Starting point is 00:00:03 Did you know when you went in and we asked you this and you've been asked but did you know when you went in just to do that verse? Honestly. That it would take and it would have this kind of impact on music. No, I didn't know until after, you know, you see the hooray and hurrah about it. The fact that hip hop hasn't been shaking up in a long time. You know, when I went in and did the verse, I thought I was just having fun. And, you know, these cats I know. You know, calling out there, we're having fun.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Right, right. These are my comrades. Yeah. So, but I see how the world took it and flipped the media. You know, I realize, okay, it has been 10, 15 years before, you know, it's been some type of shaking up in the game. Mm-hmm. Yep. What I want to say is, of course, analytic dreams video on Spotify for the video along with the audio.
Starting point is 00:00:58 As we're going to be doing some deep dives. And, of course, I have. A couple callbacks throughout this whole entire segment simply for the fact that once again, not only was I proven right and Kendrick not really wanting to smoke like that because technically Kendrick is just going at Drake. Call it Cloud Chasing. Call it whatever you want. For me, I think it's just for love, for the love.
Starting point is 00:01:33 of competition. I don't think he actually wants to get into a serious back and forth. As he literally said in his verse, he'll dismaly Mel if he had to. Because of course, there's no reason to dis Meli Mel. So I think he believes this is just for sport. Do I think he believed that Jermaine was going to jump out? Of course. Because like I said, Drake is on vacation. like i'm gonna sound like the biggest drake uh stand caping for him but literally october 6th 2023 he announced that he was going to take a break from music and then the album comes out in 2024 with the whole disc from kentrick it's kind of crazy but anyways if you want to hear the snippet of drake talking about him taking a break all the way back in October 6th of last year.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Here it is right here. I probably won't make music for a little bit. I'm going to be honest. I got some other things I need to do for some other people that I made promises to, but I probably won't make music for a little bit. I'm going to be real with you. I need to focus on my health, first and foremost, and I'll talk about that soon enough.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Nothing crazy, but just like, you know, I want people to be healthy in life. and I've been having the craziest. Yeah, so basically he gets into his stomach issues, which, you know, that's a whole other scenario, which that could take my Drake fan card in a heartbeat, because for those who know, you know, you know, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:03:15 It's like if Kylie Jenner came out, it was like, you know what, I'm just having problems with my lips. You know what I'm saying? I just really got to take care of my lips. Don't ask me how that correlates. So anyways, Germain, back to Germain, the most overrated rapper of all time.
Starting point is 00:03:31 because top three should be a very sacred position in the way that we just throw around the third spot like it's just automatically germains is blasphemous to me it's almost like people didn't listen to his music there's a lot of things that blinds people when it comes to germane and it's definitely the platinum with no feature marketing campaign. Because of course, one of the biggest things you can do is put out an album in your prime and then not have features and it will still sell.
Starting point is 00:04:13 A lot of artists could do that as far as the top positions that we're speaking of when we're talking about Tyler the Creator, Future, Kendrick, Travis Scott, Drake. That's just the name of you. But the overrated part comes in because I do not believe Jermaine is built
Starting point is 00:04:34 for what a top lyricist has to have when it comes to the longevity of back and forths because for the longest he's never been battle tested and I think that's for a reason who wants to go back and forth when you can just be kumbaya with everybody in the hip-hop game
Starting point is 00:04:54 I mean I think one time people talked about him going back and forth with Waleh or whatever, but that wasn't like a real deal. Or if it was, I didn't hear about it. Because at this point, it's like, usually the biggest hip-hop beefs usually have some type of staying power
Starting point is 00:05:13 as far as in your mentorola decks. Because people to this day still remember when Pusha-T put out story of Addidon. So the reason why I say, Jermaine is the most overrated rapper ever, is simply for that fact. that his position of being in the top three, I think should be given to a plethora of other artists.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Like if we're not going to say Future, then Travis Scott. If we're not going to say Travis Scott, then Nikki. If we're not going to say Nikki, you can switch it up and give it to Kanye. That's how long he'd been in the game. So the whole third spot going to Germain just doesn't make sense to me. Anyways, that's what I call him overrated, because usually it's rated at, y'all, you know what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Anyways, now let's turn. turn our attention to the actual bars because unlike um certain critiques i like to come at it from a standpoint of reading off what you said and then trying to get like a grasp of the whole like double triple entendre that you may be attacking it with of course the alliteration things of that nature but i don't want to bore y'all with like rap talk all i'm gonna say is this what i have highlighted once again analytic dreams video on spotify for the video along with the audio version this is why I believe Jermaine is completely overrated because who in the world is he talking to now like for real like like is there another
Starting point is 00:06:48 rapper named Kendrick that he's talking about because honestly when I first read it I was like you know technically he doesn't name drop Kendrick so he could be talking about somebody else but then of course of me being a you know studier of hip-hop It's like, now he's definitely directly talking about Kendrick. But not with these bars. I know, I know, I know for a fact, he didn't say, well, he, hey, I know he didn't say one of these bars that we're about to get into. Like, I just, when I heard, when I heard it and read it, I was like, bro, there's no way. There's no way he just said that.
Starting point is 00:07:26 But anyways, y'all going to think I'm hating, you know, I mean, obviously for a long time listeners to the podcast, y'all going to think I'm hating. But I always come at you with certain perspectives. that's based in what this man actually said. I don't just make up stuff. So anyways, let me break up this video right quick because this helps me out as far as my, y'all remember this scene right here? We're going to watch a movie right, Craig.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Let me see. Y'all remember this scene right here? This reminds me of when Jermaine was getting off to blasphemous bars in the seven-minute freestyle. Right here. Let me see if I can find this. Oh, yeah, here we go. This scene right here.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Look at me when I'm talking to you, boy. I know that ain't who I think it is. Little big brother. Getting the car, aunt. I told you leave my little brother alone, right? Jermaine was like, getting the car, Drake. But anyways, the reason that I even bring that up is because that whole, like, snippet of, let me see if I could find it.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I know that ain't who I think it is. That part right there is what I kept saying to myself. when Jermaine said these lines because which Kendrick is he talking about? That's what we got to find out. As far as the people who listen to notorious mass effect, obviously I must not be doing my job because throughout the rest of this track,
Starting point is 00:08:56 after he said that, I was like, I just completely forgot who he was talking about because I was like, oh, he can't be talking about. So it must be another Kendrick that dissed him, right? Because this man at a disc directed Torres Kendrick said you fell off, said your first expedive
Starting point is 00:09:14 is a PG podcast so you know expeditive perth the curse wasn't your first expetive was classic your last exfidiv
Starting point is 00:09:21 was tragic your second expeditive put expedives to sleep but they gassed it your third expetive was massive
Starting point is 00:09:31 and that was your prime I was trailing right behind and I just now hit mine now I'm front of of the line with a comfortable lead how ironic soon as i got it now he want to start now he wants
Starting point is 00:09:49 something with me okay okay so the thing that has me confuse because face value straight flow cadence bars everything is solid now you got to put your your dis hat critique on because that's a little different personal disses is supposed to have some truth in it that makes it hurt the most um saying that a man's discography is a part let's just say this dis is directed at kendrick lamar that is the worst angle you could ever take in life kendrick lamar's discography and having that as the focal point of your disc track like come on man like like at some point i just feel like germain just sets himself up Like, who was the A&R in the studio letting him get off these bars?
Starting point is 00:10:49 Like, if anything, you should talk about him taking breaks between music. And even that is a more solid foundation to stand on. Talking about this man's discography, talking like he only had like one ever, like one. You literally call one of his albums a classic. and then you talked about the rest of his discography like it was just trash when you're a germane co and he's kendrick lamar so very confusing to me but that's not the only thing because of course um that's not the bar that got me out of pocket this was which which one was it was one of these bars i know he said it because i just i just couldn't i was befuddled
Starting point is 00:11:36 i was like just no way it's no he he not at a germain's mouth at a germane's mouth at a germane's mouth Pause? No ditty. Anyways. Um, what was it at? So yeah, he basically said, let's see if I can find it. I think it's towards the beginning. Oh my. Okay, it was, it was in the bars I just highlighted, but it was. So this whole like little like verse right here, this is, this is not it. you said that his second album put people to sleep. I know that ain't who I think it is. He said, I was trailing right behind you and I just now hit mine.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I know that ain't who I think it is. This man, Jermaine said, Lord, don't make me have to smoke this person because I mess with him. I know that ain't who I think it is. Jermaine said, I got mixed feelings about these rap expedives. It's over for that cap. We official cap pillars. I know that ain't who I think it is.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Did Jermaine not know that we can hear this? Like, he released this to the public. This is not adequate. This is not enough. Going at Kendrick's discography, talking about how your cap pillars. Are you 21 Savage now? What happened to the conscious rep? I'm so confused.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I get confused all the time listening to Jermaine. It's just so many mixed signals. It's like going left. Okay, now we're going right. Oh, now we're in the middle. Now we're going back to left. I'm like, oh, I don't get no more. I'm just going to, like, I clock out.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Like, I swear this the man. That's the same man. Hold on. Let me make sure I got this right. Because, let's see. Because I know it's not Jermaine talking about putting people to sleep. I know the guy who made for your eyes only? There's no way.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Just no way. The guy who's talking about Kendrick Lamar's discography, there's just no way. There's just no way. This man, oh, here with this. Oh, my goodness. This is the same guy who made folding clothes. I kid you not. Y'all go listen to that track and get back to me.
Starting point is 00:14:03 As a Jermaine fan, y'all can't even defend that track. Like, come on now. Making a whole rap track about folding clothes. Like, honestly, you know, how he got this far is like, it's very remarkable. Because what type of how? How many hands do you have in your pocket or a track talking about folding clothes to gain traction? Like, Jay-Z must have had that man in a crazy 360. Like, Jay-Z was like, man, I got to push the button on this trash rapper again, only because I'm making money off of him.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Like, how many times do we have to tell you that you are not, you are audio NyQuil provider? Like, whole medical companies cannot provide as much nightquills you do in the audio format. I pray for peace, but if a person sees these positive vibes, a falcon nine inside my pocket, this rocket going to fly. I know that ain't who I think it is. I'm hesitant. I love my brother. I'm not going to lie. I'm powered up for real.
Starting point is 00:15:23 That ex parte of would feel like swatting a fly. I know that ain't who I think it is. This is Jermaine Cole talking to Kendrick Lamar. If Kendrick responds, it's literally going to be too easy. Like, I just hope that Kendrick doesn't go too personal with it. Because literally, nobody's believing Jermaine's point about your discography being mediocre. It's really sad that that's one of the parts of his verse. Because the thing about a disc track is that,
Starting point is 00:16:01 you can't leave no chinks in your armor because that's what makes the best distrax the best disc tracks like if if drake put out back to back but he wasn't able to talk about um nicky in a fashion that he was able to because he didn't have no relationships to meek mills you know high profile relationship at that time then he wouldn't have had that whole is it a world tour or your girls tour because it goes back to the history of drake and nicky push a t when he had to distract towards drake wouldn't have had hard-hitting longevity if he didn't talk about his producer 40s illness and talked about him having or hiding a child from the world hard-hitting information that nobody knew long-lasting this track who else even joe button i'm not even going
Starting point is 00:16:52 to lie to you i keep bringing up joe button because i don't think y'all realize like joe but joe button the actual hard-hitting bars when it came towards Drake. I mean, I know I said the kilogram thing like a while ago, but for those who didn't hear it, he said, I'll kill a gram without weighing the thing. One of the hardest bars I've ever heard targeted towards Drake. And not even that. That's just more of a lyrical aspect. Then he got into the personal aspect, which you have to do if you're going to address
Starting point is 00:17:21 somebody. At the end, Jermaine did say that this is just something. as a warm up you know he's basically saying i'm fully loaded but this is just a warm up so i'm not putting too much credence on it but joe button was the first to talk about or to put in a rap song drakes as a drake fan it's hard to say this but let's just say he may have had altercations made to his body allegedly Joe Budden exposed that to the world so stuff like that you have to expose something personal
Starting point is 00:18:06 like it don't have to be none like you ain't got to be like Nikki Nicky jumped out the window with hers like you ain't got to be like lying on your dad mama on your dad mama lying lying on your dad mama like you ain't got to do all that that Nikki did to make and that was that was a different level
Starting point is 00:18:20 but you know you got to get a little disrespectful with it and all throughout this track was just a lot of just just uh disclaimers like like what are you a movie this man this man put out more disclaimers than the actual uh martin scorci film whatever his name is i don't know his name um who's another director i need another one i forget the directors i don't really watch movies like that anyways the guy who uh nolan what's his name nolan the director of uh opanheimer Anyways, but, um, what I'm saying? All type of, um, disclaimers.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Like he was about to put out the most explicit, hard hitting track ever. This man said, I got a phone call. He literally put this in the chorus. I got a phone call. They say that somebody dissing. So that's in the chorus. So you know that's repeating through, that's repeated all throughout the track, right? All type of disclaimers.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Then he said again throughout the second verse, he said, I pray for peace, but if a person with positive vibes of Falcon 9 inside my pocket, this rocket going to fly, I already said that. Oh, here it is. My text flooded with the hunger for a toxic reply. You mean you wasn't already hungry? Oh, type of disclaimer. So that's what I say.
Starting point is 00:19:47 You know, Kendrick's not really phased by Jermaine's lyrical ability in the slightest, and it's simply for this track right here. He tried his best. Not even tried his best. He said it's a warning shot. but at the end of the day this is it this is all he had
Starting point is 00:20:02 it's a whole project attached to this disc and there's a reason for that he's going to use this to sell the project and the next time he responds to Kendrick is probably going to be never
Starting point is 00:20:13 because he doesn't really want it with Kendrick and if he does want it it's going to be one of those to where he's promoting the fall off in the way that Drake was promoting views when he was dissing
Starting point is 00:20:23 Meek Mill it's not going to be in a way of actually won the battle it's going to be promoting which at the end of day that's all that's what it's about right to uh the the the art of the art of competition because it's like if we didn't have these back and forths then 2023 would just well no 2024 would just be a repeat of 23 and i think we can all agree that this year by far is better than 2023 and we're only four months in so um i always love the art of course
Starting point is 00:20:57 competition and at the end of the day i just want to say to germane fans out there this is the reason why kendrick even has a leg to stand on in the first place because jermaine is the one who put him in the big three as far as the track on first person shooters and that was kendrick's whole um point in his verse and that is why when i bring up this whole entire track i'm focusing on things that's not actually true because those are going to be the things that kendrick focuses on and it's like debate is never about focusing on what he could have said that was uh has some like some uh some level of validity to it's always about targeting the thing that has the least amount of validity and then adding other things on top of that because you never want to just spend your whole verse responding to what
Starting point is 00:21:45 he said is it's like one-on-one as far as debate unless you're in like the long-form debate then you can do that but for the most part you want to debunk the thing that has the less the most of the most let's how do I say this the most falsified information you want to target that first and then add on your points at the end so they have to respond to what you're saying if you what you're saying is more hard-hitting then that's which you come with but obviously I think what Kendrick has is going to be definitely more hard-hitting so he's not going to be filling most of his verse with debunking what Jermaine said just only the discography part is just the most
Starting point is 00:22:30 landish part which is like to put in in basketball terms right playing golden state warriors in their prime two to three possessions go by where you don't score now you're down nine now they have an extra nine points off of whatever the score was already and he was already probably down double ditches and stuff like that like you can't play around with a caliber like this because you're going to end up finding yourself in the unrecoverable situation so for jermaine putting out these media mediocre bars going towards Kendrick and Kendrick already having bars that was seemingly not even that serious that don't even deserve a whole track that's another reason if you're going to make a whole track it doesn't it can't have any holes in it or else just make a don't make a whole track
Starting point is 00:23:20 just give them one verse and then that's it but to make a whole track basically going back at him it's um it's overkill and in in ironically it's going to end up you know hurting yourself because it's like you didn't have to do that much we just need you to respond not make a whole track um so the whole track aspect is it's kind of interesting because now kendrick definitely has to respond because a whole track was made about him not just a feature or verse like he did on like that but when he does he respond best believe it's going to be harder than what this was so the reason why I keep saying that is because y'all gonna know when a bona fide hit track comes out like I keep saying like but you know literally the track like that is a nice warm up shot but a real
Starting point is 00:24:17 hard hitting this track is different when you hear it and back-to-back prove that to be true story of Adidon proved that to be true Ether when that came out way back in the day Prove that to be true Hit him up prove that to be true Like a whole track made off of a diss Not just a verse Not just a old people hear me up
Starting point is 00:24:41 So I gotta say something like no That's not how you do it In the slightest which Solidifies my take That Jermaine will continue to be One of the most No not one of germane will continue to be the most overrated rapper of all time i think that was basically it
Starting point is 00:25:04 so at the end of the day this is what this reminds me of you know for my people analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio because it's fin of watch a little clip uh clip so um let me see this is this reminds me of right here you know germane thinking he it was his time to shine you know drake's on vacation kendricks taking shots at both of them so he's like You know, it's my turn. It must be me. It's all about me then, really? Like, it's, it's all in my hands?
Starting point is 00:25:32 That must mean I'm the main character. That's what is. That's what that reminds me of this video right here. Shout out to RDC World. I think it's the part where I like power up or something. I don't really feel nothing, but I'm gonna just scream anyway. All right, hold on. Let me get ridden.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Let me get ready. This is a waste of my time. Are you the sacred beast or no? Sacred beast? Nah, nobody ever told me I was dead, but I must be. I'm only one living. I'll take that title. That's a Kendrick no that's that's Jermaine think he did something with the seven-minute
Starting point is 00:26:07 A drill track thinking it was gonna have any type of hard hitting value and then you know this is this is the result of that this is supposed to happen to me this must be the part the sacred beast take over and I'm gonna crazy Jay no and then Drake come in right here this what Drake is like literally I think Drake set this man up Cause he just set that man up like it's just no other way to say it Hey for this. Wait what the fuck? Desmond. Oh my god if you hear this mean I ain't know oh my I ain't the main character I'm just another side character
Starting point is 00:26:53 I can feel it you have the sacred beast in you. Oh the embarrassment I can't believe this oh I can't I can't believe this now it's time for me to get serious let's do battle sacred beast Desmond Johnson wait where they go oh they take me back oh no oh it's a bullshit i swear bro this happened that's jermaine realizing that he's a main character in this whole uh our three arc because uh he's gonna find out real soon that that kendrick is not for play play and that that track that he sent um to bring it like a full circle moment that's why i played that clip at the beginning because just listen to how Kendrick speaks of
Starting point is 00:27:40 of Jermaine and Drake now we can't and you know I don't want to go I mean it's been already there but where their cat like how some cats was like they wasn't cool with it others got fire then people that didn't even have a name in there wanted to have their name in there you know what I'm saying where are you at with a lot of the cats now like the J-Coles of the world or Drake's of the world where are you guys at now
Starting point is 00:28:00 same place same place is all love from the moment I did the verse the after the verse you know I mean I think hip hop is is a sport are you going to have these little spits and spats? And it's all good because personally, I respect these dudes as, you know, as people. You know what I mean? So outside of that, it's really nothing. Specifically. So at the end of day, Kendrick literally said in his verse,
Starting point is 00:28:23 and I know this is an interview from nine years ago, but Kendrick said in his verse released this year that it's just rap, he would diss Meli Mel if he had to, literally prefacing his verse with that. to let you know it's nothing serious it's just for the support of rap so um yeah i don't think you'll get personal if drake responds it's definitely gonna get personal because that's the only way after push a t that that man is not coming with anything but personal attacks because he's not trying to risk another defeat at the hands of a uh uh a back and forth so for jame if that's your uh
Starting point is 00:29:04 warm-up shot then um it was it was it was it was It was decent, I guess. It was decent. I give it that because if that's not your real disc track that you have geared up towards Kendrick, and I would say it was a pretty decent warm-up shot. But going at Kendrick's discography, I think you'll learn over time. We'll end up making this seven-minute drill track seem very non-factual based. So anyways, click my link to your bio.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Let me know on one of my social media's. What do you think about Jermaine Cole putting out seven minute drill? Do you think it was better than Kendrick's verse off like that? And also, does this mean that Drake has to respond? Or does Kendrick have to respond to Jay Cole's disc first?
