Lupe Fiasco Responds To Joe Budden's Claim That He Is The Superior Rapper

"Don't poke the bear" is an axiom of survival around the world, and Joe Budden risked rap death over the weekend when he implied that he was a better rapper and Street Fighter player than Lupe Fiasco. "Lupe been scared of Mouse," he wrote on Twitter, "Street Fighter & rapping."

An avid Street Fighter fan and rapper of the highest order, Lupe responded within a manner of minutes. "Lawd! I don't even know where to begin..." he wrote. Fortunately for Budden, he was in a good mood, and hit Budden with a salvo of GIFs. 

When a fan chimed in that Lupe would out-rap Budden, Budden responded, "I love Lupe, but he’d have to prove that."

Budden eventually conceded defeat. Check out their full Twitter exchange below.
