Is it just us or are these Drop the Mic segments getting more and more intense?!

Dave Franco and Cara Delevingne stopped by The Late Late Show Wednesday and entered into what might have been the fiercest rap battle yet on the late-night show. As per usual, host James Corden kicked off the battle and immediately went in on Dave and Cara.

"We can all agree you're not famous enough for it," Corden began, referencing Dave's appearance on the show. "Don't worry there's still time for you to be discovered / But I'm pretty sure we actually meant to book your brother [James Franco]."

And that was just the warm-up. Next up was model-actress Cara, whose feelings he definitely didn't spare. "Cara Delevingne from Paper Towns / I wish someone dropped a match and burned that movie down," he rapped. "You're perfect for Suicide Squad I'm being heartfelt / Because when I see you try to act it makes me want to kill myself."

Cara didn't take it too seriously, though, as she spit straight fire right back at the British host. "You'll kill yourself you promise is that a fact? / I've never heard a better reason for me to act." 

A few verses later she went one step further and called herself "the woman who saved late-night TV." Roasted. She didn't stop there, though, as she also criticized Dave during her time on the mic. While rapping about his lack of fame like Corden did, Cara used his movie, Now You See Me, to make light of his low profile. "Now you see me / No, sorry I don't," she rapped.

Next up was Dave, who started rapping about Cara and ended with James. Dave also made fun of Cara's acting, and even joked that she tries "to hide an accent thicker than [her] eyebrows." The Nerve star then called out James for his super late-night time slot. "Say hello to the pets whose owners fell asleep...You're a less talented, much fatter Mr. Bean," he jabbed.

The Into the Woods actor made light of Dave's dig, responding, "I actually think Mr. Bean is funny, so joke's on you." And then James picked up his verses and really drove his point home with Dave. "[Your brother] is Marky Mark, you're Donnie Wahlberg / Don't think you have the skills to take me / The only funny thing you've been in is Alison Brie."

Alison is Dave's fiancée, so he really went there. Watch the video to see just how intense this Drop the Mic bit gets, and who of the three takes the prize!
