J Fold- 7 minute Apology (redacted Kendrick Lamar dis)

[Big Boss]

The picture he paintedwas that Kendrick was on a decline, commercially and talent wise. And then Kendrick had one of the biggest years of his career and dropped one of his biggest albums. With multiple #1 records in there, including the #1 song in the country as we speak. I'm not a numbers guy when it comes to rap but when a diss is predicated on arguing a guy is bitter because he's not popping anymore....and then he has the type of year Kendrick had? That's a terrible diss. It was bad at the time and it's even worse in hindsight.

Taking pot shots at TPAB when this nikka made his own quasi TPAB immediately afterwards is hilarious.

You know a nikka's discography questionable when you gotta bring up mixtapes and features lmao. Cole got arguably the worst debut album of any noteworthy rapper, his second album was meh, and he hasn't come close to replicating the success of his third album which came out over a decade ago.

Dude had the best selling rap tour of all time as a solo rapper for a critically acclaimed album often hailed as a musical masterpiece but it was tragic, sure
His love tap was more of a "I'm jealous of the fact your worst album, which is the longuest chartin rap album of all time, is better than my best effort".

It was a blatant lie for fun but the joke ain't funny when it comes from someone that can not back it up with a good enough catalog.

Lmfao nobody were in their feelings, everybody LAUGHED at it, thats the huge difference.
Even an hater like Akademiks said this was the worst possible angle considering kendrick had the most acclaimed discography in rap history, and cole possibly the weakest one for a mainstream rapper of that caliber.


This is like Lil Wayne taking shots at Outkast's discography...

GNX aint even better than DAMN. Lyrically he’s seems to peak at TPAB. Averaging a dope verse every 30 months or something was valid criticism at the time. Even Dots best rap performance are a response to Drake?After coming off his 5 year hiatus it’s clear his best shyt is behind him permanently.

A lot of revisionist history like the beef with Drake wasn’t a stimulus for last years success. The SB performance was a stimulus. I could also mention running back to SZA AFTER her huge success with SOS. Where’s the On The Radar Freestyle? Where’s the Churchill Downs feature from Dot? Even Cole is rapping beside west coast elite rappers like Daylyt and Ab-Soul meanwhile Dot got us stuck with trash rappers like Carti and the new age Outlawz.

Born Sinner was great and FNL is a classic.

-According to who? you? Plenty of people that are way more qualified than you believe its his best album after TPAB. So how can his best shyt be behind him when he just released one of his best albums? and like Ebro and plenty of other said, possibly the last perfect album in years from a pure objective standpoint...

-Lol at "running back to SZA" when Kendrick is bigger, gave her her biggest hits, and writes for her

-Born Sinner was mid...and not according to me, because I think it's the perfect definition of a 1/10 album.

-Kendrick never needed a stimulus, He has the best selling rap song of all time, and it came before the beef. He had and I believe he still has, the best selling rap tour of all time, as a solo rapper (Drake needed collaborators and joint headliners to break that), and it came just before the beef, and he proved that by taking a commercial route, he could outsell Drake as he also has the 2nd biggest rap album of the century in his discogaphy, in terms of pure charts performance as confirmed by Billboard. Thinking Kendrick needs a stimulus is a big joke


Like you said, plenty of revisionist shyt in your post. Just because its 2025 doesn't mean we forgot Cole's catalog is widely considered as very underwhelming. He can do all the freestyles he wants, it doesn't change the fact his solo discography is being seen as weak.

Put any Cole album in Kendrick's discography and that would be his worst record. Not saying I don't personally enjoy his albums, but he doesn't have any project that can compare to any kendrick album quality wise. ALL Kendrick albums have an argument to be his best album, while cole only has 1 album that standout and mostly by default because he never really delivered any masterpiece.

You're a clown, basically everything you said is wrong lol. And for the record, an SB performance has never been a stimulus to anyone. Before Kendrick, the biggest stimulus an artist ever received from the Superbowl is Usher seeing one of his songs re-entering the top 100 at #20 for a very short period of time

Gnx > damn
And Cole averaging a dope verse every 90 months if we keeping it real, unless you're a die hard and delusional cole fan that doesn't really comprehend what lyricism is.

Cole was never talented enough for a rap battle and with only 1 above average album in his catalog, he never really had any credibility for this either.

 

[kwazzy100]

Called Morale tragic which it was. Called TPAB boring and gassed which it was to fans who prefer GKMC/DAMN. Said DAMN was huge and was his prime. This shyt was a love tap but Dot stans were so upset. lol

Here's the thing, TPAB was Kendrick's third album. Section 80 was his first album, but I think Cole was calling this a classic because he made Hiii Power. Plus, TPAB probably had more buzz than GKMC, not to say which album is better than the other.

GNX is a dope album. Does anyone deny that? I don't think it's better than DAMN.

Of course the beef was a stimulus. The two biggest rappers went at each other, what do you expect. And of course the SB performance was a stimulus. But none of this works without making the right records. Nobody on this forum thought he'd hit gold like Not Like Us. Hell nobody thought he'd hit gold like Like That either in terms of having another club anthem that nikkas were yelling bar for bar.

Running back to SZA as if they haven't worked together multiple times and were once label mates lol. He supposed to stop working with someone he has elite chemistry with because she blew up?

Born Sinner was weak. Let's not rewrite history. It was an improvement over the first album but he came out the gate 0-2. Didn't surpass his mixtapes until album number three. I'm not even hating on Cole...I think his later work has been better than his early work. Rare for a rapper. His last album (not counting Might Delete Later) was dope and I suspect The Fall Off will be dope too. But if this nikka wants to talk about greatness we're gonna put his catalog up compared to Kendrick and nobody on this forum thinks he wins that...except for you apparently.

This nikka said GNX ain't better than DAMN like DAMN wasn't a classic album. I personally think that DAMN is better than GNX, but we're comparing an A+ on an assignment to and A on a assignment. We're splitting hairs. Dot also dropped heat from 2014-18 with hits on each album and all critically acclaimed. Comes back four years later and dropped a very personal album that's also critically acclaimed. I'll admit, I didn't care for it initially, but I have since changed my stance on that after actually listening to it instead of hearing it. GNX was back to pure form with raw raps and hard beats as he said in his interview. shyt was also critically acclaimed and shyt; you see the numbers. They speak for themselves.

Your second paragraph is you just hating. GNX was coming in one form or another. He posted a teaser on his burner a few days before Like That dropped. Even if Drake didn't respond, the album would have still did DAMN like numbers because of how digestible it is for regular people. Instead Fold and Drake responded and the rest is history. nikkas gotta stop acting like Kendrick wasn't the second most popular rapper numbers wise before this beef. A majority of people already though he was the best rapper of that generation anyway.

No rapper from his generation got the catalog Kendrick got. Drake last classic was IYRTITL and he ain't even write the shyt, and Fold shyt ain't been great since 2014. Quality over Quantity.

That's why it was funny when Cole was going after Kendrick discography


People been making fun of Cole discography for years "Cole is boring", "Nyquil Cole"


It's a reason Cole was going on a feature run the last 3 to 4 years

I actually think Kendrick discography if he never made music again is top 5/GOAT worthy. But I also believe he’s not as consistent lyrically as he was in his prime. Cole bringing up Dots discography was a horrible take even though it wasn’t that scathing.

Born Sinner was a solid 4/5. Def considered one of Cole’s best.

 

[Switch]

Still can’t believe how he handled this, not even just backing but doing it on stage. “That don’t sit right with my spirit”

He’s put out some good verses since but it just doesn’t hit the same
