I used to think that too and then Rocky dropped ALLA and Testing and it was just a wrap. Though Ferg does still outshine Rocky on posse cuts and on the Cozy Tapes. Ferg's energy and flows can't be denied.

All these artists lyrical tho

Ye and Dre have writers and I wouldn't call Purrp or M.I.A. lyrical tbh. They both rap well but they don't have too much emphasis on lyricism as opposed to melodies/flows/cadence/production

They always are
