Royce 5’9″ talks Eminem’s new album, says Eminem called him to get in the studio

Royce Da 5’9″ has recently done an interview with Kera Dangerous where the two talked about trending topics, asked by fans on social media.

One of the fans’ question came about Eminem: “I hate to ask cause I know Royce HATES Eminem questions but is Royce on the upcoming Eminem album?”

Royce replied: “I did not know I hated Eminem questions [Laughs]. No, let me clarify. I don’t hate the Em questions at all. Eminem is part of my journey. He’s such a big megastar and people don’t get to hear from him a lot. So I think when people look at my interviews, they enjoy me speaking about him in such as candid way. I call him Marshall and when I speak about him like he’s human, that’s interesting for people but it don’t bother me when people ask me Em questions. I’d be bothered if it stops. So with Em, I don’t mind answering this question about his album.”

Then he continues: “So, to answer your question Briccs, me and Em have few songs laying around in the tuck. I don’t know if any of them are going to be on his album as of yet and I don’t even know if he’s working on an album. I know he’s recording some songs right now. He called me couple of days ago and told me he wanted me to get into the studio sooner than later and check out some songs that he has but I don’t know what they are for. He is always recording, though.”

Royce 5’9″ reacts on Eminem refusing to perform at Super Bowl without 50 Cent

According to N.O.R.E., Eminem told Jay-Z he wasn’t going to perform at the 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl halftime show if he could not bring 50 Cent with him.

N.O.R.E. confirmed the story on the latest Drink Champs podcast with DJ EFN, which premiered on YouTube couple of days ago. The guest on the show was none other than hip-hop icon Snoop Doggy Dogg.

“Jay-Z told me ‘the White guy called for 50 Cent.’ I said, ‘Who is the White guy? Jimmy Iovine?’ And he said, ‘No, Eminem called directly for Fifty and he said I can not do it if I can not bring 50 with me. That is spiritual.” said N.O.R.E.

50 Cent was not happy with how Jigga addressed Eminem as a ‘white guy,’ so responded on Instagram post with a caption: “Why did he say the white boy, why he did not say the biggest rap artist in the world?”

Royce Da 5’9″ felt proud of Eminem for showing such loyalty, love and respect to Fifty. Royce shared Southpawer article screenshot on his Instagram with the caption: “I love my brother! Shady for life!”

Benzino talks squashing 20-years old beef with Eminem, asks Royce 5’9″ to apologize for attacking his daughter Coi Leray

Benzino has recently chatted with VLAD TV where the former The Source talked about squashing 20-years old beef with Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″ attacking his daughter Coi Leray on Twitter.

“Eminem’s fans are probably the most disrespectful fans but disrespectful in a way that they love their artist and you know what? I understand. They come at me with the stuff you can’t imagine and it’s been for years. I tried the ways to ignore it but the only way that I can put this to an end to not mess up my kid’s career, is to say, what I probably should have said long time ago, is that Eminem is a part of hip-hop. Eminem is a dope artist. He is a part of hip-hop regardless of what he said or done. People change. Who am I to judge.” said Benzino

“It’s not like I never liked Eminem songs. I like bunch of his songs. It’s not like he’s disrespecting me. It’s his fans. His fans are the worst bro. They are disrespectful. But Eminem is a part of hip-hop culture. He’s one of the best that ever rocked the mic. He’s very lyrically talented and if that’s what his fans needed to hear so that they can leave me alone, then so be it.” Benzino added.

Later in the interview, Zino talked about Royce attacking his daughter Coi Leray on Twitter: “Royce said pretty nasty things about my daughter and I’m hoping that he finds within himself to apologize. I believe what he said was not wanted. I hope he sees me being a bigger man and he can be a bigger man to apologize the s**t that he said about Coi because I took that serious. I will be in Detroit soon. Hopefully we can get face to face and it would be his best interest to apologize.”

Royce 5’9″ calls out Jimmy Iovine for ignoring The Game at LA Lakers game

After his appearance on Drink Champs last couple of week, The Game’s dissension with Dr. Dre and Interscope Records escalated quickly.

During the interview, The Compton rapper said Kanye West did more for him in a matter of weeks than Dr. Dre has his entire career.

It seems that the tension between Jimmy Iovine and The Game is real as a video clip surfaced this week where Game and Iovine crossed paths at the Lakers vs. 76ers game at the Staples Center without even looking at each other.

Royce Da 5’9″ used the opportunity to back up The Game and shade Jimmy Iovine on social media by sharing two video clips on Instagram. One video is from an interview where Jimmy Iovine said that there were not many partnerships between White and Black people, implying that he and Dre did it. Second video is Game and Iovine briefly crossing paths at the Lakers game.

In the caption, Royce wrote: “The music business in 2 slides,” along with a peace sign emoji and an eye-rolling emoji.

In support on Jimmy, Ben Baller, a former Vice President of A&R for Aftermath, commented: “Jimmy Iovine helped me get my job with Dre even though I knew Dre. Real talk? He did this to me tw times at a Lakers game and now we work together again! He is old bro. He probably did not even know Game.”

Royce 5’9″ reacts to The Game sayin he’s better than Eminem

During his recent appearance on Drink Champs with NORE and DJ EFN, The Game said he used to think Eminem was better than him but now he thinks he is not.

On a recent Instagram Livestream with producer Mike Zombie, who has been in the studio with Game, Royce 5’9″ offered his thoughts about the situation:

“I have seen it, whenever anybody mention Em’s name they make it a headline. … But I feel like, every MC should feel like that. Game is a monster. He will just have his hands full. Eminem is a hard dude to out-rap. Nine times out of 10, you will be sending him your verse or when he get your verse…he gonna aim to out-rap you. He probably ain’t get out-rapped ever, that competitive edge is always there.” – said Royce.

Mike Zombie, who recently recently produced Eminem’s “These Demons,” from Music To Be Murdered By album, added that The Game and Eminem should collab again for the culture.

“They have to do it for the culture… Eminem is my favorite rapper of all time. Can’t nobody outrap him but this needs to happen.”

Royce 5’9″ talks if Eminem is to be blamed for Slaughterhouse’s unsuccessful debut

Royce 5’9″ has recently done a livestream question and answer session on Instagram. The Detroit legend was asked if Eminem was to blame for the unsuccessful start of Slaughterhouse when they dropped their Shady Records debut album Welcome To: Our House in 2011.

“Do I blame Marshall for Our House? What do you mean? The way it came out? Em put his f**king soul into Our House. Em probably put as much work as I did in that project.” said Royce.

Royce continues: “When I collaborate with somebody, especially like Em, first of all, I’m always going to trust his judgment. Same way with Preem. I’mma trust his judgment. I’m a firm believer in roles. People play roles depending on what situation it is. Whenever I’m working with Em, I play a position, very rarely do I try to play the lead position because I know that’s something he used to do. Same with Preem. We disagree in lots of things. If there is something he feels super strongly about, I go against my better judgment because I know if Preem is wrong then I’m willing to take the L with him. If he is right, you can’t be more right. And I feel the same way about Marshall.”

“Marshall had a vision for Our House and when we put it out, fans thought it was too polished. I’m very aware of all the mistakes we made creatively and I can take the blame for a lot of those. I don’t blame Marshall anything for creatively. I see the mistakes that were made but I told him don’t trip on that. Cause he felt like ‘I touched too much, I did too much.’ And I was like ‘Nah, don’t even do that. If its L to take, we going to take it together.’ It was all good when we were in the studio together. We had the same energy so ain’t nobody to blame. I appreciate the work Eminem put in it.” Royce added.
