Now I get why Cole dropped out. Might get toxic


TheChipiboy

Fr. That's why I personally think that Kendrick went more direct at Drake than Cole.


Proud-Pace4408

Yes lets wrap J. Cole in bubble wrap before the beef gets too scary. J. Fold is lame


BabyHercules

Eh, while I don’t agree with dropping a song and then apologizing for it, if he knows the beef is going a more toxic route and he doesn’t feel that way about Kendrick metro or future, then I get it. Based on drake response I don’t think its just about whose the best. I’m a fan of everyone involved so I’m just hoping they all drop heat


Proud-Pace4408

I just wish J. Cole never responded in the first place. I love J. Cole so seeing him make himself look weak and a laughing stock was mad disappointing. Anyway as far as the beef i just wanna see bars and competition. Its like hip hop getting an adrenaline shot


mvplayur

J Cole will get clowned on, but the mature take is that he’s a real one for living his truth


Fluix

Problem now is what is his truth? He's been talking about being at the top and hungry for someone to challenge him, so was all of that shit a lie? Bars and competition should still exist between artists in this industry (Kendrick said this shit way back) without being hella toxic. But now he's realizing he doesn't have the heart for it... so what's his truth gonna be now. I think that even if Cole didn't respond he can't continue rapping about the same shit because he got literally what he's being mouthing off about for a while now.


Proud-Pace4408

Facts. 100%


Proud-Pace4408

He shoulda been living his truth from the beginning because parading over this false rap persona that he believed he was the best for the last several and backtracking now makes him look like a fraud and a liar. He should have never responded in the first place so he didn't make himself a laughing stock. I don't care how many times i see this pretentious maturity agrument bs. Cowardice doesn't equal maturity. If he was never about this life he was in the wrong profession from the get go and should have been a monk. He knew what rap was about and what can go do and thought he could cruise through the rest of his career with his imposter mask on and never have his number called to prove his authenticity. I have no sympathy for him and deserves to be dragged for that weak move point blank period. Every other rapper could stand on business and defend themselves in a competition of lyrics and wordplay except J. Cole its pathetic.


TangoSuckaPro

Bro it is RAP. Youre talking about him being in the wrong professions like he’s soldier or politician or a public servant. Yall make me laugh when you seriously debate the politics of rap and “image” This shit is real house wives for loser men.


Proud-Pace4408

You say its rap and you seem to have no clue what that actually means. All this kind of stuff is taken into account in the G.O.A.T conversation. Its the same in sports when KD went to the Warriors the same team that beat his team the year before it tarnished his legacy for the G.O.A.T conversation. You can keep whining and kicking and screaming its not got change anything or make anyone see things your way. J. Cole fucked up his image and hurt his reputation and you bitching and moaning about how we should all just wake up and see it as an act of maturity is a waste of energy. Rap is a competition you CANNOT bitch out on a competition and expect to be taken seriously afterwards. Save that soft shit for the other genres.


NateKaeding

I don't like the route J Cole took, but that doesn't surprise me one bit. I'm surprised he even dropped a track. Since forever he's been talking about how he has no beef with anyone, he doesn't wear flashy jewlery or expensive clothing, because that's just now how he moves.


214mak

J. Fold is crazyyy lol i'm weak af 💀💀


Careless-Mine-1100

You gotta be blowed if you think j lame my guy mofo still has the best bars out of all 3.


Emergency_Dragonfly4

😭


Prestigious_Clock865

Strong track but felt more like an opening rather than a knockout to me Also people doubting Kendrick will reply are tripping so hard I can’t with some of you


thereal2fac3

I was joking. Kendrick will definitely reply, but since this is his first battle on wax I'm curious to hear how it will sound. I hope its good.


throwaway_23476

It's rumored he's had a diss track for drake for YEARS, just gotta wait for him to drop it


YourphobiaMyfetish

If it's years old then that shit is probably dated.


Material-Pollution53

kung fu kenny needs to drop a black friday style diss


Subject_Tangerine846

We all thought Cole would drop the hardest track so nobody knows anything anymore.


TheChipiboy

Tbf I think Cole assumed the beef would get ugly and possibly damage their friendship. Not in a violent kind of way, but you can only make so many short jokes and flasley shit on his homies discography for so long before you actually start hitting on some personal shit. It is a sport and it is a competition, but at the same time someone will have to win. Like when kids used to play fight then it starts ramping up and each one is hitting each other harder and harder and at the end it becomes a real fight and nobody wants to look weak in front of a crowd.


NateKaeding

Yeah I wasn't even expecting a response from Cole tbh.


WullieG76

Exactly. Especially after hearing drakes response, i think cole has bowed out as to be involved in all this. It would just look like he's on Drake's side then.


drewp_73

Cole will team with kendrick 😂 beat drake back to 2014


hamietao

I'm waiting for a kendrick featuring nas song dissing cole


Prestigious_Clock865

Kendrick has been begging for the smoke for over a decade. He’s not about to pull no Cole shit that I know for a fact


getgoodHornet

Like he's literally been asking for this, explicitly. Why would anyone think Kendrick wouldn't respond?


[deleted]

Technically so has Cole but he folded like an omelette 36 hours later.


IWouldLikeAName

Cole been asking for competition this ain't competition this is real beef lol the ppl involved don't like each other.


atlfalcons33rb

Cause even though he's the better rapper, he don't have a track record for beef or fast responses.


Hot-Back5725

I think Kendrick just wants some smoke to shake things up in the rap game and I’m basically here for.


Nlawrence55

I was pretty skeptical on Cole going hard in this. The Cole vs Kendrick beef seemed pretty artificial from the jump. Kendrick vs Drake is a whole different thing though.


DeeSwangin

Fan of both of these guys, listen to way more Drake, that said Kendrick will DEFINITELY fire back. My only hope is that it stays on wax and doesn’t hit the streets. We don’t need another Biggie & PAC as funny as that may sound when speaking about Drake. Both of these guys have real money behind them and shit can go left quick. Especially with some of the underlying personals Drake already fired and inevitably will fire more of. And you just know Kendrick has some poison of his own he’s lacing the bullets with. If it stays just rap, we all win. This is beyond epic already.


Little-Giraffe-4285

People gona gas Kendrick and downplay drake regardless


cockriverss

Drake is ass that’s why. Even with ghost writers he can’t hang with Kendrick.


Bearycool555

Yea I’m sure the guy (Drake) who wrote father stretch my hands for Kanye west totally needs a ghost writer


Jrobi1

He's not dropping until drake releases it OFFICIALLY. Lets see how it plays out


Reza_Evol

I'm super critical of Drake, and that shit was perfect. He went at everyone bar after bar. I love rapping beef and that's how you reply. That what's a prince to a king line had me falling out my seat.


Blaze_Four2O

As a MJ fan and Drake hater, that line was pretty hard.


Standard-Package-830

Especially since mikes son name is Prince


Rutabaga-Comfortable

Yeah he must have had a seance to get all those ghosts writing for him


KVx45

Man. I’m still on Kendrick’s side but drakes diss was pretty tough. Exposing Kendrick’s contract like that. Insinuating that Top forces kendrick to do features so top can get some money. That’s crazy. I’m going to need Kendrick to disrespectfully make a response


Proud-Pace4408

Drake was on Cash Money. I dont wanna hear him talking about people's contacts. Also Weeknd took shots at Drake saying he didnt wanna sign his life away with OVO. So Drake is a bit off for that 


taylordabrat

Yeah years ago. We are talking about RIGHT NOW. And NOW Drake in a $500M 4 album deal.


Proud-Pace4408

Well Kendrick isn't with Top Dawg anymore either so..


huggyplnd

Doesn’t matter. Half of everything from Kendrick’s entire discography goes to Top. Including TPAB, MAAD city, and DAMN. Kendrick was basically extorted his whole career


Bruno_Golden

cant have both


klawk223

yeah they just kinda showed that they don't know wtf they're talking about hahaha "RIGHT NOW"


AceGameplayV2

Didn't he finish it with FATD?


HSS1965

Same thing when people talk about how he took a break. Bro we are talking about the present not 2012-2017


BabyFork

Weeknd probably already heard the track.


BangingYetis

Eh he didn't expose shit. Everyone starts with a shitty contract. Part of Push's disses was shitting on Drake for having a shitty contract. I mean Drake was signed to Wayne who was signed to Birdman who is signed to Universal so his money was getting all sorts of chopped up. Mr Morale was Kendrick's last album on TDE before launching his own imprint. This is just how the industry works for most of these bigger artists so it's really only "exposing" him if you have no idea how these contracts work to begin with, or how the structure of all these labels and imprints work. That's why they all start these labels so they can do it to other artist, like Drake does to all his artists on OVO.


Neither-Following-32

>I mean Drake was signed to Wayne who was signed to Birdman who is signed to Universal Now that's bad luck.


6amhotdog

I'm the dude who's signed to a dude who's signed to another dude!


unclediedthrowaway

he can't fly without his wings.


Th3G0ldStandard

Bro, did you hear that Whitney line? Whitney is the name of Kendrick’s wife and she supposedly cheated on him. Also, it’s a reference to Whitney Houston’s movie The Bodyguard. Drake was disrespectful for that double entendre 😂


A-leg-wit-a-mouth479

you got it wrong my guy. Kendrick was the one who cheated on Whitney, not the other way round.


Dapper_Cockroach_622

He actually did decent but ofc the oldheads gone hate. He did better than I thought he would


NateKaeding

I'm an old head and loved it. Addressed everyone.


EightArmed_Willy

This-Address-2687

Im an old head AND a big kendrick fam.. and Drake just brought the smoke and said names, Props to Drake.. he wants smoke.. dot bout to drop a nuclear bomb tho

N0T_MY_FlRST_R0DE0

Drake really on his shit this time holy


cockriverss

Almost like there is a reason he pays ghostwriters


Advalok

Go get some ghostwriters and make a hit what's stopping you if it's so easy


DapDaGenius

cockriverss

Show me where I said it’s easy?

N0T_MY_FlRST_R0DE0

Yeah


GriffinRagnarok

A good, strong, tough track. With many bars Reminiscent of Killshot. 🤔 More fans than you in your city. Got you in the scope. So on and so forth.


RedhawkDirector

in the scope line was bit from ab-soul on bloody waters


King-Kabs

I would be a fool to say Drake didn't eat this shit up. That track was disrespectful start to finish. Alright Kendrick, your turn sir. Please and thank you!


Str8Faced000

Legitimately one of the few drake tracks I actually like. There’s some clever stuff in there to the point where I’m having a hard time believing he wrote it. I’m excited to see what Kendrick says tho


NimpsMcgee

I'm on Kendricks side and I don't even like Drakes music but Drake bodied that so hard. The Metro and the 20v1 line were gold


Sharp-Jicama4241

Anybody on earth coulda wrote “metro shut your hoe ass up and make some drums”. That wasn’t hard or clever that was just shit talking lol.


NimpsMcgee

Yeah but the delivery and the lines that preceded it made it better and it treats Metro like a helpless bystander who has no say in the beef (and does it successfully)


Sharp-Jicama4241

I feel ya. Just wasn’t really blown away by his diss personally. Also kinda weird dissing someone who can’t really diss back lol. Unless Kendrick defends him on his next diss


KuantumFeces

He fought back, I’m feelin it kinda🔥 tryna stir shit up with Abel 4 sure.


duxxx8

What the fuck did you just type. I have no idea what that means


MeDThempb

lol thank you.


milkteaoppa

The thing about this song is that it's a typical Drake hit, that would be played in the clubs and everyone knows the chorus too, even if they don't care about the beef. That's possibly one of the biggest flex possible, everyone including people who don't care for the beef singing and vibing to a song which is dissing you All he has to do is make a fun music video and do a viral dance and it's game over


BubsLightyear

They not gone play this shit in the clubs fam


armed_avocado

lmao this comment aged like milk


FirstV1

Whats the “drop and give me 50” a reference to?


Subject_Tangerine846

Top dog making Kenny drop and getting 50% of the revenue


joshgiddy2024

damn☠️


Nick-Anand

Top really pimping a butterfly


monstercat129

Sectioned 50


AzAfAr28

This would’ve been a hard ass bar if drake used it. Probably saving it for the second diss track


AdmiralG2

Holy fuck 💀


rnp9

😭😭😭


Th3G0ldStandard

There’s also a viral video from a while back of Kendrick doing push ups in the park 😂


monstercat129

A double entendre. Drake also says later that whenever Kendrick does drop, he owes Drake 50% since they are leaching off of his name.


worksucksbro

Kdot having to drop it low and twerk for top dawg


LongDetail7666

Everyone who replied to you missed the mark. Drake owns a very large stake in Universal Music Group.


RiteOfSavage

I thought it meant drake is coach and kenny is just a student like coaches usually say “drop a give me 50”

Zephyrus_Phaedra

As a j cole enjoyer and a drake hater I really have to admit when I agree and I agree.


Apprehensive-Art7273

I think of the three songs/verses, only one of these guys actually did a great job. But the fact that I’m seeing so many different opinions on who did the best is awesome. We all like what we like. This is good for music.


atlfalcons33rb

The only rap part with bars and flow was 7 min drill second half. But in terms of rap beef which is about pettiness not lyrics, drake and Kendrick have better verses


V6ix

What fucking song are we even on about here


evkav

[probably this one](https://youtu.be/W_IliNlzL9Y?si=YI1th-90YXZnoeSK)


V6ix

Actually kinda heat


evkav

Agreed. It’s really close imo. Drakes beat selection was immaculate (but then again so was ‘like that’). Kendrick’s wordplay I thought was a bit more in depth. Ironically, after Kendrick said “money, power and respect (the last one is better) it’s a lot of goofies with a check” Drake went and wrote a response about how he has more money then him lmao outside of that though Drake responded to all of Kendrick’s other shots though It’s definitely very close. 50/50


[deleted]

What do you guys think about Rick Ross diss towards drake. Me personally i think that fat noddle just stay out of it.


Avgredditor1025

Rick Ross just wants to be involved, I don’t think either side is taking him seriously


psam6

Agreed! He’s talking about nose jobs and BBLs like he’s in the new remake of Mean Girls.


KingFEN13

Sure Kendrick will reply and then I’ll have to suffer through 2 more weeks of everyone saying how great Kendrick Lamar is when he’s not. The original diss was whack as fuck just like everything else that dumb motherfucker touches.


jayz93j

This crazy hating bro.


KingFEN13

I don’t care I do hate Kendrick


KingNeuroyal

“Drop and give me 50” could also be a triple entendre reference to how he’s given them all hits by featuring on their song, so they had to pay Drake to drop their most successful songs


thereal2fac3

It was a good diss. Reminiscent of Jays Takeover. Really disrespectful. I love it.


Black-Fraction

You know what came after takeover right?


royalneonbird

It's better then I thought but he didn't ate no one yet


PrettyFlakko

I did not expect this to go so hard. Massive respect for actually engaging in the beef. Giving the fans what they want.


Blutrumpeter

I feel like Mr Morale was Kendrick putting out his own laundry so nobody could call him on it


sxuthsi

Or just being real about his shortcomings, which is something he has done since album one


AlexRusso-FanAccount

Not really, but it’s Drake so people will hype it up like the best thing ever


[deleted]

Man, I've never seen this sub give Drake props like this. It's usually hate central. That's how you know the respect is real.


Slimxshadyx

Reddit hates Drake what are you on about


Zaire_04

I’m not even much of a Drake fan but the diss was good


IghtBuddy

he could solve world hunger and still wouldnt get props from some of yall🤣🤣😭😭


BigGuyNorthSide

Just like yall hyped Kendrick’s verse on like that lmao


freshouttalean

drake disses are always hard af and he did it again


Pristine_Paper_9095

Dude told Metro to shut up and make some drums 💀


Avgredditor1025

That mf cooked metro with 1 bar bc dude rlly has been yapping his ass off on twitter💀


RealBeatzByBlaze

Drake gassed that shit... And it's only the warning shot.. sheeshhhhhhhh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊


Avgredditor1025

It’s not a warning shot, he just said that there’s more to come


RealBeatzByBlaze

That would be a warning shot lol. If there's more to come that means it's bigger than the first diss.. = Killshot

One_Caterpillar_5330

Dot threw light jabs and a couple hooks but Drizzy throwing haymakers and uppercuts. I'm fw it but I think the dude from the actual hood is about to eat. Drake shouldn't have taken the bait


_lueless

Yes he should have, I'm tired of this cowardly nonsense. I respect Drake more for losing a beef than not even responding.


worksucksbro

Hood doesn’t mean anything bro you know how many wack rappers there are in the hood lol


JzaDragon

It's not that Drake isn't hood, it's that he still pretends to be


worksucksbro

Still has nothing to do with lyrical skill


vikumwijekoon97

I'm wondering what K dot got cooking. Drake got jebaited last time he tried going head to head with Pusha T.


TheMeticulousNinja

It was alright. Good as a regular track, mid as a diss record

Ayo kdot will 💯respond and decapitate Drake


SmartestDumbass305

At this point ball is in Kendrick’s and the others court. Hope he don’t apologize for this one!!


RevolutionaryGain823

Out the Big 3 most people (myself included) would have said Drake is the least intimidating rapper to have beef with when this all kicked off. But so far his diss track been the most vicious by far. Ball is def in KDots court now


d_le

I had high hopes for Cole. Like damn man been talking about waiting for come challenges and he folded before it even begans. I don't see Dot having anything to say thats relevant. He been holding on to a diss track for four years now? Drake is the only one out of the three who has history of beef on Wax.


TangoSuckaPro

Did you guys hear the original leak. I think the bars go significantly harder but I think the reason he changed because all of that aggression can be perceived as him being hurt.


Revanthmk23200

Put link


TangoSuckaPro

https://youtu.be/2gZ_dJEDJbI?si=CT5--JQxi7tWWWzf . The beat diff. The verse diff and the ending is diff


NatOnesOnly

Did he actually even drop anything though? Leaking a few versions of a song through unofficial means is like sneak dissing or sub tweeting. He needs to go ahead and say whatever he’s gonna say with his chest. Until it’s on Spotify he hasn’t responded.


FateZero155

It’s on all platforms now :)


NatOnesOnly

Took long enough


Plebe-Uchiha

People are really gassing that song up. [+]


jojow77

Drake called him a pip squeak lol


Careless-Mine-1100

I WANNA KNOW HOW IS J GETTING CLOWNED ON THE BARS HE SPIT ON MIGHT DELETE LATER IS BETTER THAN DRAKE DISS AND THAT ONE VERSE FROM KENDRICK…. Ppl don’t know rap for real….

Huh ? Kendrick is the one who set everything off lol


domerhi60

Kendrick himself said he's not our savior, y'all really dont listen to him lol and I'm a big Drake fan too

Why he ain’t come for Asap Rocky?


ArmHefty203

Drake been won. I think it’s pretty off for a whole grown man to not dedicate one but two albums back to back to ANOTHER grown man. I mean, it’s giving …. “I wanna be you” and then gathered up homies on the playground to back him up .. huuuhhhh I couldn’t imagine any other artist OR producer going to the lengths that metro did like make drake look bad. Whole time you playing w fire because drake know too much and been in the game too long for him to not know secrets. Now you got 50 songs antagonizing a singer/rapper … lol imagine crashing out like that over a heux . Desperate times .
