“When you start changing toxic people don’t want to be around”

[@edwin99901]

Royce: "I could see where the disconnect is. Em is not accessible and he's on a level that you may assume that he's a certain way, like he leaves it to your imagination. I can see where, Lord Jamar in his mind, he can paint a picture.. you know, if you see the Rolling Stones calling him the king of rap, you may just think he thinks that hes the king of hip hop. So a lot of things Lord Jamar is saying, it sounds like he's responding to an argument that he had in his mind with Em. Em never said he wasnt a guest in hip hop. He never said 'I was the king of hip hop.' He doesn't even talk like that. Em is a hip hop historian, he knows all about Lord Jamar, probably more than he knows about himself..."

Royce deserves his flowers while he is here, he is so determined to be his best in all aspects of his life. Get "The Allegory", out Feb 21st!

[@mikelangelo5022]

L B comes out tomorrow at Midnight!

@@mikelangelo5022 but where? Cd or vinyl. Fuck steaming

I love how Royce has grown as an artist especially over the last 5-10 years or so

[@BooneLuleyo]

Yeah since he's got sober he gives so many gems (Layers, Book of Ryan and the PRhyme's albums). One of the best.

[@domasavpedzivin]

*Royce 's one od the Rap Gods , He's an Impeccable Artist*

[@LowHonorMorgan]

Book of Ryan was perfect. Even if you aren't a fan of hip-hop, you can listen to and enjoy that album. As a father and a recovering addict, Cocaine really hit home. Looking forward to Allegory.

[@nasstheboy8790]

Royce and Em are legends together bad meets evil 2 please 👍👍👍👍👍

[@cesheph]

He is so slept on hopefully this man gets his due on this album!

[@KD_SWAGGER]

Royce Da 5'9" has grown over the years and his music has shown that. This is a great interview!

[@DrewNotHere]

Great interview. Definitely a mature energy in the room.

[@jameswright4595]

Dope interview, can't wait for the album to drop this Friday

[@KasunTalwatta]

Such an underrated artist. Specially this day and age. He should be up there with the greats lyrically.

[@MrTraveller.]

Royce keeps evolving & getting better with every album. Thanks

Royce fucking needs to get more shine Mann 🔥 he fire

[@thecool24681]

Dope

[@BooneLuleyo]

Prhyme 1 & 2, Layers, Book of Ryan... Royce is on a roll these days. I love this guy. One of his most underrated body of work is the Death of Certain's album. Super talented artist and one of the best MC out there. Royce is your favorite rapper favorite rapper 😉👌

[@AnthonyfromtheD]

Book of Ryan a classic album!

[@sherisetyus872]

Here's the thing about the Nick Cannon thing. Before Eminem did the record with Fat Joe, Nick Cannon went on TI's podcast a brought up the old beef talking about what he wanted to do to Eminem. So Em didn't start up the beef over again, Nick did!!!

"Lupe don't do features?" Yea, tell that to Big KRIT, Ab-soul, and Dee-1. . . Ummmm, real quick. When did Lupe start doing no features? Because I distinctly remember him doing a plethora of features over his career. As well as a few in the last 5 years. . . He need to quit playing and hop on a Royce track. . .

[@chrisrodriguez9741]

The song isn’t “fubu” it’s “upside down”. Dude doing the interview should be more informed.

[@headkrack]

Chris Rodriguez relax

[@randolphtolson7673]

I thought the same thing Chris but a ton of things went through my head after. A) this is why I like hearing artist interview other artists because they are more sensitive about stuff like that almost like a scholar and then B) even if the audience goes to listen FUBU... that’s just one more song they’ve checked out on the record. When they see upside down video on the algorithm or during their playthrough of the album they’ll be reminded that they need to google someone. Hopefully they are googling her off of the interview because the story is crazy and very sad. Really can humble a person in regards to how jacked up a life can be for a person and how jacked up a person can be treated even in afterlife. Her story is real life horror. Sarah Baartman deserved better.

[@KicksKapri]

deadass smh the host is corny for that

[@bigstevie1690]

You don't need to be so humble Nickle Just say, Bitch i go back to back with Shady 🐐 #BadMeetsEvil2 #TheAllegory

I LOVE HOW ROYCE NEVER REMEMBERS HE TOOK A SHOT A JOE BUDDEN ON "SOMETHINS WRONG WITH HIM" OFF THE DEATH IS CERTAIN ALBUM "MY WIFE HATE MY SHIT SHE RATHER LISTEN TO JOE BUDDEN NO DISTECT BUT FUCK A PARTY RECORD" I LOVE THAT ALBUM LOL

[@walterclark3198]

Okay I'm on point like a decimal. I'm sorry not sorry wavy bumping Brenda's got a baby. Working for little or no money isn't cool it is slavery. On a constant struggle for consistent energy. Realized that I wasn't as strong as I should be from a lack of iron so now I eat greens and salads more. Does the environment you were raised in affect your mental health? My punchlines are like uppercuts for mumble rappers who try to duck. I have nerves of steel. Flow colder than a polar bear. No one can rhyme like me I'm too original. Superb vocals and a dictionary of words in my mind. I'm on the up and up I'm humble. Jump in the booth and black out vader.

[@aLr_boosh]

Boosh!

[@tselby50]

Royce is forgetting his "Death is Certain" album. Or at least dismissing it

[@BooneLuleyo]

Did he talk about it?

[@ACE330]

He doesn’t like that album. Not that it wasn’t dope it takes him back to a low point in his life when he hears it

[@shroomgod1990]

Royce is nasty but does Royce think he’s better then em??! I think he’s the only one to keep up with em.

[@CashoutTroll]

Lol lower her mic next time she louder then everyone lol

[@tommygoat5478]

Please lower her mic ...... all the way to 0, thanks

[@krisnyc9134]

The guy who's had little success in the music Field would feel that. At the end Royce won't be on anyone's top 50. Eminem did say he wasn't a guest, on the song "Fall", "I belong here... Clown". Also said "I'm the greatest" in the Eminem song "greatest". Does Royce even listen to Eminem music?

[@edwin99901]

That was in response to saying em doesnt belong in hip hop due to his color. Eminem contributed enough to be solidified.

[@krisnyc9134]

Edwin ok but Royce said Emine he never said he wasn't a guest and clearly here he's saying he isn't a guest. Guest don't belong in the house they are invited. Royce clearly doesn't listen to Eminem music

[@judgemasterneimaz8260]

@@krisnyc9134 Did you really just dismiss a man's talent, effort, platform and fandom because of his opinion of his best friend? Bruh, tf is wrong with you? What makes you think this way? Top 50? This man is on millions of people's top 10, the numbers show. I can't fathom how you came to such a foolish conclusion. Fuck the whole Em thing, I can see that's why you're butt hurt. But insulting someone because they stand with their friend whom they know much more then yourself is very immature and shows your ignorance.

[@judgemasterneimaz8260]

@@krisnyc9134 btw, Em never did say any of those things until people started to criticize him and create assumptions. Even on rap God he never said he was a rap God, the damn chorus says, "I'm starting to feel like a rap God" not actually is one. It's not his fault people actually worship the man. He never brought up whether he was a guest of hip hop or not until Jamar brought it up. You know nothing bruh.

[@krisnyc9134]

Ze'Roze Of The Faez'd Royce has yet to sell a million copies of an album so what millions you talking about?
