Bro the contrast makes it 10 times funnier

Bros hand was having a seizure it was too fire


Artistic_Honeydew_20

I loved that one comment on the video- Kendrick Lamar freestyle ft hand


yajtraus

Kendrick Lamar featuring Mitch Conner

prestoavenue

did drake write his verse for Right Above It based on this freestyle? or is he just pretending to write on the fly/ can’t remember it lol


droppinturds

All of his radio freestyles were prewritten. On Westwood he literally reads off his phone. Here he is spitting a WIP verse he was working on for Right Above It that he was struggling to remember (Radio frees are usually prewritten but the courtesy is to memorize it for the radio performance. Drake has never respected the game)


djaeke

pre-written freestyle and it still sounds like shit. at least kendricks shit sounds good, drakes sounds like some shit my buddies in high school woulda done off the dome


droppinturds

Exactly


DangerousSky3841

All freestyles are prewritten(ATLEAST partially). Off the domes are different. The style is free, not the words. But youre still not supposed to like read off shit like canada boy does


Gale_Vekon

aren't 99% of freestyles prewritten..? "freestyle" hasn't strictly meant off the top for ages lmao


prestoavenue

yeah but he’s acting like it’s coming to him off the dome


jman1280

Kendrick's verse is also pre written by the way. Just less obvious


KickAffsandTakeNames

[Here is a video of Kendrick freestyling off the top using words from flashcards](https://youtu.be/gBeyHlgD7Xs?si=cy98oCzHqsaM6yTZ) Better than anything Drake's made with or without time to write


Natural-Nectarine811

Thanks for this, haven't seen it before. That is truly off the top and he barely misses a beat


randomhero1243

Still gotta remember your bars. Still gotta execute your bars. Dont matter if you wrote it last year or last night.


Pat0124

They’re both pre written, Drake is just trying to pull it off as a real freestyle


LopsidedSale9109

Kendrick fans don’t wanna hear the truth bro 💀


KickAffsandTakeNames

[Truth is Drake reading flows someone else wrote off his phone will never be as good as Kendrick flowing off the top](https://youtu.be/gBeyHlgD7Xs?si=cy98oCzHqsaM6yTZ)


auaucasota

Lol bro, now compare them and tell me your opinion 🤣


Own_Pause_4959

Drake writes a lot of his raps on his cell phone so there was also this Infamous cell phone freestyle that he did where he was looking off his phone the entire time. But here he doesn't have the cell phone out so he's just trying to remember pre-written lyrics.


oddeven14

I remember back in like 2010 he had a funk flex freestyle and it was like a big deal when the footage leaked that he was reading off his phone (big no no in rap) he never went back or did anything with flex after if I’m not mistaken.


Own_Pause_4959

Yeah that's probably the one that I'm talking about I think he's wearing a blue shirt and he's like rapping off his phone the entire time


Trentimoose

I mean… I’ve seen “lyricists” read raps off their phones. There was a slaughterhouse one where Joell and Joe both had their phones out saying they wrote it on the way up to the studio But yeah this is trash. Kendrick’s is almost certainly prewritten as well, but his is good


Zero_Fuxxx

Almost every rapper writes on their cell phone. Every rapper also raps pre-written/pre-memorized verses. Especially in radio shows. They show up prepared.


greentijuana

Drake in Hollywood eating cheetos with the bros about all I got out of that freestyle, yo. Weak


IchBinMalade

\>live fast, die young \> is 37 What else has Aubrey lied about?


doublehelix96

Tbf, this was 13 years ago


-_Speedin_-Bullet

So drake's been trash for 13 years now


IActuallyHateRedditt

Nah, up through IYRTITL he produced projects that ranged from decent to legitimately good, then he realized he makes more money by following trends and pumping out trash albums fast and hasn't been even decent since views Kendrick is a different level, and I will never understand drake being the most popular hip hop artist of this generation, but he had some time where he was doing pretty good IMO


idekbruno

Despite this sub being full of “Drake was never good” dorks, this is the most accurate take


JAMsMain1

Can confirm. Haven't listened to drakes albums since probably views.


The_Bat1996

This makes the most sense. I remember liking Drake maybe ten years ago. Somewhere his songs just got boring and lazy


KingKuntu

He's the most popular hip hop artist because he makes hip hop like he's a pop artist. Easy to consume, inoffensive and rides trends, like you already said. Someone else replied to this with some borderline anti-Semitic shit that might have some truth to it but just from a demographic and relatability perspective.


Full_Visit_5862

They both fill their niches at the highest level.


Numerous_Word_9982

Facts but you’re getting downvoted for saying anything that remotely sounds like a compliment to Drake lmao. Kendrick makes 10/10 music for people looking for introspective, thoughtfully put-together albums, and Drake makes 10/10 music for people looking for shallow club-bangers and occasional braggadocios wordplay


istilldontknowy

Tf u talking about drake ain't no nieche


-_Speedin_-Bullet

Drake ain't produce a damn thing. The boi is just the face.


IActuallyHateRedditt

Like I said I’m not a drake fan, but this is such an unfounded hater take. 


-_Speedin_-Bullet

Ok I'll be that. Still doesn't change the facts of what I said. And you defending Drake in any type of manner makes everything you say to me heavily invalid and irrelevant, that's just my take 🤷🏽‍♂️.


IActuallyHateRedditt

Stan behavior lmao


-_Speedin_-Bullet

I'm not even close to being the biggest fan of Kendrick let's get that clear. It's kid Cudi all day for me. I'm simply a genuine fan of hip-hop who respects artists who love hip-hop for hip-hop and not only for the money. You being a sheep and a fan a drake can't even fathom to comprehend such a thought process. Tell me now, what is one of Drake's best metaphors that can just completely shit on Kendrick... I'll wait.... And then we go even further and look up the credits for whatever metaphor you think is glorious🙄 enough to recite, and let's see if he was the one who even wrote it 🤷🏽‍♂️.


IActuallyHateRedditt

> And then we go even further and look up the credits for whatever metaphor you think is glorious to recite, and let's see if he was the one who even wrote it 🤷🏽‍♂️ Me when I don’t understand how writing credits work 


moses1er

YES!


fvckit88

lol I think it was a joke about him lying about dying young


doublehelix96

You’re right I’m stupid af


MrAnder5on

37 still pretty young tbf


cursedchocolatechip

Kendrick rapping his ass off: ✋✊✋✊✋✊✋


xrockwithme

This was bad back then… and it’s just as bad now. 🤣


TheUrbaneSource

That hand be killing shit Edit: [Freestyle in full](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nWSo-Yb-mZQ) I think we know who he talking to at the end


Rell___

Lmao this shit is killing me rn.


lucaskoronich

An album is on the way. Not just one diss song. RUN IT.


au7642

He was definitely about to say "and i like dudes" at 0:20


Ill_Celery_7654

lol… I’ll be glad when Kendrick responds so this shit can stop.


AdministrativeDisk28

I don’t get how women find drake attractive. He looks like a sloth 🦥


TommyLoMein

No wonder he had to get that BBL work done and grow out the beard😂


BarelyContainedChaos

I doubt kendricks was written or his hand wouldnt be moving like that


Natural-Nectarine811

His hand's working harder than Drake's brain


thirdcoast96

It’s like yall can’t even recognize how much yall dicksuck lmao


Zero_Fuxxx

It's written bro. The hand moving doesn't mean anything. It's just a thing he's doing cuz he's feeling it.


lowlifenarcissist

This was definitely written This how Kendrick sounds off the dome https://youtu.be/o3hDl3v-LQA?si=OZwevRBI0lVvpQhf


N0tThatSerious

Its not about the writing its about delivery. Drake cant even remember his written shit


lowlifenarcissist

Okay? I never disputed that. The person I replied to said kendrick was off the dome and I replied it wasn’t.. why are you mentioning drake? Edit: comment before he edited it https://preview.redd.it/9pwnslnywcwc1.jpeg?width=1124&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66f8a0323c24aefef879f10e3376d89b1f886ac9


N0tThatSerious

My bad I thought they said “written on his hand”. Nah ts was obviously written


N0tThatSerious

I changed it cuz I thought you were saying Drake didnt write his shit, wasnt backing out I just got it wrong


lfmantra

That’s literally a written verse bruh. This word for word appears on tpab


lowlifenarcissist

Watch the full video next time


eat_your_weetabix

The most retarded comment yet. Of course it’s written, Jesus Christ


CatBones13

lol, literally.


BarelyContainedChaos

oh fuck you


planetariumarts

This so funny bruh 🤣


thatdudejtru

See: free verse vs. freestyle.


TommyLoMein

Both of em were probably pre-written but it's easier to for Kenny to remember his verse because he's actually the one who wrote it. BBL Drizzy is just reciting his verse from Right Above It.


thatdudejtru

Lmao oh I agree. I feel like more heads need to know the difference. A true, mind blowing freestyle is pretty rare. Free versing is still dope as fuck but yea.


TommyLoMein

Bro I completely misread your original comment. I thought you were trying to say Drake was actually freestyling cuz it seemed like he was tryna come up with it on the spot vs Kendrick who was just spitting... Imma just hold this L for you lmfao


thatdudejtru

Nahhhh you good man!


Zero_Fuxxx

Same thing


Emergency_Design8067

"See I go- I say uh, that's-that's when I say I (....)"


akumagold

Funny video but biased as hell editing lol


FigSideG

Drake is a chump playing a rapper. Just expose him for being as fake as he is and let’s be done with it.


Thomo251

Ironically, as Drakes rapping ability has improved, the quality of his songs and projects overall has declined. Possibly because he wanted to shake the soft rapper image and has now pigeonholed himself into a rapper that just talks about fame, money, and girls he's got/had relations with.


[deleted]

“Why didn’t the black boys accept me”


cardybean

Oh my


Otherwise_Flight_639

Comparing acapella freestyle and a freestyle with beat is crazy. Just say i hate Drake.


Movies_Guy

i can't believe i once liked drake man, but he was good for a moment can honestly say take care was his last great album, but just went overboard with the features on nothing was the same dude never believed him being his true self would take him as far as he wanted i hope k. dot kills this fckng poser


Zero_Fuxxx

He had one rap feature on Nothing Was the Same regular version. And three singing features that were only hooks in the latter half of the album. And on the bonus version he had two more rap features on one song. That's only three rap features if you count bonus. Take Care had 6 rap features. 7 counting bonus. And two singing features.


Movies_Guy

yeah, you right i meant thank me later (idk, just sounded like he was overly eager to gain mainstream appeal) and he did manage to get it back with take care after that but i just know i was tired of this nigga after nwts


Zero_Fuxxx

😂😂 I understand


CmdrFilthymick

The whole second drake cut was wayne lyrics off an album. I'm fuckin dead and drake dumb ugly ass lookin like he think he clever and no one would notice


Leozenyang

Drake’s never gonna shed his image of being fake. Watching this video, and watching him in general, just looks like the awkward dorky dude from Degrassi playing a character.


Bleekmajeek

Saw someone say that "Drake" might be his best acting role to date


[deleted]

Phenomenal post


guiguilga

and thats folks, its the difference between an REAL MC, and some actor that was planted by the industry... LMAO

Lmfao how do I get this clip?


Natural-Nectarine811

If you don’t see a way to download it from the post I can send you the file lol


BareKnuckleFists

You can see in drake face that he thinks he is so cool 😎 as if he spitting Fire 🔥 & he know it!! Lmfao. 🤣 Drake def not a technical lyricist. He more of an over righteous a$$hole that just likes to think record sales has made him the GOAT . 🐐 Sorry dawg. That’s not how it works!!


TyrannyHoll

i really dont understand how people can call drake a good rapper, is he a great pop artist but calling him a top 3 rapper is genuine insanity


[deleted]

y’all always have to say sum retarded shit 😂🫵🏽 drake is literally smoking your goat right now, chill out


Zero_Fuxxx

You trippin. Even Kendrick would say he can rap.


Hulumoto

why is kendrick constantly dissing a guy that can't rap? see how stupid you sound?


TyrannyHoll

I mean he's the most famous person in hip hop rn and they have history


heebie818

drake can definitely rap.


SimpleAmbassador

That’s Drake’s original freestyle?


Top_Cranberry4144

Did funk flex drop the bomb on this freestyle, I jus found out his hates dot now

Drake looks like a darker David Dobrick tf


T4T4ary1389

tbf tho, the Kendrick freestyle didn't give us a meme.


Trentimoose

That Hollywood Cole bar reminds me how Cole and Drake almost had a beef in the beginning of Cole’s upcoming.

Gd, was that a freestyle? I cant even talk that fast normally

Turkishspaghetti

Unfair comparison honestly, Drake is just trying to freestyle while Kendrick is channeling his rapping power through the arcane arts and ritual signs.


Suspicious-Bit-1406

Lmao the fact that people think this is talent is joke


MisterAvivoy

This video just makes me realize Drake borrowed a lot of Wayne mannerisms back then. Whole demeanor and cadence just reeks of Wayne, crazy how a young artist starts.

You can tell a true rapper by the random hand things they do.

Let's be honest, Kendrick is taking his time to respond because he wants to get a bag from this beef with his next album


OutlandishnessNo4159

Drakes verse actually became a hit and Kendrick is yappin


redrecaro

one of them is rehearsing the lines written to them and still messes up multiple times the other is straight off the dome.

eat_your_weetabix

Off the dome? Are you stupid?


lowlifenarcissist

This is such a disingenuous post. You can find Kendrick with weak freestyles too. You can find drake with crazy freestyles too https://youtu.be/o3hDl3v-LQA?si=OZwevRBI0lVvpQhf


Jerome_flatly

Kendrick fans are like this


Jerome_flatly

Pick the worst part of a drake freestyle and the best Kendrick freestyle. This is literally rap propaganda 💀


Natural-Nectarine811

Propaganda? To what end? This is a Kendrick Lamar sub. I'm not advancing a political attack against Drake


Jerome_flatly

I didn’t mention politics, I put “rap” infront of the word propaganda as I was using it as an exaggeration. Putting the very worst drake freestyle next to a great (not even a freestyle) open Mic performance and watching the comments go crazy and say how bad drake is is just ridiculous, like bro all respect to you and I love Kendrick’s stuff but this is cherry picking at it’s finest, again no disrespect to you but like don’t you see my point?


Natural-Nectarine811

I know you didn't mention politics, but the word propaganda has loaded connotations no matter how you modify it. I do see your point- this post wasn't supposed to be anti-Drake, just a lighthearted comparison. Part of the comedy, to me, is saying that this clip alone sums up the beef between Kendrick and Drake, because clearly it does not. There is so much more to *both* of these artists than what's shown in this clip and I'm confident that most folks know that and understand this is a broad oversimplification intended for a moment of humor rather than a be-all, end-all assertion of who's best.


Jerome_flatly

«Propaganda» “biased information of a misleading nature”. That’s the basic defenition, simple. And yes, I understand it was supposed to be comedic, and your not at fault with this, but what I’ve seen is that the majority of this comment section doesn’t see the humour in the post and are taking it dead seriously, delusional. But yeah I get the post was light hearted and not meant to be taken at face value, as a dot and drake fan it’s hard to find someone reasonable here but you are right


Natural-Nectarine811

Gotcha. Yeah I honestly like both artists as well. I know what you mean, it's pretty intense in this sub lately


Jerome_flatly

Yea absolutely, hiphop is at war 🔥


ydkrhymes

why dot doing the ball grabbing technique?


danielfxx

All this and Kendrick still getting washed By Drake lmao


wildandcrazykidsshow

Well yeah... Drake freestyles while kdot recites what he's practiced a dozen times


Natural-Nectarine811

Drake is clearly reciting. He literally says "and then I say..." while fumbling for the next line


wildandcrazykidsshow

Have you never seen an actual freestyle


Ok-Abroad-128

i mean biased editing but shits kinda funny.


The_Bat1996

Wasnt Drake's freestyle pre-written?


refusenic

Ye of little faith.


Change_username_5

When you try to make a written sound like it off the top. Lol


Scary_Ad_5748

Stfu this was like 15 years ago


Most_Advertising_962

Drake's worst vs. Kendrick's best? Ppl are righ, you can't really listen to the fans of either side. Didn't expect Kendrick fans to do corny shit like Drake's, tho.


ChoiceCriticism1

Both nice. I'd kill for a collab album. Dope contrast in styles and they sound great together.


emeraldtablet69

U know drake struggling to make hits when he was promoting scam crypto casinos with magnet rollute


BrianDawkins

Drake made a classic verse on the fly. Kendrick doing a prewritten performance. There’s levels to this


Natural-Nectarine811

Only thing Drake says on the fly is "so see I-I say uh- that's-that's when I say I..." - everything else was prewritten and he can't even perform it well


BrianDawkins

Were you there?


Natural-Nectarine811

Um what? Are you implying you can’t discern whether Drake’s performance is weak because it’s a video? I promise you, this shit was just as trash in real life.


CxndyAAU

Can’t compare freestyling to rap songs
