He dropped the ball


Doesn’t matter if Drake wasn’t good enough what matters optics wise was him going song for song with Kendrick.. folks would’ve said Aubrey no slouch

Everyone before the battle popped off said Kenny is lyrically superior than Drake… however Drake makes better songs than Kenny.. This has always been the case
Maybe you could say Drake makes better hits, but Kendrick has always been more critically acclaimed than Drake. People also didn't know how Kendrick would fare in a battle and thought Drake might get him because we've seen Drake did his thing in previous battles.

Don’t lyrically and songwriter go hand in hand? So what are we talking about here? Drake still makes better songs
Nop.
Lyrics = lyricism

Songwriting = song structure, melodies, rythms, sonical experience, etc.
Kendrick has always been considered as one of the best artists AND musicians. Drake never got that consideration, because you know, his music was never elite.

Both them nikkas been subbing each other for over a decade.. ok we play the semantics, Drake makes better hit songs than Kenny is his a fact… Kenny is a better lyrically than Drake.. this was never a debate

Hit songs = music quality.

Kendrick rarely tries to make a hit song, when he does it, we see what it does, it outperforms Drake.
