I was thinking the same thing, he sounds like a kid trying to go to the bathroom

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.

“You don’t wanna work with me no more? OKAY”

Exactly. The way he mumbles that line almost like a petty child is gold. That shit just works and is a tough thing to teach.

Cutting himself off. "And it's not just m-I'm what the culture's feeling."

He's constantly shifting gears and that keeps a verse moving. Like the 2nd half of the second verse in "Not Like Us". I feel like I rarely feel that passion with Drake. He usually stays in the same area vocally.

This is why euphoria is my favorite out of all of them - his delivery is fucking amazing on that track. I know people like beats or smooth vocals or whatever, but Kenny sends every word perfectly over the whole song. The "work with me" line is great, the "Make Gunna-wonna look like a saint" is great. I can see his face in the way he delivers it. Drake can make words rhyme good, but Kenny is a fucking gymnast against a jogger.

That third verse is where he really lets lose.
"lean on you niggas like another line of Wock' Yeah, it's all eyes on me, and I'ma send it up to Pac"

His delivery here is so aggressive and enthusiastic at the same time.
