Opinion: J. Cole cannot rewrite history now…

“Your first shit was classic, your last shit was tragic

Your second shit put niggas to sleep, but they gassed it

Your third shit was massive and that was your prime” – J. Cole – ‘7 Minutes Drill’ (April 2024)

That J. Cole wants to be seen as GOAT and part of the Big Three is fine. It is understandable that he wants his flowers and wants to be seen as one of the best at these times. We all get that and its natural. However, the way and the manner he plays. It doesn’t work.

I have been following him since his early signing to Roc Nation. When he signed to Jay-Z and dropped Sideline Story. For years I have followed J. Cole and his a respectable character. Nevertheless, he has a tendency to sneak-diss and share the smoke, but he runs away when it becomes fire.

In the match between Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake. He pulled off after releasing the “7 Minutes Drill” and apologized for it. Deleted it from the mixtape itself too. He stepped away… and it was weak.

It was disappointing hearing these bars this month…

“I pulled the plug because I’ve seen where that was ’bout to go

They wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow

They see this fire in my pen and think I’m dodgin’ smoke

I wouldn’t have lost a battle, dawg, I woulda lost a bro

I woulda gained a foe, and all for what? Just to attain some mo’

Props from strangers that don’t got a clue what I been aimin’ for?” – J. Cole – ‘Port Antonio’ (October 2024).

It doesn’t make sense, but maybe the bar(s) of Kendrick is haunting him. Maybe he feels sidelined and isn’t as respected as the MVP of the Game right now. J. Cole might want to be friend with both. However, he wants to shadow-box and not take a proper stand. Nevertheless, he wants the accolades.

1. Cole isn’t taking to account how sideways he is. At one point he goes into it and plays around with it. A minute later he deletes and then months later he addresses it again. He should let this one go. This isn’t what he is and he should just accept that now. We are seeing it.

Kendrick just shows what is different between him and J. Cole. Drake fought but lost terribly. That’s why the Drake Stimulus Package isn’t working either after the battle. K. Dot depleted that and it has shown the damage after the fact.

Now, J. Cole didn’t want to battle. He didn’t want to spar and fight. J. Cole stepped aside and wanted peace. He should run Dreamville and his own career. Jermaine is better of doing just that.

1. Dot has proved how he is a different breed than these two guys. J. Cole cannot accept it. He is living in denial. Jermaine better take it easy and drop dope music. That’s all there is too it. However, Kendrick is now the King and that crown was something J. Cole didn’t wanted to fight for. He cannot return to it now and try to forge another narrative. Especially, when he tried to discredit the records of K. Dot earlier on. No, that isn’t working. Peace.
