Lupe Fiasco Says He’ll DESTROY Both Eminem & Joe Budden In A Rap Battle

    Eminem dropped his new album Kamikaze last Thursday (August 30) and since then a few people including Joe Budden and Machine Gun Kelly had some things to say about it.

    Now added to that list is Lupe Fiasco. The Chicago rapper posted a video on Instagram of Eminem’s famous BET freestyle but with a comedian’s voiceover mimicking Em.

    After posting the video, Lupe went back and clarified that he has love for Eminem and his reason for putting it up. But in the same breath, he added that he would destroy Em and Joe Budden in a rap battle.

    “I posted up that video of the comedian mimicking Eminem rap style because I thought it was funny and actually most rappers actually rap like that when they are writing to catch a flow and get a melody. I like Em & most other rappers & I want no smoke but if I did I would destroy them all. Especially Joe Budden & Em too.”

    See the full post below.

    In a recent interview, Eminem’s right-hand man Mr. Porter says Slim Shady will likely wait for the responses to pile up before a new record surfaces. So, Lupe just very well may get his wish.

    1. Theses rappers need to just stop already…to me the only emcees that can probably defeat Em in a rap battle are Black Thought, Pharohoe Monch, RA The Rugged Man, Evidence of Dilated People’s only becuz he already did a responded diss track at Em and it was dope….Papoose, and in my opinion Chris Rivers who is Big Puns son.

    2. At his peak, Lupe was no where near the lyricism that Em or Joe brought to the table. I can’t even remember when Lupe was relevant.

      1. You don’t know lyricism.

        Please show me an example of Eminem spitting triple and quadruple entendres entwined in metaphors with wordplay.

        There’s multiple examples of Lupe doing it.

    3. lupe lupe lupe…. just mind your business nobody asked for or about you lol.. go sitcho ass down…. YOU DONT WANT NO SMOKE.

    4. Wow!! Can’t believe Lupe would do that he’s one of the greatest mcs ever (to me) at his peak seams like he just trying to find a way to stay relevant.. This shit all started with Drake and Pusha now that Ems in beef every body want some promo..

    5. Lupe you little social media shit talker,go in the studio and say it on record instead of posting social media posts like a little bitch.

      Same for Joe Budden,if youre so much better than Eminem as you say you are ,then fucking go in the studio and record a diss track and murder him instead of hiding behind “Im retired” and talking shit on podcasts.
      Pussy`s

    6. Lupe reminds me of a frustrated boxer who can’t get anyone to fight him because it’s too big of a risk for such a low reward.

    7. Hip Hop is all about credibility!!! I’m tired of Joe and Lupe saying they can destroy Em… well fucking do it… be real and prove u got what it takes… cuz when y’all saying y’all can and choose not to only proves that u doubt urself in that battle and don’t wanna take the risk to get bodied by one of the best battle rappers ever! Both of u instantly get an L ?

      1. Joe has a reason to make a track about Em. Lupe does not, but rest assure if Em drops his name in a diss song Lupe wouldn’t hesitate.

    8. I actually like Lupe’s music but I gotta say, talk is cheap. Lay down a track and go after Em and Budden or stfu.

      1. bruh eminem is not the greatest rapper ever. Your stupid if you think he even top 3. He is probably top 5 but his bars are overlooked. lupe could kill joe and if you think lupe is good though you dont know shit about rap jut stop saying anyone is even on tht level. anyone he goes at it a no go for them and eminem doesnt have to responnd. god are you guys all 1o years old and dont know rap or hephop

    9. None of these artists have went Diamond yet. None of these are are hot right now. Nobody calling on they name in hip hop. For yrs the world been asking for shady to return. Why should he make yall music hot again just cause y’all don’t have the juice no more.

      1. I beg to different on that everybody haz their opinion but let’s gets real real Lupe is good in all but he doesn’t stand a chance against Em. Em has been doing this shit since the mid 90s so his skill and flows are still articulate.

    10. I use to record @ the ATTIC in Chicago where Lupe use to record at .. This dude aint shit .. he had a group of 5 ppl helping him write songs .. talking bout he going to destroy Em, GTFOH with that .. maybe his ghostwriters would, but not him ..

    11. you guys are all stupid…on anythong lupe fasco would be on a diss track for eminem and not even for joe budden…how is he gonna go at him when he is the best. eminem is never been a good rapper. he is worse than all mumble rappers the only reason he has success is because he is white. his last hit was in 02 to. lupe fisaco has no room to talk either but he is okay

      1. Dumb a f.
        9/10 albums he dropped hit #1.
        Beat those records kid.
        White? Love how the new racist are the opposed now.
        Some people can’t stand when I white man does their music better, but idiots will be idiots.

      2. Lol, even in a black-dominated rap culture, you still blame his success on “being white.” Em even said in his new album “If it’s because I’m white then why are all the other white rappers not selling event CLOSE to me.” Fucking deadbeat.

    12. yall stans on eminim is so pathetec. eminim was great back in like 2001 and the only reaon why he selled so many records is cause hes white. you guys on this mans thick beautiful meat rod aint cool. hes done….like after you slurp up yo dads white cream juice…your done after that……emininm sucks. please retire…and his fans

      1. Really? You’re gonna use the “he’s only good because he’s white” bullshit? Rap is a black-dominated culture of music that rarely any white rappers ever make it in. Eminem was fucking discovered while battle rapping in Detroit. How the fuck you gonna get more legit than that? The Game, 50 cent, Snoop Dog, and every other motherfucker has said time and time again that Em is a legend and nobody want shit against him. Fuck your “white rapper” success bullshit. It takes more skill for a white rapper to make it in this shit.

    13. Lupe got bars but he has ZERO venom. And Kendrick and Cole been took his spot. Budden would kill Lupe and Eminem would annihilate Lupe. It’s not even funny how bad he’d get murdered and anybody that thinks otherwise probably haven’t listened enough of either of the 3.

    14. Tired of rappers claiming they’d destroy anyone, including Em. I’m glad he started all this beef. Let’s get to it. Lupe come at em and Budden , Budden come at em, Tyler come at em, Drake come at em, everyone fucking just do it and stop talking shit. Walk it like you talk it. None of this “I would and could” bullshit, that’s not Hip Hop. Spit your bars a prove you belong here.

    15. Dudes that never sold any records even though they had the major label platform but have the underground crown aren’t even in the discussion. Sorry, but getting people to buy your shit is part of this little game because none of these people are doing it for fun. It’s why finding someone that could actually legit go back and forth with Em is a difficult task since he’s one of those rap Olympian technicians. That would need to be a Jay, Nas, Kendrick Lamar type of list. Maybe Cube in his prime. If you haven’t sold any records and even if you have and don’t have that word play to go with the sales, you can’t even get in that room…and I’m def not even an Em fan by any stretch of the imagination, but the truth is the truth on his pure skills and popular music appeal to back it up with.

        1. Yep they do. It would be different if this was some unknown cat to come out. LP has been out what, 13 or 14 years? selling records is part of what they do bruh. I love Ras Kass and think he could heat a lot of rappers, but dude didn’t sell shit when he had the opportunity. Same with crooked I. Otherwise, it becomes an exercise in bias because people are either rooting for the underground king without the plaques and nothing to lose or it becomes people trying to prop up the person with commercial success. Hearing people in different lanes diss each other is fun for people who like to see conflict, but it never resolves shit when they go back and forth. It’s why Pac and B.I.G. was so epic or Nas and Jay. It’s akin to weight classes in boxing. Like Kendrick Lamar and Eminem would have everyone’s attention. MGK throwing pebbles at Eminem is not going to do anything for anybody but people who want to hear the dozens because they are not in the same swim lane. Hell, they’re not even in the same pool.

        2. Also, read what I said. I said that’s why it’s difficult to find challengers for him because he has sold records and clearly has some upper echelon technical skills. Not too many of those guys in rap history and especially not in the here and now. Who would ever compare Rakim to those dummies you mentioned? Like I said, I have never been an Em fan, but at the same time, I get annoyed by people saying he’s Vanilla Ice too because shit like that is disingenuous.

    16. Everyone saying Lupe has no chance really just thinks Lupe is wack cuz they don’t understand his lyrics or get bored by them. Lupe is one of the best to do it, and he isn’t even done releasing albums yet. Anyone arguing it, listen to Mural by him and try again…
