Drake, on the other hand, has harbored a much closer bond with JAY-Z over the years. The latter has featured on four of the Toronto rapper’s albums. By comparison, he appeared on only one song for J Cole, despite the fact that Cole was signed to his label. Drake and JAY-Z have had their struggles on occasion, but it’s clear both men have respect for one another. It’s a much cleaner relationship than either man has with Kanye West, but that’s a different story. By resharing an old story in which JAY-Z ignored a call, Drake is casting doubt on how much respect Cole really gets in the industry. Especially among the acknowledged greats.
J Cole has already had it rough since the release of “First Person Shooter.” The rapper tried to fight back against Kendrick Lamar, then apologized and became a punchline. His bizarre verse on the Cash Cobain song “Grippy” didn’t help. Drake took a pretty big loss courtesy of Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” but at least he can say he didn’t back down. The Toronto rapper stayed in the ring, and earned the respect of icons like Rakim, LL Cool J and Ice Cube in the process.
