@@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.

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.

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.

Chill Senpai chill !! this beat so dreamy cant believe Royce is catching a beat down on a beat this smooth. Lupe & Royce drops tomorrow, grabbing a seat and popcorn Update: Senpai Lu broke so many hearts calling the pod off, when its all said and done we hope they bring it back. PS : Royce will be needing Better Help more than his fans .
