    I feel like this is kind of a Jay vs Nas situation. I feel like Jay could outrap Nas since he has better flow, wordplay, double-entendres, metaphors, punchlines, etc. But he doesn't want to show it very often since he dumbs down a lot of his music for the mainstream audience. IMO Drake is the same way. Drake can rap like crazy. Take "5AM in Toronto" for example. The line "I could load every gun with bullets that fire backwards, you probably wouldn't lose a single rapper" is insane. What do you think?

    The only kendrick song on the same rapping level as 5Am is MAAD City. And I think 5am takes the cake.

    If Drake did straight up rap he’d be the undisputed

    h--- no. He can outsing him tho. Drake shows glimpses of lyricism but if you have lines like having so many chains you're called Chaining Tatum then you can't compete with Kendrick

    I'm the best rapper under 25, 24 inches on my ride
    Ball like 23 and I shot my first .22 when I was 9

    21 gun salute
    And my soldiers killed 20 of your troops at a time
    And I got about nine teens on the corner f---ing with marijuana
    Jive and heard about 18 rappers say that a bird can go for 17.5
    Motherfuck that my sweet 16's be equivalent to about 15 pie
    I was 14 when I wrote a rhyme
    All I seen was 13 ghosts every time I wrote a crazy line
    All these 12 bars in my verses, that's what Notorious and Pac arrived
    God dammit I spit just like a Mac 11 every time
    I drop jewels, you drop dimes, you pretending to be like mine
    I intend to put about 10 of you rappers on channel 9
    Straight up, f--- around and get ate up
    Cut 'em up in 7 ways, funeral carried by 6 in 5 days you'll know I go for
    Money when I sink my teeth in Carter III beats
    To you from me, my son the victory is mine, I won
    I'm the one
    The beat was the p----
    And I c-m, hard
