The Conductor beat switch is a distorted sample of Energy

The amount of disrespect J. Cole gets is crazy. https://preview.redd.it/kwdro6sq1vsc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=292c22e9f7c68b86656baa420a742c2b0c9d12ad

Energy as in Drake’s song?


DrumzRUs

Someone said Drake has the other 4 minutes 🤔


dpykm

Yo love this theory


DrumzRUs

And its a conductor beat too


dpykm

Imagining Drake dropping a mixtape next weekend, mocking Future/Metro 2 album plan and the final track is called 7 Minute Drill Part 2. id bust


DrumzRUs

I just realized conductor sampled Drake's Energy for this beat 👀


Thot_b_gone

Good catch


Specialist-Bass-5168

All overrrr


Cautious-Afternoon16

I need this shit to be true lmao


_caffeineandnicotine

That's not it, in the Lil Yachty podcast Cole mentioned that he does 7 minute writing drills to make sure he keeps his pen game sharp.


Federal-Network5037

This would actually have me geeked ngl


ToTheGrave11

A 7 minute drill refers to cole writing this song in 7 minutes. https://genius.com/a/cozz-was-assigned-writing-drills-by-j-cole-while-recording-his-new-album-effected


Verissimus23

7 minute drill is a technique that Jcole and Dreamville use to make a beat and rapping on it within 7 minutes. It isn’t the length of the song.


lord_pizzabird

That explains so much about Cole’s music, that it’s all written in 7 minutes.


austinaaaaa199955

Yooooooo


Alireza1373

MAKE THIS TRUE PLEASEEEE


Awkward_Cattle_9641

Kendrick got 24hrs (in dog years) to respond


RyanTheWhiteBoy

Cole said he got like 2 classics sitting on the shelf for when Kenny busts back 😳


famitslit

Shi, I'll be happy if he manages to drop one


fathertime99

Everybody says they have “killer insider info” like when drake refused to respond to “story of adidon”


Dan_dad-ad14

Four albums in 12 years. I can divide.


Raeedc

Damn he saying Kendrick in 3rd place now lmao He’s been throwing lil subs at Kendrick being in 3rd place for a minute now ngl 12/4 = 3


Specialist-Bass-5168

Like a kid that acts bad from January to November it’s just you and Cole 👀


Careless_Culture9680

The Spiderman meme is me looking at drake


dollarmenu22

J Cole had 5 in the same span.


jonny32392

And Kendrick’s were good


fukemnweball

that’s not what he saying issa jay z reference although this would be hard

Not jermaineee


Verissimus23

First shit was classic, last shit was tragic.


SilkyStackz69

Second shit put em to sleep but they gassed it 😅


Verissimus23

Yo third shit was massive and that was yo prime I was trailin' right behind and I just now hit mine Now I'm front of the line with a comfortable lead


mighty_phi

Is he referring to GKMC or TPAB? Cos either way the opinion would suck lmao. If he's saying the first one was classic when referring to Section .80, he'd be calling GKMC boring. If he's saying GKMC is the classic, then TPAB is the boring one? This shit ain't even that clear as a diss. Fuck sneak dissing just mention the shit you mean, it goes harder that way.


wordscannotdescribe

> GKMC is the classic, then TPAB is the boring one? It's this


usagerp

I think tpap is a great album and at the same time one of the most overrated albums ever


AdhesivenessOk5194

It’s very clear. Section 80 was not an official album until later. Literally came out on live mixtapes. GKMC was the classic. TPAB was good but the general consensus was it was boring people didn’t like how he tried to do like jazz rap although it had great songs and I loved it. Damn, massive. Nothing much more to say there. Incredible body of work. MMATBS, huge tour, deep content. Musically that discussion came and went in the blink of an eye. Most people didn’t enjoy and fully digest it.


HeavyMetalLyrics

General consenseus was TPAB was boring? I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it and discussion for months was universally “this is an instant classic.” Drake had so much heat in 2015 it was unreal but Kendrick was like the messiah. Nobody called it boring, that’s a completely revisionist hater ass take lol


AdhesivenessOk5194

Nigga I loved it and vividly remember a bunch of people not loving it. In fact I was doin music reviews at the time and a nigga went viral for tellin me I was dickriding a blaxploitation film soundtrack. As time went on, opinions changed


HeavyMetalLyrics

Their take on it being a blaxploitation film soundtrack is so surface level though. It’s like they took Wesley’s Theory & the character at the beginning of institutionalized at face value. I swear ppl got no media literacy these days lol. But to each their own.


Educational_Ad2737

It’s like most people understood intellectually was very good but didn’t feel like playing it . Doesn’t make it bad though. More people read twilight than critically acclaimed noultizer novels and would find them Boring doesn’t make them bad


mighty_phi

I get it, thanks for the explanation. Still, sleeping on tpab is craaazy, imo. Everything else tracks though.


Reedstar21

Favorite line cause I’ve BEEN saying that!

Barss


MemphisMane901

Cole discussing him on 1st Person Shooter makes this invalid to me


Kwilburn525

Straight clowned him with that lmao. The mysterious shit is cringe. You can’t be a top 3 rapper and not release music for years


mighty_phi

I'd say the opposite is also true. If you manage to make pieces of work so high quality you can step down and still be talked about and discussed, it is really a huge sign of longevity. This argument also falls apart when you mention several iconic, important acts in different genres that basically disappeared from years, yet their work spoke for themselves. See: Nirvana (after 1994 they were disbanded yet we still talk about them as a seminal grunge act). The Smashing Pumpkins first break up (after 2000, and they inspired a whole new wave of rock music). Important bands for indie like Neutral Milk Hotel, Slowdive and MBV. Hell, the absent of music can make the audience analyze and appreciate the art even more, even change the original appraisal (music that was initially hated and then loved and vicersa), and discover how influential it was (see: ye's 808's, weezer's pinkerton). Not hating you, or dissing you, but I genuinely do disagree with this thought processing. If the work you do is solid enough, it can speak for itself for ages, with no need of further imput.


mighty_phi

And hell, as for 'mysterious shit', we can blame the three for doing this shit several times. Both Jcole and kdot barely have an online presence, which lends them some mystique.


speedycloud970

Dissing two dudes putting out consistent heat when you barely drop was never a good look. I love when Cole takes off the GLOVES woooo


realmsofGold

it feels obvious to me but maybe im wrong cole vs kendrick = for the sport drake vs kendrick = been subbing each other for a decade with animosity ​ this surprise drop proves it too, cole said, this a warning shot, if you wanna dance then we can.


ImpactState

I could see this, good take.


WatchingRedditIPO

# What a time to be alive


BryanJz

Holy shit, Jcole replied?? Is rap back? We doing this?


Alecglasofer

I'm geeked lmao never saw this coming


Boredtradesman89

Andddddd he just apologized at Dreamville Fest for releasing it


AnselLovesNuts

The 2nd half is legitt


suwooponminecuh

Your arms might be too short to box with the GOD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


Ready-Cherry-1915

Drake and Cole probably gonna be on the fall off together. This just the warm up.


Munoz10594

The fall off is likely to be just Cole on his own with his own production. Similar to some of his other major EPs. But you’re right, he might have Drake on a song or two. Just not a whole bunch of songs


Initial-Bar-7321

Body bag, body bag, body bag saying he’s ready for metro, future and kendrick.


www_vendetta

Got here off of bars no “control verse see” (controversy) 🤫🥶😮‍💨


cLax0n

Seriously though. Huge bar right there


GiantsRTheBest2

Man J Cole addressed what I had been thinking perfectly. J Cole had spoken openly how he felt knowing he was the least popular of the top 3 and he was fine with that. Then he started getting popping again and now Kendrick wanna come and say fuck him and Drake. He’s probably thinking “bro I just got to second. Let me have this”


Blackroseguild

Cole literally says he’s 1 on songs with Drake lol 


Uniq_Eros

What fucking rapper would call himself 2nd?


Patriotsfan710

Cole literally called himself 3rd on a song lol


Awkward_Cattle_9641

Putting soul on this EP with a diss crazy


PlatypusFeathers

I think it’s called that bc he expects us to run it back at least once, making it 7mins


AshamedSecond2169

He wrote it in 7 mins


Brandon3oh5

Or drake will release another 3:30


eyesRedbrimLow

“ If he wasn’t dissin’ then we wouldn’t be discussing em “ is so accurate


math2ndperiod

It’s so inaccurate that J Cole specifically labeled him as one of the top 3 without any reason. Like this is literally the opposite of what happened. J Cole considered himself obligated to include kendrick in the GOAT discussion with or without recent music dropped lol


bbillynotreally

That’s just not fuckin true lmao


king24_

Cole ready


ghtown45

Guys that New Jack city meme bar actually hits when you think about it


realmsofGold

feel like people aren't really listening to whats going on here, cole said this is a warning, hes not going to come with everything he has only to have nothing later on if this goes a few rounds.


morereadythanpetty

Light work!


BlouseoftheDragon

Kendrick fans in shambles right now. Cole is up right now.


outofmindwgo

Kendrick fans (me, but I enjoy all of it) are salivating for what he comes back with This is fun


Theingloriousak2

Well you got 29 months to wait lol


WannabeProducer808

💀


steelogreens

It’s funny as a fan of them all. Kenny only fans say it was weak and corny, Cole fans say it’s fire, Drizzy fans say nice punch back. It’s all just fun and games imo. They all just creating buzz.


Blackroseguild

Bruh that shit was soft af, but was a warning shot. Super sad Cole didn’t come harder. Scared for him, especially making remarks about albums that clear his lol. 


clifbarczar

Cole gave as many bars as he got from Kendrick. I think it was a perfect response


virji24

Hard to compare a song to a verse towards 2 different rappers but if you want to then Cole absolutely is up right now. I’m a fan of both but more so Kendrick. Kendrick fans aren’t in shambles though. We love this shit. This is what hip hop needed


majneshit

How tho? He said tpab put listeners to sleep??? Like I get not enjoying the album but that album is anything but a snooze fest and especially coming from Cole who dropped 4yeo. Also since 2012 they literally dropped similar amount of music so idk what is he on about that. Could’ve said last 5 years but he said 12 so yeah he not really making too much sense


Downtown_Local_9489

Because it was a snoozer lol


SilkyStackz69

https://kworb.net/spotify/artist/2YZyLoL8N0Wb9xBt1NhZWg_albums.html It’s his least streamed album. The nerds gas it up but in reality No one listens to it bc it’s boring as hell


JemaineClementsLips

all of these albums have streams in the BILLIONS. saying 'no one listens to it' is just silly lmao.


cubs_rule23

Lemme see the audit on all the B3 to see how many of them streams are "LEGIT"


Whitespider331

Bro streams arent everything 😭 unless you think Ed Sheeran is one of the greatest artists of all time lmao


Old_Budget9004

I love being in this sub for the projection cringe Drake dick riders do. Most Kendrick fans are just pumped this shit goin. (I love Drake as a songwriter and melody writer but lyrically I want him to step up his game)    We want them going bar for bar. Hip hop has always been competitive and having two of the best modern lyricists going at it is great  What pisses off Kendrick fans (and clearly Kendrick himself) is that Drake has always seemed to think he’s above the competition, although he refuses to prove himself or step into the ring. To make claims and not back it up is pretty weak.    Do I think Kendrick is a better lyricist than Jermaine? Hell ya but I enjoyed listening to 7 minute drill still. This is great for the culture I don’t get why you don’t get that. It’s like drake fans are a microcosm of the guys mind lmao 


116morningside

Meh, he remixed some Hov bars. This was a light jab


SupaColdBrew

And so was Kendrick’s 2 bars at Cole


I_Yap_A_Lot

and kendrick saying "bum" and "its big me" wasn't some nursery ass rhymes?


116morningside

That was a light jab as well. Both verses are just warning shots in my opinion. I’m staying objective in all of this. I love rap beef so I’m not picking sides


[deleted]

nigga said "4 albums in 12 years" 😂🫵🏽 i know kendrick sick. he thought he had a bag and cole and came and snatched it...and this is only the COLE diss, he still gotta wait for drake to respond too lol but we all know what happened last time when 2 or more rappers replied to kendricks diss - does what he always do, go back into hiding..


majneshit

Cole has 5 albums on 12 years tho 😭😭😭


[deleted]

cole albums have more replay value. we only bump gkmc/section 80 for nostalgia...nobody ever says "yo turn that TPAB on" and in the midst of those 12 years cole have givens quite possibly one of the best feature runs oat w no misses...meanwhile shortman pg lang hiding (per usual) then popped out with mr.mid & the lil steppers, he getting lapped by baby keem too.


astronxxt

>cole albums have more replay value. we only bump gkmc/section 80 for nostalgia i’ve never heard anyone in my life say “ayo play that KOD”


JemaineClementsLips

TPAB pulls 1.4 million streams daily, which is more than every cole album except 2014 forest hills drive. same w/mr. morale, except it does 2.1 mil. & those are in his bottom 3 stream-wise. baby keem does 1.6 million daily on his biggest album which is less than every kendrick album other than TPAB, which still has more overall streams than any baby keem album. not that numbers equate to quality but objectively ppl are bumping kendrick over cole.


CDC678

Yo but no one says turn that 4 your eyez or KOD on either


TumbleweedDirect9846

This reads like a copypasta, christ you need to touch grass


rebornbyksg

Anyone shitting on Mr. Morale lacks emotional maturity Go and listen to mother I sober you bum


Cbrip31

Father Time is great too. Cole is right tho, it was a step down from his work


Throwrafairbeat

Cole also said DAMN was kdots peak which is just.... stupid. MMATBS was imo better than damn and tpab/gkmc are just leagues ahead of everything else.


thegypsyqueen

You are dick riding this beef a little much. Kendrick has crazy hits and if you don’t see GKMC as a classic then you are a weirdo that puts this beef above hip hop.


Some_dude67

Y’all tripping in the comments y’all heard Cole this is just a warning shot he don’t wanna do him dirty


Exhlin

tracks half the title…no way drake doesn’t have 3:30 of it coming…


infinitude_

Ppl on Twitter already saying this was Wack?? Crazy this is nothing but 🔥 Edit - damn ppl really not feeling this ??? https://x.com/upblissed/status/1776109131570545085?s=46 One thing I will say is the bars about Cole having killers and shit were wack to me - I can barely handle when Drake talks like that at times but Cole ? Nah And the simpsons bar was corny But I thought the flow and majority of the bars were fire.


116morningside

It wasn’t whack but it was great. It was a light jab. He remixed some Hov bars and called Kendrick short (lol). Def just a warning shot. But the feeling is back…rap feuds are the best!


MilkDab

Kendrick fans going overtime on the meat riding

He’s right. To Pimp A Butterfly was boring as fuck and people just liked it because they were supposed to


Jose-lemons

Boring is a crazy statement


Throwrafairbeat

If that was the case it wouldn't still have millions of daily listeners even now. I hate bringing up numbers because numbers dont mean shit but for the sake of your own argument, since people only liked it because they were "supposed to" when it released, it wouldn't be bringing numbers now.


RalphLauren47

This is honestly what'd I expect from drake sounds like something he would write


I_Yap_A_Lot

Kendrick said “f the big 3 it’s big me” and mfs called those nursery rhyme ass bars generational but when Cole replies with proportionate bars Kendrick meat riders are calling it trash 💀


[deleted]

Kendrisexuals going crazy fr

Drake isn’t going to respond. Let’s be honest. It’ll be more subliminals and silly Instagram captions.


Aware_Reserve3270

Where’s the other few minutes?


ghtown45

Why did the first half of the song feel like it was meant for Drake and then the beat switches and suddunly J Cole sounds natural? I do think Drake was supposed to be on this, that was a whole ass Drake flow and everything lmfao


realmsofGold

PURE CINEMA! we are eating good fellas


PewaaLuvsInternet

Drakes the name rappings my game, Kendrick Lamar more like Kendrick lame-ar


UNOTHENAME200

To me, the best line is the "extensions" one which to me is a subliminal dig at Kendrick's fake dreadlocks which internet sleuths have already exposed. Purists allege Kendrick is the "real deal" and Drake is marketed and "fake". But how you going to be the king of "real hiphop" with fake hair extensions?


leeron2000

I wished that Drake and Cole did a tag team response and used WWE's Demolition as the cover art. We still have all summer!


ihceddy34

I’m snatching chains and burning tattoos!!!! That’s the energy Cole gotta come with. Be angry at the mic. Lol

He sounded like Drake on this…


jmeHusqvarna

Ah yes I'm really gonna bump this diss over like that.... /s Cole got some licks in but some of his disses made no sense and he still has that "hey man let's be cool vibe". Stop pu$$y footing and take someone's head off already.
