Charles Hamilton Releases Diss Track Towards J. Cole
Charles Hamilton disses his previous ally in this track, claiming it was him who set up J Cole’s deal with Roc Nation, and how he used to badmouth Jay Z.
“I remember when I met you, you was dissin’ Jay / Shit bothered me anyway / It’s not that I didn’t like him, I just heard rumors / And I heard you was my junior / Throwin’ up the Roc sign / I assumed that you knew what it meant / Apparently, you didn’t / Nigga you was fishin, barely was livin’ / And I’m the one who put you in your new position / Just remember, nigga.”
He also claims that Cole didn’t write his original rhymes..
“Every residual check belongs to me / Nigga this is a check, do a song with me / And this time, write it / You ain’t the nicest, nigga I was just excited.”

Jay Z Compares Having Kids To Running Roc Nation
Jay Z spoke to MTV News in New York about becoming a father soon.
“I think running a label is a bit like having kids,” he told MTV.
He is known to let his artists take the lead, and has an off hands approach when it comes to them.
“When you know someone needs more help, you help them,” he explained. “When you see that someone can make it on their own … you see Kanye or J. Cole, you see that sort of talent — you let that talent be. You let that talent find its way.”
“Of course you’re not gonna let any harm befall it,” he added. “You pretty much let people find their way.”
“I’m just really here to provide opportunity. I’m not here to do anything else.”

Canibus Retracts J Cole Diss
I posted recently that he released a track dissing J Cole, now he has taken back what he said. I think Canibus may be slightly confused…
“I’ve seen thousands and thousands of comments about this J.Cole track and all of the negativity it’s stirring up. After 48 hours of it, I feel confident enough to say that it’s unanimous; hip hop has spoken up, loud and clear, it’s a Cole World right now and you’re a reigning champ J. [Cole]. I take full responsibility for my actions and I apologise for stepping over the line. It comes off as tacky and unsophisticated and it’s just not G. I love hip hop too much to further justify my selfish behavior. I made this video in an effort to turn around and man up for my mistake.
You said you were a fan of mine at one time; you big’d me up on many occasions; you don’t owe me nothing Cole. I was out of line for what I did and I’m sorry for creating a fiasco at a time when hip hop really needs someone like you to look up to.
You got my support; I just hope the hip hop community can get pass this quickly and go back to what satisfies them and makes them happy. I’m not a hater I just went too far and I hope hip hop can forgive me for my foolishness. I’m going to go sit my old ass down somewhere now. Happy holidays…. It’s a Cole World, kid.”

Canibus New ‘J Clone’ Track Dissing J.Cole
Canibus feels that J.Cole is not properly respecting the rapper, even though he names him as one of his influences in various interviews…
Canibus took to Facebook last weekend to explain why he had beef with J.Cole. He is offended that Cole always shouts him out in interviews as one of his favourite rapper, but only talks about his older material, and never his new stuff which he feels is not supportive.
“Cole might say he does this to pay homage, but in reality, by him playing my older material owned by my former label dating back to 1998, subsequently overlooking my current works and contributions which directly benefit me now, he is treating me less like an artist that has, and continues to contribute, influence, and inspire an even younger generation of MC’s coming up, and more like an artist that has physically passed on already(i.e. Tupac, B.I.G., Big L, Heavy D, Eyeda [sic]): you get the point I’m trying to make,” he wrote. “I can’t help but to think that he is not nearly as sincere or genuine as he would like real hip hop heads to think he is because he speaks about me like I am dead. What he is doing is underhanded and disingenuous and whether it is his idea or not, I don’t agree with his tactic and I have something to say about it.”
