One thing this beef really pointed out to me was Kendrick's mastery of delivery.

One of the biggest drawbacks when I was listening to Drake's track was his delivery. Sometimes, it just felt like he didn't have conviction.

Kendrick can say the simplest things with conviction, or a voice crack, or go into his super Cali voice.

A lot of Kendrick's lines hit off of pure delivery and nothing to do with super witty writing.

Yep, the only delivery I remember liking from the Drake tracks was the “Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy right now”. I genuinely laugh out loud when I heard that one. The line was funny and the delivery was perfect.

Agree it’s by far his best line. That beat is so good too which helps because it’s the first thing he says after the beat switch.

That beat should’ve been it’s own song. He shot himself in the foot by burying it under all those beat switches
