Eminem & Royce Da 5'9'' - Renegade (Original)

[@cod4basterd]

This song makes so much more sense when Royce does it. Royce=Renegade JayZ=No renegade.

[@DizzMuzic]

Eminem and Xzibit had great chemistry together. I don't think people realize how many songs they made together.

[@x3motionz]

damn its been almost a decade since i heard this track.. and still nothing can compare.. this track is beeeast! thanks for uploading

[@Jrust139]

man this makes me think about what it would have been like had they not had their falling out and made the bad meets evil album back then.

[@kevinladisic8682]

Royce first verse are almost the same as Em´s verse in Dead Wrong with B.I.G. The flow and the syllables Royce used in this are exactly the same as Em´s in Dead Wrong! Which one came out first, Renegade or Em´s verse in Dead Wrong? anyone??? Btw, sorry for my Eng, Im from Sweden ;)

[@elflip88]

so jay z still got murdered by eminem even though he had heard ems verse way before he made his?? now thats awesome

[@nulife192]

the way em interchanges rhyming syllables and alliteration is crazy like whos the king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics...a lot of his songs, alot of rappers in the 90s use various poetry techniquea in their rhymes using alliterarion, word play, and I know this is a 2000s song but its quality like stuff from the 90s, really like JayZ better than Royce and ems renegade verses are poetry, so many intricate rhyming patterns word play and alliteration, its really art man.

[@RadioPleiadi]

He's ROYCE , He's the king of Detroit !

[@omgahandlelol]

thanks for the upload one of the best tracks in rap.

[@nikobranolte]

better then then jay version ! Royce is a BEAST!

[@MrPKellz1]

New Bad Meets Evil brought me back to this song, forgot how awesome it was.

[@Av2ene]

1of the best copies on KZbin, old feat. pCe out

[@14192jn]

This is the one that should have been released!!

[@GermanysF1nest]

perfect flow. ountouchable.

[@hjerneStimulanz]

Thanks for the dowloadlink

[@jwdubz22]

thanks for the link bro! I'm gonna make a diy acapella of this and i will send you it if it works good. thanks man

[@cet91187]

this song is a CLASSIC!! Em and Royce both kill it! And Jay's version doesn't even compare; Nas was correct, "And Eminem murdered you on your own shit!!"

[@KvSwooo]

this was written in the 90s, eminem and royce used were a duo (bad meets evil) until some shit happened with royces deal/solo album(something to do with royces manager saying stuff about dr dre in a magazine) not sure if it worked out for the better, but you got d12 in place of bad meets evil

[@JRGBlizzard]

Em AND Royce killed Jay on this. I would like this version better hands down if Em's voice and the beat sounded more like the original. But Royce kills it! I like how he sounds vicious like Xz

[@camronshean1758]

This originally was gonna be for Royce Da 5'9"'s album Rock City before Eminem gave it to Jay-Z. Royce Da 5'9" & Eminem needed something for Royce Da 5'9"s Rock City album for both of them to be on. They had the song Rock City done already but Royce Da 5'9" didn’t have an Eminem verse and Eminem was executive producing the album, so they did this song together Royce Da 5'9" said “Jay-Z was at a deadline and he had been asking Em to get on something. Em didn’t want to miss Jay’s deadline because obviously he respects him. I don’t think he had time to go in and do a whole new joint, so he called me and asked if I was cool with just giving Jay that one and we’ll just do something else. I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s cool.’ “Why would I feel regret if that’s one of Em’s signature songs? That’s a great thing for him and I don’t think the song would’ve reached the potential it reached with him and Jay-Z if it was me and him because Interscope wouldn’t even clear him for that song anyways. I think it was something where they were willing to give us video rights for ‘Rock City,’ but if they cleared ‘Renegade’ we wouldn’t get single rights. It was a long time ago so I can’t really remember, but I do remember there was a little bit of politics involved to where I’m glad that he gave it to Jay because the song would never have reached the potential it was supposed to reach. It’s a good thing.”

[@ninocompain]

@ajhala no Royce jacked Em's flow since Dead Wrong was recroded a couple of year before this one was even recorded.

[@matpsycic]

Yeah, I believe they were. What I am stating is that the Bad meets Evil duo is greater than any x-shady duo..where x is any rapper ever that he has collaborated with.

[@KvSwooo]

not sure when it was released but was surely made before the jay z version

[@danmcg820]

You haven't heard both versions if you think it's close

[@Marko98100]

royce is underrated

[@Rigs4936]

royce was just being modest

[@KidInsain]

I miss this shit. Bad Meets Evil were the shit

[@BekaShakur]

2 Sick

[@indio2dr]

@spartaprinceI'm sure that was Em paying homage to Royce.

[@kicksmile]

classic

[@drubreeze87]

@daysconfuseme or does em's sound like royce's verse? he did call him the king of detroit in this song.. jst sayin

[@jakegamesnake]

EXACTLY

[@darthmeatwad]

- even royce said jay-z verses were better in vibe magazine. so that should end the argument.

[@TheEminemshady123]

@BlackAndYellow030 No he didn't . Dead wrong is 1997 and renegade(original) is around 1999-2000

[@BlackAndYellow030]

@NemNemsable but if jay took out royce's verses , how can this be the original one ? im confused

[@UniVS427]

WHEN did this version come out? 2001? or earlier?

[@SlimDargo]

@BeautifulGirlByDana you meant a 6/5 right?

[@oNitroh]

anyone have a download for this in .flac, .aiff, .apple lossless, or any other lossless format? thank you

[@kungblao]

@chocolatechamp28 EXACTLY!!! DAMN!!!

[@wdrun1993]

Eminem writes Royce's lyrics.

[@grantmosier8683]

exactly

[@jcannion]

@momchilb20 Rocye's verse came first. This song was made before Em got down with Dr. Dre

[@cet91187]

@zsharpe04 i dont see what about jay's is deeper - it was far from classic, especially compared to em's verse and the rest of the album. secondly, a good track is more than just the words on paper - not only is royce lyrical but his flow & cadence on this beat are siiick. plus the combo of his style with em's is incredible. jay and em dont have the same chemistry

[@justinmageau]

i don't mind which version i listen to; i only listen for eminem so

[@ChanezGN]

nope thats not why em and royce cut ties..it was because em promised that he would sighn royce right after he finished with his own project but instead worked on d12,and then royce dropped out as ems hypeman...at a very crucial point,and d12 took this as a betrayal....and so the beef starting including eminem.

[@ChanezGN]

also i get whatur saying but that wasnt the MAIN REASON....u may be a fan but ima stan.

[@THEH0WLER87]

4 Jay-Z fans out there

[@matencio123]

Jay's sleepy malnourished delivery is his style and its hard for him to ever kill it because it sounds like someone hitting puberty is spitting a sick line, where if you have a decent lyricist with a good delivery will just naturally sound better than Jay no matter how sick his lines are. Character flaw...

[@ChanezGN]

go to wikepedia plus if u watch the documentary...mc beefing or sumthin...royce himself and the whole d12 spoke about the situation...

[@jonathanhart54]

wtf are you on? he didn't meet Royce untill 1998, and you can tell by his voice, that is early 2000s........

[@topleft022]

the term you are looking for is 'renegaded'..as in Eminem just renegaded Jay Z in that song

[@SlimJD697]

The one dislike was Jay-Z

[@stevenmelissa4509]

royce first verse sounds alot like shady on dead wrong-- or is it the other way ?

[@jonathanhart54]

yea, your thinking of "Dead Wrong" i just took that in today

[@bayerhead]

And btw, royce never hyped for Em. Proof was Em's hype man since he was signed with Dre. I remember the first time seeing Proof during em's mtv spring break performance when he did "my name is/brain damage"

[@urmum56]

in the 90's or 80's

[@SadSilentSlim]

@nicktheg00 oww.. ı said that before listen lyrics are different too i just realized but i mean royce could rap with jayz's parlance. and it could be great!

[@MisterYankou]

@ChuckTyme he could have just been starting to experiment with that flow

[@bayerhead]

royce ghost wrote for DRE on 2001 and wasn't suppose to say shit about it and his manager spoke on it publicly and it severed ties and of course em had to side with DRE

[@BlackAndYellow030]

@Ninocompain jeez listen to royce's verse on this song and the one on from em on dead wrong with biggie and you will understand

[@KerropiKirby]

@TheONeVoiCEOfReaSOn Cuz its the original version.

[@ComboNational]

@CFBLover3 ? you serious right now...

[@KeanuMusicOfficial]

Dear KZbin, There is a thumbs down button On an Eminem music video Please fix this problem As soon as possible Thank you, Kingmarv3

[@jonathanhart54]

no problem

[@oldschoolbamf]

@slapzilla916 who ripped who?

[@TheAwesomefroggy]

@CFBLover3 They had more meaning, but Royce KILLS THIS RAP. WIth EMINEM, he's even better, kinda.

[@hjerneStimulanz]

my thunge turn nodules from tryn to rap along haha:)

[@ninocompain]

@BlackAndYellow030 Eminem stole lyrics from who? himself?

[@NateAfterNite]

If proof were still alive He would've done The new Bad Meets Evil with them

[@SntYvsLrnt]

@SadSilentSlim This isn't Jay's song .

[@slapzilla916]

Why does royce steal eminems flow from Dead Wrong for his verses?

[@bayerhead]

No, your just looking way too deep into a media story, rather than looking at it from a business perspective. Royce didn't need Em to move his career up at that time. Em only had Shady lp under his belt. Royce was going to get signed but his manager screwed up the deal and Dre dropped the deal. It was out of Em's hands. The bad words Royce made later were just out of aggression towards that, plus it was a way to hype his name. Anybody in his position would have did the same thing

[@matpsycic]

Thing is maybe royce is the only guy that can feature with eminem and still not get killed, In jay-z eminem renegade, eminem just kills jay-z.

[@dibzus1212]

Royce sounds 100 times better in Hell The Sequel....... And what can one say about Em.....I aint got no words.....

[@bayerhead]

Thats bullshit. Eminem didn't appear on any of the disses between d12 and royce or ever say anything about him. It's fact that Royces manager outted the ghost written lyrics Royce did for Dre. Look it up. It was all over bad business with Royces manager

[@CameraMan9182]

True. I used to think that, but if you look at Jay-Z before he changed his style( to adapt to the media) you will realize that he is pretty good. Jay-Z has been in the game for a long time he newest stuff is all for the radio. But there is no doubt eminem is much better.

[@mattsaracen7]

lol, the description says artist:jay z... :P

[@jonathanhart54]

did you just diss D12?

[@schwatzi1]

GEMA du machst mich fertig

[@CFBLover3]

@TheAwesomefroggy the beat in this one is just so empty

[@macthompson196]

this my shit

[@xiDespiicablexGaming]

@SadSilentSlim The beat is the same thing. lol

[@KerropiKirby]

that;s his opinion

[@tacopwnzer]

Royce's first verse has the same exact rhythm as Em's verse on Big's "Dead Wrong". So I guess they just took his rhythm on that after Dre dropped Royce cuz Royce wouldn't fire his manager... That's weird. But Em is great on Dead Wrong. And the version with Jay-Z is great because it shows even more how great Em is cuz he does a lot better than Jay and it's produced better. So everything turned out for the better.

[@Kipkaboom]

@slapzilla916 Eminem jacked Royce's flow for Dead Wrong...

[@bayerhead]

em's verse in dead wrong is copy biggy smalls. big had a song where he says "i got a 9 in my pocket". em just said it to add to big's song as a compliment

[@delroymbofana6655]

What the future of an orphan holds Huh Parentless, The streets raised me In the state of New York City Made it here, guess which means I make it anywhere Yeah there love me Everywhere Nigga Japan, Cuba to Jamaica Los Angeles, Atlanta to China There Feel me in the Favela's in Brazil Coz Real Recognizes Real

[@ScunnyJack]

Why would he, Bad Meets Evil were around when Proof was alive and Proof would have been with Em in D12, no need to do Bad Meets Evil with them as well.

[@TheAwesomefroggy]

@CFBLover3 Yeah, I like the other beat, but aside, this one is better.

[@redknight4641]

The original is with Royce...

[@JRGBlizzard]

Em AND Royce killed Jay on this. I would like this version better hands down if Em's voice and the beat sounded more like the original. But Royce kills it!

[@grantmosier8683]

Bullshit if anyone says that Jay-Z's verse wasn't good. It was better than Royces. It flowed way better and was much more on topic. Also, Royce used a good bit of Em's flow from "Dead Wrong" but his verse pales in comparison to that. Coming from someone who really likes Royce Jay's verse was way better.

[@bobtheawasome]

i didnt hear the difference, probably because eminems verse is still the same and thats the only thing that matters

[@ComboNational]

@CFBLover3 I personally like Royce cuz Jay-Z just takes everyones style.

[@danmcg820]

Royce admits to coping the flow. Obviously since it's on a song with Em it's not a big deal

[@JamieLandan]

Tbf, it was pretty much the same lyrics Em used, just tweaked it.

[@alvinchipmunksipod]

Nah, I think the only way to improve an Eminem song is to put someone like Jay on, I mean: how can putting on one of the greatest rappers alive on your track ruin it?

[@ChanezGN]

whatever man....the whole d12 and royce themselves spoke about it....maybe ur point is true too,maybe we both right,but i know my ass is rite...god bless u:)

[@CameraMan9182]

Jay-z I cant get wit that. Also listen to: Eminem Syllables ft Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Stat Quo and Cashis... You will like it

[@kingmigget]

no, not entirely.
