This situation between Lupe Fiasco and Royce 5’9″ seemingly came out of nowhere and has been a surprise to many Essentially, when 5’9 brought up the question of who was the best rapper out in response to RJ Payne’s tweet, Lupe told him he didn’t think he was the best. Things kind of escalated from there and it was a joke until it wasn’t. About a week ago, the pair exchanged some heated words on Instagram Live with Mickey Factz, Young Guru, Loaded Lux, and Murda Mook.
Royce said that night that regardless of what happened next, he was going to come out with a song and it looks like he’s keeping his promise. Royce has taken to Instagram to post the artwork for a new song of his called ‘Silence Of The Lambda’. It’s produced by frequent collaborator Carlos Broady, better known as Six July. The logo in the center of it is from Revenge Of The Nerds, which is also of course the name of Lupe’s classic mixtape series.
