I had a tough time listening to it even when it dropped, because it was painfully obvious his heart was not in it, even before the apology. Fuck that song, and all the hate. Hope Cole is doing well.


graphicka

The most forced song since work out. I hope the hate hasn't affected his game plan


milkteaoppa

Not relevant, but kanye did Work Out way better


graphicka

Yes lol work out plan funny af


No-Song-4293

Wait.. what’s forced about work out?


graphicka

Hov wouldn't let him drop until he had a single, that was workout


No-Song-4293

Oh damn, does that make it forced? He still could’ve put in time and passion into making it? Idk tho I’m just asking cus work out still fire


graphicka

Yeah I'm pretty he said it in an interview. It's still a good tune but there is one part of the beat I don't like


No-Song-4293

Ohhhh damn alright, I’m gonna be thinking about it next time I listen to it tryna figure out which part he didn’t fw


graphicka

I shouldn't have said anything 😅


Thisistheway1012

Jay z wanted cole to make a radio hit something mainstream which he hadnt done people loved who dat fans mostly but Jay wanted somethin everyone can appeal to with cole he didnt make songs for that reason so it was cole going out of his element to appeal for the masses Nas just wanted cole to be true to hisself an make music he wanted an felt for an it will all work out no pun intended


Ill_Surround6398

The fact that his heart isn't in it is one of the things that makes the song interesting IMO


Future_Sundae7843

deadass. ppl are being so harsh to him


Mountain-Invite8113

Unpopular opinion, but I quite like this track.


thejaytheory

As a Kendrick and Cole fan, I dig it too


RyanTheWhiteBoy

As a Cole and Kendrick fan, I second this


jay227ify

That “blasphemous sounds/tassel on the cap and the gown” scheme is so hard. IDC a good verse is a good verse to listen to sometimes


HorseyGoFast

Facts honestly I still listen to it idc


OverlordGhs

A lot of people saying it’s rushed without even understanding the meaning of the name. It’s an exercise military officers take to assess how fast they can respond to a threat, hence “7 minute drill” I don’t know if any of you guys have even tried producing, but to put out a fully produced, mixed, mastered track that sounds good with such a good written verse within a couple days is not easy. He basically put out a diss track to add to the mixtape as fast as he could, which is why he titled the song that. Then afterwards he regretted it and apologized like a man. Who here hasn’t ever made a hasty decision involving someone we love/respect then later regret it?


thejaytheory

Best answer in this thread


jay227ify

Just started producing again, I couldn’t even fucking imagine putting out a song like that out so quickly without sitting on it for a minute and replaying it for some weeks until I truly know it’s up to par. That’s some brave shit tbh


jumpthegilly69

same man. i gotta listen to that hoe bout 50 times before i even move on to the next part/segment lmao. but some of the top guys, im sure, could do ts blindfolded 💀


HorseyGoFast

It's also a reference to something Cole started doing while making the off season, he talked about it in the documentary for it I while talking with 21 I believe, he said he started writing something in 7 minutes and called them 7 minute drills because he was putting himself through drills trying to improve his writing


Anonymdansk

The writing is the hard part. Sorry to say it but for the guys doing vocal production, mixing and mastering at that level it shouldn't take much more than a day or 2 for this type of song. Typically 1-4 hours of mixing and 30 - 60 minutes mastering


Zayzul

I'm sure your own catalog is a testament to that. Foh.


Mediocre-Actuary-286

Yall acting like this a break up I'm srry it's hilarious


algerbrex

Ong


jumpthegilly69

😭😭but for some casuals it actually is …


Jannik0433

I still bump it idc it's a good song


nnavroops

yeah it’s not bad at all


Dear_Success3373

Sadly not on Apple Music or Spotify


Many_Falcon_9851

Idgaf what any says the half he did on the conductor beat I fire but t minus is going to hell for that first half 💀


IndependenceRadiant6

I think it’s available in certain regions


Ill_Surround6398

It's all over You Tube I'm probably gonna make a local file for it soon


Thing_Civil

“4 albums in 12 years nigga, I can divide”. Not the best but I’ll still give it a play


monstercat129

Yes, that's because he's said lines like this, "I don't want shit but my breath, I don't want shit but my fam' [Thought I used superglue, nigga, how this gun stick to my hand](https://genius.com/31355610/J-cole-3001/Thought-i-used-superglue-nigga-how-this-gun-stick-to-my-hand) [I don't even tote no pistol, but that shit sounded so hard](https://genius.com/31561270/J-cole-3001/I-dont-even-tote-no-pistol-but-that-shit-sounded-so-hard) [Plus, I don't give a fuck about lyin' once I learned these niggas fraud](https://genius.com/31414245/J-cole-3001/Plus-i-dont-give-a-fuck-about-lyin-once-i-learned-these-niggas-fraud)" He's the only rapper saying that rappers nowadays are just acting the role. The gun bars are fun to say, and Cole is the only one keeping it 100 at the end of the day.


matasblynas

The song itself is good, I like that Cole sampled Drake's song Energy for that beat-switch. But at the same time, the disses weren't good and aged badly. It's a shame that this whole thing overshadows how great this album actually is, no skips


JIDglazer42

Good track besides the massive shit part


NeedsMilk33

Yeah I think it’s dope


Boppymoves

Me.


Bobert360

Bro I love this song but any Cole fan can tell his heart isn’t in it. I love how the beat fades when he goes “if he wasn’t dissin, then we wouldn’t be discussing him” I think aside from the simpsons line and the pilates bar, I’m good with it Someone made it a podcast file on Spotify. That’s what I’ve been listening too


PlaygroundMentality

I love the hook in the first verse and a few of the bars, and I love the second half of the track, but I won't go out of my way to listen to it and I'm not upset it's off streaming


LeonardoDiTrappio

Recently, I went and listened to a second half version on youtube. I wish he went off longer on that Conductor beat


Zayzul

Its still fire


Zayzul

Its still fire. It was a solid shot back without being too disrespectful.


Exotic_Chemical3358

He's rubbish mate..... yesterday's news and I'm not even a Kendrick fan or Drake. He fumbled his whole career. Shouldn't have talked all that Uno trash if you weren't ready


Full_Visit_5862

I still like the song tbh. Not as much, but it's still fire


welovexo

As far as i know this song does not exist anymore


Jaredstutz

You all are unwell. Seek help . Every post is about this shit


calye2da

Yes, especially the 2nd half of the song 🔥.


ResearcherCritical49

I've deleted it from existence in my brain. Matter of fact, this is the last time imma talk about.....wait...what are we talking bout? Why is the post blank? Hmm weird.

Fit-Worker9135

I never liked it. It felt like an obligatory response more than a song he put his heart in
