Royce Da 5'9 Interview Talks Lupe, Issues With Vlad, Detroit Culture and much more. (Full)

And he only agreed to do it because he raps well and he has a different perspective. My point is Royce talked about rapping better than everyone, but when Lupe rapped *AT* Royce, Royce did not rap back. Instead he started talking about his inner peace lol.

The beef with lupe and mickey if you view it from a different perspective altogether, royce did not intend to body either 1 of them with silence of the lambda, he just wanted to prove his point that he writes better than them. Lupe did a "diss track" not displaying the lyrical penmanship royce challenged them to. Even though lupe can write stuff like mural. Same with mickey. He had a very homophonic heavy multiple meanings disstrack ehich was not either thatpersonal. When it comes to pure writing skill to this point then royce is atop.

He wanted to be as clear as possible and be direct. We all know Lupe’s lyric game is out of this world so he doesn’t need to prove that on a diss. We already know both rappers are dope so doing one song doesn’t prove anything. If you want to compare lyrics then compare their albums not their disses where they were both going light. Royce’s track wasn’t even better than the majority of his songs. Lupe being a better lyricist doesn’t take anything away from Royce cause he’s still dope in his own right, but honestly this shit was months ago and Royce seems like he’s grown and moved on from this.

The only basis they have for hating on Em is that (1) Em is white and hip hop is black music, so y shd a white person be dominant, tell the truth that is their REAL issue. Every effort Em put in: -was hard work, -he didnt steal anything for anybody -signed up more black rappers than white rappers -given over $180million to detroit city over the years, if he didnt sign up detroit rappers like u kids want, his money has gone to make sure detroit resisdents lives are better -he put detrioit on the map, if for no other reason this here is the main and only reason you should respect the man
