Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Lucky You (feat. Joyner Lucas). By Songfacts®.

This song follows a theme running through Kamikaze in which Eminem declares his dominance over the contemporary generation of rappers. Em criticizes those in the modern rap game who use ghost writers. I got a couple of mansions Still I don't have any manners You got a couple of ghost writers But to these kids it don't actually matter Some fans claimed the lyrics was a reference to the ghostwriting accusations aimed at Drake but Eminem told Sway Calloway that definitely isn't the case. "I like Drake," he said. "What I'm telling you with these lines is, I don't know what's real and what's not, at this point. Because you hear s--t about this rapper, that rapper, whatever. I'm telling you that I don't do it. Never have and never will. If I ever need a ghostwriter, I need to just f---ing put the mic down.” Em also decries the rise of mumble rappers. Hatata batata, why don't we make a bunch of f---in' Songs about nothin' and mumble! And f---it, I'm goin' for the jugular The track, co-produced by regular Drake collaborator Boi-1da, even has the sort of modern trap bent contemporary rappers frequently use.

Eminem is joined by Massachusetts rapper Joyner Lucas, who first garnered attention with the release of his single "Ross Capicchioni" in 2015 and a remix of "Panda" the following year. This is the first collaboration between the pair.

This song contains a second Kendrick Lamar interpolation, following Em's borrowing of the Compton MC's flow on "Greatest." This time Eminem interpolates Lamar's DAMN. track "DNA." I got spite inside my DNA Em's flow matches Lamar's lines: Got royalty inside my DNA For some reason Lamar is credited as a writer on "Greatest" but not on "Lucky You."
