----------------------------
Royce da 5'9" spoke to VladTV about Eminem being on his latest album, The Book of Ryan, which led to a conversation about how they met and also about their falling out. Royce also revealed how he didn't drink any alcohol until he was 21 and in the studio with Dr. Dre.
When it comes to his beef with Eminem, Royce admits that he's not proud about posing with guns in the Beef DVD series, adding that sometimes in hip-hop it's all about fitting in, which led to a message to the youth. To hear more, hit the above clip.

[@echad6259]

Royce: I have a new album. Vlad: Tell me about Eminem.

[@Parvati1981]

LOL

[@Etnad85]

😂😂😂

[@bensullivan5562]

Oh, Eminem is on the new album? Vlad always has to find a way to bring it in.

[@echad6259]

Lee John Royce should speak up against that, respectfully. Dame Dash, for instance, will tell you not to talk to him about Jay Z and that if anyone has any Jay Z related questions then they should ask Jay. Your right, it's every interview.

[@hechpee]

I heard that the interviewers reach out to want to interview Eminem he declines and insist they interview his friends so they can get shine, So that’s why the interviewers get bold & ask them about Eminem and since his friends are getting shine either way, they don’t get offended that they are asked about Em. That’s what i heard, it makes sense to me

[@alich434]

Eminem is my favourite artist but Jesus stop talking about Eminem with Royce at every interview. Talk about Royce instead!

[@k5elevencinc0]

Ali Ch Ikr!

[@mchenryeluehike1134]

I totally agree

[@uncledunn6021]

They share fans. my boy Royce want that extra em clout, come on now

[@thec0r379]

I honestly want to hear Eminem talk about Royce more lol it just that he doesn't do many interviews lol.

[@JustMe-mo6xk]

If Eminem did this stuff they wouldn't bug Royce, Porter, AL, Crook etc about him. But he doesn't lol. His boys understand. Vlad is a troll though

[@Jonlarm]

Vlad had the slim shady ep before Eminem was born

[@nelsonm5564]

Jon lmao, thanks bro

[@haroldjordan4430]

Lol

[@oldaltaccount6303]

Vlad had ssep in his mom womb

[@shortbus1127]

"I had the slim shady ep before Eminem ever made it" -Vlad

[@twitchoff1114]

He meant before Eminem became successful (made it)

[@justinrandy5132]

I'm tired of hearing Vlad mention the slim shady ep he had

[@QueenKongCOB]

justin randy Bro like EVERY TIME😴

[@PharaohChin]

Royce tells that story of his brother dealing with alcohol abuse, and the fights he had over it with his father, on the album. 🔥 album btw

[@revxcontent]

Pharaoh Chin him and his brother battled alcohol his dad's drug of choice was cocaine, what album did you listen to?

[@cruelkindness5544]

Best album of the year so far

[@Lcarter52]

EVERY ROYCE INTERVIEW EVER: Interviewer: your new album is crazy, I listened to it from beginning to end Royce: Thanks man, it's my best album to date. Interviewer: So how did you meet Eminem....

[@AntMcQueen558]

Shout out to Royce for mentioning Denaun. Denaun is no joke on them beats, man.

[@Dana-tm4ti]

*Vlad in any interview about Eminem ever* "I remember having the ssep I got it off this website sandbox automatic.."

[@BMill88]

Royce and Em been spitting 🔥 together

[@NCWCENT]

“The Book Of Ryan” Classic 💯➕

[@Milanvaneijk]

Royce keeps 100 in every interview I see him. He really seemed to has disconnected from his own ego in a very deep way. I know it sounds like I'm high as fuck. But the dude is just so open and honest about everything.

[@Paris__Michael]

Loving these Royce interviews man!🔥💯 Royce needs to be a regular on here, fa 'sho!

[@kinglouis1993]

Dope interview

[@jogeshkumarsharma2969]

Royce - i'm not feeling good please call ambulance Vladtv - ok tell something about eminem

[@leebocappo848]

R.I.P. Proof I loved him in 8 Mile he was Lil Tic

[@sanni0812]

Kaleal Miller wtf... y’all typing this just to get traffic...

[@trifeali7128]

[@mommyofceos]

The Book Of Ryan 🔥🔥🔥

[@gamezillagaming5625]

Royce is a legend. Bars on bars. So sick.

[@daniel_najar]

Royce has always been dope but right now he’s in his prime as a rapper

[@rossvegas7]

Daniel Najar true

[@SupaDooba]

you'll never catch Royce leaving his crib without a Tigers cap and some Cartiers

[@luiskuraica2907]

tone j y’all Detroit niggas love them white buffs I know a couple of my bois from out there sayin you finna lose ya life walking round with them bitches on

[@thegamingchef3304]

Only thing missing is a Dixie cup

[@thegamingchef3304]

Only thing missing is a Dixie cup

[@oppisjappatv172]

Yeah, i actually saw in an interview/mini doc with a guy who sells vintage jewlerey that said Detroit has the most vintage Caritier glasses in us.

[@benjaminlicina4421]

Every fucking time you bring Royce in youre asking him about eminem. I love eminem man, but this is becoming fucking disrespectful to Royce on a huge level

[@JordanMac79]

Benjamin Licina he cant interview em so he does it through Royce. I feel u but Royce don't need vlad to make his name big. We all know who he is and what he is about

[@MICDaBoss1]

One of the greatest of all time

[@VGV2120]

The question on how he met Eminem should stop. We know already if u don't know check his song Tabernacle or his older interviews

[@shadycady5319]

Nickel 9 is so underrated... I have a lot of respect for him!! Great interview Vlad you are the best!!

[@yusufayaz2356]

You gotta ask these questions to Em himself. Love Royce so much. He talks so much sense man! I'm touched and amazed. What he says about his younger wilder self beefing and going around strapped is so enlightening.

[@justhewop]

Honestly feel like I heard Royce answer these exact questions a few times before

[@hadbl12]

I really respect this man... lyrical beast... but he’s a mature man who kicked some real knowledge in this interview...much respect

[@mikeg7244]

Man VLAD is torturing this guy with Eminem stories 😅😅😅, i feel bad for 5’9, every interview will turn into Eminem story . Every time i see him i expect him to talk about Eminem 😅😅😅

[@frankdobbs7862]

Royce lookin fresh off the shelf right in here boy

[@italianstalian331]

Diggin the new orange wall ... Very noticeable

[@shane3350]

All my life I thought the past tense of "squeeze" was "squeezed".

[@evonoob8200]

*SqWoZe*

[@jenwal420]

It's a Detroit thing

[@stephenrooney8442]

Royce and Jamar should do a debate video about certain subjects, would be interesting

[@evanrs85]

I can relate because I didn’t drink until I was 21 as well but I’ve learned to control it

[@LLBsmooth6]

Even when I was on Em's side...I still stuck up for Royce against haters, cause Royce has always been fire. So happy when they finally got back together.

[@mercythemessenger6983]

I love Royce, but how many times are they gonna ask him about meeting Eminem? He already explained that on VladTv and has a song about it. 😒

[@fredrickjohnson7711]

why Vlad be making that noise Everytime before he's talks

[@kapppgjiio8515]

He thinking about Eminem dick

[@TheJDeuce]

[@KD_SWAGGER]

Eminem is a legend!

[@dryiceVEVO]

*BOMB FIRST* by *ROYCE* is one of the best hip hop records *EVER* 💯

[@forrealforreal8723]

I would like to see Eminem do a album with premier

[@taylorskidmore2760]

Vlad: When I heard the Slim Shady EP, which I copped in Soviet Russia in 1979, I knew Eminems would become the greatest rapper in the world of all time. So how did you meet Eminem? I know I asked you last time but I'm trying to get some clicks here work with me.

[@AnthonyfromtheD]

Eminem.... Eminem.... Eminem...

[@murphmane7804]

Massacre from 50 was a classic album as well...

[@italiancapo7]

Royce not a hood dude. He grew up in the suburbs outside of Detroit and D12 use to diss him about it. But he good dude is hopefully making the money he should. His Death is Certain is a classic but most fans never heard of it. He and Em killed it on that new Caterpillar joint.

[@trifeali7128]

NihilTimendumEst when you dont know wtf your talking about

[@jasongoldstein6614]

NihilTimendumEst Your crazy 9 was all over.

[@tyronl.peyton2456]

It's clear Vlad doesn't listen to the music. Everything he's asking Royce has addressed in his music or in other interviews smh

[@ogbuster07]

Wow I had no idea Royce is friends with eminem.

[@Brian00007]

ogbuster07 lol

[@Ghoodaytoday]

ogbuster07 Who would have knew?

[@jamespettyjohn4330]

If you paid attention! Man they released an album together!

[@JustMe-mo6xk]

James Pettyjohn that was sarcasm bro 🙂

[@jamespettyjohn4330]

Livia Kai don't scare me like that! Most youngins don't keep up on stuff like that! Sorry I missed the joke! I was truly worried for a minute, respect.

[@jamessummers5936]

Now wait a minute, on Boblo Boat he references taking his first sip with his big bro, he says he didn't know they would both grow up to be alcoholics. Unless his big bro tried to get him to drink and he never did.

[@FormerlyKnownAsArt]

Shout out to everyone who be squozing shit in they schedule

[@PassTheStickSir]

Some of these questions would be directly answered if you listened to a few of Royce's songs Vlad. Like maybe sum stuff from Layers...

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

*English* Verb squoze (nonstandard, humorous) simple past tense and past participle of squeeze.

[@_12346.]

this comment section is half “squoze” comments and half “vlad always talking about eminem his slim shady ep instead of asking royce actual questions”

[@wisexrob7824]

Dam his manger since 97 that says alot

[@egsyphron]

Did Vlad even listen to Book of Ryan? Or layers ? The questions he is asking him are in those albums

[@OCTANEdaKID]

Wassup wit anotha slaughter house album tho ???

[@BeachChairz]

I swear Vlad brought up that Beef DVD to Royce before.

[@gandluck]

Is "sqoze" an actual word?

[@SnipingMaYo]

6:32 " how do you look at yoursel.... How do you look at that situation? 😂

[@medelhavskorv7947]

When Vlad gon get his damn eminem interview, we’ve been listening to more interviews about em from Vlad than from fucking em.

[@TatiSaysSo]

The only song I remember this guy from is Willa Ford I wanna be bad

[@rakabash2081]

Vlad basically lied when he said to Royce that he had never asked him how he met Eminem. Royce answered that question in 2013 to Vlad. Royce is gracious and understanding of questions about he and Em's creative partnership but I wish in this instance turned into the drunk nigga he was and went off on his ass. Royce just dropped arguably the best rap album this year. Acknowledge Royce for his music and contributions to the game.

[@mistaseeforce]

I never drank b4 21 and my dad was a cop alcoholic ... i was just like royce .. that drink shyt was abad look

[@iletaMarchita]

vlad: I had the recording of Ems first WORDS, not rap, WORDS, I got that recording of him when he was a baby. Before Dre came in.

[@valoruniversity]

Vlad could have had an excellent interview with Royce and had him sharing his knowledge and experiences in the game, but he decided to question him on some Eminem shit

[@petrinafagan722]

I love em but give Royce some fucking respect

[@MeTriviSlipKlokDriva]

Fuck man Royce used to wild too. Does anyone remember that video where he pulled out a fucking Bazooka lmaooo I think it was directed at Benzino or something. Shit was hilarious bruh so over the top

[@rossvegas7]

The book of Ryan cd is a fuckin great album, open your ears young un's...

[@kenwigginsii6065]

It's like ice cube always being asked about eazy e...

[@eh712]

Kenneth Wiggins or the Outlaws with tupac, or Talib Kweli about Kanye West, or DJ Clark Kent about Jay Z.

[@eh712]

Kenneth Wiggins oh and Lloyd banks about 50 Cent.

[@pandroidigital]

00:13 "Squoze" Really nigga?

[@LyricalTrain]

Royce and Em together is fucking nasty 🥶🤮

[@skaiharbor]

If anything, the only thing good that came outta the Royce/D12 beef was Death Is Certain

[@m_w501]

Where Did He Get His Name? Royce Da 5 Foot 9 Inches?

[@JustMe-mo6xk]

Marquis Wilburn he use to wear a medallion that looked like the Rolls-Royce emblem. He and a friend were on the high school basketball team and were both 5'9 so they called each other that. He then became Royce da 5'9 and it stuck.

[@Q_pun_saves]

DJ Vlad just love getting his rocks off when he hears about Eminem.

[@phaizrok]

yo is SQUOZED a word?? lol

[@coreyjohnston9195]

What you mean you haven't asked when Royce actually met em ......

[@buffysummer319]

Hi

[@The3500]

what good bro, Aye we just start a KZbin, we discuss / debate hip hop topics. Just two friends that love hip hop.

[@thedudeabidess]

these fckin youtube commercials

[@91Definite]

It's ashame...Vlad really spoke on that shit about rappers that made bad decisions. Example; Shyheim! Kid was so nice but his ass kept fucking up being with guys in the streets who weren't about shit. Still to this day his first 3 albums are pure hip hop to me..But Royce has grown up since the Beef II documentary. I definitely miss Proof, seems like the most unique people end up being gone before everyone else. #ripproof

[@vkt.e.z2653]

I'm from the D are y'all telling squoze is not an actual word like y'all never heard it b4 wow it was so normal I aint hear it

[@stalthalion]

How tf do you spell sqwoze sqose sckwoows sqouse scqouze.... idk man!!

[@WILD__THINGS]

PR4Y_F0R_PR3Y However you want. It's a made up word

[@harveyeinstein421]

There's literally Vlad's video in my recommendations titled "Royce da 59 on meeting Eminem" so quit lying Vladimir

[@Kn1ghtMayor]

I used to say squoze too.

[@madmax408SJ]

Deante Young right? When I was a kid

[@Kn1ghtMayor]

It sucks you work with eminem even once and you'll be asked about him the rest of your life cuz iv seen it with that phresher dude

[@JordanMac79]

jofer antonio phresher is trash. Listen to Chloraseptic remix and youll understand why

[@ShadowTheGhozt]

All i was saying that even if you work with him 1 time youll be asked about eminem everytime they get interviewed

[@DaveTricks_]

[@doomzday4623]

"it was just so obvious how much better he was than everybody else" LMAO Vlad was so easily impressed by Em like that, foh lame. no Hip Hop head thought Em was way better than rest of the pack as a MC.

[@asimghaffar8148]

Well from 2000 to 2003, Eminem was, in my opinion, the best musician on the planet. Fucking garbage now though.

[@doomzday4623]

best musician tho??! Em is a rapper mainly, and he could make some dope beats occasionally but sheesh. my point was well to mainstream America Em was the best MC I guess.. but to Hip Hop heads? hell no. "was just so obvious how much better he was than everybody" that's Vlad opinion, no heads thought that kinda shit.

[@asimghaffar8148]

I say musician because the production Eminem was doing back in those years was fucking amazing. Apart from Business, Say What You Say and My Dad's Gone Crazy, ALL the songs from The Eminem Show were produced by him. Superman and 'Till I Collapse are some of the best beats I've ever heard. Then there's songs like Warrior Part 2 (Lloyd Banks song) which was, I believe produced by Em and that beat was incredible. Akon's Smack That was produced by Em and that beat is amazing as well.

[@doomzday4623]

hmm good points on Em's production, yeah he honestly made some very dope beats. don't forget Nas "the cross" beat from God's Son too he produced that. a few joints on 50's Get Rich album too but I forgot the tracks.

[@asimghaffar8148]

Doomzday46 Exactly. As a producer, I feel Eminem doesn't receive the credit he is due. I'm not sure how his production was received critically back in the early to mid 2000s but his production back then was very good. Like I said, he's fucking garbage now.

[@julianlavalley7454]

I would have whooped Royce's daddy
