ppl making fun of him for this is pure toxic masculinity imo. saying all that on that type of platform and risking the ridicule takes balls. I respect him as a person for being a grown man about it and not letting himself be peer pressured further into a beef out of pure pettiness.

maybe I even respect him as an artist for once for at least realizing himself that his catalog does not at all compare to Kendrick's lol.

(his music is rly ass to me ngl)

At no point did Cole say "I thought it would be some rap s*** but this some whole other s***"

He dropped a mid diss, It got s*** on and he realized he was gonna get smoked. That’s it

Ts reads like a boondocks skit.

Didn't he say something like that on port antonio though

why yall using revisionist history to rewrite Cole as a nigga that saw the future and backed out

it don’t make sense

it’s it’s it’s… grippy !

It's very possible he just folded under the backlash realizing the diss wasn't as dope as his niggas mighta gassed him up to feel

We ever get confirmation that Q or Ab said chill?--who tf even reported that lol

Not even pushed, he STOLE that window from Cole. Kendrick dropped not like us and made 2024 his b****

it’s pathetic frankly

Port Antonio is cope

this dude spent as much time as either Drake or Kendrick implying he’s the guy, then at the moment of truth, he PUSSIES out, niggas still & shoot him bail like he took the moral high ground, f*** all that

damn not cope antonio

really niggas shoot him bail because he still sounds nice as a b**** & raps his ass off
like the jig is up on the fake demon s*** but he still slid on clouds so

this just revealed to me how many people genuinely just never f***ed with Cole’s music so there was never anything he could do, just like Kendrick for Drake fans lmao

yea like I was mad he dropped out too
I was calling him j fold
But that don't mean I'm not finna turn on the off season no more, like what are we actually talking about here

and when you realize niggas ain’t doing the last part of your statement even before this happened then the conversation is already pointless and we can’t talk about s*** honestly so

The rumor comes from some podcast chick who said she saw them talking and then from there assumed it was about the beef

All in all there couldnt be better promo than this for a final album called "the fall off"
Definitely setting expectations too high but I think it'll be some of Cole's best work

based on what my brother

The problem is with his decision to do the diss in the 1st place.

He slowly but surely drifted away from Kendrick and towards Drake for years and made the dumbass decision to take up arms against Kenny after all they had been through.

It shows he's human and stupid like most of the population, at best

cole knew what he was doing creating a full track wanting smoke

J Fold was funny 🤣

Cole throws stones and hides his hands but under the guise of “nice light skin with the freeform locs” niggas throw him bail.

He been doing it for years in spite of his rap talent.

Man disses iggy azalea by name on fire squad then follows up with “i’m just playing”

Man disses an entire generation of rappers on Everybody Dies and it takes a yachty podcast for him to admit he was just being a hater in that era.

Disses kanye west for YEARS and then his fans act surprised when his demented and mentally incompetent clone Wanye Kest is finally responding to all the shade and subs cole was throwing at him since yeezus.

Q nor soul nor anyone talked to Cole bout the beef, that was his real feelings on Might Backtrack Later but the entire internet called him out on that track being mid and how he been copying kendrick lamar’s discography so of course he apologizes.

Then months later does the “if I stayed in the beef I woulda beat hi..” nigga SHUT UP you barely held up against diggy f***ing simmons.

If what G Malone saying is true, kendrick got a right to hold a grudge.

This is coming from someone that was a fan since Young Simba music video came out and bought sideline story

Last year made me look at mans very different.
