\t\t\t\t\t7 Best Moments of Dreamville Fest 2025: J. Cole\u2019s Memory Lane, Erykah Badu, Hot Boys Reunion\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tCole saluted the embattled rapper ahead of performing \u201cWork Out,\u201d<\/a> which samples Yeezy\u2019s \u201cThe New Workout Plan\u201d off his acclaimed The College Dropout <\/em>2004 debut album.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI know n\u2014-s feel a way about him right now, but I got love for [Ye] and I really appreciate him. He cleared all these f\u2014ing samples for me,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\n\tCole explained that even though he\u2019s heard West\u2019s track hundreds of times, this one was different as the song played from his laptop on the hotel room bed while he was in the bathroom. \u201cI heard it differently that day,\u201d he added. \u201cI ran back to the other room. It\u2019s like it spoke to me.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Dreamville boss explained that the label was looking for a \u201chit record,\u201d which had him stressed, but ended up leading to \u201cWork Out.\u201d The track arrived in June 2011 and served as the lead single of his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWork Out\u201d gave Cole his first top 40 hit as the multiplatinum smash reached No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 <\/a>and topped the Rhythmic Airplay<\/a> chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier in April, Ye went on another explosive X rant during which took aim at Cole<\/a>. \u201cI hate J Cole music so much,\u201d the \u201cStronger\u201d rapper said matter of factly. \u201cIt\u2019s like between Kendrick and J Cole I bet you industry plants asked J Cole to diss Drake then we would have been accosted with a J Cole Super Bowl commercial with no SZA song to save it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWest \u2014 who has faced renewed criticism over his continued hate speech<\/a> \u2014 claimed Cole\u2019s music was strictly for virgins<\/a>, and Drake<\/a> giving him a platform was \u201churting hip-hop.\u201d He wrote in part: \u201cWhen I met up with Drake during Donda most of the convo was me telling him he was hurting hip hop by giving J Cole a platform and I was saying how much I loved Future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYe dissed Cole last year on the \u201cLike That\u201d remix.<\/a> \u201cPlay J.Cole get the p\u2014y dry,\u201d he raps. The pair of rap titans have a checkered past, as Cole jabbed at West on tracks such as 2016\u2019s \u201cFalse Prophets\u201d and 2019\u2019s \u201cMiddle Child.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
