Lol not at all. 05-08 Lupe was not to be fukked with. He dropped Fahrenheit 1 and 2, food and liquor and the cool in that span.

Royce has never been able to make anything close to failure and the original food and liquor.

and that’s what seperates the two. Lupe can and has done what Royce does but Royce can’t do what Lupe does. He tried to redo mural and it fell FLAT!!!

Royce was just as good or better a rapper than Lupe was in those years. He may not have made better music (legal shyt, label limbo) but he put out nothing but heat in those years and was definitely a top-tier artist albeit an underachiever

I’d take his mixtapes over The Cool and Fnl any day. Not saying they’re universally considered better but personally I’d go with TBE 1 and 2 over anything Lupe put out in those years

Malcolm X and the shyt he did to em and d12 is proof enough that he was also definitely a better battler (than he is now) and would’ve given ANYONE a run, incl Lupe, which was my original point

his energy was just different back then, shyt was perfect for beef

what’s your point? That’s not a crazy take. TBE 1 and 2 are fire and fukk and I don’t even like The Cool. Royce had story telling and he had bars. Delivery, wit, energy, presence, shyt, everything. He was a top 10 rapper aback then easy.

not everyone was going crazy over Lupe nerd raps. It’s a matter of taste champ

eminem gave royce so much cache he thinks (and has always thought) hes more important 1 and 2 hes a better mc....than he really is

yes royce is nice but he isnt some A1 lyricist like a big pun a nas a lupe sorry

im pretty sure during SH active days, 5'9 was generally considered the best/most balanced of the group ... imo royce generally have the better verses in his collabs with eminem too

the coli heel turn on royce been interesting to observe lol

tho to be fair he deserved the backlash for not responding to lupe

“professional opinion” :mjlol:

man get this fukk shyt all the way out of here

Nas also co-signed Jungle and Horse and Jay-Z Memphis bleek and countless others but looks like their uh “professional” takes didn’t match up with reality, so in honesty they’re just about as hit or miss with their opinions as you and I

get your head out Lupe ass, tone down the stannin
