Everyone thinks rappers these days are competitive, that's why they don't jump on tracks with each other anymore.

But the height of competition in music is rapping on the same song.

Let's see you go toe to toe on the same beat, bruh.
Because so many factors go into rapping:

The beat/melody.
*Flow and pockets.
*Bars, nigga.
The chorus.
Producer power.

Just to name a few.

Any one of these could make a great song. But only the ones marked with an asterisk are solely the artist's responsibility.
Back to my original tweet, when two artists are competing on the same beat, that's true competition. Not this single vs single nonsense.
Watch The Throne is the most perfect example that comes to mind. That was a legendary moment.

Make E No Cause Fight is another example. And the sequel was even better. Dare I say the best Falz since Moral Instruction.
Hmm. It seems I have lost the plot. Started talking about Collaborative Rap and ended up in Lekki complaining about runs girls.

I'll end this thread here.
