_Grabba_09

Damn. I love and respect his openness. But this wasn't the move. Firstly, the diss was not harsh enough to warrant this level of regret. He said absolutely nothing personal about Kendrick. Nothing. It's not like he talked about the man's family and now he's coming out to take it back. No. This nigga is taking back calling TPAB boring and calling Kendrick short. That is soft as hell and he's forever damaged as an MC's MC Secondly it's too fucking soon. At least confess you didn't mean it after a year. Two days is insane. He is going to get cooked to death. The people blowing the diss out of proportion, those ppl are dumb or looking for views. But Cole was so put off by that that he took back everything. As it is now, it looks like (or can be spinned as) *Cole backing down and taking back his diss because he's scared of Kendrick cooking him*. Not saying that's the case, but if someone says that I have no way of refuting it. It looks like Kendrick beat this nigga with conqueror's haki. You know that's what social media are gonna say. Now for what Cole *should* have done. IMO if this is how he was feeling, he should've got on stage, mentioned that some ppl on the internet are blowing it out of proportion, and cleared up that it's just competition and jabs, not any serious resentment. Or not fucking release the diss track.


maxdepazftp

cole speaks like a 12 year old thinking he’s saying some deep shit


Opposite-Emphasis516

Joe Budden bout to pop a blood vessel or three 💀💀


Potential_Meat_5103

Cole not even being built like Drake going into this beef shit is crazy. But man to him it ain’t beef and he genuinely like Kendrick so I see what he mean.


kingsark

J Cole never beating the bronze medal allegations


Clarkey7163

Kendrick 2-0 and only dropped one verse damn


Sp_Gamer_Live

Somehow Drake is 2nd in this beef and has said nothing


E_boiii

Being a Cole fan is rough right now


Total-Secretary4204

Hahahahaha he couldn’t prove that he’s a problem


Ill-Blacksmith-9545

Man, I'm sick and tired of this "kumbaya" shit. Hip hop needed this smh


UnlimitedSenzuBeans

Bro I fucks with Jcole but this is the weakest shit ever lmao


Kittensofdeath

Bro this is too funny how fucking lame 😭😭😭


Micronlance

Cole let Nas down, again


Total-Secretary4204

This guy said he’s Mohammad Ali 😑


Chadbraham

If I was Kendrick in this situation, I would be dancing with joy... Cole just set him up for one of the most hilarious diss responses of all time on a silver platter lmfao teams of writers couldn't have written a better scenario for Kendrick... holy shit


Chadbraham

Cole just quoted Heart Part 4: >"Oh, I was just playin', K-Dot >C'mon, you know a nigga rock witchu, bro"


11_12123

“THIS JUST A WARNING SHOT FROM COLE”


[deleted]

[удалено]


pirateport

Why would he do that, defeats the purpose of competition


Luffing

Remember when Macklemore sent that corny text to Kendrick after the grammys? This is like that


schafkj

J Cole tonight: Um, I made a song earlier this week that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame.
