Roc Nation recording artist J. Cole just released his third studio album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive. Instead of talking about the quality of the project some have focused a perceived Eminem diss on the song "Firing Squad."
“History repeats itself and that’s just how it goes / Same way that these rappers always bite each other’s flows / Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with rock ‘n’ roll / Justin Timberlake, Eminem, and then Macklemore,” raps Cole.
Cole clarified what he meant in a new interview with Power 105.1's Angie Martinez.
“It’s silly how big of an Eminem fan I am,” said Cole. “It was a very select group of top notch people that I worship and Eminem was literally at the top of that list. My first song sounded like an Eminem bite. If you think I’m dissing Eminem, I know you just read the headline, or you’re listening to the song with the headline in mind.”
The Fayetteville, North Carolina also named his top five MC's list.
"I can tell you one right now. It probably changes all the time," he said. "2Pac off the top. Nas, Big, Jay. And then that slot right there is like Eminem, Andre 3000, know what I mean? I wanna say [André] so bad, but Eminem is like solo dolo. Andre’s incredible, but he’ll tell you himself, he was in a duo so his workload was a little less, but creatively he’s miles beyond."
