J. Cole Takes Aim At Future On Surprise EP ‘Might Delete Later’
J. Cole takes aim at Future on a new song off of his surprise EP Might Delete Later.
“Yes, sir, it’s me, not two, not three/ The uno, G-O-A-T, I need my fee, f— kudos/ G4 at least, these flights ain’t cheap as you know/ They sound faded, they downgraded, they Pluto/ I’m bigger than Mars, this n—- a star, I’m Bruno,” he raps on “Crocodile Tearz.”
“Pluto” plays two roles in the line. It is part of Cole’s rapping about the solar system, but Pluto is also a nickname for Future. It derives from his debut studio album. It wouldn’t be far-fetched for Cole to come for Future, as he seemingly came for Drake on his latest album, We Don’t Trust You.
“Fake written all over you/Hate written all over you,” Future raps in the intro to the title track.
“You a n—- number one fan, dog/Sneak dissin’, I don’t understand, dog/Pillow talkin’, actin’ like a fed, dog/I don’t need another fake friend, dog/Can’t be ’bout a h-, ’cause we sharin’, dog/In you feelings, n—-, why you playin’, dog?” Future raps in the second verse.
Fans believe Future’s bar was a response to Drake’s “What Would Pluto Do” from For All The Dogs.
“What would Pluto do?/He’d f— a h-/So did it (Yeah, yeah),” Drake rapped on “What Would Pluto Do.”
J. Cole Responds To Kendrick Lamar On “7 Minute Drill”
Future wasn’t the only one that was targeted on Might Delete Later. He also responded to Kendrick’s diss on “Like That.”
“Yeah, get up with me, f— sneak dissing/’First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches,” Kendrick raps.
He adds, leaving no room for confusion: “Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/Motherf— the Big 3, n—-, it’s just big me.”
“N—-a, bum, what? I’m really like that/And your best work is a light pack/N—-, Prince outlived Mike Jack’/N—-, bum, ‘fore all your dogs gettin’ buried/That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary n—-, bum,” he raps.
Cole responded to Kendrick on “7 Minute Drill.”
“Your first s— was classic, your last s— was tragic/ Your second s— put n—– to sleep, but they gassed it/ Your third s— was massive and that was your prime/ I was trailin’ right behind and I just now hit mine.”
“One was nah, the other was Illmatic/That’s a one hot album every ten year average,” Jay rapped on “Takeover” which he used to diss Nas.
Cole continues: “Now I’m front of the line with a comfortable lead/ How ironic, soon as I got it, now he want somethin’ with me/ Well, he caught me at the perfect time, jump up and see.”
“He averagin’ one hard verse like every 30 months or somethin’/ If he wasn’t dissin’, then we wouldn’t be discussin’ him,” he raps.

He adds inspiration from another line of “Takeover” with: “Four albums in 12 years, n—-, I can divide/ S—, if this is what you want, I’m indulgin’ in violence.”
Jay rapped: “Four albums in ten years, n—-? I could divide/That’s one every, let’s say two, two of them s—- was doo.”
“Lord, don’t make me have to smoke this n—- ’cause I f— with him/ But push come to shove, on this mic, I will humble him/ I’m Nino with this thing, this that ‘New Jack City’ meme/ Yeah, I’m aimin’ at Gee Money, cryin’ tears before I bust at him,” Cole raps referencing the film New Jack City.
“My text flooded with the hunger for a toxic reply/ I’m hesitant, I love my brother, but I’m not gonna lie/ I’m powered up for real, that s— would feel like swattin’ a fly.”
