Skepta throws a lyrical jab at Joyner Lucas – Lucas responds. Now we have now across-continental rap battle that has the streets watching.
Skepta lit the match and Joyner Lucas is right here for the smoke. Lyrical warfare, it’s. The North London grime rapper dropped “Pleasant Fireplace” and determined it was time for the gloves to come back off.
“Joyner Lucas you bastard/You sound such as you come from Harvard,” he rapped. Joyner Lucas observed.
Lucas has formally fired again and each rappers appear to be holding their finest materials within the chamber. That is undoubtedly heating up quick. The bars are coming, followers are selecting sides and YouTube reactors are in all probability licking their lips. “Give me some UK subscribers!”
No one’s gone nuclear simply but. These really feel like sparring rounds. However the potential is undoubtedly there. I hope they chill out.
There’s an air of rigidity. We simply heard about OVO affiliate Top5 getting stabbed within the U.Okay., regardless that particulars are nonetheless unclear. Whereas that incident doesn’t seem related to rap, the timing is eerie. Something can occur.
The framing of this as a U.Okay. vs U.S. showdown feels a bit outdated. It’s not 2007. We want collabs except there’s pleasant competitors. Skepta drew a bizarre line between U.Okay. rappers and the American South; a comparability that doesn’t actually maintain up.
Possibly URL or one other battle league steps in and really organizes a battle. That approach the followers win and the rappers receives a commission. Till then, let’s benefit from the bars.
