it sucks ass. if i wanna listen to da art of storytellin pt 1 i would listen to it. don’t need a mediocre j cole flip

just gave you facts you can check yourself but whatever p****

i was like 14/15 when it dropped so it isn’t like i was oblivious. the issue is never rated him. i’d get told by so and so friend that this album was super crazy then i’d listen. it’s just really average rap.

Yea for sure I can see Kendrick being hard headed when it comes to a Drake reconciliation as well

Man imagine Dot brings out Cole and Drake at the Super Bowl on some grown man healing type s***

Not Cole calling out Kendrick for using bots and paying off streamers

Live your truth

p****

I'm shook Cole apologising to Drake for apologising to Kendrick is really the post beef goat track

Last part of Cole's verse is a direct reply to Rory and Mal lol.

They'll reconcile one day for sure. Maybe not anytime soon, but sometimes people forget life is so much bigger than this music s***. Both of them are going to still be here for a while, watch their kids grow, maybe become grandfathers in due time. This beef s*** will be but a blip on their total timeline

YouTube views are inaccuate for the first ~24 hours

support.google.com/youtube/community-guide/249062165/struggling-with-low-views-or-a-frozen-view-count

at that point he solidified as the GOAT cause that’ll be some s*** right there

thats not the point im making, 350k likes in an hour. where they do that @??

38 million views, 1.8 million likes Isn’t that crazy. This beef was a cultural moment and everyone was tapped in. Fans went out the way to like/dislike these songs

You also keep talking about it having the same number of likes as views, YouTube is broken as f*** and doesn’t display that s*** correctly. Anytime a video does quick numbers it breaks the view counter

By 2am that night the views were almost equal with MTG having a slight lead

Nah that's a fair take, I can get not rating him, personally that album is way too entrenched in my teen years to not consider it classic tho, not even the biggest Cole fan that record takes me back tho

all i know is kendricks numbers were just fine, his s*** has more likes than FM the minute it dropped, fact

Lol at the Kenny fans being in denial.

Cole just confirmed the obvious.

The "beef" was manufactured for clicks and sales. Metro and Ross already lowkey admitted this.

Kenny used bots to sway the "battle" and push false narratives

Aint none of it was based on any real beef just sales

Thanks Kendrick. Can't wait for Drake to step up too

Anyway, back to the song.
I like the Cleo sample, the song is an all timer, Sean sampled it on the last album too. Soft niggas we up

Would be wild af and would set a fairly nice example to the culture on how grown men can reconcile differences even when s*** gets real

Goodluck on your journey of becoming a better comprehensive listener dog.

Kinda wish Cole didn't address why he backed out from the beef. It sucks that he did and he'll never truly live that action down in the minds of an entire generation of rap fans but he backed out and he shouldn't have felt the need to defend the position a second time.

Funny enough, this is probably the best Cole song in a really long time to me. He sounds like vintage Cole on this and the best parts of the song to me are the parts where he isn't addressing the beef. Also cool for him to clear up that he doesn't have any issues with Drake because it did seem like her switched up on him there for a minute.

Outside of that, really solid track with a lot of dope bars that drive home why Cole is one of the best niggas rapping. Sadly enough, the response I've seen to this on social media has been mixed to negative.
