J. Cole Claps Back At Kendrick Lamar In New Album

Kendrick Lamar

When Future and Metro Boomin released their collaborative album 'We Don't Trust You' last month, it sparked a wave of excitement among fans. The standout moment came with Kendrick Lamar's guest verse on the track 'Like That,' where he took aim at Drake and J. Cole for including him in the 'big three' category on their previous collaboration 'First Person Shooter.'

Drake and J. Cole wasted no time in responding to Lamar's diss. Drake addressed the situation vaguely during his current tour, while J. Cole took a more direct approach by dropping his surprise project 'Might Delete Later.' On the final track '7 Minute Drill,' J. Cole directly addressed Lamar's diss, calling out the Compton rapper's career trajectory and lyrical output.

Lamar's initial gripe stemmed from J. Cole's lyrics that positioned them as part of the 'big three' alongside Drake. In his response on 'Like That,' Lamar dismissed the notion of a 'big three' and asserted his individual greatness in the rap game.

As tensions between the artists continue to simmer, fans eagerly await further developments in this rap feud. J. Cole's 'Might Delete Later' project, featuring collaborations with artists like Ari Lennox, Gucci Mane, and Cam'Ron, has added fuel to the fire.

While the back-and-forth between Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and J. Cole unfolds, it's clear that each artist is determined to assert their place in the hip-hop landscape. With fans closely following every move and lyric, the stakes are high in this ongoing saga of rap rivalry.
