Lupe Fiasco wasted no time responding to Royce Da 5’9’s “Silence Of The Lambda” diss record. As a matter of fact Lupe responded to Royce’s record in a matter of hours. With such a quick response the quality of the response is spell bounding.
Clocking in over six minutes in length, Lupe delivers blows towards his nemesis questioning his influence in the game, handouts during his career, and more.
Just a couple of hours after Royce put it out, Lupe took to Instagram to post a song of his own over Rich Boy’s ‘Throw Some D’s’. He called it ‘Steve Jobs‘, but the first minute or so of it was just him rapping the first minute or so of Royce’s song. It was impressive that he knew it so quickly, but people were confused. At the end, he addressed Royce saying that he respects white people more than he loves black people. Lupe pointed out the coronavirus and COVID-19 affecting the black community disproportionately and spun it on Royce, wondering what it meant that he doesn’t want the vaccine. He also called him passive-aggressive, before cutting off and saying that he was going to listen to the rest of it. Now, a few hours later, he’s back with a new response.
The new one is called ‘Steve Jobs (SLR 3 1/2)’ and it’s just over 6 minutes long. It’s far more direct than Royce’s song and it also takes things a lot further. Lu opens the song by rapping “the problem is that you ain’t never had no impact, KitKats and chit chat and syntax won’t make up for how much you sit back”, and that’s one of the lighter bars.
