Transcripts
right now the scoreboard is one Z jcole
I'm sorry bro he got him if I'm
comparing the like that verse to this
shot no way Cole's got that was a moment
from our live album reaction to J Cole's
new album might delete later if you guys
want to catch the entire reaction
including our first ever moment of
reacting to the disc you guys could
access that by checking the link in the
pinned comment or in our description but
a let's get into this 7 minute drill it
was the outro on the the album we
finally get a response to Kendrick's
verse unlike that which came out two
weeks ago and this is very interesting
because on that verse a lot of people
felt like J Cole got caught in the
crosshairs he caught astray the shots
weren't really being directed at him but
Jak Cole jumped out the window here and
he dedicated a song going at Kendrick
Lamar what are your first thoughts well
listen going into it I don't think that
it's the diss track that we were all
expecting if I'm being completely be
honest with you I think that there were
some good shots you know thrown towards
Kendrick on this one but it's definitely
not the full-fledged like package that
everyone was expecting so underwhelming
to you it's not that it's underwhelming
like I definitely think that if Kendrick
Lamar comes back with something else
then I think that J Cole gets more
engaged I feel like this was just more
to see where Kendrick's at you know is
he going to continue to go back at jcole
and is he going to continue to theater
him because if I'm going to be
completely honest with you like I'm
looking at the RS and yeah there's some
cool stuff in here but if I'm being
completely honest is like you know the
whole conversation about the catalog
about his albums being boring you know
talking about how his arms are too short
to box like I'm kind of okay without
them if I'm being completely Hest that
was a [ __ ] brutal disc he wrapped
your arms might be too short to box with
the God who live his life without the
pressures of a constant facade that was
a serious bar I I like I like the
constant facade bar I like the constant
facade bar but I don't know just like
calling him short and calling his albums
boring wasn't necessarily anything for
me but I I just feel like when you're
looking at like a rap battle you have to
go with the guy's appearance his
physical like attributes whatever the
case may be and he went full-fledged
with that he went in at him and like it
was clever I'm not saying that it's the
craziest bar ever but it was very clever
and before we we get deeper into the
breakdown I do want to say this yeah
jcole does have balls for for shooting
out first like I don't think we any of
us expected him to go at Kendrick before
Drake so that was really cool to see him
really jump out the window um but let
let's go back to where you were sing
which is the first set of disses where
he raps your first [ __ ] was classic your
last [ __ ] was tragic your second [ __ ]
put guys asleep but they Gass it so if
anyone's wondering from what it seems
like when he says your first [ __ ] was
classic he's talking about good kid Matt
City when he says your last [ __ ] was
tragic of course talking about Mr moral
and the big steppers and then saying um
your second [ __ ] put people to sleep
he's probably talking about the p a
butterfly cuz he's seeing that people
gassed it um and then you're sech was
massive that was your Prime so let's
talk about him going at one of the best
discographies of all time I don't know
if it's the best move no I don't think
so I don't think you could have the
conversation with Kendrick about the
discography especially when it's
considered one of the best of all time
and I feel like when you start saying
that the butterfly is boring or whatever
the case may be in my opinion that's
still one of the greatest dos of all
time and I mean even at that he's
calling his stuff classic so I mean you
know there is sort of like a a
compliment within that disc itself you
know so that's why I I don't know how to
feel about what's interesting is that
he's been complimenting him even on
firstperson shooter right putting him in
the big three or even looking at um what
he was saying on um what's the record
that I'm thinking of um the pipe down
remix oh yes where he's rapping about
like people handing me the bronze and
like he's saying that Kendrick's a
superstar to him so it's interesting to
see his perspective completely shift
after the like that verse um but I do
like that he's saying that like jcole is
in his prime right now and he sort of
took his spot as the top Dawn and he's
true for that I feel like Cole is the
best rapper alive right now I know what
I'm trying to say but like if you look
at through these verses there's nothing
really vicious about these if you get
what I'm trying to say like the short
arms was vicious all right listen if you
if you [ __ ] with it that's all what did
you think of this one but push come to
shove on this mic I will humble him
referencing Kendrick that's what I think
this track is I think that it's just to
see where Kendrick Lamar is at with
things I don't think that this was meant
to be a full-fledged disc and really
start to get into some like heavier
stuff and really start going blow for
blow uh because not only that but if you
go to this next bar um on verse two he
says I'm hesitant I love my brother but
I'm not going to lie I'm powered up for
real that [ __ ] would feel like SWAT in a
fly and then he says the four arms in 12
years I can divide so I mean he's kind
of like inviting it again he's kind of
sing like come so how do you like that
as sort of a response to Kendrick where
it's like I'm not going to go all the
way in but I'm going to invite you but
I'm taking a whole track to do so so do
you think the fact that Cole took the
whole track that he should have went a
bit deeper with it or do you think that
he played it smart and he was like well
let's just touch the surface a bit let
me acknowledge it let me throw some
shots back but let's see what you got
coming next and then we'll really see
what's up I don't think this is one of
the most scathing diss tracks I don't
think that this is going to go down as a
classic diss track but again for the
situation that we're in I feel like it
is the perfect chess move because he's
testing him a little bit right like he's
he's knocking him for his discography
he's knocking him for not being um
consistent when it comes to dropping
music and I think that again he's just
telling him like you're my little bro
right now I'm at the top of the pyramid
I'm the one to be afraid of so it's a
cool warning shot and like you were sing
he's baiting him into getting more out
of him and I feel like Kendrick is
definitely going to come back at him bro
he's GNA come back at him [ __ ]
swinging but going back to the bar you
were saying um four albums in 12 years
man I can divide that's actually a
reference to Jay Z's bar on takeover
where he RS four albums in 10 years I
could divide so it was cool to see him
pay homage back to JayZ and takeover um
but what do you think happens from here
bro I think Kendrick absolutely comes
through and uh he delivers the diss
track like he was waiting for someone he
was waiting for someone from like
because obviously the shots were thrown
at Cole and they were thrown at Drake
he's waiting for someone he's waiting
for one of them to answer and he was
waiting for this moment to be like okay
well now you guys want to engage I'm
going to engage and is going to start
dropping tracks he has to yeah because
like how does Kendrick open up the can
of worms then you get back to this track
from Cole and now you're not going to
answer it that's it like at at that
point like you've lowkey like not that
you've lost but it doesn't it's not the
best look it's not the best chess move
if you don't answer this you know what
I'm trying to say cuz you opened up the
can of worms you're the one that opened
up this whole this whole playing field
so I mean you have to come back with
something crazy and I think he will cuz
if I'm being completely honest another
thing that I really liked about that
Kendrick verse is that when you go into
it it's not the craziest when it comes
to like the dises you know he's talking
about a you know it's the big three it's
only me talking about how best work is a
light it was it's kind of on the same
level of as this if I'm being completely
honest with you but now now it's like
okay let's see where we're going with it
but the thing that I liked a bit more
about the Kendrick disc was the Cadence
the aggressiveness like he was really in
your face about this I feel like here
this sounded like a good jcole track you
get what I'm trying to say so I want to
see a bit more vious inside of this was
aggressive like even when like he's like
zipping up the body bags and you get the
sound effects that was cold um and yeah
I will say this they should have gone
with the conductor production the entire
song it was cool to get a switch up
though I I didn't enjoy the first beat
as much as the second no I would
definitely gone with the conductor beat
for the listen I think that like
Kendrick has to respond to this like his
reputation as someone who's never backed
down from any scuffle with any rapper
that's on the line right now and I feel
like I would bet my entire mortgage that
he answers back because like you said he
opened up the can of worms he has no
choice but to respond I I I think that
this one like you were saying it's going
to be brutal it's going to be intense I
think he's going to get under J.Cole
skin and that's what's going to maybe
make this be a six round seven eth round
fight between them because they're both
invested this is why I love hipop is
that for the first time in the longest
time you're getting two top caliber MC's
that you now know we're going to go
[ __ ] back and forth for what might be
a very lengthy bloody Feud um and not
bloody in the sense of being personal or
getting the streets mixed up in this
whatever that is no we know that Bloody
in the sense of like there's going to be
serious swings going on right now we see
what happens to be honest with you like
maybe it doesn't go anywhere and maybe
this is where it kind of impossible it
ends here impossible maybe it ends here
you impossible uh but regardless though
I mean like not that I was disappointed
with the track but I want to see more
I'm down I'm down for more I'm
definitely down for more at this point
I'm not going to lie to you like I feel
like you know Cole and Kendrick
definitely acknowledged everything
they're both in the race now but there's
one man left Drake still in the equation
there's Jersey Drake still in the
equation and this is a good time for him
to drop just because now it's like all
the attention is on Cole you know and
like if you come back and you drop
something that's [ __ ] ridiculous now
we're going to have like just a a Cess
poool of [ __ ] diss tracks going
everywhere that's the big play hand
honestly like cold dropping tonight it
was good it was cool nice he answered I
don't think it was the greatest diss
track but he did like what Kendrick did
on like that you know it was just like
it was warning shots like this is what I
could do you know this is what I'm going
to do on let's say a project that I'm
kind of releasing Loosely if you want to
come at me you could come at me but with
Drake there's a different sentiment in
the air there is a different sentiment
in the because you could tell that off
of like that like Kendrick really wanted
Drake's head like that that's that's his
primary target but what I do love about
this situation is that we were speaking
about this in the last video that we did
like the real battle might be between J
Cole and Kendrick like if we really look
at the pedigree of their pens they might
be closer in terms of the playing field
and I I don't want to count Drake out of
this but I do love the fact that
everyone was making jokes saying oh
jcole is going to be riding his bike
he's not going to be answering he's too
much of the nice guy and he's the one
that came out of the gate first um so I
do love that he said [ __ ] it I'm going
to really make my presence known and I'm
going to be able to fight back but Drake
might come with a different approach and
I think that Drake might come with
something that is a bit more vious
absolutely so we we'll see we'll see
what happens what do you think happens
now do you think Drake says okay I'm
going to let them sort of battle it out
and I'll stay dissing future and Rick
Ross and do my own thing Drake knows
what he has to do so you think that it's
going to be a Mexican standoff situation
maybe you know what happens I'm just I'm
just letting you know the way that I
kind of see things right now because the
seven minute drill like there's
something off with it it's it's in what
way it's like he's going fishing he's
baiting him in a bit it's nothing too
crazy absolutely but it's like you know
you bait the baiter so it's like now
that guy's going to have to really come
at you and he's going to have to drop
something if you really want something
so maybe Kendrick doesn't even touch
this maybe he's like you know what I
don't even want this
impossible you think there is0 waiting
for this since control bro he's been
waiting for over 10 years he's wanted
this battle with either one of them and
this is going to be a real [ __ ] duel
now oh for sure abely so do you think
Kendrick's chess moves are adding up
they are I think this is exactly what he
wanted I think that he had tracks
prepared for both Drake and Cole without
a [ __ ] doubt he's been ready so now
Cole's go to he's got to be ready bro
he's got to sharpen that pen because
Kendrick is in come in heavy bro that's
crazy he's going to come in strapped I'm
telling you now yeah that's the thing
though is that now it's like okay
someone answered so there's definitely
something going on that's the only thing
I'm kind of happy about is that it
didn't fizzle out and you know nothing
came out of it at least like there's
some sort of like back and forth going
on but it has to pick up it has to pick
up cuz I'm kind of tired of like just
like the little the little finger Taps
you know it's like oh well you poke me
I'll poke you yeah it's like no no no
let's let's get into this now you know
like jcole did the right thing he
definitely like played it safe and you
know we'll see what happens after this
so ladies and gentlemen let me know what
you think is going to happen in the
comment section and how do you feel
about seven minute drill what was your
favorite bar from the song and um do you
think that Kendrick Lamar is going to be
answering this also we do have a review
coming for might Del later expect that
to come in a few days and as we
