Joe Budden Goes Off on J. Cole for "Port Antonio": 'I Hate This Soft Hip-Hop Sh*t'

Joe Budden is not a fan of J. Cole 's new single "Port Antonio," and he thinks the Dreamville captain and other rappers have become soft.

On the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast , the former rapper heavily criticized Cole's track, which saw him address the vicious feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar that he backed out of a few months ago. Budden wasn't too fond of the track as he didn't like how Cole was allegedly trying to put on a front that he didn't want to beef with anyone when his participation was a catalyst in the whole thing.

"What do you mean you finally free? That dismisses all accountability from the part that he has played in the big three debacle," said Budden. "What do you mean you finally free as if you never wanted parts of the big three conversation? That is a load of crap and I'm not going to let you n***as just piss on me and tell me it's raining. Get the fuck out of here."

He continued, "Don't pop back up and say 'If I would've I could've but then I would've lost...' N***a, no, not over 'Dead Presidents.'You ever heard 'Dead Presidents,' the n***a was holding his mans hands at the hospital bed saying 'I'm going to kill them n***as for you.' Get the fuck out of here with this soft shit. I hate this soft hip-hop shit. It's soft. Call it what it is."

Budden went on to say these "hip-hop n***as" are "feeling like hoes" and are "bitches" for the way a lot of them have been acting recently. According to Budden, rappers now are "hoes" who are catering to the feelings of other rappers they aren't really friends with. However, Budden did say Cole dished out an exceptional display of rapping on the song.

Cole dropped the track last Wednesday by surprise and it also finds him explaining why he backed out and name-dropping Drake by thanking him for everything he's done for his career.

"I pulled the plug because I seen where that was about to go, they wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow/Wouldn't have lost the battle, dog, I would've lost a bro, I would've gained a foe, and all for what?" Cole raps on the five-minute track.

He continues, "Aye Drake, you'll always be my n***a, I ain't ashamed to say you did a lot for me, my n***a/Fuck all the narratives, tapping back into your magic pen is what's imperative."
