Drake is literally a rap genius, a savant even. No surprise that people want to study his quotables.
“Started from the bottom, now we here” Yep, truly a rap genius, LOL.
“Bitch don’t kill my vibe, bitch don’t kill my vibe.” “First you get a swimming pool full of liquor, then you dive in it.” “All my life I want money and power, Respect my mind or die from lead shower, I pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower, So I can fuck the world for 72 hours.”
Shit’s weak.
Where did I say I was a Kendrick fan? LOL
Those lines ain’t weak. They’re better than anything Aubrey said.
I love Kendrick and Drake, but you have to be on crack if you think Drake is better lyrically than Kendrick. Drake has great melodies, but Kendrick is the poet.

Drake is a light skinned, emotional singer. Not even a rapper.
