Lupe Fiasco and St. Louis rapper Aye Verb engaged in a cordial hip-hop discussion on Monday (April 15) on X, the former Twitter. The two esteemed MCs bring up their mutual acquaintances Kendrick Lamar and Drake, who are presently involved in a highly publicized rap beef, at one point in their talk. Lupe offers Kendrick some props for his live performances, but the Chicago spitter still thinks Drizzy is the superior rapper.

“Drake or Kendrick?” Listen listen to Lupe’s lightning-fast response to Aye Verb’s question in the audio clip: “Drake.”

Following this, Aye Verb inquires, “Is it by a long shot?”

“Not really,” Lupe Fiasco clarifies. You are aware that Drake has bars. By sаying that, you can be sure that I am not capping it. Therefore, Drake would get it from me. In terms of technical ability, I prefer Kendrick to Drake, but I can’t sаy that he’s the superior rapper.
