Reference tracks are not equal to someone ghost writing all your material otherwise a lot of your favorite rappers don't write they stuff.


You’ve got reference tracks for Nas, Jay-Z, Black Thought, Kendrick Lamar, and J.Cole? Because those are amongst my favorite rappers.


Go ahead and link them breh

Whatever you say. We wouldn't have had drake's either if not for envy.

This thread ain't about that so I gonna drag it out but reference tracks have been used by a many artist including rappers and doesn't take away from there skill or penmanship.

Why are telling me this like I wasn't one of the first people in this thread saying Royce got killed and actually quoting Lupe's bars? Why are you telling me this like I actually like Royce?

This whole post is confusing me. lol

And what does Push and Drake have to do with any of this? Neither of them nikkas rapped exceptionally well on their disses, so the comparison doesn't even compute.

I'm just confusion right now :jbhmm:

Because lupe wasn't levels below Royce on any parts of that track.

nd only mentioned drake/pusha because it was brought up on JBP and is a solid point. Maybe not towards you, but more in general

Idk why the last part made me lol so much.

Can somebody give me cliffs on this whole thing? I guess it started with Royce basically calling out rappers who “think they are better than” him, so did he drop the Lupe diss after, then it continued from there?

Ransom or RJ said they’re the best

Royce went on a IG rant saying rappers are gonna have to prove it

multiple IG live discussions can be found on YouTube involving all of the above + Lupe, Mickey and battle rappers

lupe wants Royce and others to prove it on EOW. Royce think that’s beneath him so a EOW dude dissed him

on 1 of the lives, Lupe got called a bytch by Royce then did a 9 min freestyle about him

Royce responded with his diss

lupe mocked his diss right after it dropped then dropped his real response

Royce did a live with Mickey saying how he really don’t wanna go hard at Lupe then Mickey told Royce he’s gonna diss him because he threw a jab at him and here we are

The most potent and hurtful thing Lu said was that line that said:

"Hov think I'm Hov, Nas think I'm Nas, that's the trick you ain't gotta think, when you aleady what nikkas think you are" :wow: Then he blew a kiss afterwards cuz that shyt was gorgeously delivered
Lupe Fiasco is phenomenal

I missed most of the IG live today, but the gist I got echoed what we already know: Royce came to play and Lupe came to win. Someone brought up that Daylyt would smoke everyone and he admitted he would rather lose, so he can learn from the experience and continue developing his craft. He’s still studying other rappers right now, Dinosaurs was Homeboy Sandman-inspired. Confirmed there won’t be an SLR 4 anytime soon, no matter what happens next, he’s done. Unsurprised by Wraith, more like what he expected Mickey to do based on his work in SOSA. No feelings whatsoever toward Royce, so it’s not a Cudi situation, just can’t fukk with him anymore after all this nonsense. Lupe didn’t think anything in his diss song was “too personal”, but he may just be desensitized. Most of what he mentioned is public knowledge, it’s not like he went after his family history of substance abuse or other real low blows like that.

Naw he was emotional using biz death as a punchline to attack Royce damn death who said that shyt in a battle Lu hurt but yall groupies...how he gonna say what someone rode coattails of others if it wasn't for Jay Kanye co sign let's be real..
Lupe has one song with each of them, and the song w Kanye is on Kanye’s album.

Royce has multiple albums with Co-starred by Premier, Eminem, and Budden, etc. book of Ryan is literally the first solo project of royces without someone else’s name on it that made any noise. And I owned a bad meets evil vinyl in 1999. 2 decades of being a professional co headliner, hell the podcast was featuring lupe.

The line about he wish he had died instead of Biz set a different tone.

Look at what Mickey just did with Royce. And as much attention and props that that's getting, people are still thinking about SL3 because of how 'personal' the shots were in comparison. Mickey said plenty of shyt directly straight at Royce, a lot of the same shyt Lupe did and styled the fukk out while doing it. What he didn't do was say I wish you died instead of this person lol.

And if that's how Lupe feel that's how he feel. I'm saying the only way to respond to that is to take it further. nikkas forget we made it all the way up to Nas building a life size Jay Z robot to lynch on stage. :laff:
