J. Cole went straight for the jugular when firing again at Kendrick Lamar … calling Okay.dot’s critically acclaimed “To Pimp a Butterfly” album the audio model of a sleeping capsule, and people are mad.
On Friday, Cole left the rap web in a tizzy because of his shock mission “Might Delete Later” … which options the tune “7 Minute Drill,” and a direct response to Kendrick’s “Like That” disses that dominated the Billboard Charts these previous couple weeks.

Cole took a web page outta Jay-Z‘s notorious Nas diss observe right here … Kendrick’s albums “good child, m.A.A.d metropolis” and “DAMN” got their due credit score, however JC writes off ‘TPAB’ off as overrated trash that obtained the eye of outdoor media.
Cole coldly raps … “[Kendrick] nonetheless doin’ reveals, however fell off like The Simpsons/Your first s*** was basic, your final s*** was tragic/Your second s*** put n****s to sleep, however they gassed it/Your third s*** was large and that was your prime I used to be trailin’ proper behind and I simply now hit mine.”
Terrace Martin, the first producer for ‘TPAB’ and Kendrick’s ex-TDE exec President Punch all took exception to the bars, as did a number of different Cali artists … Jason Martin and El Prez. There’s been loads of chatter about Cole’s tackle ‘Butterfly’ … some agree with him, others say he is lifeless unsuitable.
Cole actually obtained half the TL overtly slandering TPAB in unison. I’ve waited for this second for YEARS.

Also … ‘Joe Budden Podcast’ cohost Officially Ice is stirring the pot as properly by welcoming the anarchy. On its face, Cole could have brought about a rap Civil War. No official phrase from Drake but.
We’re certain Kendrick will reply too, FWIW.
