Maybe WE owe J Cole an apology 

I agree, now that the beef is over and ended messy, I think the narrative is already changing. We forget that courageous inspiration is almost never accepted by the masses at first.

He stepped in the ring tho. Plus he keeps rapping about battling rappers. Lots of rappers have gone back and forth in hip hop history. He just aint built like that to back his raps. He constantly invites this.

@@MalikMoorBeatz I think Styles P put it best in a recent interview: Kdot and Cole fight differently. Kdot is a ferocious hand to hand combatant, Cole is a cold sniper. Cole stepped out of the battle (MOSTLY for business reasons IMO), but he remains a full participant in the war.

Do you think best applies to the best version of his artistic expression or best compared to other MCs technically? I can see why people disagreed with his apology and I also see why you say that women ( I speak for myself) "don't understand" because we don't have the same competitive culture. His personal decision to apologize is a different matter I think, but man there was just so much in the album that spoke to where he was mentally to do something like that and I think it's overlooked. What did you think about the album?

He also has a theme of not backing down to anybody in the rap game and the apology can be seen as backing down. But he's also an artist that constantly speaks on growth and mistakes. There are layers that are valuable to dig into in my opinion. I think he has the most interesting angle.

This is far from the first time he was tested. Were you around a cupla years ago when a whole generation of peeps were yelling "f J Cole"?

Being the best doesn’t mean engaging in a gossip battle with two people you’re close to. He’s also said before he cares more about the relationship he has with Drake and Kendrick.

Every rapper ever does that 😂
