Hip-hop commentators Adam22 and Vlad discussed the potential impact of J. Cole's apology on his legacy and their thoughts. Vlad likened the situation to other notable rap beefs where the rappers did not apologize. Vlad believed J. Cole’s apology diminished his credibility, pointing out that competition and boasting are core elements of hip-hop. Adam22 agreed, suggesting that J. Cole’s apology is distinctly un-hip-hop-like, possibly hurting his legacy. However, Adam22 speculates this could reflect J. Cole’s genuine feelings, even if controversial. Despite this, both recognized J. Cole’s significant body of work and impact as an artist. They believe the incident could result in changes to his future work if heeding their critique.
