Detroit rap legend Eminem recently issued praise to fellow rhymer Royce Da 5’9 in the most Eminem way possible, with both admiration and grim sarcasm.
After the Slaughterhouse rapper let loose two flame-emoji-worthy freestyles, he received praise from Em via text.
A screen capture of the text from his “Big Bro,” which Royce shared on Instagram on Monday (January 16), stated the following:
“Really? Ur an asshole. Those fuckin freestyles u put out r devastating. Incredible. I hate u. Die.”
The freestyles Eminem was gushing about featured Royce rapping over the instrumentals to Phresher’s “Wait A Minute,” as well as DJ Khaled and Jay Z’s “I Got The Keys.”
DX had high praise for Royce last year too, putting his Tabernacle: Trust The Shooter project in the top spot of our Best Mixtapes Of 2016.
this guy still trying to get on after being around since 2000? He has never been hot give it up bro
His debut album Rock City sucked ass (both the original release and the 2.0 one), only reason he got some attention back then was because Eminem was providing some “chka-chka” vocals (seriously, not even a verse) on his single. Even the DJ Premier tracks on the album was lackin. Also what fuckin clowns he was running with back then, D-Elite? Lol those niggas was trash
He’s ghostwritten classic records for the likes of Dre and P. Diddy, and worked with Em, DJ Premier and other major figures in the industry and put out some classic gems since Rock City. Both of you must have just gotten out of jail and need time to catch up.
Stop clicking the fire icon under your comment you fuckin loser
5 9′ is definitely up there with the best
SSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
…Cringe….This guy is such a little eminem groupie. You call another grown man ‘goat’ in your phone? Wtf? Youre posting personal texts just because he complimented you??? Does that make you feel special? Daddy loves you huh? Fucking weirdo.
They go way back, even before they were established artists. But only a a young pos that probably listens to the likes of Lil uzi flirt, yachty etc would think otherwise. Go back to sniffing your moms underwears and jerking off on yourself.
None of my black friends listen to Eminem, they all listened to Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Kodak Black, 21 Savage, Young Thug and Drake. Most of his subject matter is really just dissing pop stars or talking about how much he hates Kim or how he got bullied and wants to kill his bullies now, it’s pretty safe to say that this cracka would have never been that big if he was black. skrrt
I must say, your friends have a shitty taste in rap/hip-hop music if those are the type of rappers they listen to, with the exception of Lil Wayne.
Wow….i gotta say your friends listen to some bitches…..Lil Wayne? Drake? Lmao….I’ve always been in awe that they made it anywhere…..oh right….Thanks birdman
Your racist.
Eminem has bars, you nut. That’s why people listen to his shit. If he was black he probably would’ve sold 70-80% of what he’s sold
Death is Certain and Bar Exam series sealed it for me. Royce is incredibly talented, and Death is Certain proved that he could be great without Eminem. Em’s reunion with Royce only made Royce more known, but not more talented. He already had the talent.
Royce is top 10 for me.
My top 5 bro….
Eminem has become incredibly overrated
For sending a text to his friend praising him on his music? Lmao
Did I say that? Im just stating a fact . . . He hasn’t put out a solid album in nearly a decade . . . Far from being the GOAT
Why should he put out another solid album? He already made his mark in rap, he doesn’t have to make music anymore in my opinion..he got my respect and the legends of hip hop got his
He needs to release consistent albums. Can’t “establish” yourself a decade ago and release trash albums since. Take a page from Drake and release back to back classics. *mic drop* I’m out foo!
Drakes a fucking pop star and should be compared to swift long before eminem. MMLP2 HAD BARS. Period. So did recovery. If your a fan of hiphop and rap but dont give respect to shady your a hater. Period.
Dropping a solid album over a decade ago and releasing trash since is not legendary. He needs to take a page out of Drakes book and learn something. I’m talking about back to back classics.
No, that’s your opinion. Anyways, how is your statement even remotely related to him sending a text to Royce about Royce’s freestyles?
the kinda rappers everybody praises but nobody listens to
i look at Royse picture. and i don’t like to listen to his shit, .listening to his shit would be to endorse a retarded looking person. i dont give a fuk how good your lyrics are.
Eminem is an icon and unreachable from anyone, there is no way the climate would allow for anyone else to grow like M did.
Royce bodied Em on Bad Meets Evil on every track…
And Em was goin crazy…
Drops MIC. (Pun intended, gun extended…)
Damn niggas find every reason to hate. The only question is it dope, yes it is.
It’s the Em stans. They can’t stand their rap god giving props to another emcee. They need to get over it.
Says who? Which Em Stans don’t like Em giving props to other emcees (Royce). Smh. Not everything is about Em Stan stupidity.
No one better since tu PAC. His daughter is so beautiful and down to earth thanks to staying away from Hollywood. Welcome back rabbit.
eminem texts like a teenage girl
I’m sure he learned HOW to text from his teenage daughters, hahaha
OMG i hate u just die.
I’m hoping that after he listened to Royce’s freestyles, he went back to the lab and is writing some serious heat to really offend you haters. There’s no better person to piss people off in 2017 than Slim Shady himself at this point.
That nigga so trash
To any of you who think Royce is trash,please explain to me what makes him trash? It’s not Called the bar exam for nothing,and to anyone who says em isn’t the goat, learn about hip hop. He’s not my favorite but hands down the greatest of all time
Royce wasn’t trash untill success is certain he completely changed the style of his flow with forced multys street hop was the end ..
WTF…. Success was a good LP, and it dont seem like u have heard PRhyme, his flow has gotten better my man.
Your an idiot
You’re right dude, some of these fuck heads don’t know shit about hip hop.
anyone that says hes trash dont understand, i bet a dumb nigga thats uneducated that likes lil yachty said he was maybe not educated but not educated enough
Eminem must listen to the underground
I mean he doesn’t listen to the underground there’s rappers that eat Royce’s food
No there isn’t. Royce is in a lane of his own. One of the greatest to ever do it. There are two types of underground rappers. The one’s that are really good but just haven’t blown up or been discovered yet, and the scum that purposely stay in the underground because they think they’re something special and want to be different or rap about bullshit no one wants to hear. Most underground rap is annoying….nails on a chalkboard.
Meh. I feel that way about 99% of mainstream music. Just dudes with zero imagination covering the same tired ass generic concepts and themes already done to death by literally hundreds of others.
Not surprising, though, considering how most people are idiots blindly following whatever newest “trend” corporate interests design for them as a means of fleecing ever more money from the herd.
But by all means, keep thinking committee-designed, safe nonsense has more artistic merit than actual artists expressing their innate and unique personalities. Bet you also love the Transformers movies.
Royce’s main fan base is made up mostly of people who like bad meets evil so it’s like 5 years old … They don’t know the potential Royce holds .. his best verses ever are on the first slaughterhouse album .. that’s when he was in his prime … 2009 !!!
This guy running off the success of eminems return he doesn’t even have to try any more he sucks em dick so hard and a Eminem cosign doesn’t help … Eminem is playing you so hard it’s funny all he has to do is say he’s featured on there albums and you eat it up before it comes out and what do you get at least 3 or 4 songs that came out in the last couple years that say he’s featured but there’s no verse … You stans are a completely different type of fan in hip hop .. you have no appreciation for the art of rap you just want to think your lisinging to the best of all time while you know nothing about the skill
You have absolutely no idea what you’re typing about. (Face Palm).
Wrongass dummy! Been up on him Independence Day…
Dummy…
Royse you don’t wanna get left with this get the rest of this when you’ve been sitting like the Sheppards miss. Ya missed out fool it got real when DMX and Ja Rule hit the new school. Yous just a joke ass fool with no ford amunition tool cause you ain’t cool got no rule just faking all the way banking it unlike the real a class old school. Sorry but you know it’s true
Royce bodied Em on Bad Meets Evil on every track… And Em was goin crazy… Drops MIC. (Pun intended, gun extended…)
Royce is a dope rapper but his crew is garbage and he suffers from bad beats. He keeps trying to be hip hop and hop pop at the same time. His potential was back in the early 2000’s before he sold out. Before Dre Eminem was dope after he became a pop star with zero impact on real hip hop heads. Radio and video play mean nothing to real hip hop cats. Sell outs !!!!!!
You are stupid
