The J. Cole Kendrick Lamar beef is officially over. Things heated up this weekend with J. Cole’s release of his album, specifically the track “7 Minute Drill.” The song contains lyrics that seem to directly respond to Kendrick Lamar’s verse in the Future and Metro Boomin’ track “Like That.” In “7 Minute Drill,” J. Cole raps
7 Minute Drill
“The rap beef ain’t realer than the s**t I seen in Cumberland
He averagin’ one hard verse like every thirty months or somethin’
If he wasn’t dissin’ then we wouldn’t be discussin’, huh?
Lord, don’t make me have to smoke this n***a ’cause I f**k with him
But push come to shove, on this mic, I will humble him
I’m Mino with this thing, this that New Jack City meme”
Last night, during his set at the Dreamville Festival in North Carolina, J. Cole says the diss track hasn’t felt good or right with his spirit. He went on to ask the crowd: “I want to say right now tonight, how many people think Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest motherf**er’s to ever touch a f***in’ microphone? Dreamville, y’all love Kendrick Lamar, correct? As do I.”
