J. Cole, at Dreamville Festival, Calls Kendrick Lamar Diss Track “the Lamest Shit I Ever Did in My Fucking Life”

J.
Cole
headlined
his
annual

Dreamville
Festival
last
night
(April
7)
at
Dorothea
Dix
Park.
The
performance
happened
just
days
after
Cole
dissed
Kendrick
Lamar
on
the
new
song
“7
Minute
Drill,”
and
Cole
took
time
during
his
set
to
address
the
track,
explaining
that
he
felt
conflicted
about
making
and
releasing
it.

Cole
began
his
speech
by
saying
how
proud
he
felt
about
the
project
that
“7
Minute
Drill”
closes,

“I’m
so
proud
of
that
project,
except
for
one
part,”
the
rapper

said.
“It’s
one
part
of
that
shit
that
make
me
feel
like,
man,
that’s
the
lamest
shit
I
ever
did
in
my
fucking
life,
right?”

Cole
went
on
to
refer
to
Kendrick
Lamar’s
“Like
That”—the
song
that
ignited
the
artists’
recent
feud—as
“that
bazooka
that
was
dropped
on
the
motherfuckin’
game,”
and
said
he
felt
a
great
deal
of
pressure
to
respond
to
Lamar.
“I
was
conflicted
because,
one,
I
know
my
heart—you
know
what
I
mean?—and,
like,
I
know
how
I
feel
about
my
peers,
these
two
n****s
that
I
just
been
blessed
to
even
stand
beside
in
this
game
[Drake
and
Kendrick
Lamar],
let
alone

chase,
chase
they
greatness,
right?
So,
I
felt
conflicted
’cause
I’m
like,

bruh,

I
know
I
don’t
really
feel
no
way.
But
the
world
wanna
see

blood!”

J.
Cole
continued,
“I
moved
in
a
way
that
I
feel,
spiritually
feel
bad
on
it.”
He
also
said
he
was
trying
to
be
competitive
and
“friendly”
with
“7
Minute
Drill,”
but
that,
ultimately,
the
final
song
“don’t
sit
right
with
my
spirit.”

After
explaining
himself,
Cole
had
a
pair
of
questions
for
the
Raleigh,
North
Carolina,
crowd:
“How
many
people
think
Kendrick
Lamar
is
one
of
the
greatest
motherfuckers
to
ever
touch
a
fuckin’
microphone?
Dreamville,
y’all
love
Kendrick
Lamar,
correct?”
He
gave
his
own
answer,
too:
“As
do
I.”
