Despite the absence of Eminem’s name on the tracklist, Slim Shady has made a healthy contribution to Royce Da 5’9’s new album The Allegory.
Midway through the project, a familiar voice begins speaking on “Perspective (Skit)” and it’s quickly apparent it’s Nickle Nine’s Bad Meets Evil cohort.
For two minutes and 24 seconds, Em speaks on Hip Hop’s ability to unite all races while simultaneously dissecting the ugliness of racism.
Royce Da 5'9 Unveils 'The Allegory' Album
Read the full transcript below.
“You’ve got people of all races, like coming together and helping shape this from the ground up. Now you got little white kids growin’ up with black idols. And you got black kids growin’ up with white idols. And you got … it’s just this whole mixing pot. Nothing has brought more races and more people from all different walks of life together than Hip Hop. No music has done that. I don’t think anything has done that as much as Hip Hop has.
In the same token, I can understand the frustration being that damn near every form of music, period, was created by black people. So, you got Chuck Berry, you got Rosetta Tharpe. And rock n’ roll is starting to get some attention but then along comes Elvis. And people are acting like, “Oh my God I’ve never seen this before.” You’ve seen it before, but you might not have seen a white person do it to this level. So now, he sells the most records and people are callin’ him the king of rock n’ roll right?
On the other side of the coin, if I’m a black kid growing up in the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, whatever, and I’m looking on TV, and nobody looks like me and it’s very stereotypical and I’m looking at toys and the fuckin’ action figures are all white. The fuckin’ superheroes are all white. Maybe there’s one or two black superheroes mixed in there with mostly white. I don’t know how I grow up and not have a chip on my shoulder.
On the other flip side of that coin, we don’t get to choose our parents. We don’t get to choose what color we’re born. It’s more about — at that point, it becomes “You’re born here, you are what color you are, what nationality you are.”And it’s what you do with it, right? To make a difference.”
Absolutely no one asked for this. Eminem is recognizable. If he appeared fresh on the scene in his current state in 2018 he’d have 5k fans.
Here we go. Let’s play the what if game. You haters are worse than Stans. Well guess what bitch he isn’t fresh on the scene. He’s old as dirt and still rocking. What’s your old ass doing??
Royce asked for it. On his album.
Nobody asked for it? Step out of your little bubble. You can say all the crap you want. You can’t change the level Em is at or his legendary status. But hey, keep typing and showing people how really stupid you are.
Yo Who asked? This site must be partly owned by Em or Paul. Lol. If not, you guys need to get a grip on your Eminem love affair.
you need to stop hating for no reason
I saw no hate.
Maybe you might want to focus on you getting a grip on your hate.
Why the hate? Ppl look at tracklists before listening and wonder if certain artists are on there. Especially old friends who have made music together since the 90s. Ppl love to hate on Em and those who love him for no reason and these 2 clowns below me are examples of that.
Hate motivates see there would be no Kamikaze without criticizing ass shallow rejects they hate cus they can’t do
Album is straight ? for real n em is a goat so he is always going to have them haters just facts but back to the album Royce is so underrated he is a top 5 emcee lyrically plus dude is actually saying something need more hip hop like this
One thing I gotta say about Em and Royce…I don’t think Em has ever dropped a verse on a Royce album, it’s always Royce on an Em album. Obviously they had beef for a while, but they’ve been cool for some time now. Maybe its at Royce’s request but why the fuck hasn’t Em ever given a verse for a Royce album and let Royce use it to promote an album. I mean he’s supposed to be his boy right, like real boy not “rap associates”. I get not putting his name out there for this cuz it’s not a verse, but wtf Em…Royce is a dope MC and a friend supposedly. Why you ain’t use your brand to elevate his projects a little? Even if it’s minimal it’s something to help your people out. I expected a lot of Royce and Em after BME, unfortunately we got barely anything and I think they bring out the best in each other. I mean maybe I missed a collab on a Royce album, but it seems a little one way to me
caterpiller
Rock city?? Writers block?? Caterpillar??
He probably doesn’t cause he doesn’t need to. He wants Royce, as I’m sure Royce does, to get his accolades from his own doing. Not by having someone else help do it for him. Royce can carry his own. The proof is he does it without Em being on a track.
Royce had an album called the book of ryan and it was actually his last album. It had an eminem feature on it. On shady xv they had a bme song and on south paq they had two. It’s not like eminem just gives anyone features and most people only get 1 if any.
You clearly are ignorant on the very topic you chose to spew your whack ass opinion about. Em has elevated every artist he’s been associated with. Do you have any idea the promo Em has done for Royce? There’s literally hundreds of examples. Do research. It’s so annoying seeing so many people post shit like they know something. You don’t have a clue what goes on behind the scenes. Em is a promo genius and has put Royce way up there. Royce is very dope all by himself, but Em has definitely been the major front-runner for his promo.
Do
your
homework
Eminem like literally just tweeted out a promo for royce’s album and they’ve been collaborating consistently
He’s been on 3 albums not including this one. He was also on the second Slaughterhouse album. Your entire post is wrong. The only time he hasn’t been on a Royce album were during the time they had tension
Eminem with the 8th grade level social analysis…
he lives for you haters
Royce drops an Album and you found a way to make a whole Eminem Article about it. Great
You missed the point clown. It was a perspective from a white person. He points out really important factors in our world that you don’t hear anyone else saying. Then the little paragraph at the end…that says it all.
What is a point clown??? Why do I miss him?
The White SJW Cuck is back
Notice how Em stayed waaaaaaaaaaay clear of the Phryme project tho.
Doom and Em on the same album would’ve been nice
Still waiting on Em to finally rap on a Premo beat. Probably gonna be dead before it happens.
always too many low-lives in the comment sections smh
What is wrong with some of you people here?? Instead of focusing on the good of what he is saying, you’re choosing to look for something to hate about. For christ sake, read the dam article, pay attention to what is being said. Especially the last paragraph you dumb ass haters.
Yeesus Xrist! 22 Bangers!!!
Y’all clearly don’t listen to Royce.
How about actually transcribing what was literally said – not an interpretation.
Sports has probably done more for bringing people together. 80 year old white guys liked Michael Jordan. Not the Wu-tang clan.
Facts!!
White black green blue if you’re ass is from the United States of America your American!! Period! I have black family and friends white family and friends and… Well you get the picture…. If we focused on the love for one another in this country this country would be much better off with that said fuck racism ???
And I meant to hit the!!!! Instead of the??? Js
