Can we all recognize the nurturing workplace that is KevOnStage Studios? So many, including Josh and Mel Goolsby, have been able to stretch, learn and succeed.🙏🙏
I love how Josh keeps the "train" on the track even when everyone is involved in deep conversation LOL! Kev is all caught up in J Cole and his emotional growth 🙌 and Josh is like "yeah he sounds like he's been to therapy with our great sponsor Better Health" LOL 😅😂 Keep making that money player!
Angel just to let you know, my 6 yo LOVES you and “Mr. KevOnStage”, she seen your hair and got so excited!! “Ohhhh that’s Mrs. Angel with new hair!!” 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
J Cole did the right thing. He saw what the industry was trying to do. The industry was hoping they would go at each other, things would escalate, and these executives could make a profit. The music industry doesn’t care about Black men. Also Beefing is not an element of hip hop. Battling is an aspect of Hip Hop, but beefing is something more sinister.
I don't understand how people can say choosing not to be caught up in negativity for no good reason and being honest is not Hip Hop? I seem to recall the pioneers pushing positivity and uplift in their music.
Exactly. Bunch of weirdos who don't think pushing positivity is not a part of hip hop. You're not a true "hip hop head" if you don't know there's different levels to the genre and can't accept that its always about aggression and beefs. Love all of it or don't mess with it all. 🤷🏾♀️
I have no issue with a grown man deciding to stop lying about his emotions in his lyrics. He loves that man and felt like shit pretending he didn't. I understand that. I have felt slighted by a friend but worked to rebuild our friendship because I loved her more than that issue we had. I wouldn't do that in my 20s but in my 3s heading fast into my big 4s, I prefer love over ego
I am so late but delighted with the attention on women’s basketball. I remember watching Coach Dawn Staley back in the day. She was like Allen Iverson. She played against guys growing up. She was phenomenal on the court. 🙌🏽
I remember a long time ago Beyoncé said that she wanted to create her own genre, and folks were so critical of her aspiration...seems like she's doing it 😊
Don’t we all know Cole and Kendrick are friends?? This could have been the dopest lyrical battle. This would have put Cole and Kendrick in a different class. Cole dropped the ball
The fact Cole put daylyt and ab soul and followed them on a track already put Cole in another class if we being honest. No other rapper(kendrick included) would take that risk 😂 I remember ab soul washing kendrick on section 80. Also, people forget Control verse literally ended drakes an kendricks friendship completely. We don't know how they feel frfr.
Cole for the past *DECADE* : “I’m writing down names, I’m making a list. I’m checking it twice and I’m getting them hit.” “I studied the greats, I’m the greatest right now.” “I be staying out the way, but if beef come around. Put a M on your head, you Luigi brother now.’ “Fucking with Cole is bold, but its impeding on your health.” “Rhyming with me is the biggest mistake.” “We the big three like we started the league but lately I feel like Muhammad Ali.” “I ain't into sorta kinda, dissin' n-ggas I'm borderline addicted to slaughter” “I ain’t afraid of you n-ggas, I’ll end up fading you n-ggas.” Bro’s been begging for the smoke for *YEARS* and folded immediately before Kendrick even responded. J Cole didn’t feel bad dissing Lil’ Pump, Smokepurpp, Noname, Yachty, Uzi, or Kanye West (who was having a public meltdown btw). Ducking the lyrical fade is very anti-hip hop. We respect the dude who squabbles even if he lost as long as he held his own.
Difference is he has a long term friendship with Kendrick opposed to the other rappers he had dissed. I understand the feeling of saying something about someone close and feeling like, nah that wasn’t necessary. He knew he didn’t mean anything he said about Kendrick’s albums
I'm listening to the podcast and had to come over here to leave a comment about Josh and the ad transitions. I 👀 you sir! #smooth a Lil Kev interference on the first go round but.....😂
As a hiphop fan i want them to trade bars but also as a hip hop fan you gotta make music that you feel in your soul. If he dont feel it he can put it out. J Cole ,keep following your heart.
That’s not true Kev! If he didn’t care what people said, he wouldn’t have responded in the first place! He does care. And in the words of Kendrick, “He will be Alright”😂🤣😂🤣
I love Cowboy Carter too. From beginning to end. Love what she did through the album and adding others to the album and getting other country artists recognized.
1:06:57 A SENTIENT NEWPORT!!!😂 I cackled. Riiiight? Since Hannah Montana. A pre-teen chain smoker? Alternate universe that duet would have been Lady Gaga, but I still enjoyed it.
My issue is that Cole made it seem like he hasn't been talking about how he wanted to be competitive in rap (very recently too) and how he's better than all these other rappers, how they are not worthy to be on his albums, etc. and when the opportunity arose to prove it, he's saying that fans are blood thirsty. He created the expectation/environment so how is it fair to try to throw it back on the audience for expecting you to deliver on what you've been saying unprovoked?
The disappointing part about Jcole is that the last 3 years he has been asking for someone to test his pen and he back out . Knowing there was nothing at risk it was just rapping .
The more I listen to what Cole says the more I respect it as a man. As a rap fan it kinda sucks, but I'd honestly rather hear them make music together one day so... Business as usual I guess.
I agree J. Cole Loves Kendrick Lamar and so he’s saying I don’t get this beef and I don’t wanna be in it because this beef ON MY END isn’t real. You can’t force someone to hate someone they respect and admire. I get why Cole apologize. His mistake was responding in the first place. What we should talk about is the pressures of toxic social media.
lol the softest battle ever. i knew Cole was lying bout how he felt about k music. they friends so we knew he texted or called him before claiming those albums was classic 😂
Shoutout Dawn and the Lady Gamecocks! Not a huge fan of how Caitlin is getting most of the press even though she lost, but Caitlin is a superstar. Angel Reese is a superstar, too. Cant wait to see them both in the WNBA, Taurasi is a HATER You don't HAVE to battle to be considered one of the greats. We considered J Cole one of the greats before this and he never really battled anyone (unless you count when Noname made him admit he doesn't read). But he just spent two years doing features that have all been threats and open invitations for challengers. Then somebody challenged. Then he responded. Then he backtracked and blamed everyone else. Holding himself accountable is great, but the reason he has to hold himself accountable is bc he stepped out of character for 2 years and it caught up with him.
I think the word for rap is compete/competition. You dont have to have beef to compete. You can bar up and try to out do each other without dissing each other. Unfortunately, some folks don't get that and think it has to be all beef and disrespect to prove you're better. "Rap battles are a lot of mens reality tv." Angel said a bar with that one lmao
There is a deeper dive on this part of the segment. Humility, humbling yourself and eating humble pie will bring you to a new place of peace, love, freedom and joy! 💥 💥 🔥❤
Kendrick is really the GOAT. Man’s the only rapper to win a Pulitzer and also gave us TPAB arguably one of the greatest rap album of all time let alone this generation. There’s no debate to be had. They have college courses on the man. Cmon now. If anyone doubts, please go listen to Dissect Podcast’s breakdown, there’s really levels to this shit.
Exactly. I can’t think of one Drake album that would be dissected in a Berkeley literary theory class. And I’m a Drake fan. But bro is a pop star. And nothing wrong with that. But Kenny is that dude.
Catliyn broke the all time highest scoring record in JUST her JUNIOR year SO just imagine just how points she ADDED to that record THIS year!! Man it’s going be DECADES before someone even get CLOSE to breaking that record they goin have to change the rules when it comes to the amount of years a player can play, they goin have to allow a person to place from their freshman year through grad school even through the doctrine program for their career path basically be there for a MINIMUM of 8 years to get even close to her her scoring AVERAGE was 30+ points A GAME . That’s WILD fasho!!
Josh & Angel tag teaming that talk space ad and Kev was just oblivious 😆
The look on Kev's faaace. If ever hangdog was a word🤣🤣
The way he put his head down 😂
Mouth Wide open 😂😂😂😂
Kevin, slap the back of yo neck please!

The way I screamed "that's Angel" while watching the last episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm by myself was unbecoming but I could not help it 😆😆😆
"I DON'T KNOW ME". Track 1 by Kev, Angel and Josh
Looking forward to the Unruly Cousins album when it does eventually drop! 😂❤
Josh 📸 + Angel 👼🏾 are the DYNAMIC AD DUO!!! ✨😁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Joshy with the smooth ad intro
Cowboy Carter has had me in a chokehold since it came out. Im obsessed!
Me too! Not even a little bit of a let up
S/o to Angel 🎉
Just saw her cameo on the finale of "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
No way! I didn't get a chance to watch it yet lol. Can't wait to see her on there. Lol
where can I see this?
I wanted them to talk about it🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Which episode?
12:05 Joshy Padawan been learning from Jedi Angel. Josh with the alley oop and Angel with with the slam!!!!!

Cowboy Carter is a great album, start to finish. It’s no skips for me!
Keep this show going, never have a dull time with yall !
OK JOSHY COMIN AFTER ANGELS TRANSITION!!!! Love to see it
Cowboy Carter is a masterpiece, not embarrassed to say.
Angel is a beautiful black queen ❤👏🏾👏🏾
Josh learning those transitions from the best!!
The J.Cole conversation was great‼️
Yes! We created Country 😊! And the banjo was created by us! It's a variant of an African instrument called the akonting 💜👑
That Talk Space ad segue was masterful 😂
"Kevin, hush!" Angel was tryna get to that talkspace ad LMAO
One thing about Angel, she gon' do her hair and makeup ON camera.
Consistently! 🤣😂
@29:30 that Wire analogy is top tier! 🙌🏾
Great point & one of my many fav moments in a great show.

J said, peace over profit. And that's grown.
Super grown❤
Kendrick Lamar went to 5 years of therapy and still chose violence. J Cole didn't sleep for two days and apologized
J. Cole aint been sleeping since he apologized either so that backfired 😂
This is just...ugh
I love how Josh slid in that first talk space ad. 😂😂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 good job Josh.
Don’t we all know Cole and Kendrick are friends?? This could have been the dopest lyrical battle. This would have put Cole and Kendrick in a different class. Cole dropped the ball
Yeah, that's why i personally had no interest in it to begin with. They was on the phone together the day "Like That" dropped keekeein.
It would have been cool to see peak peak lyricims stacked up agaosnt each other.
No one was expecting bloodshed or violence from this.
@@NotoriousSSVnot sure if thts 100% true. I think thts a rumor.
The fact Cole put daylyt and ab soul and followed them on a track already put Cole in another class if we being honest. No other rapper(kendrick included) would take that risk 😂
I remember ab soul washing kendrick on section 80.
Also, people forget Control verse literally ended drakes an kendricks friendship completely. We don't know how they feel frfr.
Cole for the past *DECADE* :
“I’m writing down names, I’m making a list. I’m checking it twice and I’m getting them hit.”
“I studied the greats, I’m the greatest right now.”
“I be staying out the way, but if beef come around. Put a M on your head, you Luigi brother now.’
“Fucking with Cole is bold, but its impeding on your health.”
“Rhyming with me is the biggest mistake.”
“We the big three like we started the league but lately I feel like Muhammad Ali.”
“I ain't into sorta kinda, dissin' n-ggas I'm borderline addicted to slaughter”
“I ain’t afraid of you n-ggas, I’ll end up fading you n-ggas.”
Bro’s been begging for the smoke for *YEARS* and folded immediately before Kendrick even responded. J Cole didn’t feel bad dissing Lil’ Pump, Smokepurpp, Noname, Yachty, Uzi, or Kanye West (who was having a public meltdown btw). Ducking the lyrical fade is very anti-hip hop. We respect the dude who squabbles even if he lost as long as he held his own.
Agreed.
LOUDER FOR THE SELF LOVE HOLISTIC HEALTH GURUS IN THE BACK. TalkSpace/Better Help shills gonna hate lol.
Difference is he has a long term friendship with Kendrick opposed to the other rappers he had dissed. I understand the feeling of saying something about someone close and feeling like, nah that wasn’t necessary. He knew he didn’t mean anything he said about Kendrick’s albums
Needed this today! Love y’all
There’s a lot of Kendrick shade in this episode. I’ll be sure to share this with Kenny, YALL NEXT 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This podcast is over when Kenny gets to the booth! FINISHED!!!! 😤
They actually showing him love tho
“This your man?? You getting clapped up wit ‘em. Both of y’all.”
“Yall next” is HILARIOUS!
Angel’s hair is so cuteeee
Maybe instead of Beef, it should be considered the All Star dunk contest or three-point shoot out of Rap?
Sentient Newport has to go in the HOF of Kev jokes I swear

1:08:34 I was definitely saying... "Post Malone... imma need you to have country in yo bag now because that song did it for me"
Angel I loved seeing you on the last episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
👏🏾👏🏾Josh, well done. These segue into the ads. Angel, you have taught him well!
Angel And Kid Fury always have to defend their sports expertise
My issue is that Cole made it seem like he hasn't been talking about how he wanted to be competitive in rap (very recently too) and how he's better than all these other rappers, how they are not worthy to be on his albums, etc. and when the opportunity arose to prove it, he's saying that fans are blood thirsty. He created the expectation/environment so how is it fair to try to throw it back on the audience for expecting you to deliver on what you've been saying unprovoked?
Exactly... He's been on fire lately. And now he's trying to quench it.😢😢
The disappointing part about Jcole is that the last 3 years he has been asking for someone to test his pen and he back out . Knowing there was nothing at risk it was just rapping .
He’s mentally weak
I think he was just rapping and didn’t really want to have to diss his friend
He doesn’t really deliver when it’s time.
The more I listen to what Cole says the more I respect it as a man. As a rap fan it kinda sucks, but I'd honestly rather hear them make music together one day so... Business as usual I guess.
Thank you for pointing out Shania and Keith Urban. I was just saying this. 👏🏼
I’m still laughing at us in DC trying our best to do the intro 😭😩 we got that outro on lock though ‼️😆
You look so good Angel! Love the hair and makeup.
