DJ Akademiks Fires Back at J. Cole's Kendrick Lamar Diss, Questions Its Validity, and Denies Its Basis in Fact

J. Cole shook the hip-hop world once again with the surprise release of his latest album, "Might Delete Later." While fans were eager to dive into the new project, it was the final track, "7 Minute Drill," that sparked the most conversation. In this song, Cole takes aim at fellow rap titan Kendrick Lamar, dissecting his discography with pointed words for each album.

The lyrical warfare began when Kendrick delivered a verse on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That," where he seemingly took shots at Cole and Drake. Cole wasted no time in firing back, using "7 Minute Drill" as his platform to address Kendrick's remarks head-on. With lines like, "I got a phone call that said somebody was dissing," Cole dives deep into Kendrick's catalog, critiquing his evolution as an artist.
