Royce Da 5’9” Talks Eminem Vs. Nick Cannon & Drugs In Hip-Hop | For The Record 

I feel like Royce is being recognized as a top Hip Hop artist lately and that’s great, but he was always fire 🔥

Royce 5'9 is one of the most important emcees we have

A Bad Meets Evil II would be dope, no doubt.

"Anytime you put Eminem in the headlines, you get clicks" **puts Eminem in the headline of the video**

I know lots of people opened this video for the Eminem part, but trust me the whole thing is worth listening to

i freakin love royce he doesnt get recognition that he really deserves he is an amazing lyricist

It must be annoying asf to be asked about another man every time you do an interview your whole career 😂..

Royce speaks like a poet man, everything he says is real as fuck. love this dude. Eminem and Royce are the best rappers. Need some more of them on an album. With there new styles it would tell a dope story

24:19 Royce’s thoughts on Eminem vs. Wild n out boy

"I think you're the best rapper breathing" Royce: 😐

“Will there ever be another bad meets Evil?” “If nick cannon stop keeping him busy” Wait...

I miss this feeling of Eminem just blowing up on the Internet like when he released Kamikaze

One of the rare interviews of Royce where every other question isn’t about Marshall

"Whenever you put Eminem in the headline you're getting clicks" Puts Eminems name in Title

I love Royce so much! He is legendary to those who really care abt the real art behind rap! Just a great human! 🔥 Book of Ryan was so good & it shoulda gotten more recognition but the public ain't about that life...

I remember a decade ago I went to a 50 cent concert and the brought out slaughter house, dipset, G-Unit, lox, papoose, red cafe, Wyclef Jean, Maino, and more. That shit was a WILD night, one of the best concerts I’ve been to.

"put Eminem in the headline you're getting clicks" proceeds to do exactly that while hardly talking about the "beef" at all

Bad meets Evil 2nd album would be nice with them lyrics

You are legitimately so humble and respectful Rob. Class interview, class act, thought provoking questions. There was a positive energy in that room. Subscribed.

I have to say Royce is one of the most intelligent, real, artistic, coolest people I have seen! This dude is cool AF in more ways than one. I respect him more every time I see him! Congrats on the sobriety 5 9.

Royce and Crooked give great interviews both have a lot of wisdom both legends on the mic

He could of played Hancock with this outfit. All jokes aside i love Royce and hope he continues to show other artist that growth never stops! Him & black thought legit are the top two

28:50 "Whenever you put Eminem in headlines, you get clicks" Me: Checks title *smiling villainy*

he hit the phenomenon of 5'9" perfectly; most artists reach a peak in their first 2-3 albums and this man has been around for 20 years and he is only getting better. As an Songwriter myself, I write as honestly to myself and hope other people will feel it or connect with it.

I want a room like this in my house, all them records! Shiit would be 🔥🎶

Really enjoyed this interview. Well done.

"Slaughterhouse thing to me ..it was always meant for us to come together and I knew it wouldn't last forever. It was a job that needed to be done in hip hop at that time. 💯💯💯

28:55 the irony

*Exactly i was waiting for*

Royce & Em are a super team. Both better cause of there friendship & collaborations. Period.

Hi guys, from France. Discovering your channel. Great vibes, great spirit ! Thanx for that great discussion.

I've always seen Genius on Spotify for years now. Never even thought about them having a RU-vid channel. Saw this pop up and immediately subscribed. Binge watching now. 👍🏻

Yeah Tabernacle gave me chills

Royce is so real man.

“If nick stops keepin him busy” So Em is cookin somethin up. 😏

“Will there be another Bad Meets Evil?” “If Nick Cannon will stop keeping him busy...” Is Em working on a response?

Nick Cannon: I haven't been dissed yet Eminem: Me neither

"I just went down a Fat Joe rabbit hole the other day." lol

Your interviews always hit a higher energy of elevation thank u bro, dope

That was a good interview, can't wait for the new album

Very under rated..... I wish for a Royce and Skyzoo album collaboration

The only rapper who can keep up with Eminem in a song Respect 🙌🏻

Masterful interview fam. Definitely felt the respect in the room. Royce is so level headed it’s peaceful to artists such as myself.

Can't wait for the album!!!!!!

Notice Royce body language once this nerd said " u re the greatest rapper breathing"🤣 im dead

Speaking about eminem getting clicks. This man announced a new album. Title doesn't even say that. Lmfao.

Amazing interview

Always watch Royce interviews start to finish ! Drops so many gems.

"I'm just like you." not everyone knows the real meaning behind that phrase. Too many use it in vain or pity.

"My saliva and spit can split threads into fiber and bits" This guy is like a lyrical samurai drifter

Humble, entertaining interview. Props.

royce wears the glasses like swaye wears the turban-ALWAYS

love how Royce says about motives then when Rob says about Eminem's name getting clicks he says "yep. agenda" and rob didn't even notice he was referring to him in that exact moment and this exact interview, that is some smooth shit (if i am right)

Need a new Bad Meets Evil album!

Tabernacle is the deepest and most truthful song you will ever get from any artist!!

Dope interview I'm locked in

Royce is top 5 and one of the best rappers left. Book of Ryan was the best album of 2018 and one of the best of all time imo. Good interview. Love these one on one interviews without interruptions.

One of the most underrated

Good interview🔥

Damn, that was a good ass interview! Love Royce!

Why is he dressed like Tyrone Biggums 🤣🤣

That man Royce

4:59 I've always wanted to talk to Royce on that topic, major respect to Rob for always paying attention to the details artist are providing in their work and shedding light on them!!

Wooo! Keep it up!

"He sits in that space where people associate all things bad, you know. Like they dont hear from him, he's not so vocal all the time. He doesn't do a bunch of interviews, so people are very presumptuous and people really want to know everybody's business. And I think that shield between him and the people leaves room for people to create their own narrative and picture. And then you have the other guys that choose to trash him for whatever, it makes it easier for them to control the narrative and make it seem a certain way. And unless he comes down to clarify what's being said, or go against what being said, then it just looks like (their narrative.)" - Royce on what people dont understand about Eminem.

Royce heavy underrated!!!! & awesome interview.

Thank you for the most intellegent conversation on rap music ever.

Good interview.

Random fact: royce had the best 50 cent d12 diss and honestly destroyed them lol it's called malcolm x look it up. That bizarre line is still one of my favorites

Knowledge is power, its worth more than any dollar amount on the planet

Great interview and yes you need to believe in yourself before anything else. That is true in not just music but in any career.

Good interview

Thought this was Chapelle show for a second 😂😂

When royce speaks i listen

Cool interview.

This is a beautiful video 🔥

Royce is the type of dude who when he speaks you listen. Always giving out knowledge

24:20 Eminem talk

Genius interview

Dude @ 9:52 said No Church on Sundays, it's No Dope on Sundays🤦‍♂️😂

Great interview. Don't listen to the hate "em in the title/Nick v em beef/etc" It's always great to hear from a close friend about Em's life and give us a chance to clear some smoke about whatever topics were concerned about. Secondly, as a first time viewer who admittedly only clicked cuz em and Royce were in the title I can say I very much enjoy your content and style of interview and discussion, thank you for taking the time to make such great content and I look forward to familiarizing myself better with your channel. 👍👍👍

I like that carpet

I appreciate the alignment of the rug and table.

That 2nd verse of tabernacle is classic.

Royce wearing 3D cinema glasses 😂.

"when you put Eminem in the headlines, you get clicks"... takes own advice.

Nice interview 💪

the guy is just calm...thats charisma!

When are y’all gonna talk about Tobe Nwigwe?!!!!!!!

I’m at lunch watching this😅 worth it

Bruh, I don't know if you are a 'Professional Interviewer' 🤣🤣, but this is a GREAT Interview. Much Respect. Great questions, great flow, great seque. Great answers too. So dope.

18:50 was my fav part keep it 💯

Nick in front of mirror:"im about to end this man's whole career"

I agree with him. Anytime a person let me hear their verse I would definitely make sure to top them to make a good song.

I respect Royce so much. I'm in recovery now since 2012. I am a recovered heroin addict. And once your serious about change then it's like your reborn and I discovered who I am. So I feel so much in the rap game and music industry has got out of hand in addition. Just like Mac Miller and Juice World has passed and even others I haven't named in this comment. So I give you Royce all my respect. Great video.

I like Royce's work. I like the interview. I am a fan. And was just wondering what camera setup did you use to film this interview.

Dont''t ever mention Em and Royce in any kinda way negative. It's not how they roll.

Really sick of seeing Royce get asked about Eminem. Ask about HIM for fuck sakes. Hes one of the best in the game, and it's all just Eminem.

Another Bad Meets Evil PLEASE!

I’m glad true lyricists like Royce are still keeping the memories of Pun and Big L (my favorite rapper) around. Mad respect for remembering the fallen legends other than just Biggie and Pac.
