J. Cole released a new song titled Port Antonio via YouTube. In this episode of NFR podcast, Luca & Anthony spoke about their first thoughts on J. Cole’s new song and how he addressed Drake & Kendrick Lamar. The song is divided into two parts: the first verse reflects on Cole’s past, while the second verse directly addresses the feud. Cole explains why he “pulled the plug” on his involvement in the feud, saying he didn’t want to lose a friend or gain an enemy. He criticizes the current climate of rap battles, which he feels are negatively influenced by social media and internet politics.
Cole affirms his rapping abilities, stating he “wouldn’t have lost a battle” but chose not to engage further. He expresses understanding for both Drake and Kendrick positions in the feud. Cole encourages Drake to “tap back into that magic pen” and focus on making quality music rather than engaging in beef.
The crew praise Cole’s lyricism and his approach to addressing the situation.
They speculate this might be Cole’s final word on the matter, allowing him to move forward with his upcoming album “The Fall Off” without it being overshadowed by the feud. The discussion ends with anticipation for future releases from J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake, hoping for a return to focused, quality music from all three artists.
