Damn, he'd actually be a pretty solid battle rapper. Good understanding of breath control, cadence, etc. Most of that probably comes from being a guy who's toured globally, stage control and allat. I don't think there's any venue other than straight mud slinging where Royce would have a chance against breh. And even then, Lu would just flip that barbaric approach on bro like he sorta nibbled at doing in SLR 3.5
I would REALLY love to see Black Thought and Lu trade bars. I wish there was a lyricist that cared about the idea of exchanging lines like Royce and him were doing (before it got hostile) and they'd host a Verzuz type format of just nikkas rapping. Don't even gotta be battle rapping necessarily
