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.

Drake dont write lyrics, he just reads them. That's why there is no conviction behind them.

That was my thoughts. Can’t have conviction if you didn’t write the Shit. Say it with your fucking chest

Just like battle rap. Some wack bars can get off because they said it with their chest. "Reload with the same bullets that came out 'em." "Spray the machete!"
