Kanye West Had A Message For J. Cole On OG “What Would Meek Do?”
Did Pusha T awaken Kanye West’s combative spirit?
J. Cole – “False Prophets”
Today, a snippet of Pusha T’s Daytona track “What Would Meek Do?” has surfaced, bringing a new glimpse at a previously unreleased Kanye West verse. In the brief clip, Kanye can be heard directly addressing J. Cole and “that song,” a likely allusion to the aforementioned “False Prophets.” “You heard Cole on that song He was tryna hate,” raps Ye, before the verse cuts off, leaving us unsure as to which direction he intended to take. It’s entirely possible that Pusha’s mere presence stoked his combative spirit; lest we forget, Daytona served to herald the arrival of the notorious Drake beef. Yet it’s equally possible that Yeezy might have brushed Cole’s words off in the subsequent line, staying true to his pacifistic tendencies.
