WHO IS MORE “BATTLE PROVEN”: Drake or Eminem

Decent argument being made in another sub that Drake is more battle tested than Eminem due to who Drake has gone up against.

I personally don’t think subliminals through the years count much and I believe Em is on top just with the Canibus & Royce beefs alone.

What do you guys think?

Is it just me or does it seem like every rapper is getting arrested all of a sudden

Back in the day there was conspiracies to catch all rappers slipping in certain cities and still seems like way more are getting popped now than there were at the time. Just seen the Glorilla thing. Don Toliver. Diddy obviously and some of those are related to his situation but not even half lmao...hell, they arrested Killer Mike right after he won his Grammy. To be fair it does seem like a fair amount of them are just shooting (supposedly), Rod Wave just got popped on what looks like false charges down here in FL, A$ap Rocky, Tory Lanez...Young Thug & Gunna I mean goddamn. Kinda seems like it's still being targeted to me from the outside looking in

At one point all of Kanye's teachers thought he was behind in social skills, so they tried to hold him back. But his mom wouldn’t let it happen
