AceShowbiz - On Friday, December 2, J. Cole released new documentary "Eyez" exclusively on TIDAL. In the 40-minute documentary, the Fayetteville rapper previews some tracks off his forthcoming album, "4 Your Eyez Only". One of the featured tracks is "False Prophet", on which he seemingly disses his fellow rappers.
Although he doesn't mention anyone by name on the track, some fans are speculating that he's rapping about a few rappers, including Kanye West, Drake and Wale. "There was a time when this ni**a was my hero, maybe," raps Cole as he appears to take shot at West. In the past, Cole said in a tweet that West was one of his inspirations.
Another verse alludes to rappers who use ghostwriters throughout their career. "But come to find out, these ni**as don't even write they s**t/ Hear some new style bubblin' up, then they bite the s**t," raps Cole as he apparently disses West and Drake, who have been accused of using ghostwriters and stealing music.
The "Power Trip" rapper then appears to attack Wale, who had feud with Meek Mill after the 29-year-old rapper attempted to kick him off the label, MMG. Cole raps, "And I know he so bitter he can't see his own blessings/ Goddamn, ni**a, you too blind to see you got fans, ni**a/ And a platform to make a classic rap song/ To change a ni**a life, but you too anxious living life."
In this track, the 31-year-old spitter also raps about his life in the past few years. He raps about his highest moments, "My highest moments come from tellin' all the saddest stories/ I've seen in my life, I be fiendin' to write/ Songs that raise the hair on my arms." He continues, "My lowest moments came from tryin' too hard/ To impress some ni**as that couldn't care if I'm on."
J. Cole's forthcoming album is set for release on December 9. This album serves as the follow-up to his double-platinum album "2014 Forest Hills Drive", which was released on December 9, 2014.
