#RoyceDa59

[@IanElliottCarter]

One of the most underrated artists of the century

[@brandonayong752]

" I am nice but Royce ...He is on a whole other level . I get anxiety from rapping alongside him and if he is not in your list i'm sorry but i can't take your opinion seriously " Eminem

[@ALMUDDY]

The Controversity Almuddy is too

[@victorfine5094]

Brandon Ayong never heard that interview but I felt that from Em whenever they rap together. Like Em is going 110 and Royce 90 but it equals out every time

[@levil4012]

He's DEFINITELY a SCARFACE, one of the most underrated in the hip hop industry

He will always be in my top 5 with Styles P and Jadakiss

Zac Smith obviously you need to be educated do some research, you probably loosely use that word on wack niggas like young boy or lil baby or young thug.......loser

Top of the most underrated rappers of all time. He's a true MC. Lyrical assassin.

[@giordanobruno7943]

Man it’s so refreshing hearing someone that doesn’t have an inflated ego and has things to say that layman can relate to. Big up big homie Royce

[@shanteljenkins3135]

great ness Eminem is not the founder of shit

[@taffygore6285]

great ness wow lmao

[@claytonbrown5849]

I believe half of that is by design, half is just the climate of music. Royce is a recluse, doesn’t go out much, stays to himself, doesn’t take his social media as gospel.. he kinda repels the potential shine he’d usually get. Mix that with the substance of his music & what all the streamers gravitate toward.. they don’t click like that. But us real ones know.. & I think that’s all Royce cares about is the quality of his music & those who truly appreciate him. Them fickle dudes don’t even belong around here.

[@greatness8248]

@I Am you. eminem turned rap into poetry he is the david blaine of rap it's just magical.

[@JaePhalcon]

Royce is one of those artist who have made not just an impact on hip hop. But a mark on hip-hop

[@joshuaedwards5339]

Eminem last 2 albums were dope. Quit hating

[@MaccaveliPL]

@MrSpliffstarz Relapse was dope.

[@seaberry11]

MrSpliffstarz Revival was dope lyrically, people just weren’t used to hearing Em with a message (even though he made Toy Soldiers, Stan and others) even though they say he never has a message.

[@wayne2746]

Nathaniel Seaberry is lyrics the only criteria to make an album good?

[@seaberry11]

john wayne I said the album was good lyrically, the message was good, some of the songs didn’t hit so it hurt the album. It wasn’t his best album but, it was five times better than most of the albums that came out that year.

[@ahmadu82]

Royce been NICE . . . Who knew the original "RENEGADE" (Jay & Em) was with Royce & Em first?

[@rogso6581]

Royce cadence was basically eminem's dead wrong cadence. That's why it was easier to take him off and added Jay. That's why it's so dumb that renegade is debated on who killed who. Doesnt matter. It was em song. Jay z just filled it in and killed it. Jay z and em in their prime shouldnt be debated
