I’m not even trying to convince u kid. Feel how u feel.So because Cole was told to fall back that means he should have? This is what i’m talking about when it comes to making excuses for Cole and him trying to skate with it. The rumor was allegedly that Schoolboy comes up to Cole at Dreamfest and tells Cole that Kendrick is about to go nuclear on Drake and if he doesn’t want the same treatment then he should fall back. Now why exactly in this scenario wouldn’t Cole say “So the fukk what?!?” He been spending the last half decade saying that any and ALL challengers would get lyrically molly whopped if they step to him. Well Kendrick STEPPED to him and Cole backed down. There’s literally NO good and acceptable reason for why Cole would step down.
Imagine if Beanie Sigel would have stepped to Nas after the Stillmatic Freestyle dropped and told him to fall back because Jay only really wanted to destroy Mobb Deep. Imagine if this hypothetical conversation took place at a NAS headlined show. And it became public knowledge. Nas would’ve been called all kinds of bytches and cowards and even worse. But Nas, even KNOWING beforehand that Jay was planning on putting it out there that he’d slept with his child’s mother, still went out there and handled his business.
Cole being “naive” as an almost 40 year old veteran in the rap game doesn’t afford him a pass. NONE of his moves during that period afford him a pass. He was “told” to fall back and just…did it. Because…of the power of friendship? Come on fam that doesn’t make NO sense. The only reason a man bows to another man without putting up a fight is if he’s AFRAID of that man or that man has something he can hold over him thats worse than the embarrassment of being viewed as a coward. And unless Cole is out here getting his Diddy on, I highly doubt Kendrick has blackmail potent enough to ruin Cole’s life. So that leaves option A.

Bolded is bullshyt. Kendrick ain’t even bar Drake to death like that yall need to cut this shyt out. Cole was literally told by Kendrick’s camp to fall back. Cole’s biggest problem is that he overestimates his friendship with Kendrick. Kendrick don’t look at Cole the same way Cole looks at him and it’s ALWAYS been that way. It’s something I been saying for years. None of how Kendrick has acted after or during the battle has surprised me. At all. Only thing Cole is guilty of is being naive. nikkas stunk up this thread something serious honestly it’s no point to even post his album on this site. shyt garbage.
Dude was dropping bars in this.
“You didn’t fall off, you stepped aside and now you want applause for surviving your own decisions.”
"Why are you trying to make people wonder who you talking about when you know you're not gonna stand on shyt....you not gonna stand on shyt , it's not gonna happen its never directly anybody who can directly turn it into a problem. It's always sideways its always coded, always "I didn't say no names" and that's why this shyt feel fake that's why it doesn't hit its the same J Cole, he has no evolution....its the same ol track and sound like something from Forest Hills Drive"

Thats STILL a piss poor excuse for not battling. This man stood on stage at his OWN festival in front of HIS diehard fans and kissed Kendrick’s ring and in return Kendrick basically said “If you want to, in ANY way be cool with Drake then fukk you and your friendship.” He also bragged about making Cole back down. “It was wolf tickets on sale til I silenced them.” So Cole lost the oh-so-important friendship either way AND got called a coward by the same man he apologized to.
shyt don’t add up whatsoever. The only reasonable explanation not tied to some wild conspiracy theory is that Cole, in his heart of hearts, knew he couldn’t beat Kendrick head to head and probably never thought either of the three of them would ever go at it so he was free to spit his “I’m the best/nobody better try me” bars because nobody on his level of talent and fame ever WOULD. He was friends with Drake, obviously thought he was friends with Kendrick, and thought the most they’d ever do is throw subs. Then Kendrick said “fukk both ya’ll nikkas I’M the best and willing to go to the depths of hell to prove it” and Cole got shook but his ego mandated he respond so we got 7 Minute Drill. He realized he didn’t have anything in the tank after that so went the “grown man” route and here we are.
