    1. Anyone else think its weird 50 and Em can’t get on a track together anymore. But they can do the same trackkk–just not officially together. Leaves me wonderin.

      1. Maybe Em’s pissed off that 50 has just completely sold out and doesn’t even care about hip hop at all? (Waiting for all the comments saying EM IS SELLOUT 2 FOOL!!!11!!!!!, in which i reply he’s still making lyrical, creative, and meaningful music, its just with more mainstream beats and hooks. 50 on the other hand is 100% pop now.)

    2. I’ve been waiting for a 50 collabo, dope.

      Getting Meth & Raekwon on a track is also a great move, shows that there’s no hard feelings over the bullshit back in ’08.

    3. Royce says via twitter this isn’t it. Which is too bad. But I’d think he’d get Crooked on here anyways, they go really well together(IMO).

    4. Best Label crew in the game!!!!

      47.5 RATING

      1. are you retarded? you’re ratings are incorrect:
        GOOD/RocNation:
        Jay(RN)-10
        Kanye-10
        Cyhi-8
        Pusha T-8.5
        Big Sean-8.5
        Kid Cudi-7
        Common-9
        J.Cole(RN)-9
        Jay Electronica(RN)-10

        Shady:
        D12-7
        50 Cent-8
        Cashis-7
        Slaughterhouse-10
        Yelawolf-9
        Bad Meets Evil-10
        Shady-10

      2. You call him wack and give him a 6.5??? Joell Ortiz is not wack though, Budden deserves a way higher rating (Mood Muzik 4 is a classic masterpeice), Crooked I definatly needs a 10/10, he’s top 5 of all time…. you missed a bunch of the shady members….. Jay-Z would’ve been a 9/10 like 10 years ago….. now he’s more of a 6 or 7…..

      3. GOOD/RocNation:
        Jay Z -9.5
        Kanye- 9
        Cyhi-8
        Pusha T-7.5
        Big Sean-7
        Kid Cudi-8
        Common-9
        J.Cole(RN)-9.5
        Jay Electronica(RN)- 9.5
        K Koke – 7

        Shady:
        D12-6
        50 Cent-7
        Cashis-7
        Slaughterhouse- 10
        Yelawolf- 7.5
        Royce Da 5’9 – 9.5
        Joel Ortiz – 8.5
        Crooked I – 9.5
        Joe Budden – 8
        Eminem -10

      4. yeah shady/aftermath vs good/roc nation would be fairer and its 10 for each just for dre, em ,crooked and royce do the math

    5. best rappers out now are em,royce,slaughter house,yealwolf,jadakiss,fabolous,drake, anything else is eaither played out or stupid

      1. Replace Fabolous (he’s good but not one of the best alive), Jadakiss (I don’t see what everyone sees in him, and Drake (really, a young money member??) With NaS, AZ, and either Chino XL or Tech N9ne.

    6. I want another SH Eminem collab. Session One was great, 2.0 Boys and Loud Noises were just wow…. Hopefully one on this album.

    7. if u ask me all the members from Slaughterhouse should get a 9.5 , Yelawolf a 8.5,Cashis 7.5,50 Cent 8.0,D12:Swifty 8.5,Kuniva 9.0,Fuzz Scoota 8.0,Kon Artist 8.5,Eminem GOAT(my opinion),Bizarre 7.0

    8. “Success Is Certain” has appeared for pre-order on iTunes – and this was exactly the tracklisting that has appeared (except for the “Writer’s Block” remix). What are you playing at, Royce?

      1. Street hop had very short verses, a few skippable tracks, and 4 tracks he took from his Revival EP. Both could use more work, but Street Hop was still a very good album and this album seems like it’ll be decent.

    9. GOOD/RocNation:
      Jay Z -9
      Kanye- 9
      Cyhi-8
      Pusha T-7.5
      Big Sean-7
      Kid Cudi-8
      Common-9
      J.Cole(RN)-9.5
      Jay Electronica(RN)- 9.5
      K Koke – 7

      Shady:
      50 Cent-7.5
      Cashis-7
      Slaughterhouse- 10
      Yelawolf-9
      Royce Da 5’9 – 9.5
      Joel Ortiz – 9
      Crooked I – 10
      Joe Budden – 8.5
      Eminem -10

      1. Jay-Z and Kanye get 9s? Jay-Z hasn’t dropped a classic since HIS DEBUT. And Kanye is a decent lyricist and producer but his flow and delivery are nothing special. Also Joe Budden should get higher rating.

    10. oooh white boy let’s his house negro have a SOLO too?

      if Interscope/Shady buys advertorials everywhere he MIGHT break 5,000 first week, hah.

      1. Y he gotta be a house negro? Em and Royce were cool before Em blew up. They beefed and worked it out…like real friends should. Em is putting Royce in a better position. AND…this album is coming out on Shady. So Em isn’t LETTING Royce do sh*t. Niggaz always gotta say some ignorant stuff. So, was 50 a house nigga? D-12? Obie? U got it twisted. If thats the case, EVERY black artist is a house nigga because I’m sure there aren’t blacks sitting at the head of all these major labels. U should keep ignorance like that to urself….checkmate.

      2. yeah good point, quit hating you faggot, find something better to do besides being ignorant anonymously on websites

    11. not much difference,….the remix is gone, some features missing, and tracklist reordered
      A track with meth and raekwon would be sick, that “second place” joint does sound like meth is in it but got cut off.
      yelawolf and royce track would be dope as well

    12. i dont think this is a full tracklist…he said himself he will have Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf on his new album …My Own Planet ?? really that shit was leaked last year

    13. looks like something royce put together in 10 minutes. looks like a bunch of throwaways. royce decided to clean his hard drive out for a check. WONT BE BUYING THIS. i was one of 4,000 people that copped street hop first week. that had the worst mix ever, vocals were fucked and beats were low. literally, not listenable. royce putting another cheap solo out, not a good way to follow up his biggest project bad meets evil. step it up royce. bar exam 2 will probably smoke this.

      1. Street Hop was pretty good IMO and the beats were decent (Soldier beat is amazing.) This doesn’t look like it’ll be as good though.

      2. some copies of street hop had fucked up sound, like the copy i bought. but then i downloaded one with proper sound. shit was fire. stop fuckin hating.

    14. Royce said he only had one indy album left to release, I think he’s droppin this so he can move on, like SH did with that EP

      Summin tells me Em’s gonna sign him solo, them dudes are joined at the hip these days, even more then back in the day

    15. Looks like one of these half-assed albums Joey put out over the last years. I bet these songs were recorded in different times, no direction for the whole album.

    16. There better be a Slaughterhouse feature and an Eminem feature where he actually has a verse.. cause 11 songs is kinda short and it just needs SH/Eminem verses.

    17. Where my Money and My Own Planet were released early last year. Damn. This shit looks like random throwaway tracks. I hope his next album is tight. He really shouldn’t soil Death is Certain’s name with this shit.

    18. Why is everyone mad that they heard some of the tracks already? It’s not all Royce’s fault they leaked. Y’all didn’t have to download and listen to them BUT YOU DID ANYWAY AND YOU’RE STILL COMPLAINING!

      1. Are you serious right now? Well, okay, Royce could’ve very well leaked them himself, it’s called free promotion and rappers do it all the time, dumbass. Even if it wasn’t his fault that they leaked, how is it our fault for listening to them? The tracks are there, are we just supposed to NOT listen to them? That would defeat the purpose of free promotion to begin with. That’s irrelevant anyway because the real problem here is that Royce is LAZY and always has been. Always recycling tracks. Remember “Street Hop”? That shit was 50% mixtape tracks that came out in like 2007, some reworked and others left completely untouched. That’s lazy as fuck.

      1. ima diehard 5’9 fan. honestly this record is a kinda dissapointing…nothing like any of the bar exams, or D.I.S…not bad, coulda made a few tracks different..Security, ER, 2nd pace,MErry Go Round are the best

    19. 11 tracks? Thats bullshit. The Bad meets Evil Ep Deluxe was 11 tracks. I was expecting at least 20 tracks from this shit. It cost me $25 to preorder it for fucks sake.

    20. It is okay that it only 11 tracks. One of Royces’ biggest flaws with the last album is it had too many filler tracks. Maybe he is learning from his mistakes and only going with the very best tracks to really make a great album.

    21. If they 50 Cent song comes out -__- just delete it off the face of the earth that shit looks WACK if anything he shouldve had Lloyd Banks on a song that wouldve been classic but since everyone is saying this is like a “throw away” album never mind

    22. HARPERSIDE VOLUME 6 – 08/09/2011!!!!!!
      HARPERSIDE VOLUME 6 – 08/09/2011!!!!!!
      HARPERSIDE VOLUME 6 – 08/09/2011!!!!!!
      HARPERSIDE VOLUME 6 – 08/09/2011!!!!!!
      HARPERSIDE VOLUME 6 – 08/09/2011!!!!!!
      HARPERSIDE VOLUME 6 – 08/09/2011!!!!!!

    23. I dont like legendary,E.R,on the boulevard,ive been up ive been down

      I think there pretty awful for royce’s standards

      security and i aint coming down are the only other tracks that stand out that we havnt heard before

      Still nothing topping section 80 this year so far….

    24. merry go round nice too , just expected better , i think all fans would agree to that

    25. only Royce album that works as a complete statement is ‘Death Is Certain’ imo, that’s it.

      even with all that hype about Primo’s involvement, ‘Street Hop’ was the same old lazy, half assed slop that Royce always releases.

      1. Wow sounds like a bunch of BULLSHIT to me, Death is certain was dope by far one of the Best albums I have heard. But to say he was lazy on Street Hop is just garbage. Street Hop was dope and some of it was him just fucking around. Which is still better then almost any other rapper in the game.

    26. they forgot to enlist the “writer’s block” remix by premo, that’s gonna be on the itunes bonus edition..
