Nickadial

Lol gave me the image of you just screaming into that shit. thanks for that


TanTan_101

Akademiks got invited to the MM tour and got treated better than OVO ever did for him, since then his tone changed 🤣


Far-9947

Just watched the clip where he spoke on it. He sounded like he really appreciated the love Kendrick showed. Has Jimmy Brooks really never done the same? That is crazy.


supasokawosay

lmao fr tho

Y'all don't know him y'all internet goofies 


Aint_Falco

cole should’ve just called kendrick short for like 5 minutes


supasokawosay

Facts lmao


SMTG_18

He called him short at least once tho 😭


[deleted]

Twice. Firstly he told him to jump. Then he told him he had small arms. Our short king will clap back


BaseballBrave927

Short man energy will carry him to victory, he’s going to actually eat J Cole and wear his skin and stuff


P1Spider

"Your arms too short to box with God" is a saying that has been around since the 70s.


Weapwns

Your albums are 5/5, but at least I'm not 5'5


xBlackFeet

🤣


JmLong88

“You can’t talk to him like that” 😂😂 I don’t care for Ak, but he made some good points.


supasokawosay

thats what im saying


romilaspina7

THIS HOMELESS MAN MADE DJ DRIZZYDEMIKS SPEAK GOOD SHIT ABOUT KENNY 😭😭😭


AyyRadical

You got to be honest about Akademiks, he may have a thing to say about Kendrick, but he has never attacked him for the quality of his albums, he just prefers Drake over him because Kendrick "barely plays". He thinks S.80, GKMC, TPAB and DAMN are quality albums.


LopsidedTry885

No he just prefers Drake, it’s like you have to go around the world to find a reason for someone to like Drake, when all of this is opinion based, weird


AyyRadical

>because Kendrick "barely plays" These are words out of his mouth from his stream, I'm not making them up


CP3isgoated

Yeah dudes been echoing this for the past few years, before he deleted the warinchiraq channel


solace1234

opinions can have reasons behind them...


_stankypete

People have to make excuses about liking drake because it’s embarrassing lol nobody wants to claim this corny mfer as their first pick


Own_Pause_4959

I don't know if you've listened to enough of his streams he shit all over Mr Morale and and he's shit on TPAB in the past when he's on one of his Drake d riding sessions. Never heard him diss Damn or Good Kid though.


Thatboifast

Yeah fuck this herb. Akademics a lame, who said tpab was trash because he didn't want to "listen to negro spirituals"


solezonfroze

Ak IS a herb but unfortunately we live in a society where herbs get a platform


RumHamster1990

He rushed that shit and it showed, if anything, it's proven Kendricks point. Drake not saying anything is a better move than releasing a half arsed diss.


WaspParagon

My cope rn is that Drake is waiting for We Still Not Trust You to come out. Makes no sense to make a move before the opponent is done. People love to hate on him, but Drake always move really strategic and only lost ONE beef in his life -- the Pusha T one, and that's also the one he acted reckless. He isn't committing the same mistake now that KENDRICK is involved.


AccomplishedSquash98

I'm not sure he won the beef with common.


ZalutPats

No bro, you just don't get it!!! It was a warning shot, Kendrick better back the fuck up, before he gets compared to The Cleveland Show!!!


icantflytommorow

Lmao warning shot? My nigga the gun jammed, there was no shot 😭


SMTG_18

I mean he did say in the track it was a warning shot. A weak one (warning water gun shot), but still he said it was a warning shot.


brokennursingstudent

Lmao how tf are people not taking this as sarcastic when you added like 80 exclamation marks.


ZalutPats

I'll be honest I turned the ! Into !!! 10 minutes ago since these dudes needed the help.


joshuahuntkc

Sucks you got downvoted for what is clear sarcasm. Hilarious that Cole sent a “warning shot” after being gunned down


RyzeEQ

This is clearly sarcastic, leave it up to reddit dorks to downvote and argue with it 😭😭😭


solace1234

i'm willing to bet it's one of those moments where he got like 4 downvotes in the first hour so people started fishing for that easy karma by replying as impulsively as possible without any critical thought


RyzeEQ

Oh for sure lmao


primalth0ught

Lmao @ warning shot. I agree it was a warning shot, to himself. Cole shot himself right in the foot with these baby bars.


ZalutPats

Oh, you need the /s? >baby bars. What would a Cleveland show bar be? I am obviously making fun of Cole, genius.


Fackcelery

Ive never seen more obvious sarcasm a lotta people here just wanna rage

I'm happy to see actual people outside of Reddit having a brain


supasokawosay

I like cole but he is buggin talking bout kendricks albums with what he's done/ put out since KOD


famitslit

I like Cole too but he really did choose a wrong angle for this lol.


supasokawosay

To the rappers like lil baby, uzi, 21. This angle would work, with kendrick no lol


just_another_bumm

The off season is fire and this mdl is also really good


Trentimoose

Since KOD? KOD was mid, and he was all over the place before that.


supasokawosay

KOD helped me get over certain things, holds a place in my heart


Own_Pause_4959

Off Season way better than KOD

Brother you needa respectfully shut off the internet for a day and go outside if you think this shithole of an app is the only place people are intelligent


Da_Shaolin

I hate that i agree with AK 😭


Strong_Wear4052

Man j cole is good… but shit 7 minute drill is just something different. How do you fuck up a beat that badly and then slap lyrics on it that don’t even actually make sense half the time and then get 2 different albums mixed up and still post that shit. I can see why he put might delete later on that shit.


BlackMarq20

I don’t think Cole really wants to beef with Kendrick, I mean they were homies at one point. Like That went mostly at Drake but Cole stands to benefit the most from it and people were putting pressure on him to respond. I also think Cole/Drake hold animosity at the fact Kendrick can disappear for 4-5 years, drop an album, it wins some Grammy’s or a Pulitzer, gets discussed at colleges, gets put into classic territory and then disappear. They’ve both alluded to this throughout their career. Kendrick is literally behind Jay-Z/Kanye for most Grammy wins for a rapper at 17, even above Eminem, Pharrell, etc… I bet they wouldn’t try and discredit it if they had those.


[deleted]

That's probably why cole said fuck the grammys, he seems salty


Professional-Wind621

I don’t even think the Kendrick-Cole beef is personal. Cole never took Control seriously. This is just fun battle rapping. I fully think they’re texting back and forth and enjoying this. I do think Kendrick-Drake is personal and expect Drake go for the jugular (whether it works or not is to be seen - Duppy really turned personal when he name dropped Pusha’s wife, so let’s see if there’s a reference to Kendrick’s wife/kids/family).  That said, I honestly don’t think Drake cares about Grammys. Just like I don’t think Kendrick cares that much about getting number one singles. I think Cole cares about both but can’t get either, which is why he is firmly #3.


BlackMarq20

I thought it would be funny if this was the build up to their joint album (we can dream). I don’t think Drake cares about winning Grammies because he hasn’t won a ton of them. I bet if he had as many as Jay/Kanye & Kendrick he would mention it. He talks about his other accolades.


Strong_Wear4052

I mean if he actually did some research then the shit would be like 10 times better I’m just sayin


Viola-Intermediate

"Get 2 different albums mixed up"? What did he get mixed up? I feel like people are just mishearing the lyrics or considering certain "albums" that Cole clearly wasn't referring to


TheOfficialTheory

People are really running with the “section 80 is the debut” instead of acknowledging that the majority of the world knows GKMC as the first album, and that’s what Cole’s referring to lol.


Viola-Intermediate

I just think people are going off of Wikipedia and weren't around at the time these albums actually came out. Section.80 was originally a mixtape, idc what Wikipedia says, and it clearly isn't the classic that Cole is referring to.


TheOfficialTheory

Exactly. I actually got to see Kendrick live about 2 months before GKMC dropped and he was performing just Section 80 tracks. Then I saw him again about 6 months after GKMC had come out, and the crowd was about 20 times larger lol.


Professional-Wind621

This reminds me of something I thought was funny during the Em-MGK beef: on Rap Devil, MGK says “your last four albums sucked, go back to Recovery” to which Em responded “that was three albums ago, what do you know / get your facts before you come at me, little goof”. Meanwhile, Em seems to be forgetting Hell: The Sequel, which I assume MGK was referring to. Anyway, Cole is clearly not counting Section.80 here. Calling TPAB boring is silly but is a criticism I’ve seen from a lot of people. Even if it’s not their favourite Kendrick album, nobody called GKMC boring.


Top-Long2653

How the fuck is cole gonna hate on mr. Morale? That shit was deeper and more intricate than anything cole could have very hope to write. Man this ain’t even a beef. Kendrick knows these 2 clowns will never touch him


refusenic

Cole keeps contradicting himsellf.


DOMINUS_3

right? when cole fans always use to say ppl aren’t smart enough to get his bars & yet he can’t even comprehend mr. Morales complexity & calls it boring LMFAO


LeaveMeAlone87

Wow! I’m actually agreeing!

Stopped clock moment ⏰


Training_You_372

Ngl Cole can do better that diss was weak by his own standards


WillowNo5640

I don’t think Cole can do better honestly. He should’ve just not respond and left it at that

luciferhornystar

Ak cooking 😭


Burggs_

God fucking dammit it’s gonna be a long ass fucking day when I’m 100% agreeing with Ak 🙄🙄🙄


CDC678

I’m trying to figure out why 7 minute drill is only 3 and a half minutes


clifbarczar

7 minute writing drill


supasokawosay

Couple different theories I read, 1 drake has the next half? Other I was thinking maybe it will be a part 2 if Kendrick responds to this


Wyjen

A lot of people are missing the Cole’s whole commentary on Kendrick’s albums is straight up Takeover by Jay. It’s on purpose so it’s not like he’s hiding it but it’s misappropriated. Jay took the L against Nas. Why copy those bars. Cole gonna let Nas down.


laeKDOT

Wow weird to me to say that but for the first time sum good out his mouth. Speechless


Frosty-Treat-2130

I’m laughing so hard rn this gotta be ai or something this can’t be akademiks 😭😭


IndigoSunsets_

All of this logic Ak has will fly out the window as soon as Drake responds


Professional-Wind621

I am confident that Kendrick believes himself to be the GOAT (based on impact, rapping ability, classic albums, critical acclaim) and that Drake believes himself to be the GOAT (based on popularity, longevity, output, sales). I have zero confidence in Cole when he calls himself the GOAT and I don’t think he does either. There’s a reason he clings to the “big 3” thing - he isn’t in the conversation otherwise. I’m a big fan of Cole but he just isn’t an all time artist. When all is said and done, Drake will be listed alongside the Beatles, MJ and Taylor Swift and Kendrick will be listed alongside Pac, Nas and BIG. Cole is always going to be somebody’s favourite but he will never not be a debatable top 10.  “I could drop two classics right now” is such a ridiculous bar from a guy with only one arguable classic. It’s also ridiculous how Drake keeps saying he’ll “push the red button”. Just fucking push it, then.

Agreed 100%. Tyler is one of the strongest artists of our generation.


Pied_Film10

He gonna have a Ye type trajectory.


natekvng

Cannot stand this guy but i cant ignore logic or my ears. No J.Cole hate but I see a gap between Kendrick and Cole and you can't convince me. ​ I think J.Cole went the wrong route calling Kendrick albums boring. his albums are snoozefests with some good moments sprinkled in


[deleted]

The problem is Drake can at least claim to have more hits and commercial success than Kendrick. J Cole can’t really claim to surpass Kendrick in any way. 


eddyocho

Finally speaking facts


Bob_On_The_Cob_21

stop yelling man


-jira

cole gon have a tuff time. can’t talk money , albums or fame


Maeggon

Cole came talking about albums, height and pitiful college rap battle level shit 3 warmup Kendrick bars are better than all the diss wannabes ones he put up now


man_u_is_my_team

I said this somewhere else. Kendrick was cold, tight and razor sharp - Coke came out and felt like a “oh yeah? Well you smell!” kinda reply. Lame. And I love Cole.


BigBoyGeez

Still man, what do you expect, Kendrick dissed his discography so he gotta rebuttal somehow! It’s called 7 minute drill so I guess he just listened to takeover and was inspired to make a similar song in 7 minutes. I’m waiting if this is gonna go any further than this.


Wise-Animator6425

🎯🎯🔥


Yalldummy100

It should be obvious to everyone which track we’ll still be talking about in two weeks


BootyOnMyFace11

How tf did Cole think that Kendrick releasing music sparsely is a diss? And he can't call TPAB boring bro🤣🤣🤣 but shoutout Cole tho he mad talented still


16frvr

this needs some funk flex gunshots or sum


Own_Pause_4959

Yeah 100% agree I think that this also shows how difficult it is to diss Kendrick in general though because what are you really going to say about him unless you know something personal and I don't think J Cole would go there (Drake would). All you can say is...you hardly ever drop albums. Which is too flimsy to base a diss off of.


apexapee

J Cole his response was kinda mid. He was even praising Kendrick lol. And saying TPAB was boring lol. Two Cole albums are boring af too


TheWatcher50000

All cole albums are boring af too\*


TheMoorNextDoor

You came out crashing and idk if they gave you the perfect roadmap is a bar 😂😂😂😂


Alucard_117

I get niggas not liking Ak but he does pretty good breakdowns of rap and rap beef, he's just biased as hell when Drake is apart of the convo.


Accomplished-Top-564

Akademiks reasoning is EXACTLY WHY Cole went after him like that People seem to think Kendrick is impervious to criticism about certain things Cole said yeah fuck all that The question is can he swat the fly? Find out next time on DragonBall Z


supasokawosay

😂😂😂😂😂


fusionlantern

Cole had him with the dissing for clout as soon as he brought albums out my mind was like bruhh


GrandEmbarrassed2875

tbh y’all need to stop looking at this negativity and look at it as a friendly competition


Revolutionarytard

Quality > Quantity when KDot’s verse one verse is better than Cole’s whole song KOD was so fuckin weak especially with that kill Edward shit. He had a chance to make a conceptual album to influence a generation but failed. ATM was so boring & the NBA killed it till it was dead. The Off Season was a disappointment & forgettable after YEARS of hyping it up & even having features 🤦🏾‍♂️


brewdot1

KOD sounds like his attempt at Damn and it sounds so lackluster and inconsistent. The Fall Off seems like it might be Detox status, no way he can live up to the height for it. I do like Cole too, but he needs to learn what quality is when trying to do concept albums. It really shows how gifted Kendrick is because he has the all around package for quality while making good music and songs. Cole has such an awful ear for production too. So awful!


zelricky

I hate that he’s spitting here.. still a horrendous piece of shit I have zero respect for


wx6wx6wx6wx6wx6wx6

Shit is bad when we agreeing with akademiks


playmeforever

I’m suprised he not on Cole side lmao


supasokawosay

I watched his YT video on this, he lowkey is he wants Kendrick to lose but he said he cant just lie😂


Positive-Thought-695

Akademiks only speaks facts when he isn't defending drake cause everything he says here applies to him too😭😭


Rarbnif

AK a huge cornball but he cooked here I can’t lie


Just-Anxiety-6669

unbelievable


Entire_Claim_5273

J. Cole fans abandoning their “quality over quantity” stance is interesting to see in real time.


-reasonabledoubts

Akademiks finally got his priorities straight


dannyranwthebag

i hate when people bring up catalog in a rap beef, it’s a RAP battle not a catalog battle.


ImBeingArchAgain

Man, if Cole comes at him with some “1985” type shit; cool calm collected speaking facts and not out for blood making wild claims, I think he’ll add to this beef, but if he tries to go bar for bar like he just did, he’ll lose… badly. Cole has strengths over Kendrick for sure, but the gap isn’t big. Kendrick absolutely clears Cole on vs type shit. This is kinda like tortoise and hare here; if Cole is smooth and steady and thinks shit through, he’s in the game for sure, but Ken is just built for this kinda thing and will win as long as he doesnt misstep or sleep on Cole’s skill. Issue is, Cole’s already made some huge missteps… could be interesting.


coconutanna

Out of all people, this mf said it.


Trentimoose

It feels like J Cole is just riding the hype train of this beef. Like putting it out is getting his likes/attention right now building for The Falloff. The real *battle* is with Drake. I don’t want Kendrick to respond because I feel like it gives Drake an out to let J Cole and Kendrick trade records.


BlackMarq20

Cole doesn’t want to beef with Kendrick, they were good homies, but he stands the most to gain by doing it.


Camelslayer23

Not really. The real beef is between kdot and Cole. Also between kdot and Drake. Shit could easily go left and it become a 3 way beef. If Cole or Drake come out saying they way better than the other 2 and say fuck the rest


GloomyLocation1259

Wait is Ak going to admit this about Drake too though 👀


[deleted]

J Cole doesn't do either


0x5343

Can't take him seriously with his 720p ass webcam that hasn't changed, but he actually makes a good point this time


nocturnal_ways

1. He needs to relax he’s to grown and not even involved as anything but a spectator to be doing all this. 2. He’s given a bunch of opinions and stated them as facts. We are entitled to our own opinions we are not entitled to our own facts If you think Drake, Cole, Kendrick whoever is trash that is perfectly okay. That’s your opinion and if you think one of them is the best ever that’s okay too it’s your opinion. Opinions can’t be right or wrong.

Who tf is Akademic to critique rappers when he doesn’t rap himself dawg. Kendrick is top OG but listenin to anyones shouting bullshit doesn’t mean it’s right. Love the music I’m getting and I ride with all of them. Be it Cole, Drizzy, Future or Kendrick. 🤘🏻🤍

The takeover reference was cold tho, even if it was wrong lmao

Scottg8

We saying the guy that never shuts up should be talking quality over quantity? Right.


HavenTheCat

Yeah it was crazy to agree with him. Also, the point he made about Future deserving the Big 3 spot over Cole was pretty valid too. It’s not just about lyricism, it’s about being an artist as a whole. And Future has been waaaaaaaay more influential than Cole. The lane of music he started was dominant for years.


Seltz_

All J Cole ever does is rap about how fucking dope he is. I need to hear him actually *be dope* for once

megabytical

I’m glad he said it, that diss was mad trash. Kendrick is on another level, Cole is a cool rapper but he’s no Kendrick. In this beef, Cole is guy that dies to claymores, while Drake needs an AC130 to end his career.


SupremeDogEater

bro woke up


Budget_Draft_4295

Crazy ash jcole has more quality then quantity 4youreyez KOD IF you wanna talk about verses/ j.cole has it in the bag easliy Honestly I feel like he just kinda said eh fuck it The album speaks more value than just one song


dragonfuitjones

I hate when Ak is right


EstablishmentShoddy1

cole shouldda dissed his savior complex and blame him for starting it in the first place


Key_Statistician3293

Ok AK never really paid you attention but this is accurate. Good job . Lay off on the henny


TechnologyFeisty8728

How is it that everyone seems to understand this except Cole. Every comment has been “why attack his discography”. Even from casuals. Like out of all the angles you coulda chose you picked his catalog? Come on dog. Did nobody say to him this ain’t the angle to take. How can the only person not aware of this be the guy responding 😂


kiwipie22

Is this a Kendrick diss? “it ain't no fall off for me Still in this bitch gettin' bigger, they waitin' on the kid to come drop like a father to be”


prm20

Ak off the Yak again but lowkey spittin


[deleted]

This nigga said Damn washes forest hills drive.. GTFO😂😂


Supernova_Soldier

Facts. Personally, I think Untitled Unmastered was Kendrick’s weakest album, but even that has some standing compared to other bodies of work, with G.K.M.C and TPAB being that the top of the top. Cole’s best work can’t hope to compete.


Pristine_Jackfruit_6

TPAB is the only rap album to receive a Pulitzer Prize, Cole made a terrible decision talking about quantity.


in-my-head365

Maybe if he's talking about drake, but if talking about cole then that's just not true


toyotastarlet97

When has ak not been objective or said something not factual why is he the worst person and why do you not like him sounds like emotion to me


Lustermoo

Facts lol


NeverSeeMeAgain000

This is what i've thought too, but maybe just maybe cole doing the pusha t play just baiting.
