Instead of apologizing i think Cole could have protected his energy AND let Hip Hop have this moment by acknowledging himself & Kendrick as top lyricists that have a relationship off stage. And that this is merely a Hip Hop Rainbow 🌈: a rare siting the masses can enjoy where two GOATS lyrically spar. This is Kobe vs LeBron and the crowd and onlookers should be encouraged to not let this “beef” get personal and out of hand, pointing us back to the fact that this is a positive contribution to Hip Hop we get to witness!! They are rappers, yes, but also men, fathers, husbands, and sons. They are merely exercising one aspect of themselves to the world for us to see & enjoy. Nothing more. Nothing less. Now I’m afraid J Cole will have to forever approach his pen with great pause, as he will be looked at in a strange light for awhile as a rapper. #jcole #jcoleapology #kendricklamar #kdot #rapbeef #dreamville #jermainecole #jaypitts
