I went through the 5 stages of grief within a single second when I realised this not a recent collab. All I have ever wanted is a concept collab album with these two people, is that too much to ask for?? Apparently yes😭😭
@@DivaDenBlame him for what? He tried to keep his friendship with KDOT and he said naw. The only other thing he could have done was join him against Drake. And that is asking for to much
@@DivaDenyou're right that it's too much to ask, because they are fundamentally different artistes with regards to decision making about Hip-hop competition/choosing sides. Cole WON'T go against Drake without real beef between them. He took the blue pill while Kendrick took the red pill for life.
I’m surprised there’s no mention of how much influence OutKast had on this song. I swear Kendrick’s flow was taken straight out of Big Boi’s and Andre 3000’s playbook.
The flow, his voice and slight switch of the beat on kendricks bit sounds like section 80 sort of time which would be 2011. I got a cole world vibe with coles verses as well, which would be around the same time, so roughly 12/13 years ago I'd say.
@@torankusu3445 I believe he gave us a quick album of commercial hits to quiet the people who use “woke” as an attack and say he can’t make hits. I’m sure he will rap circles around the game in the future. Rn he’s much better because he’s getting deeper into his double and triple entendres and getting better at rapping like a producer.
This is something incredible man. I feel like I haven't been a big enough rap fan considering I missed the entire era of Kendrick and Cole coming up (was too busy being a zoomer). But count on Knox to bring the best context to everything I hear. Without the break down all I know is that the track slaps lmfao
No matter how many unreleased collars Cole releases, I can’t imagine Kendrick ever speaking to or wanting to work with him again anytime soon, if ever. Kendrick seemed to mean when he said if you can’t choose a side, he’ll choose for you.
You are like the only reactor I watch because of your breakdowns! Bar for Bar and even hidden messages and Shoutouts.. you never miss one! You are a true Gem and I admire your Love for HipHop! Keep the hard work Brother you deserve all the Love. ❤🔥👊🏼
@@latravissparrow4204are y’all dumb ? They ain’t friends at all! Being friends is when y’all see each other , talk to each other etc… go listen to whacked out murals again! Kendrick say clearly y’all fake loyal and keep political correct me I’m do what I do ! I chose side for you and F everybody! Like y’all need to start listening to Kendrick
@@latravissparrow4204not after Port Antonio. Cole made a bigger effort to leave it up with Drake than Kendrick. In fact he said nothing kind about Kendrick just accused him of botting. Cole is good and all but yall treating him like this kind guy is weird
People forget that Cole produced "HiiiPoWer" off Section 80, I feel like Kendrick's first masterpiece. OD and Kendrick Lamar EP were both great but I feel like he found his style with Section 80.
Thanks for reacting to this song been listening to this everyday since it was released on the podcast. Thanks for the breakdown as i couldn't catch all the references. Glad i found ur channel. U help to understand and admire rap more ❤❤
❤❤❤❤ Thank you, Knox Hill. In my house, we love the way you dissect the lyrics and elaborate personal history that may have led to the song being written.
I dont know why yall keep trying to put cole, drake, wayne or anyone else in the same breathe as kendrick he literally killed everyone he's been on a track with!! 🐐
Left side left side hey… right side right side hey.. so 🔥 I do remember the vid at ab-souls record store when dot played it for the ppl there. Knox you should react to Kendrick & ab-soul go back n forth on ‘Rapper shit’. One of the hardest tracks I’ve heard
Thank you for saying this. Having watched his podcast but every time I come across someone mentioning it I’m confused why does he constantly keep bringing up Dots name. Like it’s over already stand on the side you picked and be comfortable with that. Cause trust in believe Dot is completely comfortable with all his decisions 😂😂😂😂😂
Agreed. He’s wasting his time though. After his waffling in Port Antonio, Kendrick made the choice for him. And rightfully so. Drake should have kept it friendly.
Knox!! Brother, you may not realise it but you are a mentor to lot of future goats. Man its funny the guy they called a vulture was actually the one feeding grains to the culture.. Hope you always stay true to yourself no matter what
Before the beef. . I only watched reaction videos to my boy A-Reece. . But during and after, I found the best of the lot in Knox. Much love from South Africa.❤
It's actually crazy how i see every artists music in such a different perspective after watching a Knox Hill reaction, your breakdowns make my dumbass feel smart
😂😂😂 everything Knox is teaching I'm so grateful I learned this in highschool.. poetry. Learning about hip hop)rap..rap is rhythm and poetry (RAP). Literature, and learning about double entendre, metaphors, allusions, diction....hip hop/rap ties in with poetry, literature, history, current events/pop culture. Was so impressed finding out that Eminem reads dictionaries and encyclopedias. It's great to grow up within the culture and be taught about it in school...wish everyone studied poetry..understanding rap comes easy and the references etc
I didn't say Kendrick didn't put in work. It's just Kendrick was it from the beginning he already had it (talent). J.Cole however not really but he put in the work and proved that he can be as formidable talent or no talent. Cole inspires me more coz he shows that with enough dedication you can make it to the top of the game.
Cole was nice, thoughtful and had you mean mugging a bit. Dot twisted you and your face just wouldn’t stop contorting lol! Now they are close (I got Cole over Dot) but a colllab would be insane!!!
Idk about that, Cole has rapped so much better in the last 5 years than he has at any other point of his career previously. I don’t really think that Kendrick rapping better than Cole 10 years ago means he raps better than Cole today.
Cole was a average rapper came in he coukd never fuck with dot real spitters knkw this we listen je made cole go back to school stop disrepecting dot if it aint ab soul or em they only ones i seen hanh with dot nit even waye on mona lisa k dot is all the old rappers in one andre. 3000 em nas
100% Gina and Pam from Martin but more credit to you for the facts you also was able actually realize that their are two Gina and Pam's that were cute with bad bodies in the 90's is insane
Love this breakdown! We need someone to breakdown Mural from Lupe. The only person that even came close to it dropped off the earth after one part(The Lyricologist). Lol. Up for the challenge?👀
Damn man I fw you fr. I love how you breakdown these songs. Also your songs are 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Especially the diss tracks fr. The Goat. I wonder if Kendrick listen it fr
As a teenager I used to dream for Cole & Kendrick to Collab on official songs with full verses. Now that this comes in what seems Cole retiring & after the events of the beef, This feels pretty bittersweet.
Man first thanks for breaking this songs ...not only this the albums too .... I wish cole and kenny were ain't in a beef man ,we would have gotten some fire songs and albums
Overall, it was a good take. But this blog series was done in 2022. Cole isn't moving to please Kenny. He is getting reading to retire, and he is letting everything out before he exits.
Man I know see the difference between j.xole and Kendrick Lamar. Lamar is just in a league of his own ( damn head above shoulders) ( kids verses men) and it's hurts me cause I am so j. cole but truth be told Kendrick Lamar you deserve all. Major shout out to Knox hill for the knowledge and eye openings he gives us over the bars.

Cole has more synergy and compatibility with Dot in this song, then he did with Drake in first person shooter.
It’s because you can tell the are friends or we’re real friends .
Not in “evil ways” that is the best Drake/Cole collab
@@niecyxTMno it’s because y’all weirdos wanna make Kendrick a holy figure. He’s a human not God 💀
@@pretty_wingzJodeci freestyle and hit it in the morning clear, evil ways came and went tbh
Evil ways has alot of basic bars, similes, and metaphors by drake, good sounding song but the metaphors are basic..@pretty_wingz

Yes its too much to ask! He didn't enter the battle fully and still lost a bro 🤷🏽♀️ so blame ya boy

unlike certain artist
I’m surprised there’s no mention of how much influence OutKast had on this song. I swear Kendrick’s flow was taken straight out of Big Boi’s and Andre 3000’s playbook.
As shown by the recent Fabo/D4L and other Outkast shoutouts, we know this and he's spoken on it.
@@aligaines8476 yeah I’m not trying to infer what he’s said elsewhere. I’m talking about the video in front of me.
Cole’s verse does have an Andre 3000 type flow come to think of it💯
YOU READ MY MIND
LMAO EVEN J COLE was blown away by Kendrick’s verse and started singing along 😂😂😂😂
This track has major OutKast vibes. Kendrick with those Andre 3 stacks flow and delivery. 🔥👽
They are actually Aquemini.. cole being an Aquarian and Dot being a Gemini... it IS the same energy...
Kendrick is a CERTIFIED LIVE RHYME MANIMAL. It's literal insanity!
no its not, kdot prolly tired of the d riding at this point.
He’s a monsta
Why did it have to come to what it's come to? 😭 we needed this collab, man.
Rightt?? I have always wanted them to collab officially
because there's no big 3 just him
Because J Cole would rather be “loyal” than moral.
@@SnailHatanj Cole is loyal to someone who dgaf about nobody but himself drake is selfish
Drake is the individual who isn't big 3 material
The flow, his voice and slight switch of the beat on kendricks bit sounds like section 80 sort of time which would be 2011. I got a cole world vibe with coles verses as well, which would be around the same time, so roughly 12/13 years ago I'd say.

I need kendrick on this timing again
People are never satisfied..
“Can’t please everybody.”

Facts I forgot this was Cole’s song 😂
the smile on my face listening to both Cole and K Dot...😊 i love both of them... they are top 2 on my Spotify wrapped ❤
Kendrick does the hook on Coles forbidden fruit, and they are also both on the song They ready.

They'll work together eventually he did nothing to warrant eternal beef. 2 years tops before they chop it up
But he did speak to him right before the apology?
@@Alkheezyhe's talking about after Port Antonio Kendrick ain't messing with Cole no more

HOLY SNAP! I THOUGHT THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN!
The funny thing is I was watching a video about unreleased Kendrick songs and Albums
There's actually a video on YT from way back of Kendrick playing this song to a small crowd and he also knew all of Cole's lyrics :)
They’re good friends but Cole should respect and not force dot and drizzy to peace it up

And...this is how Cole got himself on Drake's OPPs list
First heard this years ago, and it's still fire. Kendrick's verse is so great. Would love for this to drop on DSPs.
Thank you for your time sir!!!!
Two of the best in the game. In the history of hip hop, like Cole said his rhymes be tip top
He's tryna get baccccccccc on Kendrick goood side😂😂😂😂😂😂

Kendrick is talent Cole is hardwork and growth. Respect to both 🔥🔥

I remember temptation back I was in high school, good times back when there was hope for a Cole and Kendrick album
No one can ever say J Cole is better than Kendrick
Cuz of this song?
On Black Friday Kendrick out rapped Cole bad 😊
FACTS!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
I can.
J cole gave kendrick the track with his verse already on it. Kenny had the advantage to top his verse.
7:51 or Westside right on time. West side Piru, flag to the right side. But yeah, it’s layered
It's time. They need to drop the beef B.S. and do a collaboration!
That intro track🔥
Do a breakdown on Black Friday by Cole and Kendrick 🔥 both rap on each others beats ‼️
He already did
Kendrick is deadly on the mic….. my goodness
You need to hear Black Friday by both!
Cole got killed on his own track
