A Lupe and Royce track with a Neptunes beat is what I need

Lupe and Royce are the best lyricist of our time.

[@MrJduke40]

Two of the greats of our time but there are others in this conversation.

[@Trussme96]

@@MrJduke40 They are definitely two of the most technical and respected lyricists.

[@joshnippleton3449]

The Lupe Slaughterhouse era was the greatest.

[@MsTeamBrisk]

Royce tryna get his steps in 😂

[@DulaniWilson]

That is scary, music has been devalued so much, and Lupe right re music customisation being the next level. What is art without the artist? Jay Z suing a company right now that using semblance of his voice to make gimmicky - meme-ish content.

[@GBullockNC]

This like watching Naruto and Goku talk

[@jonnydash2974]

😂

[@GanjaEHonda]

Nah Goku is dumb 😂

[@thePocketWatch45]

so who is Goku?

michael puente Madara and final form Cell then. Lol

Naruto is stupid and goku is dumb tho XD

where tf royce walking to? Mecca?

Thats cute.....its a thing called pacing. Alot of folks do it

lol, he's just like me. I always walk around my place when I'm on the phone.

@@Lexyboogie same lol

[@jordan440]

I thought I was the only one who paced lol. Idk why but it’s like a habit of mine. It’s like I get the most creativity from just pacing alone

5’9 walk so dam much he walk his ass right out the conversation.

2 of my favourites, they need to!

[@blackpixels]

Great Conversation... and I appreciate Royce's take on how he approaches the Art.

[@maverickstyles9126]

The lives with Lupe, Joe and Royce is like Chess boxing for me. Speaking of chess boxing, I would for Lupe to go live with GZA or even Killah Priest.

[@SPOOK1999]

As a student of the game, I needed to hear this. 2 grandmasters of

[@terrillmaxwell3862]

I agree

[@calel5470]

Royce's perspective about not trying to blend in and be relevant must have been realized after the last Slaughterhouse album

[@MrJduke40]

That album musicly fucking sucks and the hooks are also bad

[@calel5470]

@@MrJduke40 It had a few standouts but I agree, it doesn't hold up as a project. From what the MCs have said about it in retrospect, it sounds like an out-of-touch Eminem was forcing a mainstream sound on them based on trends and the group didn't push back enough.

[@nickgoodlock263]

@@calel5470 actually Royce put his hand up and said alot of the problems with that album was on him (Royce), cause he was trying to chase something that their core fans didn't really want to hear from them.

[@44_gladiator]

I think it was a mess because of the clash of the 2. If they picked a side that album would have been phenomenal. Even a full trap album if you will. Would have been one of the best trap albums ever made.

[@abel6297]

@@calel5470The production was terrible, if DJ Premier, Alchemist & Madlib were behind it, it would have been really good but Noooooooo Eminem had to add those pop artists in the hooks and beats, some songs don't need hooks because they ruin the flow

[@AIRJAVITUBE]

Love this convo as a lyricist...

[@christopherboyd6536]

Lupe Fiasco Royce some of the best Lyricist ever

[@YoungMasala]

Wow they both right but Lupe being safe he knows too much and everything early

[@ShadStu804]

Fuck with both these good brothas 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@vendeezel]

We don't look at it this way cuz these ppl are alive and with us right now; But our artists are the great philosophers of our time. From music 2 comedy, there's so much wisdom that can be gleaned from the creative mind forged from experience.

Can royce stop walking everywhere man lol get a spot

[@Harvester88]

Man is definitely one of the pacing around type lol, he makes me anxious and want to pace too 😂.

[@ESSBoss]

Drogas light wasnt under atlantic but im sure lupe knows better than i about his career but yes you need to be you and let the people accept it Dont force art thats true i agree wit royce just follow your heart and creativity and let the audience come to it..... magic

[@r3yez18]

So many gems in this convo. Holy crap that was sick

[@spanonemusic]

As a creator, I agree with Royce on not being an employee of the people. The best art comes from the heart.

[@traceyhopkins3698]

That's how you know these two are masters. It's all semantics with their respective perspective.

[@YosumiJaa]

"We have a lot a powers we kinda overlook. We gotta use our power and TELL them what they like. And we gotta make them CHOOSE!" *Lupe laughs because he KNOWS he's right*

[@simbalesliechoto8663]

I swear Royce is walking in circles. The ceiling is making me dizzy 🤣

I'm waiting on him to trip over a cord, or something.. Even a stubbed toe would suffice lol

I wholeheartedly agree.

[@chrism.nsarille2842]

lyrically hands down.. some good artist out there these are some of the best. you know want makes this even crazier is they actually talking.. could be beef but they learning from each other shits dope!!

[@Kevin-kl9gz]

It's funny when Lupe's head is on Royces shoulders around 8:14

[@chyname]

Lupe a wise man

[@silvanus623]

I feel they are in 2 very different places spiritually, there both right on the perspective of there level, but while Royce is still trying 2 learn about himself through himself lupe has already done that and is now looking 2 other angles to learn about himself.

[@LookingForAName...]

Interesting perspective, I totally agree that at some point you can't just look inside for growth. You have to take in what's around you and express it through your filter.

[@mr.caldwell7065]

Royce has gotten that old school rock and roll..fuck the fans...I'm the prize attitude lol.....ok. the sheer arrogance of it all is funny....not really a fan but I think I kinda like it and offended at the same time lol. Good job Royce lol

[@JAYPHOCUS]

Till this day royce is still walking....lol

[@frankylo_4802]

Lupe and royce prolly got mad shit we ain't hear yet

[@WeBbillionairz]

Why can't Royce sit down somewhere 🤳🏽🚶🏾‍♂️🤨

I feel Royce about the "perfect verse". I try 2 do that all the time

Can definitely be a challenge

Royce dont have any chairs in his house

[@sedaotieno]

Goat to Goat

[@only1cashewz840]

The reason Royce has a problem with doing commercial songs is because he can’t make them he’s a lyricist but he can’t make a fun song that’s entertaining and lyrical so he became hateful of making that type of music

[@cgpriya7526]

Do u have today's live that is 15 may 2020

[@heelspawn8023]

Royce's pet alligator still chasing him around his house, I see lol

Royce da 5’ 9 : I don’t care what fans like. The Fans : were not really into your music

[@edwardpolenzani1039]

I agree more with Royce on his approach to creativity. When Lupe tries to do something too outside of his zone it totally sounds forced (lasers, friend of the people)

[@edwardpolenzani1039]

Song do matter tho Lupe. Lasers and food and liquor 2 are proof of that...Lupe never lost a step with his rapping ability but I never go back to those albums

[@bossx5178]

They should just put in a track

[@frostbiteblackice]

Royce...isn’t on the same wave lemf as Lupe...at all. Loop is mad cerebral, dude just thinks so clear and sees errthang for what it is.

Definitely talk to Crook

where is royce going? Lol

That’s why he isn’t that successful or more known or regarded. Not layered enough or nuanced which is a right but not really advantageous
