People value different things in rap, hence why the opinions vary so much. The ones who say Drake rapped better say it’s because of his wordplay. No Vaseline, Hit em Up, Takeover and Ether didn’t have witty type lines, and they’re amongst the best diss tracks of all time. Did Drake rap better than Cube, Pac, Jay and Nas?
Who rapped better overall, Dot or Drake?

No it’s not. You didn’t listen past Euphoria’s intro. It’s got the hardest beat out of all the diss tracks.
Kendrick supposed to be “GOAT TIER” lyrically and he got out rapped bar wise
So those rappers I named aren’t GOAT tier?

Kendrick took it pretty decisively. Creativity-wise, Drake had some decent concepts for his diss tracks, Kendrick's conceptual execution was better though which is to be expected because that's his strength.
Where Kendrick really shocked in this battle imo is with the battle wordplay. He had very little filler and his setups were consistently strong, which before this battle, the absence of which had been one of my longtime criticisms of his music. He also had punchlines for days, Drake had a lot of good punchlines as well so that was a tie imo. Kendrick definitely came correct lyrically throughout, I don't think Drake expected as strong of a showing from him at all.
That being said, I don't take Drake seriously as an artist for obvious reasons so it was Kendrick's battle to win. He did what he was supposed to do but w/ more flair than I expected
definitely gained more respect for his bars after all this.

Kendrick by a country mile. Every song is different style. Wittiness, Punchlines, Multis, Entendres, etc… Subject matter was more focused, even gave us a concept song with MTG. Flow switches all over the place, inflection and delivery was just better
Drake did good though, but other than Taylormade for the obvious reasons, the only time he really switched it up was the 2nd verse on Family Matters which is probably his best verse in the whole battle.

Drake ain't never been great at rapping.
Dude's flow has always been choppy and mechanical. He's reading the lyrics people give him, and you can hear it. When you write your own sh*t, you can also dictate the flow and add some soul to that sh*t. Dude ain't never have that. No soul, at all.
Kendrick pulled out wild flows on these tracks. Just like on his albums, dude can rap circles around most MC's. He did the same on these diss tracks again. On his projects, you might hear 10+ different flows. That's what makes Dot so dope. The energy, lyrics and cadences are always top-shelf with him.

All I’m saying people put Kendrick on a pedestal lyrically and he’s supposed to be this super complex lyricist and he had no bars
As far the beef goes
Drake bars >>>> Kendrick bars
But move the goal posts however you please
Yea I felt Kendrick treated his dissed like his albums and was a lot more creative in his approach on how he dissed drake. He was definitely showing his artistry skill set where I felt Drake was more rapper with it and alot less creative.
This is hate.
This gotta be Mal or Akademiks Coli account.
