Does J. Cole Respond to Lil Pump on “1985 (Intro to “The Fall Off”)”?

—blogged by @lovelikejhoney

“Gucci Gang” rapper, #LilPump, is a part of the new generation of hip-hop artists following a trend of flashy jewelry and songs praising Xanax, Percocet, cocaine, lean, and other narcotics. In the past the SoundCloud rapper has openly dissed the Dreamville rapper and emcee, #JCole, even saying “f*ck all that lyrical sh*t.”

Rather than taking a more directive approach to the teenage rapper, Cole politely educated him and other upcoming artists on how to succeed in the rap game.

The lyrics in question go as follows:

I heard one of em’ diss me, I’m surprised

I ain’t trippin’, listen good to my reply

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Come here lil’ man, let me talk with ya’

See if I can paint for you the large picture

Congrats ’cause you made it out your mama’s house

I hope you make enough to buy your mom a house

I see your watch icy and your whip foreign

I got some good advice, never quit tourin’

‘Cause that’s the way we eat here in this rap game

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’m f-ckin’ with your funky lil’ rap name…

I must say, by your songs I’m unimpressed, hey

But I love to see a black man get paid

And plus, you havin’ fun and I respect that

But have you ever thought about your impact?

These white kids love that you don’t give a f-ck

‘Cause that’s exactly what’s expected when your skin black

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

They wanna see you dab, they wanna see you pop a pill

They wanna see you tatted from your face to your heels

And somewhere deep down, f-ck it, I gotta keep it real

They wanna be black and think your song is how it feels…

I’m just tellin’ you what’s probably gon’ happen when you rappin’

‘Bout the type of sh-t you rappin’ ’bout

It’s a faster route to the bottom

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I wish you good luck

I’m hoping for your sake that you ain’t dumb as you look

But if it’s really true what people sayin’

And you call yourself playin’ with my name

Then I really know you f-cked, trust

I’ll be around forever ’cause my skills is tip-top

To any amateur n-ggas that wanna get rocked

Just remember what I told you when your sh-t flop

In five years you gon’ be on Love & Hip-Hop, n-gga

What are your thoughts?
