Did J. Cole Make Dr. Dre Aware of Kendrick Lamar?

In an interview with Nardwuar J. Cole revealed that he told Dr. Dre about Kendrick Lamar, prior to Lamar's discovery. After a long pause Cole replied, "Who told you that? Who gave you that piece of information?" And finally, "yes I did."

Last Month Cole famously stepped away from a potential war of words between himself and Kendrick Lamar. "It's one part of that shit that makes me feel like it's the lamest shit I ever did in my fuckin' life, " he said of a retracted Kendrick Lamar diss. "Y'all heard that bazooka that was dropped on the game two or three weeks ago. [My dudes] are like 'What you gonna do Cole?'"

Cole continued to say that the world wanted to see blood, but he spiritually felt bad. "I tried to jab [Kendrick] back, but that shit don't sit right with my spirit. It disrupts my peace," he said before asking the crowd if they thought Kendrick was one of the best MC's ever. Drake

Drake and Kendrick Lamar traded diss tracks over the last week that amassed millions of hits on their respective YouTube channels, and accused each other of spousal abuse, hidden children and pedophilia. Check out the Nardwuar interview above.
