Eminem & Royce Da 5'9" - 'Very Rare, Old Interview' - 1999

A highly intoxicated Royce Da 5'9" accompanies Eminem in the basement of Cambridge, Massachusett's infamous Middle East nightclub on February 16, 1999 with an out of the ordinary interview to discuss the origins of "Bad Meets Evil", their collaboration for the then newly released "Slim Shady LP." Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg reminds Eminem of having met Quest / UGHH before the Slim Shady LP release in another section of the city, to which Eminem (whose ego has exponentially expanded) exclaims, "Before we were d*cks. Now we're BIG D*CKS!"

[@Ace0077]

These people saying how they like old Eminem more... If he stayed like that, there would probably be no more Eminem, try to realize that.

Damn, 7 years ago

[@theintrovertleo5036]

exactly we would have revival kamikaze , and music to be murdered by or killshot

[@sarahn.m1858]

And he was 26-27 in 99: how y’all want a 48 year old man to act like he did back when he was 26? lol

[@georgewashington7157]

Yup. Crack would've killed em. 👍

[@aquogaming5191]

1:39 classic shady

[@icicestrosehill3504]

People who say they like old eminem more and he should stay like that then how do u feel if i tell you to go back to ur 20 years old and u should stay like that. People forget that he is human and he has evolved , grown up humanly( like all normal human beings) and artistically too. Would it not be weird to have a 40yrs+ dude still acting like an adolescent? People will never be satisfied

[@wakawaka12328]

So glad there friends again. Can't wait for the album. Bad meets evil the best duo.

[@fuckitsTdashRex94]

Man if Em was still like this I'd lose respect for him. Him like this is funny as all hell, but if he went around high like this nowadays as a 39 year old...shit wouldn't be right. It's good that he grew up.

[@twist127]

his eyes on the blond part are "normal", ecstasy turns your eyes bigger, and do like a crazy stare. You can see the ecstasy stare at the first part of the video when the camera let's you. In the second part, I have rolled plenty of times, i can assure you he isn't

[@wacko37]

[@D12Detoxx]

he looks the same here like he does now

[@SickAsItGets]

honestly the only thing that has changed about em is his voice lol. he looks exactly the same. (just without blonde hair now)

[@leodevine7178]

I think people want the voice and flow back. The more mature rhymes and outlook are cool to me, his freestyles still have that horrorcoreness to them. His rhymes are still fire. For me its the voice and flow. Plus trap beats suck. Get sum throwback beats

[@albinomoreno8358]

They'd have an EP out if they didn't start beefing some time later. God damn, how'd that sound?

[@albinomoreno8358]

***** No, 100% no. Royce was fire on HTE, but Em reeeeally sucked at most of them. If it was 1999 they'd both be strong fire.

[@albinomoreno8358]

***** His delivery was wack except for, if I recall correctly, two tracks. Royce murdered him on every song. His punchlines were most the time corny, reminiscent of the crap that Recovery was, and everything else was pretty much stale, nothing special.

[@albinomoreno8358]

***** "I think Recovery was awesome" "a legit Hip-Hop fan" Nope. "Ok quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap" Corny. "But Proof isn't here to see me through it I'm in the booth, popping another pill, tryna talk myself into it Are you stupid? You're gon' start dissing people for no reason? 'specially when you can't even write a decent punchline even?" Introspective and deep. OK? Ok.

[@albinomoreno8358]

***** If you want I can mentions dozens of other corny lines off of Recovery. In Living Proof, off of HTS: "Your body language is sayin’ your confidence is gone Well pick ya ass up lil homie, come on" Terrible awful flow.

[@albinomoreno8358]

"you haters look like you ate a grape fruit" suicide worthy Royce murders Em on everything except for The Reunion.

Uh he got into acid mushies weed percs valiums and ecstasy probs a bunch other

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

He def smoked weed but he didnt do harder drugs. It was pills, alcohol and weed (sometimes)

[@misterEstrange]

damn wish they would team up and do an album together like red and meth jus a whole bad meets evil album, eminem is so much more grown now his music should reflect that and he should stop doing songs like insane, personally i think ne way
