- 0:35Speaker 2: big neat okay now. This past Friday, J Cole decided
- 0:40Speaker 2: to respond when he dropped a surprise project called Mike
- 0:44Speaker 2: Delete later and on his seven minute drill.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Uh, he threw some shot backs, threw some shots back
- 0:48Speaker 1: at Kendrick. Let's listen but fell off like.
- 0:50Speaker 3: The sence first classic that your last was tragical.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Let the record show.
- 0:55Speaker 2: When I heard that last week, I immediately said to myself,
- 0:57Speaker 2: j Cole needs to delete that now, don't wait until later, Okay,
- 1:01Speaker 2: I told people Jake Cole sounded like he didn't even
- 1:03Speaker 2: believe what he was saying about Kendrick. He said Kendrick
- 1:06Speaker 2: fell off like the Simpsons. The Simpsons been off for
- 1:08Speaker 2: thirty five years. At the top of the game, he
- 1:11Speaker 2: sounds to look he had a gun in his head
- 1:13Speaker 2: and he was being forced to read a bunch of
- 1:15Speaker 2: stupid ass rhetoric that he got from social media and
- 1:17Speaker 2: YouTube videos.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Because if it's.
- 1:19Speaker 2: One thing you cannot go at Kung Fu Kenny for
- 1:21Speaker 2: it's his music. That's all Kendrick stands on. That's his business,
- 1:25Speaker 2: the music. He is in the business of making classic,
- 1:28Speaker 2: timeless music that even if you don't get in the moment,
- 1:32Speaker 2: it will be there waiting for you when you catch up.
- 1:34Speaker 2: So not only did I think Cole's response was weak,
- 1:36Speaker 2: I just knew he didn't believe anything he was saying.
- 1:38Speaker 2: And all of that was confirmed for me last night
- 1:40Speaker 2: at the Dreamville Festival when Cole decided to apologize to
- 1:43Speaker 2: Kendrick Clabaar, let's listen.
- 1:45Speaker 3: In my spirit of trying to like get this music out,
- 1:48Speaker 3: I moved in a way that was that I feel
- 1:50Speaker 3: spiritually feel bad on me, like like I try to
- 1:54Speaker 3: like jab the back and I'll try to keep it friendly.
- 1:57Speaker 3: When I listened to it and when it comes out
- 1:59Speaker 3: and I see to talk that don't sit right with
- 2:02Speaker 3: my spirit, that make me feel that disrupts my peace.
- 2:06Speaker 3: So what I want to say right here tonight is
- 2:08Speaker 3: in the midst of me doing that and in that
- 2:10Speaker 3: shit trying to find a little angle and down play this,
- 2:13Speaker 3: this catalog and his greatness. I just want to come
- 2:17Speaker 3: up here and be like publicly, be like bro. That
- 2:20Speaker 3: was the lamest like goofyus. And it may I say
- 2:22Speaker 3: all that to say it made me feel like ten
- 2:24Speaker 3: years ago when I was moving incorrectly.
- 2:26Speaker 1: And I pray that God.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Aligne me back up on my purpose and on my path,
- 2:31Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I pray that my really
- 2:32Speaker 3: didn't feel no way, and if he did, got my
- 2:34Speaker 3: chin out, take your best shout. I'm take that in
- 2:36Speaker 3: the chin, boy, don't you do.
- 2:38Speaker 1: I pray that, you know.
- 2:39Speaker 3: I pray that y'all are like forgiven for like the misstep,
- 2:42Speaker 3: and then and then I can get back to my
- 2:43Speaker 3: true path because I ain't gonna lot of y'all. Past
- 2:46Speaker 3: two days felt terrible, and let me know how good
- 2:49Speaker 3: I've been sleeping for the past ten years.
- 2:50Speaker 1: That's right. I have feelings as a man, feelings of
- 2:53Speaker 1: a hip hop fan.
- 2:53Speaker 2: The hip hop fan in me isn't disappointing because in life,
- 2:56Speaker 2: you have to pick your battles, and you have to
- 2:57Speaker 2: pick your battles carefully because danger comes from trying to
- 3:00Speaker 2: past your limits.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Cole, No, he didn't really want it with Kendrick.
- 3:03Speaker 2: So if you don't really want it with a person,
- 3:04Speaker 2: then you are pushing yourself past the limit you aren't
- 3:07Speaker 2: willing to go, and that's usually when you end.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Up getting hurt.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Not to mention, Cole said something very important in that apology.
- 3:13Speaker 2: He said it didn't sit right with his spirit. You
- 3:15Speaker 2: must always listen to your spirit, and Cole, the reason
- 3:18Speaker 2: your Kendrick just didn't sit right and your spirit.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Was because you knew you was lying. Okay, you knew you.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Didn't feel like that about Kendrick's music. You are an artist,
- 3:28Speaker 2: a true MC. So there is not too many people
- 3:30Speaker 2: who appreciate.
- 3:31Speaker 1: What Kendrick Lamar does as much as you do.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar don't need to be a part of every
- 3:35Speaker 2: algorithm on social media because Kendrick isn't a surfer, He's
- 3:39Speaker 2: a wave. There is a difference. A lot of y'all
- 3:41Speaker 2: are just surfers. You get online every day looking for a.
- 3:44Speaker 1: New wave to ride.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Kendrick when he drops projects, creates those ways that people
- 3:49Speaker 2: ride period Good Kid, Mad City classic album. We noticed
- 3:52Speaker 2: the Pimple Butterfly, my favorite Kendrick Lamar album. That album
- 3:54Speaker 2: is blackly black black. If you ask me, Kendrick re
- 3:57Speaker 2: ushered in a black renaissance in music with that album.
- 4:00Speaker 2: That's a discussion for another day. Damn is a great project.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I don't know if I have it as classic status,
- 4:04Speaker 2: but Cole, you said that's his prime.
- 4:05Speaker 1: You said that was his peak. So if that's the case.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Then you think that's his best body of work. So
- 4:10Speaker 2: that's three classic albums were discussing. And then mister Moralan
- 4:13Speaker 2: and the Big Steppers. I told y'all much ago. In
- 4:14Speaker 2: the future, we are gonna look at that and jay
- 4:17Speaker 2: Z's four four four as two of the most important
- 4:19Speaker 2: hip hop albums of all time. And you know when
- 4:21Speaker 2: that's going to come. When you unhealed heathens get some
- 4:24Speaker 2: healing when you men grow up. And that's what we
- 4:27Speaker 2: are here to talk about today. The rap fan in
- 4:29Speaker 2: me understands the disappointment many of you feeling. Cole with
- 4:33Speaker 2: the man in me who understands that I'm a spiritual
- 4:35Speaker 2: being living in human existence, has nothing but respect for
- 4:37Speaker 2: what j Cole did see. So many of us lead
- 4:41Speaker 2: with pride and ego nowadays, and we let these idiots
- 4:43Speaker 2: on social media who we don't even know pair pressure
- 4:46Speaker 2: us to say things and do things that we don't
- 4:48Speaker 2: even want to do. It takes a real human to
- 4:50Speaker 2: check himself and say, man, what I'm doing. I don't
- 4:53Speaker 2: even believe, I don't even believe in I don't believe
- 4:55Speaker 2: what I said. I don't even believe in what I did.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Apologize and keep it moving. Y'all want a man to
- 5:00Speaker 2: attack of man for your entertainment. Because we are a
- 5:02Speaker 2: culture that feeds off conflict, we just have to have
- 5:05Speaker 2: some conflict to feast on. We like to see people
- 5:08Speaker 2: at war with each other because so many of us
- 5:10Speaker 2: are at war with ourselves.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Really that simple, okay.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Unhealed people hurt people and love to see other people hurt.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Healed people and people on a healing journey aren't in
- 5:20Speaker 2: the hurt business. Often, individuals who have experienced hurt hav't
- 5:23Speaker 2: processed their pain are developed effective coping strategies. Their unprocessed
- 5:27Speaker 2: emotions can manifest as aggressive behavior. Towards others, and additionally,
- 5:32Speaker 2: they may replicate the damaging behaviors they have experienced, a
- 5:35Speaker 2: phenomenon known as the cycle of abuse. Salute the Coal
- 5:38Speaker 2: for breaking the cycle, especially if he simply doesn't want to.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Good for you, Coal for not succumbing to the pier
- 5:46Speaker 2: pressure of your homeboys, other artists.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Social media.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Whatever it is, Okay, you as a man and rapper
- 5:52Speaker 2: didn't feel comfortable with what you did. Bravo for apologizing,
- 5:56Speaker 2: Bravo for doing what you feel in your spirits. So
- 5:58Speaker 2: when y'all having these common about Coal and being disappointed.
- 6:02Speaker 1: That he apologized, ask yourself, what's that about?
- 6:05Speaker 2: Make sure that's not your wounded ego talking? And I
- 6:07Speaker 2: want to say something else. Why are y'all so controlled
- 6:10Speaker 2: by other people? Some of y'all had the nerve to
- 6:13Speaker 2: ride with Cole when he told you to lie.
- 6:14Speaker 1: He told you about Kendrick Obs.
- 6:16Speaker 2: He was right there all weekend acting like Cole was
- 6:19Speaker 2: right about Kendrick's projects. Whole time he was capping and
- 6:22Speaker 2: you was right there Cole signing the cap. Just Friday,
- 6:26Speaker 2: y'all was saying Cole is number one. Y'all had Coal one,
- 6:29Speaker 2: Kendrick zero trending now that Coal is apologized for cappin
- 6:33Speaker 2: y'all saying he backed the number three, y'all calling him
- 6:37Speaker 2: the middle child again, not forty eight hours after y'all
- 6:40Speaker 2: was just.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Saying he's number one.
- 6:41Speaker 2: This is exactly why you should always just do you
- 6:44Speaker 2: and do what your spirit tells you to do. Don't
- 6:47Speaker 2: listen to none of these fools because they never know
- 6:49Speaker 2: what they want. Please give all these unhealed heathons mad
- 6:52Speaker 2: at Coal for apologizing the biggest he huh, All.

- 7:10Speaker 4: that unheal heath and we all know this is well
- 7:13Speaker 4: I am, but J Cole when it came to J Cole,
- 7:15Speaker 4: people always, in my opinion, slept on J Cole. They
- 7:18Speaker 4: always had a problem with Ja Cole.
- 7:19Speaker 2: He produced his own beats.
- 7:21Speaker 4: His beats don't knock the same. In the last three
- 7:23Speaker 4: four years, J Cole has been getting on other people's beats.
- 7:25Speaker 4: He's been getting on records with people embodying everything he
- 7:28Speaker 4: put out. You get on first person shooter and people
- 7:31Speaker 4: started comparing him. He said he wants to be number one.
- 7:34Speaker 4: He said he's number one. This is lyrical warfit. This
