Royce da 5'9" - Tabernacle (Official Video) 

right. I just thought it was in reference to his height but that's even more significant. powerful

+TH3 L4UGH1NG M4N Grandma*

It was his granny not his aunt, but yes it's interesting to see the significance of the 5'9 now

+TH3 L4UGH1NG M4N BARS! LAYERS!

his grandmother you freak.

is always dope

yeah

is*

+Jzonqellis Washington Hes one of the few rappers that never has a bad verse imo

is an has been always will br

true

you damn right

+Dieter oficial sau nu i felt intense

Word

exactly

agreed

Official Briante Weber 'joyner lucas I'm sorry'

Official Briante Weber golden state to the hornets lol

Until you hear Power or Cocaine by Royce, both of them take this emotion and raise it. Royce is my dude. Living legend.

absolute

Yup

Sounds like he whining to me

luny tunez don't hate

@@lunytunez3634 stfu

khushwaj Stan’s like you are why people hate on em 😪 and em is my favorite rapper, but that wasn’t what the initial comment was about.

Because he's not using a trap beat and mumbling

MysticUmbreon, maybe cus is shit.

MysticUmbreon cause he is not wearing gay gear...

Because it has substance and actual lyrical technique, so it's not as heavily promoted as the new wave shit

Because he is speaking from the heart and he has bars, flows and great lyrics

1 billion

Facts*

Silva Army people don't know real music bro 😫

And I just got this in my recommendation now, like WTF!?

Amen

same

I call it shady xv not 45

+Grape Guy there is a radio station called shade 45. Plus XV is 15

+Grape Guy Shade 45 "radio" radio radio radiooooooo

+Grape Guy clown lol how is xv equal to 45

amen

+Carlos Clark One of the best there is now, one of the best there's ever been.

word

+Carlos Clark He sounds generic

+dogwondr Future Travis Scott and Migos is generic trap rap bullshit Royce is staying original and raps over better beats then any of these new school drug addict rappers

Idk about this man but that's surely a top 3 songs of the decade and a top 15 rap songs ever for me

I would give the most powerful hip hop song of the decade to Life Of A Bandana by Crooked I. The storytelling was perfect, the lyricism was so complex and the song made me immedesimate that much in the story it was telling that when it ended I shed a tear, same thing for Cocaine and this one but life of a bandana gave me a different thing that gave me chills. Tabernacle is still my fav song ever

"...He told his pops, "Go 'head, rest in peace, Daddy, I'ma take care of mama, go 'head and sleep, Daddy,You know I'ma be just like you",Then he picked me up, said,"Now I'm 'bout this Crip life too"😭💔 for me it's POWER of the BookOfRyan

+piotrekzproductions Hell naw

One of em

W

not just that. I think its one of the best songs in hip-hop history. And that's not an exaggeration either

unless Em released a song this year.

I know right!

it's usually the less-known that are better, not saying he doesn't deserve more fame, he definitely does.

stupid comment anyone that liked em should like royce they're styles are the exact same which is why em was able to rap so well alongside him

em why Their subject matter is totally different but their styles have a lot in common. I wouldn't say they're exactly alike though. That's kinda foolish to say just flat out like that.

actually that response proves ur stupidy. I never said em is the greatest, i said that their styles are the same. grow a brain dumbass

Marshall was cringe worthy

+FaZe Swan DAYUM didnt expect you to like this kind of music , swan

Exactly , well said

T R U T H !!!

repeat that again my guy.

thank you

I think the same

Quite possibly

Yea

True

Tha Imperial you must be great at turning shit back to em for no reason

Why lol

@ANIME ANGELIC STAR I've heard that song a thousand times

real talk

+Hit Hitto!!

The legendary mercenary, Solid.... I mean, Hitto!

+Prophet1121 dope album too....lupe is so damn good!!!

+Hit BUGGIN ... one of the goats

MrGladBEASTftw That quick?

facts

I noticed that, crazy coincidence?

How'd I miss that

Get to my girl, she 5 centimeters dialated so I awaited, she gotta get to bout 9 before it's that time

+Dude What He actually didn't do it to impress or be clever, this is Royce's own words... "I didn’t realize the symbolism of having my Granny on the 5th floor and my son being born on the 9th floor and my name being Royce da 5’9” until way after. I didn’t think nothing of it, but then when I started writing the song everything is kind of connecting. It gives me chills."

+Dude What He's a genius because of his lyricism. The experience he went through was shocking. I don't think what happened to him was a coincidence. I called him a rap genius cause that's what he is.

same

diddo

me too

+Otaku INTHEGOLD which is cool

sure

omg listen to him there more songs like this Royce is nice Eminem don't rap with just anyone

Kleng Amarth check out his latest freestyles!

You shld definitely listen to BOOM - its CLLAASSIC

👍👍👌👌👌🎊🎊💣💨💨🔥🔥 ROYCE DA 59 TOP 5 DEAD OR ALIVE

Lol fr I didn't see the connection til I went back and listened to welcome to our house, then I realized he wasn't on there. Plus him ending it with "even tho he just got here, goodbye."

+Crime_Alley That was such a deep, heart tugging song. I wanted to hear Royce's side, but it makes sense hoe he did it. I'm pretty sure it was planned out like that. these dudes are super conscious about how they do stuff..

Can someone explain the correlation he makes in the last line and whatever slaughterhouse song or line hes referencing here? I listened to the slaughterhouse song someone mentioned in the comments and still didn't hear it. Clarification would be much appreciated

Asher Bell on the song Goodbye by Slaughterhouse, the other three members tell the stories of the people close to them who have died in hospitals, but Royce doesn't have a verse on it. At then end of each verse, they end it with "even though ___ just got here, goodbye"(the ____ is filled in with either "y'all" or "I" or "you") therefore, this is seen as Royce's verse on that song.

And his granny didn't leave anywhere near that hospital ..

FREE X Not trying to mock his story or anything, but this here is what is called "Meant to be"

+thefatalveli1 em elzhi royce

+mike Elzhi aint from Detroit.

very true Royce is a high caliber emcee

100% Royce is the Truth

lucky you dude

i went to him and premo too. best time

Marcus I haven't heard him at his own concert but i went Em's concert and they performed "Lighters". He really is great live he has as much energy as Eminem has on stage.
