Drake couldn't rap battle against a chair. He doesn't write any of his own stuff. Eminem could destroy him with one verse.

Sorry bout that ^ accidental multi post
Stay down, you do not want to get up.
You guys realize rapping is basically having a firm grasp of the language and being able to put together lines in such a way that almost it's poetic - in some cases? That isn't something you simply lose because you get older. If anything, I bet eminem has gotten even better than he was before.
I still really want this to happen, 8 mile style.
What's my definition of success?
Creating something no one else can
Being brave enough to dream big
Grindin' when you're told to just quit
Giving more when you got nothin' left
I understand that, but he's out of practice. As with anything, you lose your proficiency over time if you don't keep up with it. I think Em would win, mainly because I don't believe Drake writes his own stuff, but I don't know if I would say it's obvious who the winner is before it even starts. I'd pay to see it happen, but I don't think it's going to.
Nah man, in an interview after his 4 years of not releasing any songs (due to drug problems and recovery) he admitted to have forgotten how to rap. That's the power of a drug addiction...
He stated he had to learn how to rap again. It would be pretty sad if he had a ghostwriter to write some of his lyrics now.

Him not relevant? Out of the game for 15 years? Have you listened to Shady XV? He still puts out better lyrics than any "known" artist alive right now.
Drake trying to battle him would be completely stupid. Drake had one good "album" and that was his Ghost Money mixtape. He can't rap. Period.
Eminem has successfully ended the careers of many people who have mentioned his name. Rappers or not. He has the ability to take on anyone in the game right now and effectively win if it came down to a "battle". Now, that being said, Eminem is not a battle rapper. Cassidy in his prime, Eyedea, Dizaster; any of them would have put Em to shame in a battle environment. Nowadays, there aren't any decent battle rappers that could put up much of a fight, to my knowledge. I'm only speculating because I haven't seen anything regarding rap battles since Cassidy battled Dizaster last year (which was a hilarious misconception of a "battle). The last decent battle I've seen is Mac Lethal VS. Dirtbag Dan.
Now, we go underground? There's MANY artists that could put Em to shame right now. But Drake? Not a slim chance in Canadian hell.
Drake definitely had more than one good album lol
Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, IYRTITL, even Views are pretty solid. Even if there's some controversy around him RN it doesn't take away from the quality projects he's consistently dropped over the years.
Either way though Eminem hasn't been the same to me since around the time The Eminem Show dropped...even if his technical ability is still there, it feels like something is missing...maybe it's the damage from all the drugs or just old age or whatever, but his new stuff isnt as good IMO
+ if Drake and Eminem actually had a "battle" it'd probably come down to whoever can make the catchiest song w/ the catchiest bars for the average person to enjoy, and I doubt Eminem can do that better than Drake right now lol I could be wrong though but if I were Eminem I wouldn't risk it
They are both two totally different artists. I think 40 deserves half of Drake's credit/fame but of course we just see "Drake". Some of beats Drake uses are LIT!

Yeah you're right about the catchy bars being the winner for the main fanbase of most of Drake's fans. If it came down to technicality, lyrical content, double/triple/quadruple entendres, ability to rhyme the words "orange" and freaking "racecar", Eminem would still be able to KILL it. Drake has amazing beats, he's very good at singing, his bars are just lacking content. He's another Lil Wayne after the Carter 3. He stopped trying to make meaningful music and make sad shit and poppy crap to make you think you like it. I'm not going to, for even a second, try to down play Drake's success but I pretty much gave up trying to listen to him after I heard "Started From The Bottom" or whatever it was called. He's fake as fuck for that. Period. He's a trust fund baby, an actor, and made a nice career in music because of his connections. But also, yeah I think Em lost a lot of his ability due to him putting out SO much different stuff that he really doesn't have any subjects he can touch on anymore. He's out of content. He's done everything there is to do. I still firmly believe that Drake would NOT be able to even come close to touching Em's very real talent. Yeaah he sells, but he sells because it's catchy. I like music to have very deep and meaningful messages. And Joe said it too, they are completely different styles of artists.
