Royce Da 5’9” - Silence Of The Lambda (Lupe Fiasco Response) (Produced By Carlos “6 July” Broady)

[Morose Polymath]

Breh, Royce Da 5'9 copping pleas...he said "i dont have that kind of energy in my heart to go at lupe personally"

Lupe humbled him real quick

got nikkas taking the high road now to save face

You really hate to see it

 

[threattonature]

Where the rest of that video at though? Cause shyt look like it was about to go left after Royce said that. Soon as nikkas start saying "don't do that" you know shyt about to pop off.

I think Royce realizes he is to blame for how everything played out, that's why his energy is how it is now. Insecurity and arrogance is a dangerous cocktail, pause.

Lupe came into this whole discussion trying to tell Royce that none of them are the best...Royce came in saying I'm better than yall, you and them...which is cool...but then when the competitive/battle rap energy gets presented your insecurity makes you feel that someone is trying to disrespect you as a man and you try to turn it into something else...when its clearly just 100% about rapping. Smh, dude got some issues still..he is the last person that should be picking up that phone

 

[Monoblock]

Fa'sho 100 grand brotha


But

Where


Lupe inserted himself into all of this along with inserting himself into a live where he got called a bytch (coming in yelling and screaming like a scorned woman, while being misinformed, he got what was coming to him) wasnt about no dis records from jump. Royce rap was a reply to Lupe trying to rap every other minute on instagram becaue he was in his feelings.

Royce isnt even thinking about Factz, he's been having fun that two-faced brotha this the whole time. The greatest way to beat a troll is to troll them, because most can give but cant take it. Lupe went to shambles .

Even though I see where you coming from I respectfully disagree. Drinks on me whenever I'm in your city.

I disagree that it's 10/10 rapping because making meaningful points, making your shyt digestible and connecting with the audience are all parts of 'rapping'

over complex ramblings about nothing ain't elite spitting

elite spitting is saying real shyt WHILE also being technically on point

i feel you on that but too some nikkas complex aint the same thing to the next dude....Some nikkas think x rapper is simple and easy to get while others think he's too complex...and vice versa.

so idk TO ME i get what royce be saying and appreciate this style more than the next dude.. with that said , lupe beat his ass regardless lol

 

[Yayo Toure]

Royce is a high level MC and one of my favorites, but all his flaws are on display. The total lack of self awareness, accountability and not being able to laugh at himself have always been his downfall. He could have been a star in the early 2000s, maybe even finessed a platinum plaque or two, but instead his career never panned out.

 

[TheObserver]

If I was Mickey I wouldn't make a diss for Royce..

After watching those Lives Last Night.. Royce gone have Mickey trying to "Check Every Box" LoL... and that diss gone be wack.. but we'll see..

And Mickey should never diss Joe after What happened in that room with Raekwon lol

Mickey is too afraid to step on toes and too ready to say all the guys he's speaking on are very
nice on the mic.
That's why Royce called him out with the Lupe riding
He asked him straight is Lupe this or that, then the deflection started.

I won't front though, Royce being more mellow now sucks if we're seeking more battle raps.
Seems like bro is over it, even the first "diss" barely counted as some kind of all out disrespect.
Seems to me, it's more like Lupe is the one who was hurt but he's shown himself to be an emotional cat
in the past.

Real shyt, likewise

 

[NoHalfWay]

This whole shyt blew up because of Royce’s ego. Bruh I watched this whole shyt transpire…He didn’t want people to perceive him getting punked by a “nerd rapper” like Lupe, cuz Lupe was raising his voice being animated about RAPPING. He had to keep up that tough guy image talkin bout ringing Lupe’s neck in person

Royce is the nikka that started the name calling and threats that took it away from RAPPING. Then he tried to say Lupe wasn’t a killer on the mic, focusing on one specific target and opponent in a rap battle wasn’t his lane and something he was incapable of.

Lupe showed him differently now all of a sudden he’s taking the high road. I don’t see how nikkas defending this throwing stones and hiding yo hand shyt

 

[Mission249]

Are we sure that was a Lupe diss? Just sounded like a lot of random words, but nothing really landed and I was getting bored midway thru.
I'm a huge Royce and Lupe fan so I was excited to hear this at first, and the first bunch of posts said it was fire so I kept listening, but I just left disappointed.

Yeah this is the way i see it mostly, recovery Royce is a different guy. Breh has been in some serious beef over some simple stuff that escalated before/almost ended his own career. At this point he would have to be angry to go in on someone seriously.

But like he said when he was in that battle mode on Bar Exam 4 asking for smoke there was nothing but crickets and silence from his peers
Royce checking temperatures is his way of finding something out about folks, whether as a person or professionally in regards to the craft. In todays world thick skin is a necessity. Everyone's perspective isnt the same on topics. That convo with Mickey was dope if you break it down. Its layers to how folks perceive shyt. Breh is an advocate for therapy and is approaching this whole thing almost like psychiatrist/therapy session imo. Im definitely not taking any of this serious, the discussion is fun for me.

Its a shame cats fell out though.

You're exactly right. Royce came to a gun fight with a katana. A katana is dope af and can get somebody the fukk outta here...but bro, you're in a gun fight, the fukk are you doing?

What's doubly ill is you brought a sword to a gun fight and got gunned the fukk down by a swordsman.

 

[Rice N Beans]

Keep listening to both and this is a very skillful track. Royce was definitely on display here in terms of prowess. Unfortunately he got dunked on hours later.
