Below we\u2019re going to break down the exact meaning of their verses from &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyreka.com\/song\/eminem-joyner-lucas-lucky-you-lyrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Lucky You<\/a>&#8216;.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lucky You Break Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The song starts with a Bridge where Joyner Lucas tells us that he doesn\u2019t regret his music career so far or his style of rapping even if that means he\u2019s never going to get a Grammy for them. Up next, the rapper cuts straight to the point and shares that he highly disapproves the current state of Hip Hop and that he plans on ruining a bunch of rapper\u2019s careers even if that means he needs to put his at stake for that to happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>In the Chorus Joyner tells his competition that it is time to move from the spotlight while in Verse 1 he makes it clear that he\u2019s aiming at everyone that stands in his way. In fact, the rapper doesn\u2019t plan on sparing everyone from this rampage and that includes rappers that might have gone platinum and experienced immense success in the last few months or years. He\u2019s coming at the rap game full force while he is now aware that other rappers are what\u2019s keeping him from receiving the recognition he deserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/eminem-lucky-you-featuring-joyner-lucas-2-750x375.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2571\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Eminem &#8211; Lucky You ft.

Eminem on the other hand is on the opposite side of the game as he tells us in the next Bridge. He\u2019s been in the music industry for years, he won his awards and received his recognition but he still feels like he has more to prove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p> They&#8217;re askin&#8217; me &#8220;What the f*** happened to hip-hop?&#8221;<br>I said &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any answers&#8221;<br>&#8216;Cause I took an L when I dropped my last album <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Em\u2019 co-signs the statement that Hip Hop is in a weird phase at the moment. He is amazed how fans are actually accepting certain compromises such as having a ghostwriter. Even Eminem can\u2019t find an acceptable answer when he\u2019s asked about the current state of Hip Hop while he admits that his last album was mediocre as well. But now the rapper is back with a new album that he\u2019s confident of but even if his work is solid, he still doesn\u2019t feel like he\u2019s winning because he has no fair competitors right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up next, Em\u2019 takes a clear shot at mumble rappers and their weak lyrics that don\u2019t even make sense to him while praising old school Hip Hop acts such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyreka.com\/artist\/kool-g-rap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Kool G Rap<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyreka.com\/artist\/big-daddy-kane\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Big Daddy Kane<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyreka.com\/artist\/andre-3000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Andre 3000<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyreka.com\/artist\/masta-ace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Masta Ace<\/a>. He goes on by dissing mumble rappers once again with<q>All the lean rappin&#8217;, face tats, syruped out like tree sap<\/q> . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the rapper tells us that he\u2019s prepared to do whatever it takes to smash this new age rapper&#8217;s wave, even if that means going back to his old him. The bottom line is, he\u2019s hungry and more humble than he ever was while working tirelessly to achieve success once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/eminem-lucky-you-featuring-joyner-lucas-750x375.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2570\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Eminem &#8211; Lucky You ft.

They may also have very different styles, messages, and points of focus in their art. However, one listen to their smash hit collaboration &#8220;Lucky You&#8221; makes you understand why they have so much chemistry. It is potentially because of their glaring similarities. Here are some unusual but obvious similarities between the two rappers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-text-primary-color\">1.<\/span> <strong>Anger<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, if you are familiar with the two rappers&#8217; music, you will realize they both sound angry and frustrated in most of their songs \u2013with Eminem being the angrier one. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyreka.com\/artist\/machine-gun-kelly\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Machine Gun Kelly<\/a> even teased the &#8220;Rap God&#8221; about his anger in his lyrical attack on the legendary rapper titled &#8220;Rap Devil.&#8221; Notably, a quick listen to some of Joyner&#8217;s best hits, such as &#8220;I&#8217;m Not Racist&#8221; and &#8220;<a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lyreka.com\/song\/joyner-lucas-devils-work-lyrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Devils Work<\/a>&#8221; reveals he is normally angry in his songs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-text-primary-color\">2.<\/span> Controversy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Joyner and Em may be from different hip-hop generations \u2013but they are no strangers to controversy in their art. They have both actually sparked off quite a lot of it in their careers. Eminem sparked off lots of controversy with his very first hit song &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyreka.com\/song\/eminem-my-name-is-lyrics\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">My Name Is<\/a>&#8221; which seemed to promote violence, drugs, and obscenity to children. Joyner, like Eminem, also seemingly shares a love for controversy. For instance, like Em, Joyner has rapped about controversial topics such as racism. Joyner sparked off a lot of fire with his hit song &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyreka.com\/song\/joyner-lucas-im-not-racist-lyrics\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">I am Not Racist<\/a>.&#8221; Eminem equally sparked off racial controversy on his album &#8220;Revival&#8221; not so long ago. In addition, Joyner also sparked off a religious controversy with the lyrics and video for his hit song &#8220;Devil&#8217;s Work.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-text-primary-color\">3.<\/span> Direct Attacks at Their Presidents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that both rappers have directly attacked sitting Presidents of the United States in their careers. With Eminem attacking George Bush in his song &#8220;Mosh&#8221; \u2013and Donald Trump on many songs in his &#8220;Revival&#8221; album. Joyner also directly attacked Trump during his time in office on his song &#8220;Devil&#8217;s Work.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few of the glaring similarities between the two rappers. We could go on all day but we\u2019ll stop here.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hip Hop heavyweight Eminem teams up with new sensation Joyner Lucas to express his disagreement with the current state of the music industry in his latest studio effort &#8216;Lucky You&#8217;.
