Joe Budden weighs in on J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar situation.
J. Cole is currently the trending topic in hip-hop following his apology to Kendrick Lamar after dissing him on the song titled “7 Minute Drill”. Joe Budden now also weighs in on the situation and calls the apology unacceptable.
“What a bold, mature move for hip-hop,” Joe said in his podcast. “Very rarely do we see these type of mature moves. So, I wanna highlight that…If it didn’t sit right with his soul and his heart and his spirit, and he wasn’t up for the task, I’m not with the cosplaying.”
“This is totally unacceptable to me,” he continued. “And I told y’all dudes that when these ni–as was out there onstage frolicking and acting like they best buddies. These ni–as get on stages and say anything. It’s way too many clips going around of him saying that same speech to Drake about him being the greatest that he says to Kendrick about him being the greatest. Where do you truly stand?”
“I don’t want to hear no more about [7 Minute Drill],” Joe said. “He didn’t mean it. It sounded like he didn’t mean it. His voice was trembling like he didn’t mean it. His choice of words as one of the greatest lyricists says he didn’t mean it. Honestly, what you did right now is make the ‘Like That’ record sound harder.”
“What a position for Drake to be in,” Joe continued. “Drake has had a chance to see, even in Cole’s half-hearted diss, it worked a little… Drake get to see what worked, what didn’t work. How you are received when you go too fast. How you are received lyrically versus that. You just get to watch. It’s like game tape.”
