In a Streetfighter styled matchup, Hip Hop superstars Lil Wayne and Drake faced off on stage at DTE Energy Music Theatre on a rainy Saturday, August 16 in Clarkston, MI. The crowd was invited to download an app before the show which allowed them to choose a side in the battle to be named “The Best Rapper in the World.” A screen that spanned the width of the stage showed Drake and Lil Wayne as Capcom-like Streetfighter characters. These things set the stage for an exciting rivalry between the two rappers over a 2 and half hour set of over 50 songs.

Lil Wayne had the most opening votes and took the stage first. Opening songs included “Blunt Blowin’” and “We Be Steady Mobbin’.” Drake followed up with his first strike including “We Made It” and “The Language.” For the rest of the set the two rappers went back and forth “battling” with around 3 songs at a time. Both sets included many fan favorite and newer songs. From Lil Wayne, we heard songs like “Lollipop,” “Bitches Love Me,” “Mr. Carter,” “No Worries,” “Pop That,” and “Drop the World.” From Drake we got “No Lie,” “The Motto,” “Versace,” “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” and “Find Your Love.”

The entire night was filled with both men throwing joke insults at each other’s music. It’s obvious they are friends and have a lot of respect for each other as they would laugh at the others insults.The two came together at the end of the show to perform some of their collaborations including “Believe Me,” “HYFR (Hell Yeah Fuckin Right),” and “Grindin,” which is Lil Wayne’s first single from the yet to be released “Tha Carter V.”
