To be fair the full Hov line is

"Tell them ordinary Joes, button up"

to make it more clear lol

He says generation next

Yachty basically been going through his “pretentious” stage which is Tyler’s domain lol

The song itself actually reminds me of that Sorry Not Sorry song Tyler did, as far as energy and intent, the way Yachty is kind of demanding his respect on the joint

I feel like Let’s Start Here had a couple songs that were blatant Tyler influence too, not the rock heavy tracks but there was at least one “pretty chord indie R&b” song that sounded straight off a Tyler album. And as a whole, the whole bid to be taken more seriously felt like it’s out of Tyler’s book when he made things like Wolf, Flower Boy, and Igor as he got more artistic

Bait, the whole damn verse is about K. Dot

Do you listen to music or do you just skim through?

Cole vs K dot what we need, leave the conscious s*** out for a moment

This is exactly what they doing itt

I'm sorry but Yachty so ass on this

Cole talking about stepping, someone who’s older trying to fit in with a new style of dress and rapping and dancing (the way you move/step) like Kendrick did in Hillbillies, and someone being fake woke which was drake’s diss at Kendrick, on a song with drake’s friend while bigging up drake

There’s a decent amount of evidence here, I’m not saying it’s definite but the way I’m getting called crazy for thinking it could be is wild to me

I think cole v kendrick would be like nas v hov

Im taking cole tbh

Except it’s really not because Cole is clearly talking to specific rappers on this song, and the line you pulled is from a song that isn’t about that subject matter

This is on a competitive rap verse where Cole is clearly addressing people and then says step/steppers not once in the context of disses, but twice

Yea I'm just saying Hov was less ambiguous. There's no debate to who he was talking out compared to this verse where niggas debating if he's dissing K Dot or Youngboy

The end part is obv about Youngboy

But how tf could the part about an older artist trying to fit in with the youth be about young boy

Fake woke part too

Cole really never raps like this lately, this has to be his most competitive verse since Firing Squad

And on a Yachty song while embodying drake’s style and mannerisms

Drake sent him on a mission lowkey

Cole went off while yatchy was struggling to breath

Cole is ILL

Yachty is such a new age hipster man lol

He really is lol but props to him, he figured out the cheat code to become one of the “acceptable” hip hop artists to the artsy hipsters/Tyler Kendrick JID fans

If Coles next album is about how the old generation/fans can't let go,he might have something there,it might hurt some feelings tho.

the facetime asking for a feature bar is about youngboy. how you miss that but making up kendrick diss fanfiction?

Coles introspection has to be the best part of his writing..

It’s a shame folk claim he’s boring

That’s the part I was referring to saying it’s about Youngboy

That’s the last diss section on the song so that’s why I called it the end part, the end of the disses

There’s two other diss schemes that come before that and don’t connect to Youngboy though so why is the Youngboy part being used to deflect from the other parts? I didn’t miss it

Cause the two other sections aren't aimed at the same people lol w the first being a one shoe fits all
