So what would the appropriate response should have been? It's a rap diss only so much ground to cover if you're going to respond.

he over reacted, he took it too far with what he said.

the appropriate response would be to say, I'm the best and nobody can mess with me.

but attacking Kendrick was different.

S*** ruined this whole tape

Havent played it since sunday

Sad cuz the 2nd half of 7 min drill is prob the best beat coles ever rapped on

frfr this might be my least favorite cole project besides the come up

This cringe worthy

He not a good enough rapper to be talking

The diss wasn’t great, the apology was cringe, this project still top tier Cole

bro didn’t my even ask for no bread

RESPECT

truly the only line he shouldn't have said was the TPAB slander. I feel like that's the line he truly didn't even belief himself. Most people cant defend Mr Morale like they can defend TPAB. Him saying "he averaging a hard verse every 30 months" was fine, kendrick cant really refute that.

Your first s*** was classic, your last s*** was tragic
THAT s*** put niggas to sleep, but they gassed it
Your third s*** was massive and that was your prime

Cole coulda said this and nobody could hate (even though I like Morale)

that’s hilarious man

This album is pretty fire, the more I listen the more I like it

Bro this confused the hell outta me tbh as I always thought of Section.80 as Kendrick's first album

Took me a while to realise he was saying that TPAB was the one that put everyone to sleep and Damn was the prime

This has some great tracks like Huntin Wabbitz and Crocodile Tearz but also some meh tracks

The apology is gonna get sampled in the future

Yeah he f***ed up with the catalog talk a part of me was like he's rejecting the song not the beef but it's clear he just doesn't want beef with kendrick at all, cause him going at catalog was kinda wild, even as a mid diss, for a guy like kendrick, it must have hit different, Cole recognized that, fortunately for him he's bigger than all these other guys except the two niggas above him, he's set and he's cool, this outrage will fade

Nah, Cole sounds like he'd like Mr morale, this catalog talk was just a weird angle, maybe drake could say that since he not in the ilk of kendrick Nas common and tip

Cole and Kendrick are friends Cole was probably like f*** that fake beef im out

critics are really hating on this damn

COLE HEARD THIS FT. KENNY

did cole technically apologize on stage? He never said “I apologize” or “I’m sorry”. Either way, I think the whole thing was intentional….to play off “might delete later”. Everything is calculated

unfairly might I add

"i just wanna come up here and publicly be like, bruh that was the lamest, goofiest s***"

"i pray that my nigga really didn't feel no way, and if he did, i got my chin out"

"i pray y'all forgive a nigga for the misstep"

bro apologized to himself, kendrick, and the crowd. and nothing is intentional about it man. the "Might Delete Later" vlogs were a thing before the Like That verse existed, that stops that theory right in its tracks unfortunately. he just had a revelation after doing what he did.
