If you wanna word it like that, I can just say that the turtles had great references, harder disses, each directly dissed their artist counterpart while also referencing themselves, while the Artists only rapped about how smart they were, how dumb and gross the turtles were, and about feces and urinating. And Leonardo and Raphael each wasted their last lines on introducing the next artist just for the sake of referencing their actors.

e.g.

"I can bebop and steady rock a mic, sucka! I'm a pristine Sistine nun chucka!"

"Uh, Dona-tell me who you are again, dude, cause I don't Gattamelata clue what you do."

"You guys draw more dicks than New York pride!"

As for the examples you gave:

The "Rap God" line was brilliant, but it was ruined for me, as I'd said before, by the fact that Michelangelo made no references to the turtles, only mentioning his artwork. The "boot to the half shell" was, in my opinion, a very weak line at best, only improved by the tune they rapped it in. The NES line was, again in my opinion, an okay but forgettable line.
