Royce 5’9″ responds recent allegations against Eminem

Eminem is not the only one Benzino is beefing with. Him and The Game’s manager Wack 100 are feuding again. Wack recently shared an audio of Benzino snitching on someone on his Instagram. Under the post, Royce da 5’9” commented: “Man, ain’t nothing to be throwing lead at… He’ll make sure his nephew gets thrown in the pokey and then sleep like a baby so he can wake up tomorrow and go to the only place that believes he would crack an egg… The white boy comment section…”

Someone replied to Royce: “Just an Eminem coat tail rider, what’s your comment on him disrespecting black women on those tapes? Silent.” Royce replied back: “You want me to address something from over 20 years ago? Why you wanna hear my thoughts on that if I’m a coattail rider? What’s your thoughts on Post Malone leaked audio? Justin Bieber? Never mind… You don’t care about any of them because none of these tapes affected you… It sucks to hear the s–t but we got bigger problems in our community than name calling… And your man ain’t took one step to elevate Black women since the Source’s inception… He hasn’t even elevated his child to a higher regard… And she a whole superstar… He a drug addict with serious mental health issues, who’s not fit to lead anyone anywhere… Now go sit your a-s down somewhere and stop addressing men you don’t know on social media… And if you know him personally, get him the help he needs before you end up at his funeral…”

On that, same person responded: “I’m not a fan of Post Malone or Justin Bieber so since I post about Eminem, I have to mention the other culture vultures? What has Eminem ever done to elevate the Black community, in anyway? I’ll wait. As a matter of fact, I know personally, Benzino has done a lot for Black community in Boston, has done a lot to stop gang violence, etc. Plus, his relationship with his daughter, is noon of social media business. We have no idea, what goes on behind closed doors. But, again, what has Em done for the Black community? Detroit community? Least are Proof’s children and family taken care of? Plus, I don’t care if it was 1000 years ago, do we forget about slavery? HELL NO.”

Again, Royce replied: “Well, I’m a Chief executive to the Marshall Mathers Foundation so I can answer that… My job is to make sure funds are disseminated to the right places and in the right amounts… Ever since the Pandemic there’s a fund in place that is set aside specifically for Black and Brown issues in underserved communities… Starting in Detroit… I’ve already spearheaded a Mental Health initiative… Dollar amounts are millions and higher… And yes, you do have to mention Post Malone and others… Fun Fact: Every single lyrical rapper got a record deal in Detroit after Em blew up… Everybody… Name another White rapper with multiple bros around him who are all touching 7 or more figures? And when you realize there are none, maybe you’ll address them… And tell Zino to stop saying Interscope “put black people around him.” That’s ridiculous… And I don’t know Proof’s widow personally so I couldn’t tell you her financial situation… That’s their business.”

Actually, those so-called racist tapes of Eminem were recorded 35 years ago, not twenty. When Eminem was 15 years old and heartbroken from his relationship with Black girl. Eminem even apologized for it on a song “Yellow Brick Road” from Encore album. In the song, Em raps: “Back in ’89, me And Kim broke up for the first time; she was tryin’ to two-time me And there was this black girl at our school, who thought I was cool ‘Cause I rapped, so she was kinda eyein’ me And oh the irony, guess what her name was? Ain’t even gonna say it, plus The same color hair as hers was and blue contacts And a pair of jugs, the bombest goddamn girl in our whole school If I could pull her, not only would I become more popular But I would be able to piss Kim off at the same time But it backfired I was supposed to dump her but she dumped me for this black guy And that’s the last I ever seen or heard Or spoke to the “Ole Foolish Pride” girl, but I’ve heard People say they heard the tape and it ain’t that bad But it was: I singled out a whole race And for that I apologize, I was wrong ‘Cause no matter what color a girl is, she’s still a…”

Yelawolf shows love to Royce Da 5’9″ first time after falling out

Few years ago, Royce da 5’9” and Yelawolf had fallen out. The two were taking shots back and forth on Instagram. In January, 2020 Royce put his former label mate on notice with the song “Overcomer,” featuring Westside Gunn.

Royce discussed the feud in a interview with Real 92.3. While he did not reveal the actual reason that led to the beef, he spoke on the underlying issue. “It falls into the category of respect. He did something I felt was disrespectful. There was a window of time where he could have called me to clarify or just say something to me. He didn’t even think he needed to call me—he didn’t even extend me that respect. It was something that happened behind closed doors and he knew I knew about it. I took offense to it, and how I handled it was addressing it on a song. I felt it was the only way I could handle it—for me to air it out publicly would imply I’m using it as a vehicle to push an album or be vindictive. I’m not a vindictive person…I felt the only way to do it was let him know it’s on my radar. I’m aware.”

In December, 2020 Royce was a bit more explicit about why he and Yela weren’t seeing eye-to-eye. “It’s a situation going on, especially in hip-hop. We have all kinds of different people, but we have a type of person in particular. We have white people, white people who come into the business and they use the culture. We got some white people that come in and use that, and then go and do very evil things behind closed doors—very evil, racist things behind closed doors.” said Royce in Joe Budden Podcast.

After “Overcomer” track dropped, Royce took to Instagram to call out Yelawolf for a since-deleted post where Yela blasted the Detroit rapper: “I can remove you quicker than you Deleted this post, David Duke and nobody can stop me,” Royce wrote, responding to Yela, who said, “Yo @eminem get your hype man before the wolves do …I ain’t worried.” Allegedly, Yelawolf used to use the N word inside his close circle which lead Royce to feel the way he felt.

In the new interview with Bootleg Kev, Yelawolf talked about it and said that the beef is in the past now and he still loves and respects Royce.

“I love Royce. I have not spoken to him since that incident happened. But that’s my dude. I don’t harbor any bad feeling about Royce. I have not spoken to him, like I said, since that time but at the end of the day, we did a lot of great things together. A lot of amazing moments happened with my boy and it’s all good. For me, it’s all good. It is what it is.” said Yelawolf.

Then he continued: “DJ Premier, Royce, me…C’mon, there’s a lot of moments. Royce and Rittz. Royce, Marshall, myself. F–king gang. There’s history there that I can’t just make disappear and to put some discrepancy or disagreement or whatever it is. Whatever. To me it’s water under the bridge. Period.”

After teaming up with Detroit’s own Courtney Bell, Royce 5’9″ jumps on a track with MRK SX on the latest Long Story Longer single, “Run The Light,” produced by T.Mo.

“Congrats to my good Bruddah @mrk_sx on the release of his new song featuring myself … It’s called #RunTheLights. Streaming Everywhere … S/O @fatbeats.” said Royce on Instagram.

MRK SX also expressed his feelings about new single on Instagram: “In 25 years of recording and mixing my songs, I have NEVER allowed anyone to touch the mix of my music…..But, this song was so so important to me, and I didn’t want to mess it up. I couldn’t think of a better person, man, sound genius than @amondjackson (the recent Grammy award winner btw) to make sure everything was perfect. Not only did he do an amazing job on the mix, I’ve approached mixing my own vocals totally different based on what he did to them. The list of artists that he’s worked with is far too long for this post, but I assure you that you’ve heard his work many times whether you knew it or not. Just wanted to thank my brother and to say that it has been an honor and privilege to get to know him, and learn from him over the years. “Run The Light” featuring @royceda59 is brought to you by @longstorylonger21 @fatbeats and the record was produced by @tmo_music @trackoholiks.”

“Run The Light” is the first single from Long Story Longer Presents Ras Kass, Yukmouth, Swifty McVay, and MRK SX (Deluxe Edition) and is being released through iconic hip hop label Fatbeats. LSL is taking the industry by storm in 2024 with new music from the likes of Crooked I, D12, Yukmouth, Stevie Stone, Jon Connor, and Horseshoe Gang just to name a few.

DJ Premier talks how him & Royce 5’9″ formed PRhyme, says PRhyme 3 is extraordinary

Legendary hip-hop producer DJ Premier talks with Noah Callahan-Bever of Idea Generation about a journey from his early days as part of the duo Gang Starr, to producing for then up-and-coming rapper Jay-Z and helping to shape his sound, to carving his own lane, forming PRhyme with Royce 5’9″ and becoming one of the greatest producers in hip-hop history.

“Mike has pitched this idea, it was during them working on Slaughterhouse, but it was taking so long and Mike was like ‘how about y’all do a project like a quick EP where you use Adrien Young’s sound only and make a quick EP of Slaughterhouse.’ I was very against it. I was like ‘nah, I like to dig and make beats through digging.’ Everybody was leaning on me about it and it just went silent.” said DJ Premier.

Then he continued: “Time passed, Royce hits me again like ‘what me and you gon’ do?’ Royce was just getting sober and had not rapped a long time. And for me knowing the not sober Royce, his bars, his delivery is always on point, sometimes you sober up…I’m glad he’s sober because the most cleanest and healthy lifestyle is the best, that does not mean that you gonna still pull off the Royce that we all know and love. So, I remember I was in LA for some business. I met Amanda Demme there. She told me I’m photographer and she was like ‘I gotta show my stuff, it’s real wicked.’ She starts showing me all her stuff and I’m like ‘yo, this s–t is bugged out, damn.’ She asked ‘what do you working on?’ I said me and Royce are doing this project, it’s gonna be called DJ Premier, Royce Da 5’9″, we are not PRhyme yet. She’s like ‘you should let me do pictures for y’all.’ I’m like ‘with all these weird a-s pictures?? We gotta look like hip-hop s–t’ and she goes like ‘nah, it should be art! Let me do something creative.’ I was like ‘I’ll introduce you to Royce whenever we get to that point.”

“The next day, we are about to fly back and I’m packing my stuff. We have not heard anything from PRhyme yet. I had already made 3 beats that I gave to Royce and he said ‘I’m gonna work on them and let you hear what I did and see if you like where I’m going cause I have not rapped in so long. So you tell me if I still sound like Royce.’ When I was packing I decided to go Puff’s party. Right when I go downstairs and get a ride to the party, Royce texted me and goes ‘just sent the first song, tell me what you think.’ I was like ‘damn man, I’m leaving in the morning, I’ll listen to it tomorrow.’ But when I’m getting to the door to go to the lobby, I was like ‘let me listen to it now, it’s either him sounding Royce or I’m gonna tell him falling off,’ man, the song PRhyme is what he sent, as soon as I turned it on, I’m like ‘HE’S BACK’! And I listened to the rest of it, I’m like ‘he sounds like when he drinks, but he’s sober!’ I called him ‘dude, you are back! That’s the Royce I was hoping to hear! Let’s get this album cracking!'”

“Royce stays up in so many different hours. He’ll call you at all different types of hours of the day. He’ll stay up for five days straight, not sleep, just be recording. He’s like a Kanye in that regard. Right before I get to the airport, he goes ‘yo, how about we call ourselves a name like a group? Instead of being DJ Premier and Royce Da 5’9″‘ I was like ‘you got a name?’ he’s like ‘how about we call ourselves PRhyme?’ P and R is capital, P is for Premier and R is for Royce and ‘hyme’ just encompasses everything of hip-hop together. I was like ‘I like that.’ Started coming up with logos. He was like ‘yo, Eminem’s art guy is really good. Can we use Eminem’s art guy to do something? He showed me PRhyme logo and I liked it. And he said, from now on, we are PRhyme!”

“We have PRhyme, PRhyme 2, I love PRhyme 2 and PRhyme 3 is a doozy! That’s all I can say. That one we are not going to announce until it’s done but you are definitely going to be like ‘oh, sh-t!'” DJ Premier added. You can watch the interview below:

Royce 5’9″ responds after Benzino accused him of ghostwriting for Eminem

Benzino has recently admitted to having help writing his Eminem diss track but claims he spit the rhymes and “killed it.” He also said that Royce 5’9” sometimes ghostwrote for Eminem too.

In the video clip, shared few days ago, Zino says: “People ask if somebody else wrote it. Look, I was in the studio, and I was in the studio with some guys and I was writing and they was passing me lines and it was just, yeah, you got the team. It’s alright. I’m sure Eminem is also in the studio with Royce and Royce give him lines. All the amazing lyricists that he has been around, you don’t think they gave him a line or two? It’s hip-hop. It’s okay! Bottom line was, I spit it and the bottom line was, I killed it. And bottom line was, a lot of s–t I’ve been researching for years, as far as the stuff that’s in it. Yeah, of course I wrote that.”

In response, Royce commented on Diverse Mentality‘s Instagram post, saying: “I’m tying to figure out how my name always finds its way into THIS conversation… You getting distracted, Champ.. Focus on the task at hand.. I guess you’re shocking the world right now, so your mind is all over the place .. I understand and I ain’t mad at you. Lemme just clarify 2 things real quick…FIRST: You said “I’m sure when Em is in the studio ROYCE gives him a line here and there” Wrong.. THAT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.. Not even once… But to each his own…”

Royce continued: ‘SECOND, I’m not at the crib all day “sitting on my money” nor am I paying attention to everything to “Keep up with what’s hot”.. WTF, Do I look like to trying to relate to rappers my son’s age? Hanging out with them at parties and all that… Man.. I hate what this Culture does to our elders…Smh… Rooting this guy on knowing He shouldn’t be this excited about this. He helped create the Source … Goof up the rest of your legacy without me my Bruddah.. I’m good…

But Benzino did not stop. He continues to accuse Royce Da 5’9 of ghostwriting for Eminem and says he has insider information if it needs to be released. He said on Instagram: “I just got word from an insider in Skittles camp that his boot shiner Royce has wrote many tracks for him. His name is even on the songs he wrote. He’s been getting publishing from them. That’s how he eats.”

Benzino continued in the next post on Instagram, saying: “I finally got the proof I needed. Someone in their inner circle just confirmed it. Royce has ghostwroted for your rap god Eminem. Neither one of them p-ssies have responded and when they do I will not only release more diss tracks but I will also release the info I have that proves it. So stay tuned hip-hop, it’s about to go really crazy.”

Royce 5’9″ responds Icewear Vezzo ‘s interview about him & Eminem

Icewear Vezzo has recently sat down with Math Hoffa and the crew on the latest episode of My Expert Opinion where the Detroit rapper talked about the misunderstanding he had with Eminem, which led to a phone call from Royce 5’9″.

During the interview, Icewear Vezzo said: “Eminem owes us nothing bro. And I think he was thinking we want something from him. We don’t want nothing from you bro. I practice when I preach. Every time a young ni–a come up in my city, I reach out and I’m like ‘ey bro what you need? Is it a verse? It’s a connection? It’s some advice?’ They appreciate that s–t. That s–t go a long way. So, sometimes that’s all it takes. At the end of the day, that’s EMINEM my ni–a! But that’s all it ever take bro. ‘Hey bro, look, I see you my ni–a. You doing good but this one where you going wrong, you can do this, you can’t do that, this s–t look good, that s–t don’t look good, all right my ni–a, I see you in 50 years.’ I’mma appreciate that s–t bro. That s–t would take me a long way. Cause I do that. That’s all it take. I feel like that s–t don’t cost nothing for nobody. Not saying he owns that to ni–as. It’s just being a boss. We don’t know nothing but few words my ni–a and if you don’t go that for us, it’s all love. But don’t feel awkward when we do get where we get and we push you out. Now we pushing you out. Now you ain’t part of this. Now you ain’t getting no credit for turning the city up. Where Detroit at right now, you ain’t getting none of this credit. We did that.”

Then he continued: “Royce 5’9″ that’s Em’s homie. Homies do a lot of s–t for ni–as. He put calls in. He ain’t talk about it. He don’t post about it. None of that s–t but Royce makes real phone calls. He show ni–as love. He get ni–as real game. He ain’t never had to give a ni–a a dollar or feature or some studio time. None of that s–t. We got our own money bro. And it don’t hurt to tap in and see where my mind at bro. It just takes a few minutes to check a ni–a temperature. I ain’t the only one who said something. We all say s–t about that. And I think we put Em in the position to make him feel like we expecting something or we think dude owe us and it ain’t that bro. So I synced him and it was all love and the first thing I though about was ‘oh you do know who I am?! Damn! Okay!'”

Royce cut the part of the video where Icewear Vezzo was talking about him and posted on Instagram with the caption: “Love and Respect @icewear_vezzo … We gon figure all of this out so we can put this narrative to bed. Once and for all… #DetroitVsEverybody.” And Vezzo replied in the comments: “Real respect.” You can check the post below:

Just Blaze considers leaking canceled Slaughterhouse album, shares TWO songs!

Back in 2008, Joe Budden joined forces with hip-hop lyricists Royce da 5’9”, KXNG Crooked, and Joell Ortiz to form the hit-making group Slaughterhouse. The moniker originated from a Budden song of the same name featuring the other artists.

Their self-titled debut album arrived in 2009 and their sophomore LP, Welcome To: Our House, dropped in 2012 under Eminem’s Shady Records. But in April 2018, the MCs parted ways and the supergroup was no more.

Earlier this year, Joe Budden reflected on Slaughterhouse’s disbanding during an interview on Drink Champs: “Come on, give me the blame; I’ll take it. I’ll take the blame. I ruined everything. Everything that you loved, I ruined that s–t.” said Joe.

Slaughterhouse was reportedly in the midst of recording their third album, Glass House, when the members left to work on their own careers. In a since-deleted Instagram post, KXNG Crooked explained back then that music ceased to become the main focus. “The group ain’t rapping no more and that’s fine. It was fun while it lasted. Glass House, I have no clue. All I can tell you [is] it exists. If it comes out, I’ll retweet it. Other than that, it’s all love. Everybody who supported me in Slaughterhouse, thank you.”

Glass House has yet to see the light of day, but Crooked has continued to collaborate with fellow Slaughterhouse alum Joell Ortiz. The duo released a joint project, H.A.R.D., in 2020. The two linked up again in March 2022 for the album The Rise and Fall of Slaughterhouse, which contained songs like the pointedly titled “F*kglasshouse.”

Today, Just Blaze made a tweet on X that might turn everything upside down! “I just found the slaugherhouse album. Jesus this is great. I might do the lords work.” Just Blaze said and shared two songs from the album!

Rakim names best match-up to go against Eminem, Royce 5’9″ reacts

Rakim, the God emcee, has recently shared a picture of Eminem and Black Thought on Instagram, asking fans what they think about the match-up: “Conversation of the day!! Talk about it in the comments. I’ll be watching.” – Rakim wrote in the caption.

Royce 5’9″ was quick to respond in the comments: “They have the words on a string … Like a yo-yo … The two most extreme examples of lyrical overachiever that you could pair together .. We’re not worthy.”

Rakim’s post also divided hip-hop fans into half. One user replied: “Both are èlite lyricist, I’d rather see them collab than go against each other! Em’s storytelling and rhyme schemes with Thought’s lyricism and flow are a deadly combination.” Another commented: “Black Thought, by a convincing margin, only because of the congruence of his bars. Em is extremely skilled and make words rhyme (whole sentences at times), but they don’t always make sense, or have the degree of depth that a Black Thought displays effortlessly…(one man’s opinion)” Someone said: “The mechanics of Em do not offer the nuance, soul, education, or relatability that Thought bestows.. though I would love to hear Em over more soulful tracks, personally I’d still rock with Tariq.”

Royce 5’9″ talks about early relationship with Eminem, meeting Dr. Dre & more

Royce 5’9″ has recently sat down with Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg on Juan EP Is Life podcast, where the Detroit legend talked about Hip-Hop Shop days with Eminem, how their friendship formed, meeting Dr. Dre for the first time, his career highlights and more.

About Hip-Hop Shop

“After the school graduation, I started going to Hop-Hop Shop. First time I went to Hip-Hop Shop I rapped and I got gonged. I almost was not a rapper. That killed my confidence. I thought I was not ready. I walked in there and I seen Proof, Elzhi, Marshall, all of them killers. Hip-Hop Shop was an open mic slash clothing sore that was owned by Maurice Malone. So what you do is, you stand around in the circle and Proof is like the host, he just passes the mic around. If you get it, you gotta rap. And DJ Head is up top on the ones and twos and if you don’t get reaction fast enough then he puts on gong music and you gotta pass the mic. Proof was known as the best emcee. When I walked in there, I didn’t know anybody. I already heard about Proof. Marshall did not rap that day.”

After Hip-Hop Shop / meeting Eminem

“After I succeeded at the Hip-Hop Shop, I just kept going. Bad Meets Evil the vinyl was probably the first thing that I was a part of. Around ’97. I heard ‘Infinite’ before I met Marshall. ‘Infinite’ and ‘The Slim Shady EP.’ Mr. Porter produced the whole ‘Infinite’ album. Me and Eminem get close as soon as we met. I met him the night my son was born. We have already heard about each other. I was opening up for Usher at the show. He heard me kick the acapella on stage. And he asked me to meet me. So, we met each other, exchanged numbers and we started talking on the phone and that’s how the song Bad Meets Evil ended up happening. Once we did that, he took a liking to me, he got his deal with Dre and the rest is history.

About Bad Meets Evil deal

John Schechter, he’s a good friend of mine but he was introduced me through Paul Rosenberg who’s Em’s partner. I already had friendly relationship with Paul Rosenberg. I can’t remember exactly all the particulars but Paul wanted to set it up to where Em can do things outside of his deal. Also to help build me. So we just kept doing s–t together. And at that time, I also became Em’s hypeman for a minute. We were just together all the time. We were just building.

Meeting Dr. Dre

I remember sending out my demos to Marshall when he was out in Cali so he can listen to the songs. I get the call one day, my dad comes into the room and says ‘Ryan, It’s Dr. Dre on the phone for you.’ I answered the phone like ‘hello’ and he’s like ‘Yo what’s up, it’s Dre.’ I’m like WOW. So, Marshall basically played my s–t for him and he was feeling my s–t. So he was like ‘would you be down to come out here and work with us?’ I said ‘hell yeah.’ So I went out to Cali and we started working on The Chronic two (2001). From there, I ended up signing a deal with Tommy Boy where my album was executive produced by Marshall.

Royce 5’9″ shows love to Eminem in two tracks from new EP

Royce 5’9” has released his much anticipated The Heaven Experience EP in partnership with Passage. The 6-tracks EP includes guest appearances from Redman, Courtney Bell and Traxx Sanders and productions from DJ Pain One, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and S.T.R.E.E.T.R.U.N.N.E.R.

Royce namedrops Eminem in two tracks from the EP. In the third verse of “Look At This” Royce raps: “I don’t need millions / I just hope Eminem know how I’m feelin / Cause workin with him is / Certainly an honor and privilege / First he got me my / deal then / Then my label just dropped me / I believe that was timing / Shady came back and signed me.”

In the second verse of “Grown A– Man” he raps: “This rap s–t’s designed to take all your confidence / The only genre you can fake all your accomplishments / Black music where calling you old is an insult / But if them same rappers happen to show up at a Jay-Z or Eminem show / They still gotta show a credential / I’ve never seen a young fighter punk Tyson…”
