I love this interview, he's so happy that Kdot sang his song as if he wasn't even famous, and the happiness of getting the verse, it's so real, I appreciate artists like that who allow themselves to be impressed by the work of their colleagues
Not even trying to be biased but Kdot 1000%. You would have thought that was Kdot's own beat and song. Cole rapped good, but it lacked depth, and you could still hear Kdot while Cole was rapping on Kdot's beat.
I’d like to see them do it again, Cole has gotten way stronger lyrically, and his flows are a lot smoother too. Kdot is obviously still great, but comparable still to his tpab days. As long as they try and go bar for bar, and not making a simple tune, idc who wins. Win or lose, we all win.
@Beamken kendrick my favorite rapper of all home in terms of lyricism and artistry, but Cole definitely has depth and is getting underrated at this point. Kendrick is wholeheartedly better, but Cole is gonna down as one of the 20 best rappers ever and that's still impressive
I remembered when i heard this collab, i heard the beat for “Alright” and i said to myself, Cole you better kill this, he disappointed me. He needed to go extra, especially on this beat.
6:50 , is 100 percent why a lot of people don't mess with Kendrick. because when they ask Kendrick to rap, he BATTLE RAPS. But when you ask another artist to rap....they make a song. Hooks, chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus done.
@@Jovany014cole just previewed some unreleased/unfinished projects featuring dot on his podcast. I think Cole would be down, dot probably wouldn’t be, unless he wants to use the feat as a way to snatch him after he escaped the beef
Cole is a great rapper. The whole apology thing is made bigger than it is. We're humans at the end of the day. I still like Dot more but thats not defined by the apology
Nah they gotta do it now 😂😂😂 i havent heard these songs in a minute they both went crazy. They both have gotten better since then too, ya let these 2 swap like 4-5 beats n go crazy 😂😂
Cole definitely got better, but that don’t mean Kendrick got worse. I personally feel like Cole is scared of the outcome if they actually beef, maybe he can’t separate friendship from a rap squabble or he might feel like his career will take a dent I mean look at the response for the apology and the 7 minute drill, even port Antonio. But I think he’ll be alright
@ please don’t twist my words. I did not say Dot got worse. I said he is the same. I don’t know Bro. I mean, every body is saying Dot’s diss was not even meant for Cole. Yet, Cole responded. Ever so nonchalantly slapped Kendrick and told him, you don’t really want it with me. And if you do “jump up and see”. What did K do? Nothing. And this is where everyone gets it twisted. Kendrick sent his man to tell Cole. Nah Bro. This ain’t about you. So now Cole’s like, oh, ok my bad then. But people quickly and conveniently forget that Cole did slap him. Whether he apologized or not. He still slapped him. Open handedly, too, which is more disrespectful. It was not even a punch. It seems to me that Kendrick knows this is a different Cole and don’t want to respond. I believe it is Dot who is afraid of this improved Cole. Respectfully.

Dot washed Cole on this😂. I won't lie tho, I haven't seen a rapper who's aged better than Cole, One of the few late Peakers, which is werid to say because he was already talented, but he had a lot of catching up to do at this point in time. His made up so much ground on Kenny its actually insane, but has he "caught up" in terms of his technique? I think yes( debatable). He isn't as deep and methodically tho. Dot has alot of patience even compared to Cole. Dot in 7(6 if Cole slacking) for me. Cole still my favourite.
Kendrick has never been beat on a track so it’s expected…BUT in J Cole’s defense, the track he picked (Alright) can really only be danced on with someone that has Kendrick’s ability. If he had picked “Maad City” or something that hit a little harder, it would’ve been closer. J Cole uses a litter box but he’s still crazy talented.
Cole told us at the end of Kendrick’s song, “The Jig Is Up” which Cole produced, that it’s all about KING Kendrick. Black Friday wasn’t even close 😂 Dot the actual goat.
7 Minute Drill was the mistake. The apology was on point, because J did not believe in it himself. Nas, Jay, KRS-1, Cube, LL, Moe Dee, Pusha T, 50 Cent, and Pac all meant that. No apologies necessary. Port Antonio was unnecessary.
2:19 And comparing Cole’s situation to 2Pac or Cube is over exaggeration 😂 Everybody need to get out they feelings. How everybody gonna apologize to Cole but then get mad again for finally addressing it??? That’s corny
cole was nice but alright was such an amazing track his freestyle kinda fell short because of it. while what kendrick did on the tale of two citiez beat is what cole should have done from the jump. that beat deserved to get smoked like that and thankfully kendrick delivered. I enjoy both but kendrick washed cole in this exhibition and that is not up for debate imo edit: as a native spanish speaker that was absolutely horrible from drake. mush mouth as verse. he did better when he did the song with bad bunny. this was an embarrassing attempt from him.
kendrick had the better flow and also that a tale of 2 citiez beat is a cheat code lol but Cole had better bars and made an actual song with a hook on it lol ''gettin' cream(kareem) like a old ass laker'' lol what??? FIRE
@@Tre.Anthony2025-g4z yea, 6:16 in la to I guess, even mtg kind slow and aggressive at the same times, he also have prayer(unreleased) and look over ur shoulder, maybe I'm wrong but Cole always give old school vibe to me but Kendrick all over the place
They both did great, but Kendrick just be on one (always). I don't think he can help it. And Aubrey definitely weird. Like the new song, but won't listen to it again because his monotone behind is on it. The other guys on the track did their thing.
Cole washed kendrick on Jeezy - American dream and Dj khaled - They ready, but yall “fans” not ready for that convo… yall prob dont even know them songs exist😂
These is the most biased comments I've ever seen lol even Cole said he was no where near who is he is now back then. Compare prime for prime. Cole in 6
Kendrick was going for straight bars.. Cole was on some chill shit tryna make a actual song and shit it feels like .. around that time Kendrick would've definitely washed him but cole is literally in his prime rn and if they were to do a song rn I feel like Cole's verse would be much harder imo
As a Cole fan I agree that Kendrick slayed this beat although Cole did very well for his part too. But you are being disingenuous for trying to compare an 8 year old song to a current scenario. Cole’s pen has deepened and improved so much over the past 5-6 years, it is hard to say that Kendrick would be an automatic win TODAY. Cole has proven his lyrical mastery with peers such as Royce, Benny, Daylyt and Absoul among others on his feature runs. I guess we could look at American Dream by Jeezy which featured both Cole and Kendrick but that may not be a fair comparison either. I am glad Cole chose not to entertain yall this time around with participating in a beef that wasn’t for him. Furthermore, despite his so called pussy move, ain’t nobody has challenged him. I guess if Kendrick feel some kinda of way he’ll pop out for Cole tho, but I suspect they will collab with each other at some point. Regardless, don’t yall think it’s time to move on from these silly comparisons as there is so much incredible music that’s coming out from other amazing artists?
I get the black friday argument but it doesn't hold up at all anymore cause cole improved astronomically compared to when that released. dudes talking about that track like it came out a year ago or sum
J Cole has improved a lot since they did that. Kendrick has improved as an artist since then vs Cole improving as a lyricist. K Dot fans love to bring up that Black Friday situation like Cole ain’t been bodying mfs lately.
Overall because of instigation disguised as HipHop “Tradition” everybody wants to shit on a grown man for his own choice. Kendrick didn’t call Cole out by name nor did he really respond to 7 min Drill 🤷🏾♂️
How would he respond to the seven-minute drill when Cole apologized the next day? Cole backed out, so what’s the point in dissing back someone who has already stepped back and apologized
@@Novanity_Breezyhonestly😂😂jcole fans are soo funny..if kendrick had said anything about cole ghey would hv been crying saying kendrick bullying cole after he apologised
@@eneokweobianuju9659What makes the situation worse is that for years, Cole has been claiming to be the king and the best in rap. When he finally faced a challenge from someone who pushed back, he ended up apologizing and now six months later, stating that he’s not the king or anything like that. This directly contradicts everything he’s been saying all along. He also mentioned the "bots," which appears to me to be a jab at Kendrick I might be wrong tho. But It’s ironic because Drake is the one who originally came up with that line to diss Kendrick. So in his songs, he belittled Kendrick while trying to elevate drake, which is just crazy. He even called Kendrick his friend, saying that he didn’t want to engage in a feud with him. If Kendrick is your friend, how can you let someone else persuade you to diss him? It shows you’re not standing by your principles. As a rapper, I respect Cole, and personally, I don’t hold any grudges against him for stepping away from the beef. However, I don’t want to hear him claim he’s number one or that he can beat anyone in a rap battle, especially since he had the chance to prove it earlier. It was Cole who first dissed Kendrick, not Drake. Plus, Kendrick didn’t say Cole was his friend and had no problem going after him in a rap context. You can’t claim to be the best if you’re not willing to clash with someone else who claims the same title.
Travis Scott said he thinks Kendrick makes RIP tee shirts before he does his features and just kills everybody's track
Put my favorite rapper on a T🤷🏾♂️, beautiful thing to see tho. Still need that album. These niggas failing me😭
That's funny, and I believe it.😂
I love this interview, he's so happy that Kdot sang his song as if he wasn't even famous, and the happiness of getting the verse, it's so real, I appreciate artists like that who allow themselves to be impressed by the work of their colleagues

Agree

Kendrick. 100%.
The dogs was like this my favorite rapper 😂🔥
Dot is in a class on his own.
This man should be studied
My whole thing with Black Friday was…who made me forget they weren’t rapping on their own beat…
Dot got a strong 10
Cole got a strong 8
Kdot makes music that electrifies them, they make music that pacify them.
even the dogs know kdot verse was FIRE within the first seconds 😂
😂😂😂 FACTS
Cool video guys loved it ❤😂 Both of them are great but Kendrick is light years ahead 🤷
Cole be having the most mediocre bars he’s gotten way better tho but he don’t got that depth and real grit

Dot murdered this shit man. Cole did great but Dot picked the harder beat and got possessed by the ones who came before him. Dot is the GOAT 🐐
It wasn't close Dot. Cole still did great
this was an excellent video idea
On NO planet is Cole messing with Dot!!!!!
The disrespect from cole fans is crazy. Some even claim that jid can outrap dot
@Kudanzombe jid is way closer to kendrick than j cole at least
Kdot the one….
always has been tbh
@@kai6115always will be tbh
I can see Dot and Cole working in the future.
I agree 100% but I think Cole don’t want any smoke with k not even project or feature

i had the similar reaction to what your dad had 😂 listening to that drake song 😂
Nah they gotta do it now 😂😂😂 i havent heard these songs in a minute they both went crazy. They both have gotten better since then too, ya let these 2 swap like 4-5 beats n go crazy 😂😂
Kdot light years ahead fam 🎉
6:41 hit the nail on the head! He’s 100% like that if you got it coming.
3:43 they know Dot got that dawg in him 🙏🏽😭
I fractured a couple of ribs laughing so hard at Dad's reaction to Drake's featured song 😂 😂
You guys should listen to Nosetalgia. Two rappers who defeated Drake in a battle.
@13:55 , I was laughing so hard at his dad's reaction when Drake's shit started playing.😂 He had to have a drink...😅🤣
The J Cole of then is NOT the J Cole of today! Dot, however sounds like the same Dot.
Eda dear, wtf are u talking about right now???🤦🏾♀
Yeah you have issues 😂😂😂

LMAFO the way you said “YES” when pops said “you think he did too much?”
Does he do too much or they not doing enough??! 😂
I think he meant to say, I'm going to make an analogy, the guy is already down and he can stop, and he doesn't stop lol
Kendrick washed him on Black Friday 100%, not even comparable
THANK YOU!! For acknowledging the talent from BOTH. I hate this Kendrick washed Cole narrative like Cole didn’t go crazy
“ *sniffs* this shit is just not fair. *sniffs* but why the hell should I care?”
W drop
I can’t say they were equal.. Cole rhymed N!@@& too many times it was just a vibe. Kendrick really delivered a lyrical exercise. Both goated fasho
Y'll hilarious for that 😆

Cole sacrificed cohesive discipline and artistry for an impressive technique. His rapping became stronger, his albums became weaker.
@@kamohelomonakale353damn that's true. The reason I didn't like off season, he was rapping just to rap. We already know he can rap.

💯
DOT DOT DOT. PERIOD.
Black Friday came out years ago if you listen to Cole then and Cole now there’s a massive difference people are real silly
Shit was forever ago Cole has upped his skills since then
The song's called Black Friday coz Cole is a discount Kendrick
Can you guys react to Grippy and Wah Gwan Delilah 😂.
Jcole did great but under no circumstance did Cole reach Kendrick here 😂.
Kendrick killed it he took over Cole song FACTS

Listen to temptation by them too
It was way more close on that song
But I do think Dot had the better verse
The sign from God that y’all ignored is wild.
Right now Cole will was dot
Both were nice and I'm a fan of both... but Dot made Cole's beat his. He was all I heard. Cole, however, couldn't drown out Kendrick.
