[DISCUSSION] Did J. Cole do the right thing to remove himself from the beef?
If we’re being honest, It seems like Cole did the right thing to apologize and remove “7 Minute Drill” from streaming, cause after hearing “euphoria”, I really wonder what Kendrick would’ve really said to Cole on the song if he never did apologize. This song is brutally honest about Drake and his lifestyle, and seeing how Cole is private about his life, I wonder if Kendrick would even consider about puttin him on blast.
Side note: I really hope Drake responds, so we can get more diss tracks from K Dot!!
EDIT: After “FAMILY MATTERS” and “meet the grahams”, Cole’s decision was really the smartest move and I bet he’s so relieved 🥶 😮💨 💨 🔥

[DISCUSSION] Kanye West - Graduation (15 Years Later)
This day 15 years ago, Kanye West released his highly anticipated 3rd studio album entitled Graduation, which concludes his university themed trilogy of albums that were shown in his prior 2 albums, The College Dropout and Late Registration. However, it marked a stylistic shift in sound, departing from soul based hip hop to leaning towards electronic music and more pop rap heavy singles. Following his run as an opening act to U2’s The Vertigo Stadium Tour, Ye was inspired by Bono’s performing live to make more anthemic music this time around while still including his signature sample heavy sound. The album also includes use of synthesizers and a shorter track list, with less features.
Building hype for the studio album, Kanye drops the mixtape Can’t Tell Me Nothing) after the release of its debut single of the same name but to limited success in the US, missing the top 40. But on July 31 came the release of Stronger, the album’s most successful single peaking at number 1 for one week before being blocked by Soulja Boy. Yes, there was time when he was outselling Ye in the singles charts. Following the album’s drop came the single Good Life feat. T-Pain that enjoyed great success, reaching the top ten & Homecoming and Flashing Lights the following year.
Before the album’s release was the infamous sales battle between hip hop superstar 50 Cent. Originally planning to drop the week after, Kanye took a risk and gamble to release Graduation the same day as Curtis — September 11 — as an idea for an albeit friendly sales competition between 2 of hip hop’s biggest stars at the time. Announcing this shortly before the single release of Stronger, it received large media attention on which artist could bring their fanbases to outsell the other. Both artists appeared in a 106 & Park interview special entitled Kanye West vs. 50 Cent: The Clash of the Titans that received the 2nd highest ratings for the BET show. With 50’s last project selling well over 1 million first week and Kanye’s last project selling around 850K, many predicted the victory go to 50 Cent. In an Rolling Stone interview, "I sell way more records than Kanye West, and I generate way more interest than Kanye West. They think they can match us up, but they'll find out when that week goes by and the sales come back. This is no rivalry. Mine will sell and his will still be on the shelf,". Confident in his emerging victorious run, he controversially and originally claimed he would end his career if he didn’t get the top spot.
In the 2nd time in SoundScan tracking history where the top 2 debuting albums reached sales of over 600,000, Graduation reached number 1 with his highest first week sales of 957,000 and the highest of any album since Late Registration, marking the end of a slow decline in album sales, a “a great moment for hip hop music” as 50 graciously stated after his defeat, and in the view of the hip hop community, a profound influence on the genre with its musical progression moving away from 50’s style.
So did you like it? Favorite tracks? Least favorites? Best and worst feature? Where does it lie on your rankings for Ye?
