Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud has long been a major story in hip-hop, so it’s only natural that other rappers would be asked about it in their own interviews. Black Thought sat down for the “This Week in White Supremacy” podcast to talk about his upgraded self, his time on “The Tonight Show” and more.
When he was asked about J. Cole bowing out of the beef, he said he didn’t know Cole well, but it didn’t surprise him what he seemed to value. He calls it humble yet noble.
He actually told a never-before-heard story about J. Cole working with him on a collaborative album in 2018. He said the beats were like something you’d hear from The Roots and he wanted something a little more punchy, which he thinks may be why it didn’t work out. “I think I scared him away.”
See excerpts below and the full interview below.
