Rakim and Cole born on the same day aka like the great Rakim when I make my notes….. it’s a larger play on him being the goat like previous goats

Because there was no diss.

Kendrick did Control.

Cole responded in full with forest hills drive. Also GOMD last verse "when I'm in LA I'm the best in the west you contests I'll stretch niggas out".

Drake with NWTS.

Kendrick came back again when he dropped TPAB particularly with King Kunta

"I don't wanna see you monkey mouth mothherfuckas sitting in my throne again". Acknowledging oh shit damn they came in hot and they on top rn.

Atleast from Cole and Kendrick side it was pure competitiveness.

Which is why we still got black friday they were competitive on that. Moreso Kendrick Cole was vibing. Then Kendrick Brought out Cole during the DAMN tour.

Because it's rap, competition ≠ beef, everyone responded dropping their own projects. Plus he explains it in Note to Self. Nowadays if you say "I feel like Muhammad Ali" people say it's a sneak diss lol.

On Kendrick’s Wacced Out Murals, when he said “show em you a god even when they say you ain’t’”, is that not a reference to the Cole verse on Jan28?

I highly doubt it.. there’s a whole “god Mind” thing where we need to start acknowledging that we are all god..
