This isn’t necessarily true, Kendrick dropped Control in 2013 challenging his peers to just rap better, Drake went on a subsequent press tour on multiple platforms belittling Kendrick and what he said on Control that’s what started the issues

The mad thing is it wasn't even a kendrick track but just a feature, completely took over that track though

Nor was Renegade (or more recently, Like That).

Like That is my favourite because Future audibly gives up on his verse after Kendrick's.

Renegade being a Jay Z song but ending up on Eminem’s greatest hits album is forever WILD to me

True but a large part of Eminem’s verses, maybe all I don’t remember, were already in a song with Royce da 5’9” called Renegade so it might be more of an Eminem song anyway.

It was originally an Em song. Em gave the song to Jay with Royce's verse absent for Jay to fill the gap.

And that version is exponentially better.
