Honestly I’m a Kdot stan but I don’t think it’s as clear cut. Yes Kendrick is a far better rapper and lyricist (who doesn’t use ghostwriters). But the Drake/Meek battle proved the best rapper doesn’t automatically win. It depends on the track, the beat, who had the most memorable lines etc. I think Kdot’s camp is far better than Meek’s, meaning they wouldn’t allow him to release a wack diss...but end of the day Drake could still win.
It would be two good disses with dope beats. Who wins? Probably the more popular rapper, Drake. I’d imagine plenty of people would say Kdot won too, especially the “real rap” crowd but when you add everyone else into the pot...nah. Sure if Kendrick straight up annihilated Drake, and Drake’s response was mid, Kdot wins. But I think both tracks would be dope.
People ignore that Drake is way more in line with what “generic rap fan” likes (music, clothes, beliefs etc) than someone like Kdot or Cole...
