Drake Wins Rap Battle Against Lil Wayne In Dallas

It is difficult to make Lil Wayne look even a little laid back, but a high flight Drake managed to do Sunday night at Gexa Energy Pavilion.

Drake Lil Wayne vs The tour has become audience participation to a higher level, with a call to "tap the app" that allows fans to choose their favorite rapper. The concept of the title fight is all more heavy programs should emulate. Energy is never delayed; successes did not stop; sets rather than traded blows; and although it was all in fun, the fans had a rooting interest.



Advantage, Lil Wayne. Tunechi was tapped to go first, and he came out swinging with the rock-tinged "Blunt Blowin '." And, as they say, the crowd went crazy, and started loudly.

The sound stage was minimally dressed cool;
it had to be to deal with the noise, the kind usually only heard on Saturday in a stadium big football school. (Usually shows are illegible rap and heavy with bass, with the public able to catch a word or two and just tell the hook by the change in the music.)

Drake, which could well be called the captain. Hook, made good use of it, too. That is how he shot over the crowd on a zip-line-like contraption and expressed amazement at the amount of people were present, and variety.

This group, comes in from top to bottom, was a mixture of old and young, with everything from khakis and boat shoes scammers jerseys body dressed in club wear. And for the young, 5 years old, was seen a couple of rows.

Commercial places and verses throughout the series, Drake Lil Wayne deferred to as "my boss ... the reason I'm on stage." But not for long. Drake's music is full of parts incorporated singalong, and obliged fans when cracked "Over." And I remained, especially during the part of Trey Songz series with Drake singing "Hold On, come Home."

Lil Wayne had something to sing that ". Anything you can do I can do better" Then he came to the microphone to speak-sing their way through "How to Love."

They saved the big stage - fireworks, flames and light shows - for when they were together on stage, a chord change with the power of the stars of the moment.

Let's go to the tale of the tape.

Avatar Lil Wayne, 1 point: The screens played a motion comic with subtitles and voiceover as "Destiny has forced them into direct contact!" Avatar Wayne had fangs, for the win.

Humility Drake, 1 point: Always concerned Wayne as his mentor or boss. Each faux insult came with a smile, to the delight of many screaming female fans who never sat even on the grass.

Rappers also traded jabs. "I've been doing this since I was in a wheelchair," Lil Wayne joked about the role of Drake in Degrassi: The Next Generation. "There is a huge difference between hits and classics." Then later, Drake said Wayne "Make It Rain" was "vintage" and "available only on vinyl." A point each.

Wayne is usually a blunt object, while Drake is a precision tool. The two played with it a bit, probably gaining fans who were firmly in the camp of the other. But what led to some odd songs by Lil Wayne omissions - no "Fireman", not "La La" - that would be guaranteed party starters in anything resembling a genuine battle rap.

Wayne Drake played the game. So it meant the decision was an enchanted Drake ... this time.

Because in such a big stage, eventually everyone wins.
