Royce 5’9″ reveals Eminem’s favorite battle rapper, talks potential Shady & Cassidy battle

Royce Da 5’9″ has recently set down with Mikey T of Report Card Radio, where he talked about meeting Eminem at Usher’s concert, Bad Meets Evil, signing Slaughterhouse to Shady Records and the potential rap battle with Cassidy.

“I will say this, Cassidy will have a better shot at Em responding to him with a diss record. Then we would be getting him to come to the battle rap stage and commit to 3 rounds on camera and give somebody ownership of his likeness and that content. But, I do not see him doing that, I do not see a scenario where that would even make sense, somebody of his magnitude. He would be better off just doing it on his own platform and then who would he single out to battle and what would be the purpose.”

“But Eminem is definitely tuned in, he loves Murda Mook. I think Mook is his favorite right now, but he definitely tuned in, definitely love the battle rap scene. I am sure he fantasizes about that s**t. It is a whole bunch of s**t that he can not do no more that he used to be able to do that he wish he could still do but he just can not because he is just too larger than life.”

“Battle rap is what what he knows. I mean, it was obviously different when he was actively doing it but there is some truth to a lot of the anecdotal things that everybody regurgitates. I guess if any pivot into any space, its going to require some adjustments, but you know man, the pen is the pen.” says Royce.

Knxg Crooked responds Royce’s complaints about not getting involved in Lupe Fiasco beef

In a recent Live session on Instagram, Royce  Da 5’9″expressed his disappointment with some of his fellow Slaughterhouse lyrical-spitters for not getting involved in the beef with Lupe Fiasco: “Speaking of Crook and Joell, what are they up to? Watching me get jumped on? You know what I would be doing right now if somebody pulled this on one of my loved ones? I would have been rapped. I am disappointed in Crooked, I am disappointed in Joell. It is not about them wondering if I can handle myself in rapping. It is the fact that you are looking at me, and you are looking at two other individuals gang up on me on some lyrical s**t, and you just sitting there watching.”

Kxng Crooked responded Royce in an interview with PsaHipHOP: “When Royce joke around like ‘Why Crook and Joell did not come jump in?! You are Royce the f**king five-nine! We already know you could go in there in five f**king minutes, and you could tear this s**t down. If you ever need us, we are always in your corner, that is one hundred. Right now the bigger picture is this: he has got a mental health initiative he is working on, he is doing s**t with the Detroit Pistons, they got Detroit day coming up soon with Marshall and Trick Trick, and all these people trying to create real change for their neighborhood, for the city. You are doing all this positive s**t on the one hand, and on the other hand, you are out here talking about tying ni**as moms up on this record. Not saying that is what he said, but to me, the bigger picture of that is ‘do you really want to be in that frequency over there? And that vibration? This is me and what I like to see my brother doing: I prefer to see my brother over there doing his mental health initiatives, helping the community, trying to change Detroit for the better. That is what I would rather see my brother doing.”

Crooked continues: “I know a lot of people online want to see the back and forth, and that’s cool too. So half of me, ‘I am with you’, it is on that level too because I know what he can do. He is a killer. And the other half of me is like… more positive works for me these days. Because I am older. We could take that energy all the way to the Slaughterhouse reunion.”

Russ & Royce talking about Eminem’s excellence writing

Russ and Royce Da 5’9″ have recently done the Instagram Live session where the two talked about Eminem and the current state of hip-hop.

Royce 5’9″ on Eminem: “I was there when Eminem was recording lots of stuff. We used to share hotel rooms. He was just beat up all night. He was pacing around. He writes like, you know, everything connects syllable-wise. He writes different syllable schemes all around the paper and it’s like nothing is in order. Little blobs and stuff. Then he goes into the booth and he just picks s**t. Now he thinks a lot. I think we all do that just with age. We just think more but back then he didn’t think. He would just go in there, He didn’t second guess it. He used to just spill the s**t and he would always pick the most comfortable pocket in the beat.”

Then Russ continues: “When you really listen to Eminem, it sounds like you downloaded his vocals with the beat. Like, there is no other flow or tone or pocket. When I listened to what Eminem said about ‘Infinite’ album like ‘Infinite was me sound like AZ’ and then I stopped giving a f**k and that’s when people started giving a f**k. I was always resonated with that too. He was like ‘f**k you all’ and that’s when the whole world was like ‘I love you.’”

In a recent Live session on Instagram, Royce expressed his disappointment with some of his fellow lyrical-spitters “Speaking of Crook and Joell, what are they up to? Watching me get jumped on? You know what I would be doing right now if somebody pulled this on one of my loved ones? I would have been rapped. I am disappointed in Crooked, I am disappointed in Joell, I am disappointed in King Los, I am disappointed in Grafh, I am disappointed in Joyner Lucas, I am disappointed in Marshall… Nah, I ain’t disappointed in Marshall.”

“Those people right there I just named are very close loved ones. Never should you sit back and watch me. It is not about trusting me, that is not the point I am making. It is not about them wondering if I can handle myself in rapping. It is the fact that you are looking at me, and you are looking at two other individuals gang up on me on some lyrical shit, and you just sitting there watching.” said Royce.

When asked whether or not Eminem has weighed in yet, Royce shakes his head, saying: “I do not think it made its way to the f**kin’ Android Metro phone [laughs] I do not think it is that f**kin big! Has not reached the Batphone yet.”

A falling between two hip-hop titans Royce 5’9″ and Lupe Fiasco occurred last week. The two emcees released diss-tracks aimed at each other. Of course this clash will go down in history as the battle of two great emcees.

“It’s like they only want them on top of their casket, damn, Pay the price for acting ladylike, We rarely see black Eminems, Kinda Shady right?”

“Hov took you off Renegade like it was custody.”

“Lupe is my brother and I’ma ride with him stubbornly, Defending the best and nevertheless, Adrenaline been in my chest, He getting regrets for ever discrediting vets, While living off Eminem’s mess, He got a song with ‘Kiss and Fab.”

Two hours after the release of “Wraith,” Royce shared few second video on Instagram. Will Eminem be dragged into this beef?!

Lupe Fiasco shouts out Eminem while dissing Royce on “Steve Jobs” song

Originally titled “Steve Jobs: SLR 3 1/2,” the song is a response to Royce da 5’9”’s track “Silence of the Lambda” and was released in a couple of hours after Royce dropped it.

The title of the track follows from Lupe’s series of wordplay-rich and braggadocios tracks from the past viz. SLR (Super Lupe Rap), SLR 2 and SLR 3 (Round of Applause).

The 1/2 in the title may point to the fact that Lupe might not have completely gone all out on Royce at the moment with this track and he left something behind and ready to unleash it whenever and if Royce responds back.

Fans might have overlooked the lines in “Steve Jobs” track where Lupe gave shout out to Eminem. In the verse two, Fiasco raps:

Your penmanship has the fingerprints of a gimmick
And affection and the intimacy of impressions of that ni**a you friends with
I ain’t gotta say it to say it
I can’t even blame you, the nigga’s one of my favorites

Lupe is saying that Royce bit Eminem’s style of rhyming. He says that he sees ‘affection’ and ‘intimacy of impressions’ of Eminem’s pen in Royce’s rhymes. Fiasco goes on to to say that he can’t even blame Royce because Eminem is one of his favorites too.
