Kanye West has once again taken aim at Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, rubbishing their rapping abilities in a fiery rant.
In a livestream alongside Top5, West pulled no punches when discussing the Hip Hop duo.
He said: “I hate J. Cole. It can’t even be called music. I hate J. Cole.”
West continued: “And it’s something about both J. Cole and Kendrick that kinda, that leaves me sorta like—it reminds me of each other and shit like that. It’s just not that sauce to me.”
He also called out anyone who rated Kendrick: “Anybody that say Kendrick is one of their favorite rappers, don’t know about rap, doesn’t know about real rap.”

Kendrick has been a frequent target of West’s of late on social media.
He recently reeled off a string of posts on X saying: “I want Kendrick to always remember that JAY-Z tweet before he ever crosses the line.”
West then claimed that Lamar was copying him: “The last Kendrick album, not that [GNX] but the previous one [Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers], is like a direct copy of [The Life of] Pablo. It’s like, ‘Oh, these are the drums from this song. This is the approach to this song.’”
He has also made no secret of the fact he has no time for J. Cole’s music.
West wrote on social media earlier this year: “I hate J Cole music so much. It’s like between Kendrick and J Cole. I bet you industry plants asked J Cole to diss Drake then we would have been accosted with a J Cole Super Bowl commercial with no SZA song to save it.”
He then wrote: “No one listens to J Cole after loosing [sic] their virginity.”
Yeezy also recalled a conversation he had with Drake about the North Carolina rap star: “When I met up with Drake during Donda most of the convo was me telling him he was hurting hip hop by giving J Cole a platform and I was saying how much I loved Future.”
Neither Cole nor Kendrick have ever publicly replied to any of West’s various shots.
Ye, you hate yourself. Time to admit it.
No he doesn’t you hate yourself and your jealous of Ye. He needs to not associate with these people Drake is not good. I hope YoungBoy disses all 3 of them and after the Boosie Diss he might come after Ye.
How many rappers has young boy dissed for clout and literally all of them ignored him because they’re not going to let him or a queer like Kanye dick ride their fame to stay relevant.
So now he cool with Top5 after that Game dust up?? Clown shit.
Ye love you man but Drake sucks too. Work with YoungBoy and diss all 3 of them. Defend Wayne not Drake! Kendrick has no empathy for Wayne.
Juix – Gay Ye isn’t gonna read your weirdo comment and take your advice. Go outside and stop being a dumbass on the internet.
JCole fans are terrible but so are Drake fans and Kendrick bandwagon stans are annoying since the beef made him unlikeable. Eminem sucks too Ye same with Jay-Z, Beyonce, and 50 Cent.
And we care what you think because…..who are you again???
Gvinns is the notorious Kanye dick rider who sucks him off in every story about him. He uses multiple names on here to show how much he’s in love with ye. He has the same stalker mentality as great greg with drake
Just complain about everyone then champ
Ye going after artists that are currently on tour (Kendrick) or has an album to come out (Cole) to get catch strays, so he can be in the conversation. Occasionally, he’ll send a slug at Drake, if his name gets mentioned. Ye want all the smoke, but no one’s puffing lol.
Can’t take a man who sucks dick seriously
He wants Cole and Kendrick to diss him so bad so he can leech off their top dog status in the game. Sad to see this dusty C00N become a struggle version of 50 Cent.
Ye be careful. Nick Fuentes may be the only person Ye can trust.
Can we please stop giving this dude attention?
I wish I was Ye’s cousin. I would have let him suck me off as much as he wanted and I would return the favor. I’d eat his bootyhole too. And how about those Zionist ? Am I right
For the record guys, I am actually Ye’s cousin. Glad to finally have gotten that off my chest.
Pathetic.
Ye is truly AZZ hurt! You burned all those bridges and don’t realize it’s not them it’s you. You want everyone to go along with your nonsense and they ain’t haven it. Wearing those Klang garbage bags isn’t helping either.

Oh boy, looks like Yeezy’s ego is bigger than the Kardashians’ bank accounts combined! Who knew it was possible for someone to hate music so much they’d rather listen to a cat in heat? “It can’t even be called music”? Please, ‘Ye, that’s rich coming from the guy who makes music that sounds like a cat playing with broken glass.
And don’t even get me started on his little rant about J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar. It seems Kanye has finally perfected the art of throwing shade while simultaneously looking like a total idiot. “Industry plants” asked J. Cole to diss Drake? Give me a break, bro! You’re just mad ’cause your last album sounded like a high schooler’s MySpace page.
And what’s up with him talking about people losing their virginity and not listening to J. Cole after that? Is this guy seriously suggesting that J. Cole’s music is only for sex-starved virgins? I mean, come on! That’s just a low blow, even by Kanye standards!
I’m no fan of J. Cole or Kendrick Lamar (just kidding, I think they’re amazing), but at the end of the day, it’s clear that ‘Ye is still stuck in 2013 and can’t get over his own failures as an artist. Keep throwing those petty insults, Yeezy – we’re all ears!
Ain’t nobody including Kanye give AF enough to read that shit
A complete shell of a man
Ever since he started getting jealous of Lil Waynes rise and calling himself “Yeezy” clearly copying Lil Wayne, he lost what made him truly special and stand out. Hes denying himself and being the true backpacker that he is. Kanye is more like Talib Kweli and he hated himself for that. Thats why he wants to be politcal but he will wear the red hat to separate himself.
Kanye needs to seek help. He’s barking up the wrong tree. I cannot take him too seriously because he did give his cousin the bossilini (head).
Kanye west is a pathetic piece of trash and it’s just a matter of time before he offs himself. And honestly, who the fuck cares.
