He is the master of double, triple and at times the quadruple entendres. He is quite simply the greatest lyricist. I'd put him bar for bar with anyone. And yes, I am dick riding. But prove me wrong.
I listened to Royce first and was like okay this is how you rap.. then Lupe just showed you how to make rap do whatever you want it to.. master class shit..
@@Yo-oz6pj but the problem is even if he is bodied those Stan's won't admit it. His fan base literally won't let him lose. Just like with Drake when Pusha T dragged him
@@Yo-oz6pj There's a major difference between Royce and Em even if their lyrical abilities is similar and that is battle rap as a whole. When Em disses you, he sounds as if he is coming for no one but you, he does not lolli gag on the beat like Royce does, he does not jab unless its a one verse feature thing. When a full diss track is dedicated from Em to you he is only on your ass and no one else's, which is why I believe Em is a much better match up for Lupe. Do I believe Em is better? Possibly no. Do I believe he is a lot more direct and vicious? Definitely yes.
@@rasaanshakur9491 Em is not that hard, he is for mainstream mofos because they're able to make good music. Most of them can't battle rap or truly freestyle, those are the people who didn't make it to the mainstream. Em was one of the few who's high tier lyrical and able to make popular songs.
The most annoying thing ever is when you mention Lupe to someone and they call him "the 'Kick, Push' dude". Y'all better respect this man pen. There are very, very few even in close proximity of his caliber.
Just because he's more than his song, don't mean he's NOT the "kick, push" dude. What if I was like, "who did that Kick, Push masterpiece?" You gonna NOT say Lupe cause you think it's disrespectful???? It's not like it was someone else.
@@yamonyosun813 Rephrasing the inquiry the way you did immediately changes the narrative. I was referring to the ones who say it diminishingly. I'm sure you know what I mean.
@@yamonyosun813 It's all good. I appreciate you revealing the fallacy. I definitely could've specified in the post, lol. Just a couple of Fiasco fans that want him to be recognized for the bulk of his work, not just whatever made it to the radio or mainstream.
"I spit your verse to get immersed inside my enemy and to remind you that they have to go through you to get to me. Subtle subordination. Perpetual sidekick. That's sort of a station that you're used to. So you ain't got to get all extremely too personal on your albums when you're not surrounded by bigger artists to fucking boost you." JESUS. FUCKING. CHRIST.
This line buried the man unquestionably. "Your penmanship has the fingerprints of a gimmick And affection and the intimacy of impressions of that nigga you friends with I ain't gotta say it to say it I can't even blame you, the nigga's one of my favorites"
It was a complex way of what Eminem told MGK " Cause he knows long as I'm Shady, he's gon' have to live in my shadow" that's royce everytime he's in an interview they ask about Eminem more
@@ThanosTheTitan93 idk if it was "more complex". Complexity isn't comparable here as they have 2 different contexts offering similar meanings In response to MGK saying he'll have intercourse with Kim, Em' says "How the fuck can Him and I battle? He'll have to fuck Kim in my flannel And I'll give him my sandals, cos he knows as long as i'm Shady he's gon' have to live in my shadow" This is more for wordplay on Eminem's own nickname and complete rebuttal, even pointing out the similarities or desperate measures MGK went through in his career and 'Rap Devil' to copy Eminem as a wannabe, even wanting to fuck his own ex-wife. In response to Royce mentioning the love of skin colour difference Lupe apparently has whilst also mentioning himself as an untouchable lyricist, Lupe says (it's already quoted above, just gonna simplify here) "Your lyricism is superficial, even though you come across as personable and likeable like Eminem, he's real, i don't need to point out the difference, you know it" This is more for rebuttal and commentary on Royce's twisted perspective and perhaps contradictory statements. Royce calling Lupe out for loving "white people more than blacks" but is closest of friends with **the** white guy in rap, always defends him and has great love for him, yet even though Eminem as a character is a gimmick, his pen isn't. But Royce's pen is, despite being so close to 1 of the greatest rappers ever
That was the line that ended it, the if it wasn't for/four BODIED him and the rest was overkill don't bring yo ass back.. ETHER level, can't stop playing this shit!!!
@Saurabh Mehta man I like ether. But I've always thought it was really overrated it's just all like insults there's not a ton of substance. I feel like it's one of the best diss tracks of its kind but I would always prefer The Story Of Adidon or like Exodus 23:1 where it's just facts and dismantling someone
This track is the equivalent to Freeza playing around with Vegeta & them in his 2nd form on Namek. This is pure fire and this ain’t even his final form.
@@lordtrill7731 🤣they ain't seen nothing and funny part some people didn't see how he broke though a lot of analogies and hypcrocisies around Royce character.🤯.....Royce landed in a spider web and will get devoured🤣
@TheBunBun54321 I feel you, my core Hip Hop personal artists are like Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, Krs-One, Immortal Technique, Public Enemy and of course Jay-Z. So Lupe’s stronger political bars hit for me. But the Mixtape I suggested I think is a better illustration of raw skill on the Mic since it is full of conceptual artistry and show off rapping.
Lupe literally displayed all ways to attack someone in a battle. He just told a story, humiliated, and joked on Royce....while catering to both the advanced listeners and the instant gratification listeners.
@@dutchea be objective, dude. Lupe just tore Royce a new one! I fuck with Royce too but dont come on here acting ignorant, talking that 10x shit. You must not really know who Lupe is....🤦♂️

That bar was dope but not crazy at all. This is coming from someone who thinks Lu is definetly superior to Royce lyrically.
its like royce did 20 back flips and put on some crazy acrobatic display of kicks and punches and then Lupe slowly walked up and knocked him on his ass with one punch.
Makes me think of the scene in Indiana Jones where the guy does all the moves and stuff with his weapon then Indy just pulls out his gun and shoots him
Mans gave him 1/2 an slr, lupe might not have meant it but he just put kendrick > royce. Because by my random logic he at least gave kendrick a full slr (3)
@@GabeCerebro How did things escalate on the podcast to this point? Lupe seems like he felt disrespected by Royce but I cant find anything showing that
@@domibro1632 Kinda seemed like it here bro 😂 Lupe saw through all his CANDY bars and twisted the only memorable lines from that lyrical miracle shii Royce put out, Lupe warned him he was messing with a demon and Royce wanna put out some passive aggresive bully ish like Lambda? AND THEN he wanna switch the narrative making it look like he under attack when his egotistical bully persona always wanting to jab at Lupe got him into this mess. Smh I didnt know Royce was gon pussy out like this. Royce is really talented and has definitely solidified his craft by the way, this aint a biased thing. But holy shii he just put him through the wringer

My homie REFUSES to believe Lu did this off the top of his head, but I've been trying to tell him Lu is an alien amongst aliens. Easily one of the best writers ever period and I'm not restricting this to rap. Dude is a legend 12 times over.
Jay Z does this where the essence of the verse we hear is freestyled/improvised but then improved upon afterward. What we hear is not a freestyle but it is derived from one. Some of these bars could have been word for word, flow for flow how Lu freestyled them. Based on the bars of this track it's likely that most of them were improved upon with slight touches and additions after the original freestyle which definitely consisted of more ideas, some of which are left out of the final product. This technique always produces a beautiful paradox; a polished yet rough around the edges composition that is always original and unique.
@@santana8924 have you seen what he does when it's obviously completely off the top? There's freestyles on UA-cam he's done that aren't 5 percent as good as this. Most of these lines aren't off the top . I mean it's easy to tell , you don't come up with multi layer punchlines in the middle of multi syllable schemes over and over in an actual improvised freestyle. That's not how rapping works , for anyone
What people finding this don't know. Lupe woke up in the middle of the night, freestyled and released this.. all within an hr of "Silence of the Lambda" release.
@@TheSmilodon85 fucking dope how he recognizes that. I remember there was a video from one of his concerts in around 2010 I believe, and was freestyling, saying something like "I'm better than such and such and Em" then laughed saying "I'm just playing. I can't fuck with Eminem. I got everybody else covered though"

Do you ppl not understand that less is more? There is a stock thing as wafted bars and doing too much. Lupe did a little bit of everything. Royce talks about checking boxes. Lupe checked boxes. He came direct, he had entendres, over the head bars, aggression, and showed control.
Facts! Royce was gaslighting because he knows he got smoked💨. Yet he on live talking bout “checking boxes” fuck outta here Royce if you waving the white flag just say that! Lml. as if Lupe ain’t been one of the greatest lyrical & conceptual rap artists we’ve witnessed from old school to current legends. Royce should be practicing on his response instead of gossiping on live about it 😭

As a Royce stan since Slaughterhouse. (being honest, I was a kid when he first came out.) LUPE absolutely DESTROYED Royce. I'm happy too because as much as i love Royce, He deserved all the credit he got with Prhyme, Slaughterhouse and his last 3 or 4 albums and Bar Exams, He was getting really cocky and him walking around his house all 2020 because of the Rona, he felt himself too much and he got too political and caught up on what's happening on TV. too opinionated. Cant blame him tho, he was stuck inside all day. And then Royce was weird on the podcast, i guess its their "friend dynamic" but it didnt seem geniune. Lupe is a goddamn monster.
I don’t want to say this- but round 1 goes to Lupe. Bar for bar, no watered down transitions, no wasted words. I Can hear him clearly, just enough punches and wordplay without unnecessarily making it too complex. I love both of them but I think Lupe took this one.

Been said it, I’ll say it again, LUPE IS THE GREATEST LYRICIST ALIVE. You ain’t gotta like his music, it’s not for everyone but this dude is an absolute MASTER of the craft and ALL of his music requires more than one listen before you can even begin to fathom what he’s saying. Dude is a GENIUS.
It's more technical come on now, emotionally detached. Just analytical & chilled closer to Takeover with the emotional detachment. Hit em up & Ether take u on a emotional roller-coaster you come out emo invested against the opponent. Big lips jokes & Eff all bad boy non of those emotions with the other two you will get.

Maybe its a reach, but the "you don't gotta think when niggas already think you are" is probably a nod to Descartes' cogito "I think therefore I am" and he ends the line with "muah" which sounds like the french word for "I" (moi), also Descasrtes is french, genius Lupe
I think he's just saying that Nas thinks he's one of the greatest and Jov thinks the same so you don't have to think about whether you're the greatest when some of the greatest are telling you that you are.

He will be hailed and taught about in schools. So underrated it Hurts Me Soul.

In 7 minutes he did it/ if he knew how to freestyle he could’ve rented Heaven for 7 minutes and been done what needed to be done by the second sentence/ All these extra innings may come across as Master- but my impression; apprentice/ Ya penmanship has the fingerprints of a gimmick and affection and the intimacy of impressions of that nigga you friends with/ I ain’t gotta say it to say it/ I can't even blame you the nigga’s one of my favorites Sheesh!
Well shit...halfway through and I understand why Kendrick didn't respond to anyone after the Control verse when SLR2 came out. Guess hip hop battles are now carried by Lu & Royce🔥🔥🔥
@@mynameis3983not necessarily afraid, he was overwhelmed by the number of replies he got and from top tier rappers. He should've handpicked ones he thought was good to reply to. His "they need to try harder" reply was kinda lame. Also Lupe keeps talking about how he keep stealing his ideas and he stays quiet, but let Drake say something...that should tell you something imo. Kendrick dope though..
Royce ruined his rapper mystique fckin around what Instagram lives and poking lyrical monsters... He can try to play victim but the internet has receipts...
I hoping Kendrick does to drake what Lupe did to Royce. Them bars to make your soul burn slow. The type of bars that have you looking in the mirror and reconsider your life. Attacking all your insecurities ones you didn’t even know about till they were laid out on a track for all to hear. To be honest Royce pushed himself into a corner with all the live’s the podcast he left himself over exposed. All Lupe said was why are the rappers talking instead of rapping. when the rapping finally started Lupe came back with surgical strikes. Don’t know if Kendrick has enough stuff on drake that drake hasn’t already exposed or embraced. So unsure if he will be able to cut deep like Lupe was able to.
I appreciate them both, I appreciate the culture, but like Whoa...... Royce is a top tier MC, but... Lupe is elite. That's all. 4:31-4:50 is insanely stellar . Lupe is different.
"Your MENTAL HEALTH HOTLINE, I think that shit is growin up. But you the last nigga that should be picking that phone up... I spit your verse just to get immersed inside my enemy, and to remind you that they gotta go through you just to get to me." The last line: "and to remind you that they gotta go through you just to get to me" In the previous stanza he mentioned Royce's mental health hotline/awareness. I take this as anyone who wants to challenge me must have some mental health issues, like someone who would call Royce's hotline. And of course the obvious sentiment of i'm placed higher on the list than you.
This is definitely some ether, no vaseline, bitch in u level shit. I see it's a bunch of fans in the chat in they feelings this is CRAZY and it's OVER!!!

Perfect explanation
@@ngonga1641 right
@@Yo-oz6pj but the problem is even if he is bodied those Stan's won't admit it. His fan base literally won't let him lose. Just like with Drake when Pusha T dragged him
@@Yo-oz6pj There's a major difference between Royce and Em even if their lyrical abilities is similar and that is battle rap as a whole. When Em disses you, he sounds as if he is coming for no one but you, he does not lolli gag on the beat like Royce does, he does not jab unless its a one verse feature thing.
When a full diss track is dedicated from Em to you he is only on your ass and no one else's, which is why I believe Em is a much better match up for Lupe.
Do I believe Em is better? Possibly no. Do I believe he is a lot more direct and vicious? Definitely yes.
i see why Mos Def declined to battle him.. Mos Def yall!

@@rasaanshakur9491 Em is not that hard, he is for mainstream mofos because they're able to make good music. Most of them can't battle rap or truly freestyle, those are the people who didn't make it to the mainstream. Em was one of the few who's high tier lyrical and able to make popular songs.
The most annoying thing ever is when you mention Lupe to someone and they call him "the 'Kick, Push' dude". Y'all better respect this man pen. There are very, very few even in close proximity of his caliber.
Facts. For me it usually goes like this:
“You ever listen to FIASCO?”
“…you mean the ‘show goes on’ guy?”
“Bye”
Just because he's more than his song, don't mean he's NOT the "kick, push" dude. What if I was like, "who did that Kick, Push masterpiece?" You gonna NOT say Lupe cause you think it's disrespectful???? It's not like it was someone else.

@Zeadwing2pointoh so they can have the truth haphazardly thrown in their face.
This line buried the man unquestionably.

It was a complex way of what Eminem told MGK " Cause he knows long as I'm Shady, he's gon' have to live in my shadow" that's royce everytime he's in an interview they ask about Eminem more
This line is hilarious…..is he implying that Eminem writes Royce’s lyrics 🤣😂🤣
@@jasonthompson6789 I think its more of a you will always be over shadowed by eminem
@@ThanosTheTitan93 idk if it was "more complex". Complexity isn't comparable here as they have 2 different contexts offering similar meanings
In response to MGK saying he'll have intercourse with Kim, Em' says
"How the fuck can Him and I battle?
He'll have to fuck Kim in my flannel
And I'll give him my sandals, cos he knows as long as i'm Shady
he's gon' have to live in my shadow"
This is more for wordplay on Eminem's own nickname and complete rebuttal, even pointing out the similarities or desperate measures MGK went through in his career and 'Rap Devil' to copy Eminem as a wannabe, even wanting to fuck his own ex-wife.
In response to Royce mentioning the love of skin colour difference Lupe apparently has whilst also mentioning himself as an untouchable lyricist, Lupe says (it's already quoted above, just gonna simplify here) "Your lyricism is superficial, even though you come across as personable and likeable like Eminem, he's real, i don't need to point out the difference, you know it"
This is more for rebuttal and commentary on Royce's twisted perspective and perhaps contradictory statements. Royce calling Lupe out for loving "white people more than blacks" but is closest of friends with **the** white guy in rap, always defends him and has great love for him, yet even though Eminem as a character is a gimmick, his pen isn't. But Royce's pen is, despite being so close to 1 of the greatest rappers ever
“The Problem is that you ain’t neva had no Impact.” Killed em wit truth.
That was the line that ended it, the if it wasn't for/four BODIED him and the rest was overkill don't bring yo ass back..

My homie REFUSES to believe Lu did this off the top of his head, but I've been trying to tell him Lu is an alien amongst aliens. Easily one of the best writers ever period and I'm not restricting this to rap. Dude is a legend 12 times over.
Jay Z does this where the essence of the verse we hear is freestyled/improvised but then improved upon afterward. What we hear is not a freestyle but it is derived from one. Some of these bars could have been word for word, flow for flow how Lu freestyled them. Based on the bars of this track it's likely that most of them were improved upon with slight touches and additions after the original freestyle which definitely consisted of more ideas, some of which are left out of the final product. This technique always produces a beautiful paradox; a polished yet rough around the edges composition that is always original and unique.

anything else? just take the joke as is
I have no idea why Eminem has someone like Royce around him who judges and hates his skin colour constantly.

@@xposebandwagons7777 supporting medicine that can help you not die early to an illness makes him a sheep? I think YOU'RE the sheep fam, lemme explain.
The Flu shot; it's a vaccine. It's not being politicized right now, and the flu is not as deadly as it was about a century ago. Right now, no one really cares about it. Perfectly "normal" for society.
COVID-19 vaccine is overly politicized because, you know, political power over human life like we're all not gonna die one day. Vaccines share the purpose of helping your body fight off a illness that can potentially kill you, almost a "work smarter, not harder" medicine for your immune system.
Flu Vaccine: "oh it's fine"

It may reference both the Salem witch trials as well as Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Do you ppl not understand that less is more? There is a stock thing as wafted bars and doing too much. Lupe did a little bit of everything. Royce talks about checking boxes. Lupe checked boxes. He came direct, he had entendres, over the head bars, aggression, and showed control.
Facts! Royce was gaslighting because he knows he got smoked💨. Yet he on live talking bout “checking boxes” fuck outta here Royce if you waving the white flag just say that! Lml. as if Lupe ain’t been one of the greatest lyrical & conceptual rap artists we’ve witnessed from old school to current legends. Royce should be practicing on his response instead of gossiping on live about it 😭
Man what r yall listening to. Yall clearly just don't like royce cuz its not even close. Never seen so much bias in my life.
This man lupe rambling off beat for 6 mins and yall gassin this. Sleep
Royce ain’t been the same since this…..

You got Royce out here real emotional, hurt.
@We Back Royce kicked it off first and took it personal. Lupe kept it to battling "I'm not really interesting in battling Royce, but don't get it fucked up, that doesn't mean I won't cook n****s if you keep pushing buttons. I don't want to do that personally but if you want to make a professional fool of yourself running up against a demon, go ahead" That's all he said.
Royce then got in his feelings and called him a bitch.
His bad. Popping all that shit and got his head knocked clean off lol
@@percival6815 Damn, any chance you got a link where I can watch Lupe lay out that warning verbally? Lmao. And is Royce calling Lu a bitch what made Lu do the 9 minute freestyle that apparently started the back and forth?
Calm down dude.

As a Royce stan since Slaughterhouse. (being honest, I was a kid when he first came out.) LUPE absolutely DESTROYED Royce. I'm happy too because as much as i love Royce, He deserved all the credit he got with Prhyme, Slaughterhouse and his last 3 or 4 albums and Bar Exams, He was getting really cocky and him walking around his house all 2020 because of the Rona, he felt himself too much and he got too political and caught up on what's happening on TV. too opinionated. Cant blame him tho, he was stuck inside all day. And then Royce was weird on the podcast, i guess its their "friend dynamic" but it didnt seem geniune.
Lupe is a goddamn monster.
Lupe said you’re only worth half an SLR
He was mad 💀
This is why brother lu told brother Royce to “get the practicin” 🤣
I don’t want to say this- but round 1 goes to Lupe. Bar for bar, no watered down transitions, no wasted words. I Can hear him clearly, just enough punches and wordplay without unnecessarily making it too complex.
I love both of them but I think Lupe took this one.
I’m not sure....I fux wit lupe. I think Mural is one of the greatest songs ever. But Royce jam packed Lambda with all kinda supreme rap techniques. No fluff
@@AviatorMediaGroup13 The whole track was fluff, faux-depth filled technique.
Pretty much every round will go yo lupe, he's just better
If u cant understand royce bars just say that.
@@KNEWRETRO being on the internet you can say whatever you want bruh - don’t make it true or informed. Everybody don’t see it the way you do- this whole process subjective, is what it is.

Been said it, I’ll say it again, LUPE IS THE GREATEST LYRICIST ALIVE. You ain’t gotta like his music, it’s not for everyone but this dude is an absolute MASTER of the craft and ALL of his music requires more than one listen before you can even begin to fathom what he’s saying. Dude is a GENIUS.

"Look at all the ASSISTS, nigga, if it wasn't for Premier
You wouldn't be, if it wasn't for ___, if it wasn't for ___
If it wasn't for, ___ if it wasn't for ___, nigga, I got a dozen MORE "
lets look at the *assists* and add them up:
dj premier = 1
+ add slaughterhouse = 4 members (he said "if it wasnt for ____" 4 times without a name after hinting he's referring to slaughterhouse)
+ d12/dirty dozen = 12 members (6 members each with an alter ego making it 12 people)
therefore a total of "ASSISTS" is made up of" 12 (d12) + 1 (Premier) + 4 (slaughterhouse) = 17.. yup adds up to the number 17....which is a PRIME number (i.e. a number that is divisible only by itself and 1) in mathematics ...this is a reference to PRhyme(Prime).
If Lupe planned this , then f_cken genius. Not to mention 59 (5"9) is a prime number as well... Ya neh aliens..... Miscellaneous ✌🏿
Idk about the prime part but if it wasn't for/four
1. 4(Slaughterhouse)
2. For Eminem
3. For Dj Premier
4. Possibly DJ Who Kid with bar exam?
Also Fore meaning toward or direct. Or in the presence of. That's like a entrende to an infinite power 😂

I was waiting for this all morning. Been checking for the killas response as soon as Royce dropped that "silence of the lambda" Knew lupe was gonna waste no time going for the kill.
[Intro]
Say yeah, 'Trakk!
I apologize man, it was last minute
So me ask for this in advance
SLR, yeah
Said they lean on me
Niggas tried to dream on me
Told that nigga he can lean on me
Fall asleep and have a dream on me
Nigga, yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Verse]
You see, it takes niggas weeks
They need a comfort zone and some beats
Lollygaggers to poly matters that go over responses
Get all layered and technical in they content
Press record, then I bring the receipts
Lambda lambda lambda, I think that shit was sweet
I wish I could just kiss you on the cheek
Nerds have they hands in everything
Gangsters won't even touch the police
Won't you tell your niggas get that
Take some of those cool fullies and go and get some of our shit back
Your problem is you ain't never have no impact
Kit-Kats and chit-chat and syntax won't make up for how much you sit back
I think that nigga scared
He never leave Heaven 'cause he already dead
Damn, nigga are you insane?
What's the point in knowing how to point and aim
If the niggas you gon' bang look exactly the same?
That ain't motherfucking cool, that's a motherfucking shame
This ain't no motherfucking game
That's why I think you are a motherfucking lame
We both wear glasses, the difference is
I was in school thinking it was cool, you was thinking of skipping classes
Listening to your track record, I could see you were skipping classics
I did it on my first one and delivered to the masses
Your songs are immemorable, your verses are impenetrable
I ain't even listen to that diss record
I only fuck with you 'cause your interviews
I ain't even trip when you called me a bitch
I was like, "Look at Salem, calling me a witch"
Look at how they made him, look how much they gave him
Look at all the assists, nigga, if it wasn't for Premier
You wouldn't be, if it wasn't for, if it wasn't for
If it wasn't for, if it wasn't for, nigga, I got a dozen more
Hov think I'm Hov, Nas think I'm Nas
That's the trick, you ain't gotta think when niggas already think you are
Muah!
Your story crooked and your book too, pass the dumb shit
But you would shoot somebody's son holding Sun Chips
I wish they would've left Biz here, and fucking took you
And all your hyper-technical hypotheticals
In life, I've never met with you, from a distance, I accepted you
From the podcast, I been kind of skeptical
This ain't our first clash, this is just one of the several
I ain't trying to bash, but it was like you was off your schedule
You was throwing more than jabs, I was like, "This nigga's incredible"
We had to fucking edit you
I don't know what vegan Detroit vegetable Dr. Sebi diet infected you
To think that we share the same metrics or somehow I was less than you
And I was the type of nigga that you could get really disrespectful to
I ain't never lectured you, I get energetic and joke
But in real talk, nigga, I ain't never disrespected you
I'ma punch you in your fucking face and we all think it's silly
I'm thinking like "Won't this bitch nigga clean up his fucking city?"
I mean you got all of the clout, know how to bring all them niggas out
You can walk the walk, I mean, we seen you walk all over your house
But me and Mickey is geeks because you got some heat
Like I didn't go to the closet and put guns all over the couch
Your mental health hotline, I think that shit is grown up
But you're the very last nigga that should be picking that phone up
I spit your verse to get immersed inside my enemy
And to remind you nigga, I got to go through you just to get to me
Subtle subordination
Perpetual sidekick, nigga sort of a station that you used to
So you ain't got to get all extremely too personal on your albums
When you not surrounded by bigger artists to fucking boost you
Nigga, you called me, I didn't recruit you
But no regrets, I take it as a test
You said, "Lupe, you gotta have some grace
Not be so haphazardly to put the truth all in they face"
Now that I think about it, that's kind of half-and-half
If a nigga asked you for the strap, why would you keep it in the stash?
If you ran the world, we'd get defeated in a flash
You really gonna be the boss, can't keep secrets from the staff
I learned that in the streets, nigga sweeping trash
Keeping my city clean while you was talking 'bout beating a nigga's ass
That shit is wack, long live backpack rap
Fuck these Monster-drinking, new-age conscious thinking
Farrakhan today, gangster tomorrow, one foot in they sorrow
Another foot in the trap
Killers who easily triggered by a little niggas attacks
Who have the audacity to ask rappers to rap
Facts!

Ayy, ayy, listen, I ain't done, nigga
Check this shit out, look, ayy
[Verse 2]
In seven minutes he did it, if he knew how to freestyle
He could've rented Heaven for seven minutes
And been done what needed to be done by the second sentence
All these extra innings may come across as master
But my impression's apprentice
Your penmanship has the fingerprints of a gimmick
And affection and the intimacy of impressions of that nigga you friends with
I ain't gotta say it to say it
I can't even blame you, the nigga's one of my favorites
Fuck that, back to my status
All icy, talk spicy like the House of Atreides
Inwardly successful, and outwardly I've made it
Clearly, if I was a regular rapper, you wouldn't even come near me
This nigga think he Siri, the answer to your queries
What's Siri to Steve Jobs? A Budden to Tahiry?
I'm excessively cheery, promote my niggas' theories
What's an alien to a pentagon report? I see your brother tryna cheerlead
That's what he's supposed to do
And everybody that's fucking close to you
'Posed support, push you forth
And calm your black ass down 'cause they ain't put you in The Source
You chose violence
I just wanna know when you gon' respond to Osyris
And go to E.O.Dub, battle in front a judge
Instead of hitting Smack and tryna entertain the thugs
Come and fuck with us, nerds!

@@syckmusyck6593 Lmao Royce has bars but its formulaic cypher rap. Lupe murked him here. Done.
Don't know what you guys listened to. But the reason you needed a lyric screen with royce is because you wouldn't be able to process any of his lyric the first time around because its too deep! Can't say the same here. But still good tho
Maybe its a reach, but the "you don't gotta think when niggas already think you are" is probably a nod to Descartes' cogito "I think therefore I am" and he ends the line with "muah" which sounds like the french word for "I" (moi), also Descasrtes is french, genius Lupe
For pretty much everyone else I would say that's a reach but with Lupe you might just be right but that's part of the fun right?
I think he's just saying that Nas thinks he's one of the greatest and Jov thinks the same so you don't have to think about whether you're the greatest when some of the greatest are telling you that you are.
Y’all both are right it’s called a double y’all know the rest lol
@@dealowmorgan885 although I love Og's thought process I doubt we can both be right in this instance because both conclusions contradict each other. One is saying "I think therefore I am" while the other says I don't need to think when the greats already think I am.

I hoping Kendrick does to drake what Lupe did to Royce. Them bars to make your soul burn slow. The type of bars that have you looking in the mirror and reconsider your life. Attacking all your insecurities ones you didn’t even know about till they were laid out on a track for all to hear.
To be honest Royce pushed himself into a corner with all the live’s the podcast he left himself over exposed. All Lupe said was why are the rappers talking instead of rapping. when the rapping finally started Lupe came back with surgical strikes.
Don’t know if Kendrick has enough stuff on drake that drake hasn’t already exposed or embraced. So unsure if he will be able to cut deep like Lupe was able to.
