It coulda been a bonding experience

Please help me ID these two rap songs I heard at the gas station tonight. Yeah I shoulda just asked them but I didn't and now it's killing me.

I tried to write down the lyrics to google later, but none of the results are turning up the right songs.

Both of the songs sounded older. They were probably not from the same artist. The words were pretty clear, no distortion, good enunciation.
The first song talked about being either colder or stronger than a super mutant, and went on to mention Professor X. (no it's not that Lupe Fiasco song)
The 2nd song talked about the size of his kingdom, to measure it you'd need a ruler, etc. It had a hook that was daring someone to take a shot, or go for it, or something like that.

First one could be Czarface's Savagely Attack? That album is from this year but has a decidedly old-school sound to it.

Is the second one Kendrick Lamar's Backstreet Freestyle? There's a ruler in that one but it's used to measure the size of his ladyfriend's tush.

Could the first one be Secret Wars by Last Emperor? Not a lot to go on, but that's one song that definitely has lots of mutant/X-men/Professor X references.

Not sure about the second, at all, but with some more info I'm sure it can be found.

Also on the paraphrasing bit, can you describe either of the rapper's voices, or the backing if it was particularly distinctive?
