You gotta respect this guy for being this open, legend!

[@droppingknowledgebombs]

Wanye Kest Definitely! Love the vulnerability he expressed on his album Book of Ryan and dealing with everyday issues. I have heard of Royce, but never paid attention until Michael Eric Dyson gave his album a shout out. I haven’t stopped listening to this album since. I think this album is timeless and a masterpiece. I wish we had more of this realness in our music. I think it forces people to talk about things instead of sweeping stuff under the rug.

[@cobrahklutch9779]

I’ve got so much respect for Royce his story is so parallel to mine it’s crazy when I say BOR is classic that’s not bias cuz I relate to it so much n a huge Royce fan to me this album is his Classic

[@mamba4817]

​@@droppingknowledgebombship hop is loaded with that kind of realness, it's just not found a lot in the commercial turn up music. Nas, Black Thought, Em, Pharoahe Monch, Kendrick, J Cole, Blu, Billy Woods, Run The Jewels(Killer Mike and El P), Aesop Rock, Tupac, Scarface, Andre 3k, even Jay Z and Beanie Sigeland multiple others all have strong elements of realness all through their music.

Beating an addiction is very hard. Hats off to this man for beating his addiction. Hopefully, we all can conquer our addictions.

[@BlackMusicGenre]

That song Cocaine from The Book Of Ryan is dope . Royce doesn't get his props he deserves . He's one of the best and is underrated .

Takes a real man to talk about his fathers drug addiction to the public and openly praise his father. Respect

[@Red-zo5fv]

I remember buying Street Hop in 8th grade, that shit made me a fan of Royce. He's one of the most hardworking emcees out here.

[@FlawdaBoy4]

I'm 33 years old and I've bever been drunk in my life... I used to get all of the jokes back in high school and college....now the past 10 years I get all the praise from those same friends who now have high liver levels from the alcohol

[@cobrahklutch9779]

Cocaine is one of the dopest songs I’ve ever heard real shit this whole album is def to me already feels like a classic I believe it is I’ve listened to is front to back since it dropped n it’s flawless to me

[@TheMasterGEA]

Vlad lacks compassion when talking about these heavy topics lol. You can tell in his tone. Peep how Royce said sorry to hear that when Vlad talked about his friend. That's how you supposed to do yo 😂.

[@SeVinKru3ger]

Sippy right now watching this.

[@SoundbombSoldier]

great mind royce

[@RussellMills1877]

I like Royce because you can tell he is a smart man who has been threw a lot in his life good or bad and I am glad his father stopped doing drugs and checked himself into rehab. And on a side note I have a youtube channel type in Russell Mills may 22, 2017 and watch and leave a like or a comment.

[@Jossiece21]

Hey Vlad, I Hope All Is Well. Usually I despise giving my opinion to people, veryone has one you know. I apologize in advance, because momentarily I will become part of that statistic, but I can't help my self. I just need to share this constructive criticism with you. You may not care, but if you read this, just hear me out. On interviews like these. Where someone articulates answers, that can, and will serve as solution for someone struggling, with the same personal issues that he describes so well. It would be cool if you drop the complete interview, like you did with Damian Marley's interview. Even if it's exclusively on your site to attract traffict to it, and you continue to piece it out on youtube. If you want to continue doing that. But on these type of interviews where someone answers so intellectually, deep, layered, emotionally intelligent, and simple. Drop the whole thing bro, dont hold it. His words may save someone's life. Just saying. Thank you for doing interviews like these. Much blessings, Take Care.

[@StillJxmmy]

biiiig faaaaaaaacts !

[@mistaseeforce]

Artist be fugged in the head low key

[@jaypoppafellaakaog5688]

Addictive personality traits run in your family i would suggest that you try anything that's mine altering Weatherby pills alcohol narcotics. Just because u dont like coke , it will be simething else. So my advice do none of thee above

[@LuisGuzman-kt1yp]

Somehow Russ just took a HUGE L

[@texasboy9018]

I dont see how people can do cocaine on a regular basis. Ill do it and wont want to for a while.

[@chadwillett619]

texas boy90 I use to have a a problem with that shit, not everyday but every payday I'd start out by buying an 8 ball and thinking I'm gonna make this last all weekend 4hrz later I'm getting another and more after that until my paycheck gone and I been to pawn shop, I spent about a year doing that, I lucked into this plug where it was fire and dirt cheap, Mexican dude called himself Jesus on one side of town on the other they called him Jorge. But point is last time I was around that shit it was offered and I wasn't tempted at all, maybe because I was high on meth and meth is way better either way it still counts.
