Still never heard a weak Benny verse.

"Remember the effort has to go into the art, not the wave.. Everyone talk about owning their masters, if the music don't age well, it don't matter. It's like you own 100% of nothing, know your value."

I can't get over when he said "to the downers I'm draino, to the genre I'm thanos" sheesh

"Black woman want to be built like cartoon characters. Eric Cartman. That is a striking resemblance to Sarah Baartman." As a proud South African and a fan of Royce Da 5'9, I find it amazing that he used a historical figure (from my country of birth) in his artistic reference of how black women (I.E. Instagram models) today would do butt implants for the purpose of getting vain validation and money on social media. Prostituting themselves for likes and views quite frankly. The irony or juxtapose in all of it is Sarah Baartman was a Khoisan woman taken out of her homeland by her White oppressors, all for the purpose of comically parading her body throughout Europe in a manner that violated her human dignity. Hence the title "Upside Down". Our perspectives of what is right or wrong in life have become distorted nowadays. This was done against her will mind you (by virtue of being enforced to slavery). Just some historical reference for y'all to understand, whilst breaking down that bar. Thank you for the music and much respect Royce🙏👏 #Genius

Royce's intro is how you hold your listener's attention....respect

No matter how much recognition royce gets, he'll always be underrated.

“Rolled wit killers, nobody on our block was poorer than us, I put a fork in a pot and got a euphoric feelin” - The Butcher 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Royce barely started being a producer and is already one of the best out

Royce is definitely like a fine wine gets better with age🍷

I've never seen sobriety affect creativity in such a positive manner. Royce has always had top notch rhyme skemes and flow, but his subject matter has been elevated 10 fold. Ever since PRhyme 1 it's been nothing but up hill for this guy.

Why can’t music like this go viral

Royce is probably hip hop's greatest dark horse ever. Hardly anyone knows his music, truly. But his verses on each of his last projects (Bar Exam mixtapes, BME, PRhryme I & II, Layers, Book of Ryan, Allegory) has been nothing short of lyrical mastery!

3:47 "For mornings, I never ate unless they fed me at school." - *BTB*

Royce is the only MC I don't hear the beats for.. his lyrics just silence the music for me. Straight up power.

I'm a 40 year old chubby white fella from Minnesota, so when I tell you this is fire you cant take my word on it.

GRISELDA WE THE FIRM WITHOUT FOX 🔥🔥

"whoever think I'm here to make some corny ass radio Viacom jangle got my whole diatribe tangled" O_O

I need shit like this every day of 2020 and beyond. Royce is a certified legend. One of the best rappers alive no doubt, and the butcher coming n**ga

Dope chemistry between Royce and Benny, lyrically killing it. Then Ashley Sorrell killing the hook. Stop listening to mumble rap and listen to real staff. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That Royce verse was so dense, need to listen a few more times. "The effort has to go into the art not the wave"

Royce is so underrated (he doesn’t get enough credit) 🔥🔥

Royce is really in a whole different category then the rest of these rappers 💯👏

Shout out to Royce. Thats gotta be the craziest way to start a verse anybody has done in a minute or probably ever 🔥🔥🔥

“I’m behind the wheel when the conversations go left, I need violence , Rasheed Wallace , I’m okay with the tek”......... Benny is different

Why isn’t Royce ever mentioned among the goats man he’s always been amazing been listening since CANT NOBODY STOP ME UH UH NO ONE CAN STOP ME UH UH! nfl street fans where you at! 💪

“The butcher coming nicca “!!!!!!!!!

I clicked like before the song even started.. And Im not disappointed one bit. The girl singing gives me chills

"I'm the one behind the wheel when them conversations go left. I need violence, Rasheed Wallace I'm ok with a tec" goodness Benny 🔥🔥

Benny bout to have 1 of them Lil Wayne feature years..shit gettin spooky

Royce and the Butcher a match made in heaven!

Royce always got me rewinding shit before he finishes the verse. Those first bars are both 🔥 and 😂

Butcher showed up and showed out Edit: and i commented this BEFORE i realized he said "i need violence, rasheed wallace, im ok with a tech"

Royce has quietly creep his way into the top 5

“I need violence/Rasheed Wallace/I’m ok with a Tech” 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ashley got an amazing voice.... The bars in this whole álbum are hard af!

In this era of a bunch of generic a$$ trap songs, it's so refreshing to hear some fire hip hop bangers again. Thank you Royce!

" it's Griselda nxgga...you know we The FIRM without Foxy " Nas, AZ & Nature. (TheFirm) ✊

The more I listen to Royce, the more I find out just how GREAT he really is.

damn that benny verse should be 21 and over only, he murdered 2020

Royce and Benny instant fire

"...Rasheed Wallace I'm okay with a tech". Benny never disappoints!

Ash and Royce together is 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

Some people just have that gift..... Case in point..... Royce and Benny..

"Remember, the effort has to go into the art, not the wave Everybody talking 'bout they own their masters But if the music don't age well, it don't matter It's like you own a hundred percent of nothing" Went over a lot of people's head!!!

Ashley's voice adds the perfect touch of haunting soul for what happens next... Masterful

Benny's going to break into people's top fives. I can't think of another artist I've seen be this hungry with this much talent. He ain't going back.

Barz...Royce (not for children) was on that Fire...Grown man Rap.

Benny and Royce on the same track??? WTF not even fair!

I love how Royce be reflecting and being brutally honest with it

" To downers I'm Drano/ To the genres I'm Thanos"- I quit 💨

"Louis C.K. know he can use it in front of Pookie But know damn well that he wouldn't use it in front of DL" 😫🔥

First Em drops an album. Then Wayne. Now Royce is on the way. This year is fkn lit! 🔥

Royce's lyricism and effortless flow has been impressing more and more as of late. His verse on "You gon' learn" is heat and now this track... Even though I can't really relate to "field negro", his picture perfect lyricism in that track forced me to keep it on repeat.

Mean af. They don't call him Benny the Butcher for nothing. Dope

1st 4 Bars from Royce...perfect depiction of 2020 🤧

Royce on another level right now. Lyrically he's gotta be the best currently.

Royce is getting better man..not many from his era are improving they kinda stay to what they know. Royce been putting out straight fire!! Love it bro Like what you did with that sample

That opening line is so many things, so i will say it is just perfect.

Royce is a monster ✍️ give this man his flowers 💐

Oh my God. No fucks given . This guy spilling out the reality of this confused era

5’9 go way harder then Em bar for bar. Benny went brazy.. thanks for the jewels 5’9.. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🕊🔥🔥🔥🔥

BENNY THE BUTCHER..... DID IT AGAIN💯💯💯💯💯

A lot of Royce's bars go over people's heads. Press rewind and repeat and learn something.

Royce spoke some REAL 🤬

"Rubberbands and a duffle, hands full, I don't panic I juggle" 🤯🔥 Benny MURDERED this feature

The Allegory is gonna be an instant classic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

"The Firm without Fox" 🔥🔥🔥

Tha start of this is so dope she has a mad delivery!!! 🔥

How is Royce is constantly evolving? Dude is exceptional 🔥🔥

With Royce I smash the like button before listening to the song. 🔥🔥🔥

Royce just spit his best verse ever

It's November... can we all accept that The Allegory is album of the year?

When you pull up, will you pull it? Are you the shooter, trigger puller? Do you back up what you say you do? Or Mr Shoulda Woulda? Do you give back to the hood you from? Or run go to the jeweler When you got beef will you stand or run? Or talk from your computer? Do you boss up, put your people on? Or hate, cuz you cant do it? Will you speak the truth to power? Or be silent, bite the bullet? Which one are you? 🔥🔥🔥

Royce is on a mission. Black freedom and power

Benny's delivery is fucking flawless. He mastered that shit. Gotta be one of thee best bar writers of this gangsta shit I've heard in a long time.

Man this whole album is such a masterpiece. So much talent and dope features on one album should be a sin. Every song shines. Big ups to my favorite rapper of all time Royce for killing them emcees for breakfast one by one got their serial numbers.

“...Rasheed Wallace, I’m ok wit a tech!” Why Benny do em like that

That beat is incredible! Love this

I am a HUGE Royce fan and I am just ashamed I've slept on this album. I don't even know why it happened. I fucked up. I am still bumping "Cocaine" "Dumb" "Summer on Lock" "Boblo Boat" and "Strong Friend" from Book of Ryan (which is a fucking masterpiece that didn't get it's dues)

Masterful execution. Amazing beat. Benny's verse gives me goosebumps the same way a classical orchestra does.

I can’t believe they tried to say Hip Hop was dead a few years back... Never that. This is a culture, you can’t kill a thriving culture or its music 🔥🔥🔥

I'm a simple man. I see Benny. I click play. I click like.

God damn. This song is FULL of moments.

damn. EVERYONE on this is giving me goosebumps.

“Rasheed Wallace. I’m okay with a tech.”🔥🔥🔥

Gucci ain’t the first to put black faces on front of shirts 🔥💎 this album is gunna be incredible

One of the coldest tracks I've heard in a LONG time

Royce da 5'9 is the best rapper of all time to me

Royce n Benny 🤯🤯🤯💪💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥 this Benny's year💯💯

REAL HIP-HOP ALL 2020!!

Royce always goes hard on the beat........but the Butcher was serving this beat as well. The Butcher coming nikka!!!!!

Royce killed it, Benny the butcher buried it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😤😤

That Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner melody tho... 🔥 Ashley Sorrell is great.

Once again Royce 5'9" has given us a classic with Benny The Butcher. Salute!

"and for mornings, I never ate unless they fed me at school" -benny. shit I remember those

Thank God, for giving us the gift of them Montgomery Boys.

Royce one of the greatest ever, he’ll get his flowers after this album
