Did you actually listen to them and not just skim through them, and took the time to break down his double entenderes and the meaning of certain songs, because you're not going to enjoy Lupe if all you do is run through his catalagoue treating him like some worthless punchline rapper. I'm not going to lie and say I listened to all of Royce's material, cause I haven't but from what I heard, I wasn't that impressed tbh.
I know wordplay is a skill, I never said otherwise. Ok, cool. But, Royce has a better delivery. Stronger and clearer.
I know the meaning of his songs. It's not that hard to figure most of them out. I like Lupe, I just act like I hate him so slimshadylappin can cry. I like Lupe's wordplay and punchlines and I love his concepts, Streets On Fire is an amazing song. I'm just saying Royce CAN rival him in the punchlines department.
Oh and listen Death Is Certain, BE2 and Street Hop.
