The verse is packed with punches. Kendrick throws shade at Drake and J. Cole’s recent collab “First Person Shooter,” accusing them of taking subtle jabs without directly mentioning names. It’s like he’s saying, “Stop hiding behind your lyrics, if you got beef, spit it straight!”
Kendrick doesn’t mince words. He rejects the whole “Big Three” idea, where fans often place him, Drake, and J. Cole on the same throne. This verse is a clear message: “There’s only one king, and it’s me.”
Kendrick doesn’t stop there. He takes aim at Drake’s album title “For All the Dogs” (ouch!), seemingly suggesting it won’t have lasting impact. He then compares himself to the legendary Prince, implying his work will be remembered for generations. J. Cole doesn’t escape unscathed either – Kendrick suggests his best efforts haven’t quite measured up.
The final line of the verse is the most cryptic – Kendrick mentions “nines” and “Pet Sematary.” Is this a metaphorical threat? Is he saying he’s coming to bury Drake’s career? Fans are deciphering this like a rap riddle!
But this is not the first time this quartet has dissed one another. Although tensions have been brewing for several years. In 2015, when Drake released “If You Know You Know,” reactions were mixed. Some believed the chorus was a response to Kendrick’s lauded album “To Pimp a Butterfly.” In 2016, J. Cole voiced his dissent, “False Prophets” was taken by some as a criticism of Kendrick’s conscious rapping style. While in 2017, fans combed through Kendrick’s “DNA. “ to find hidden insults directed at Drake and J. Cole.
Fans are breaking down Kendrick’s verses, making memes, and debating which artist will respond next. Drake and J. Cole, will they take up the charge? This is a rap beef that is girding itself for an all-out war, and fans can hardly wait for it to begin.
Stay tuned, hip-hop lovers, because this Kendrick Lamar Drake J. Cole diss drama is just getting started!
