Suge Knight Praises Kendrick and Shames J. Cole After Short Rap Beef

Suge Knight couldn’t be more disappointed J. Cole waive the white flag Kendrick Lamar — responding to the brief live recording from his prison cell… and we have the recording.

TMZ Hip Hop has obtained audio from Breakbeat Media’s “Collect Call” podcast of Suge’s response to Cole’s forfeit to Kendrick at his Dreamville Festival this weekend … and he has more of a coronation for Kendrick and a hard lecture for Cole.

Suge tells Cole that he has to do that to be the best defeat the best and punched Cole for throwing in the towel; he said that if African Americans in general shared his attitudes, they would still be enslaved.

A low blow on Suge’s part, no doubt… but Cole isn’t above use slave metaphors himself.

Anyway, says Suge Cole’s behavior reminds him Diddy‘s alleged activities during the infamous Source Awards of 1995 – when the Death Row and Bad Boy Records camps exchanged words. Just listen… you’ll hear the comparison SK makes about this.

As for Kendrick, Suge feels like he’s fully adopted their shared hometown of Compton and West Coast Hip Hop culture… and promised to listen to 2Pac‘s “All Eyez On Me” to fuel his workouts for the rest of the week.

Kendrick’s shots to Drake and Cole further Future And Metro Boomin‘Like That’ hit has paid off with a third straight week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 … while Cole plans to remove his ‘7 Mile Drill’ diss from streaming.

Charlemagne is God released his “Donkey Of The Day” to everyone who was mad at Cole for backing down on Kendrick after so much build-up… but Suge isn’t taking it so easy with JC – he calls him a wuss for backing down so quickly withdrew.
