In the caption Royce wrote: “In 1997, I wore Iceberg because of Jay Z. I wore Cartier because of Detroit. I wore durags because of thin corners. Eminem would share his stage with me, although most did not know me yet. Forever grateful. Forever loyal. Forever Shady.”
Few days ago, Fredwreck’s Instagram post sparked the rumors of The Marshall Mathers LP 3 album but now some fans think Bad Meets Evil might be on the way.

Like Eminem’s “Relapse 2” and Dr. Dre’s “Detox” album, Slaughterhouse’s “Glass House” album is remained as one of hip-hop’s many lost treasures.
Kxng Crooked and Joell Ortiz have been giving hope to the fans but nothing from “Glass House” has ever seen the light of the day.
Royce Da 5’9 is the latest to raise new attention to the scrapped album, having recently taken to Instagram to crack open the Slaughterhouse vault and offer up two snippets of an unreleased bangers. In the caption, the Detroit legend writes: “Slaughterhouse was so vile, vulgar and violent… I blame Joe Budden. We should have finished these bro…”
Joell Ortiz hit into the comments section, saying: “This s**t still hit different. We gotta get back in there, finish up then get it to the people!!” The snippets also brought Just Blaze into the fold, the man who executive produced the “Glass House” album, commenting: “Oh, hi.”
Yesterday, Royce Da 5’9″ took on Twitter where the Detroit legend told a short story from the past, while showing love to Eminem.
“Fun Fact: I was about to do a deal with the legendary Herbie Love Bug but Marshall found out and called me. He said “Nah Dog, with all due respect, you ain’t about to do a deal with no Herbie Love Bug.”
“He played my music for Dre that same day and told him the situation. Dre must have agreed with him because he called my mamma crib the next day and asked would I be interested in flying out to work with them on The Chronic 2001.”
“My loyalty to the Whiteboy will NEVER waver and THIS is just ONE of the MANY reasons… Big Shout to Herbie though… He is a BIG KING.” – said Royce.
Hip-hop’s legendary lyricist Nas finally won his first ever Grammy last night after 13 nominations across more than two decades. The 47-year-old king of the New York City, won Best Rap Album for his 13th effort, titled “King’s Disease.”
Nas’ album bested “The Allegory” by Royce da 5′9”, Alfredo” by Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist, “Black Habits” by D Smoke and “A Written Testimony” by Jay Electronica.
In an interview with British music magazine NME in November 2020, Nas revealed that he had attempted to create a record similar to James Brown’s 1968 classic “Say It Loud ― I’m Black and I’m Proud” and said it was necessary for Black artists to make similar anthems because of “the foot on our necks.”
During a recent interview with Marisa Mendez on HipHopDX, Royce Da 5’9″ was surprisingly joined by Joell Ortiz where the two proceeded to stroll down memory lane, reflecting on their Slaughterhouse, reuniting on Eminem’s “I Will” for Music To Be Murdered By album, and sharing a few thoughts on the Griselda movement:
“Griselda did not necessarily get more mainstream attention than we did. We actually released an album. It was two totally different journeys. I do understand the comparison.” said Royce and Joell added: “They anti-establishment, like we are.”
Then the two talk about “I Will” song: “That song was a joint we did a long time ago. Em just went back through it, cause he does that sometimes. Especially if we go to his studio to record it, nobody will take a copy of it. It’ll be something that exists in his world. When he called me and told me that he wanted to use it, I was like f**k, I know he ain’t gonna let me change my verse. But then I heard my verse and thought, okay, that’s cool.” said Royce.
“I thought the exact same thing Royce. I hadn’t heard it in years. It definitely held up.” added Joell Ortiz
HipHopDX has recently caught up with Royce Da 5’9″ and his father for an interview, where the two hilariously recall the time Dr. Dre called in their house, only to be mistaken for a licensed medical professional.
“I remember when I told him, ‘You’ve got a phone call,'” I asked him what was wrong with him. He’s like, ‘What do you mean?’ I said, ‘You’ve got a phone call from your doctor.’ He said, ‘The doctor?’ I said, ‘Yeah, somebody named Dr. Dre.’”
“By the time he got out the shower, I heard all the slipping and sliding and falling into the toilet and on the floor trying to get to the phone. I didn’t know who Dr. Dre was and once I’d found out who Dr. Dre was I was like, okay well my son is onto something. Somebody recognizes him for what he is because, at that point, I wasn’t quite sure.” said Greg.
Then Royce continues: “I caught his voice immediately. He was like ‘I like your s**t man, Marshall played me your s**t, man. I wanted to see if you wanted to come out here and rock with us. We working on some stuff.’ I was just writing stuff. As much as I could. I was just excited to be in the environment. I thought he was a genius, that everything he did was classic. I walked in a Stan.”
Royce 5’9″ drops the lyric video of “Hero,” featuring White Gold, produced by Royce from Grammy-nominated album, The Allegory. “Hero” is a follow up song to “Cocaine” track off of his 2018 album Book of Ryan. In an interview with TMZ, among other things, Royce expressed concern with airing out his father as an addict on the song Cocaine. In this song, he tells us that people are not perfect.
Benzino has recently chopped it up with Queenzflip on live where the two talked about numerous topics, The former The Source magazine owner opens up about his partner Dave Mays and then calls out all the people who owe him an apology including whole Eminem team. He also goes at Queenzflip because Flip didn’t want to play the Eminem record where Em is dissing black women.
In a recent conversation on ClubHouse, Royce Da 5’9″ explained to Lupe Fiasco why he responded to Benzino.
“Royce, you know you my man but sometimes you gotta let Eminem fight that s**t. F**k this ni**as man. Just don’t pay them ni**as no mind. F**k their feelings.” said Lupe Fiasco
“I came to that realization long time ago Lupe. I was not arguing with Bezino cause I was defending Eminem. I was arguing with him cause he called me a b**ch.” Royce responded.
In a conversation on ClubHouse, which included Royce Da 5’9,” Page Kennedy, Just Blaze, Van Lathan, Punch, King Los, Glasses Malone and Dave Mays (Benzino’s friend and the founder of The Source Magazine) Royce got into a heated argument with Mouse (Diddy affiliate) and Dave Mayes for disrespecting comments about Eminem.
At some point Royce lost his patience with The Source creator:
“Man, you f**k with Benzino! You don’t f**k with authenticity. I’ma kick your a** to the crowd. You f**k with cornballs.. Enough of Dave Mays. F**k out of here, muthaf**ker. F**k he talking to, I’ll put death on your doorstep. I’m not divided, I’m not one with Dave Mays. Let’s get this s**t straight. Ya’ll n***as in here acting like this ni**a at the cookout.”
Watch the full thing below and try not to go hard on Mays and Mouse:
In a recent interview on Shade 45, Eminem talked about Royce Da 5’9″ and The Alchemist’s Grammy nominations. You can check it out below.
Gray Rizzy: I just want to know how you gonna deal with this man, because you have two brothers, Royce Da 5’9″ and The Alchemist nominated for the Grammys. This is like two of your brothers going in the championship. I’m not gonna ask you who you rooting for cause I know you want both of them win but what’s the first thing you gonna say to the winner?
Eminem: GIMMIE. Give me your Grammy!
Gray Rizzy: [Laughs]
Eminem: Nah. I don’t know man. I’m happy they are both nominated. It’s great for me to sit back and be able to watch it. Cause both of these guys are so f**king talented. I’ve been saying that, I wished they’d get more shine. And I think that’s right direction as far as Grammys. At least they are trying to get it right. I’m happy for both of them. And regardless of either one of them if they win, they are still Grammy nominated.
