Can somebody give me a cliff notes of what this is about.... I'm assuming it stemmed from that "rappers gotta prove they're better than me" shyt... Which I didn't follow cause that thread was way too long....are they for real beefing? They don't do the podcast anymore?
Quick little run down
Royce and Lupe did a IG live after RJ Payne made a statement saying him and Ransom are the two best rappers currently. Royce said rappers gonna have to prove they're the best if they keep saying it. Lupe told Royce he's not the best, he's good, but not the best. Lupe doesn't think any of the rappers saying they're the best are the best. Lupe was saying to prove who's the best they need to go to "End of the Week" and enter the competition to prove who's the best rapper objectively.
That same day Royce, Lupe, Mickey, Ransom, RJ Payne all got on IG Live and had banter back and forth, it was relatively friendly, though got heated at moments.
In subsequent days, there would be random lives between Lupe/Royce/Mickey, sometimes all 3 together, but usually 2 of the 3, kinda amping up a potential Royce and Lupe battle on URL. To the point Beasley (Co-owner), reached out to Mickey several times to set it up, but Lupe really had no interest, while Royce low key wanted to do it. This is when it started getting a little bit more "heated"
Lux and Mook were debating who'd win between Royce and Lupe in a battle, Lux had Lu, Mook had Royce. Lux called Lupe to amp it up. It kinda came to a head when Royce was on IG live with Lux/Mook/Mickey Factz and Guru (Jay's engineer). Guru/Lux and Mook were amping up the Royce and Lupe battle saying it needs to happen ASAP on Smack or RBE or any battle league. Lupe finally joins in on the convo, and basically said he doesn't really want to battle Royce, but will if nikkas keep talking shyt, he said he'll basically destroy Royce. Royce called him a "bytch" and said he'd "Break his neck" if he talked like that to him in person. That's what caused the real rift. Lupe left the live, got on his own live and did a freestyle for like 9 minutes getting at Royce, and then dropped a quick 2 minute diss (It was intended to Mook and Rex for talking reckless, but a lot of people took it as a Royce diss, but it wasn't).
Then today Royce dropped his diss, and then a few hours later Lupe dropped his.
