On rap beef:
J Cole wrote an anti-diss track but y'all didn't like that one, huh? He opted out of this little "provoke each other until real violence happens" game that y'all are enjoying so much. He made a smart decision.

For those that don't listen to rap:
Drizzy is a nickname for Drake.
Jigga is Jay Z.
Kodak is Kodak Black.

J Cole refused to engage in the "Old rappers suck! / new generation of rappers suck!" debates. He refused to get drawn into rap battles. Instead he compliments everyone.

Screenshot of lyrics: I'm dead in the middle of two generations I'm little bro and big bro all at once Just left the lab with young 21 Savage I'm 'bout to go and meet Jigga for lunch Had a long talk with the young brother Kodak Reminded me of young brother from 'Ville Straight out the projects, no fakin', just honest I wish that he had more guidance, for real Too many brothers in cycle of jail Spending they birthdays inside of a cell We coming from a long bloodline of trauma We raised by our mamas, Lord we gotta heal We hurting our sisters, the babies as well We killing our brothers, they poisoned the well Distorted self image, we set up to fail I'ma make sure that the real gon' prevail, brother

You can't love dogs, and love dog fighting at the same time. Because dog fighting is being entertained by watching two dogs attack each other until one is dead or nearly dead.

Don't go to a dog fight, and then afterwards say, "Oh no! It's a tragedy! I didn't know that one of the dogs could die!"

Yes you did.

@mekkaokereke Question: Is it rare for rappers to come out against attacking one another like this?

@Canageek

Yes. Because it ends badly so often.

@mekkaokereke ever since I saw this bit, it has become the only way I can think of rap beef.

I feel if more people talked about it like that, diss tracks would either disappear or get really good.
