"Couldn't make a classic out of that trash even if you had Brenda drop it". He's referencing to Brenda's got a baby. Which is a Tupac song reference. Hard hard line.
Yep, for context: "brenda's got a baby" is a classic tupac song where brenda drops her baby in the trash. Hence "couldn't make a CLASSIC outta that TRASH if you had Brenda drop it"
@@IENetworkTV not an intelligence issue. They just haven't heard Brenda's got a baby enough or at all. Example if I reference "my friends last name is what you dudes can't make" your not stupid for not understanding the bar. You just don't know my friends last name. If you showed them the pac song they'd understand it, if not then intelligence can come into the convo. For the record my friend is Justin Rent aka J.Rent the RU-vid producer. He's got vids in the millions and hundreds if thousands so it's not like he's unknown but I wouldn't expect everyone to know who he is. These dudes know pac but they duper young. That's all.
@@IENetworkTV these guys are VERY intelligent. They just don't have the same points of reference that we have. They did react to Brenda's got a baby only recently, and then listened only one or two times. It's not playing everyday, everywhere like how I grew up knowing it.
@@jkingenglish no one cares about Mickey, unfortunately he hasn’t sustained a musical career that garners interest. Royce is on a whole never planet when it comes to his career. There are unknown dudes out there that will plastic wrap Mickey with a verse but it’s more than that, song writing, promotion, collaboration, business, got to be well rounded to maintain relevancy in the industry. Still love some Mickey though but just not comparable.
Royce's name comes from his height, 5 feet 9 inches, but the numbers five and nine have been in his life numerous times as he "found his calling" as a rapper in 1995 and in his song "Tabernacle" he discusses his grandmother dying on the fifth floor of a hospital and his first son being born on the ninth.
That Shannon sharpe bar was one of the best I heard all year ! My heard hurts cause even for a fan or jewels and bars I couldn't process it all. Gonna have to listen and repeat like 5 times 🔥
I like seeing younger dudes who respect the culture enough to educate themselves on artists and other aspects of the culture that came before their time (especially since a lot of hip-hop “purists” make it less appealing with the way they act condescending and self-righteous because they’re really just bitter about time passing them by) and I always appreciate anyone who is willing to admit they don’t know something. In other words, keep up the good work.
Royce will always be on my top 5 🔥🔥🔥 that Shannon Sharpe bar still gets me every time I hear it. There's very few that could've come up with that exceptional thought and deliver it at the right time in history. I want yall to hear Random - Dying Breed 🔥🔥🔥 RIP to Fred the Godson who is featured on that with 3D Natee too
Royce has always been on my top 5!! Y’all gotta listen to more of his music 🎶 He is way to underrated. Has been for decades and He’s the only one who can even compete with Em and Wayne trust me when it come to cadence and Bars he’s different and is very versatile, Listen to more of his music you won’t be disappointed! 🐐🐐🐐🐐
This one you’ll listen to multiple times and still miss bars. Royce makes you really really 🤔 💭hard !!! One of the most under rated artist! He been killing it since I was 15 and now I’m 36. Keep up the vids! Big fan of y’all.. happy that y’all listen to real hip hop 🎉 🔥
It's cool that you guys appreciate the craft even if some of the lines are going over your head. I hope that it just inspires you to look more into it. Keep it up guys great work

80% of the metaphors here are what hip hop fans love and appreciate. But what dude was spitting here, you would’ve had to lived awhile and soaked in education along with past pop culture to understand. The puzzled look on these dudes faces was the equivalent of me not fully comprehending as a child the sacrifices made during the Civil Rights Era that made my life possible.
My Poppa raised me like I’m a dog 🐶 with rabies it means if a dog had rabies you wouldn’t want to come near it or mess with it that’s how Royce was raised I been waiting on y’all to do this one and compare to my Guy King 👑 Los Keep Grinding Salute 🫡 y’all young boys
7:52 - Anunnakis are the deities of the ancient world (Babylon, Sumeria, etc). The Emerald Tablet is some mystic/hermetic writing going back to Hermes Trismegistus. He's speaking on ancient knowledge.
So glad y’all got to this one! Please react to Locksmith DJ Kay Slay freestyle and his Sway in Da morning freestyle with fat Joe. Also do the Daylyt Funkflex freestyle
Since someone asked "What Lonzo do?" When Royce said "Drop a LonZo Ball corpse off at Nas porch dawg, that's for the blasphemy" he was referring to a video Lonzo made asking "who tf even listens to Nas anymore" when asked about top rappers on a live stream some years ago. This was extremely creative word play on Royce's part. Great video guys, keep it up 🙏
What I love about Royce is he knows his target audience will miss a lot of these bars and he doesn't care. He won't dumb himself down so they get it. He's like, you got Google, study.
I’ve been watching your reactions and I must I like your work. Just some advice though, don’t underestimate the guy in the shades 🕶😎, he catches a lot of bars that are complex, you guys just don’t give him the confidence he needs to express himself. I’ve been watching a couple of your reactions and I see this as a trend. Love and peace 🙏🏾
There is a reason that Eminem himself said "royce is one of the only people that can match him on the mic lyrically" and this freestyle is the reason why he said that , royce is a fucking BEAST
One of you having genius on your phone may be useful, especially for someone like Royce. Almost every other bar in this was word play. Good video! 👌🏽 Royce is one of my favorite rappers
Do Tabernacle next and Cocaine Also do EVERY BAD MEETS EVIL TRACK EVER! Royce pushes Em to the next level on every track! The Brenda line is so fucking hard! Don't worry about missing Royce bars, unlike Em he doesnt explain anything and he really is a student of the game his knowledge is crazy, you need to listen to this about 5 times and be old like us and you will still miss things! Or go watch Knox Hills reaction, he breaks it all down!
"Side door trapped thru the silver screen Sidney Poitier" A reference to Poitier being one of the first black (male or female) stars of early black & white films aka "The Silver Screen" 🔥🔥💯💯🔥
Grandmother was dying on the 5th floor of the hospital and his son being born on the 9th floor. Check out the song tabernacle. Also he's been rapping since 1995. His height 5' 9" makes sense too. ' =foot "=inches. He does look a little short too. 🤷🏾♂️
You know these fellas always got the ladies coming over to chill with them🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣They handsome and hilarious and got some real nice physiques nice work fellas lmao
