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.

[@DMary27]

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.

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.

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.
