7 Minute Drill

"7 Minute Drill" is a diss track written and recorded by the American rapper J. Cole for his fourth mixtape, Might Delete Later (2024). It was his response to fellow American rapper Kendrick Lamar's diss verse on his single "Like That" (with American rapper Future and producer Metro Boomin). Produced by T-Minus, Conductor Williams, Al Hug and Elyas, the track was titled after and taken from one of Cole's seven-minute songwriting drills with the former producer.

Two days after the song was released, Cole retracted his diss and issued a public apology to Lamar. He sought to stay out of the Drake–Kendrick Lamar feud that was rapidly emerging more than a decade after it began. Five days later, Cole pulled the song from music streaming services. Then, on August 19, 2024, the song re-appeared on his album, four months after Cole pulled the song from streaming services.

"7 Minute Drill" debuted at number six on the Billboard Hot 100, but immediately following its removal from streaming platforms it fell off the chart. Critics were polarized by "7 Minute Drill", as they felt that it was a restrained and subpar response to Lamar's verse. Cole bowing out further divided critics; some were disappointed and believed that it left a stain on his reputation, while others commended him for prioritizing his mental health over competition.
