Drake's record sales and streaming dominance still crushes Kendrick's, so maybe a better phrase would have been still killing it?

I listened to the tracks and Drake just has more poise.

Artistry? Maybe Kendrick? Too early to say, imo. There's lots of arguments for/against both artists as to why one is better/worse.

I think it played out at a time when national sentiments were running prrtty high, so it's really hard to make broad stroke judgement about whose tracks have better artistic merit. I found it funny how it all played out.
