Eminem vs. J. Cole Beef, Royce Da 5'9" Supports 'Fire Squad' Diss? Ignores Tyler The Creator's Twitter Rant, Praises Passionate 'Shady XV' Rapper [WATCH]

J Cole's hard-hitting new single "Fire Squad" is NOT a diss track - at least not according to Shady Records hypeman, Royce Da 5'9".

Fans shouldn't blow things so out-of-proportion. Infamous Detroit emcee Eminem probably doesn't even care!

Check it out... Cole raps:

History repeats itself and that's just how it goes
Same way that these rappers always bite each others flows
Same thing that my n*gga Elvis did with Rock n Roll
Justin Timberlake, Eminem, and then Macklemore
While silly n*ggas argue over who gone snatch the crown
Look around my n*gga white people have snatched the sound

Some loyal "Stans" took the above lines personally:

But not the Bad Meets Evil rapper!

In a recent interview with VladTV, the former Slaughterhouse hip-hopper explains:

It got blown out of proportion before I could hear the record," Royce told Vlad TV. "You know what I mean? The fire-fuelers got a hold of it before I could actually hear it. So by the time I heard it, I actually read the line and Tweeted about it before I even heard the song. It sounded to me like an observation, an observation of an artist being vocal with something he's observing. He may not have used the best words.

I haven't spoke to Marshall about the song at all... If there was to be some offense taken, I could see why. Did I listen to it and get offended by it? No. Also, did I feel like he was trying to diss my guy? Absolutely not. If there was some offense taken or if there's anything that leaves any kind of question or doubt as to what whether he meant something by it, then maybe an apology may be in order. But that's not for me to decide.

As for Tyler The Creator's recent Twitter rant against Em's latest project, Shady XV...

I don't really have much of a take on it... What can you say? He said his opinion. It's the kid's opinion and what am I gonna do? Get mad at him? We're living in that era now, man. That's like I go over to a girl house that I'm trying to smash and her little kid [or] little baby brother is in there and he's like, 'You smell like marijuana!' And everybody laugh because it's the little kid and he's saying something crazy. And everybody cares because it's the little kid with the voice. That's kind of how it is, man. I don't care, man. What am I gon' do about that?

Em will probably never find out about that... That's the thing about it. These people use their platform to say certain things and to do certain things. We're living in a society today, in hip-hop, where it's very, very easy for artists to throw stones and hide their hands. There's a lot of different avenues for them to do that. You can hide behind the various media outlets and stuff. You know where people dwell, you know who's gonna hear about it [and] who's not gon' hear about it. It's that type of thing.

Still, no one can mess with the Real Slim Shady:

Whatever your favorite [Eminem] music is, be it 'Relapse,' 'The Marshall Mathers LP,' 'The Eminem Show,' the same amount of time he spent on that music, and the same amount of passion and effort and how dear to his heart he holds that music, he holds 'Shady XV'... He worked just as hard on 'Shady XV.' [If] you talk about one body of work, you may as well be talking about the rest of the sh*t.
