Royce da 5'9" on Meeting Eminem, Eminem's Temper, Em Attacking People
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Royce Da 5'9" says his stage name was based off of his height and the R emblem he wore on his chain resembled the Rolls Royce signature emblem, however, prior to being dubbed the infamous name in high school, he says he went by the name R Dog, which didn't even last a year.
During the conversation Royce also spoke about meeting Eminem in 1997 at a Usher concert, where the rapper was selling his Slim Shady EP. He also spoke about Em's "short fuse" and his temper flaring at times during the beginning of his career. Royce also spoke about seeing him squaring up with people at shows, which you can hear more about in the above clip.
This guy is so humble, wish he received more credit.
He's got mine dude is in my top
Royce is slowly but surely rising. I’ve noticed people mentioning him a lot. The Book of Ryan/Caterpillar opened another door for Royce, and I’m ecstatic
We know and his peers know. You don't talk the best of the best without mentioning Royce. He's at that table
Book of Ryan really got his name out there. Royce has been needing his due props for a while now.
It looks like he really puts alot of thought into his words before he even speak.
Sucks for Royce that he is literally gonna be asked about Eminem forever...guy has done more interviews about Eminem than Eminem himself has done.
+. “Josh Gets Buckets” good point!
you see the pictures of his place bruh? that shit is like 15 wal marts.
Paul noneofyabusiness kinda/ kinda not
Lmao you ain't wrong tho
MissAdrian2354 its sad kuz hes so much better than em smh everyone here in detroit knows this
this dude is 41 years old he looks like hes 25 damn
Healthy black dudes dont age 😂
And he’s an alcoholic, some good genetics or something.
Black don’t crack
@@immortalmurr he is sober now. He went to rehab and got a therapist.
@@immortalmurr A recovered alcoholic. This is from 2016, but go listen to his 2018 Album "Book of Ryan", and you can honestly learn an immense amount about the old life of Royce da 5'9.
I want an interview where Eminem is asked Royce questions
I’m pretty sure Em is okay with that. He loves sharing stories about his friends.
Em would never do a Vlad interview, but everytime I hear Em speak on Royce it's been nothing but praises. They both have a mutual respect for one another.
Em has spoke about royce and slaughterhouse in interviews quite a bit actually but of course I got what u mean and I agree Royce gets an eminem question every interview but I guess that comes with the territory. Anyone that is a Royce fan knows what he is capable of and knows that he is a stand alone artist. I'm just thankful that Royce is getting his attention in the state of hip hop today he has worked his ass off
I don't think he ever called him Eminem , he always calls him Marshall.
Go watch the crook's corner interview Eminem did last week. You'll get to know how much Em loves Royce..
'you know you blew up when the women rush your stands, and try to touch your hands like some screaming usher fans'
that line makes a lot more sense now
Holy shit.
yo! forreal tho only thing I could think of when he said they met at an usher show.
That line sprung to mind as soon as he mentioned the Usher gig.
AtomicBomberMan innit
AtomicBomberMan yea lol
What I take from this interview is Royce is a humble guy because I've heard him tell this Em story a few times. He doesn't sound annoyed or bothered by the questions. Good guy, respect.
Put some respek on his name
Em saved Royce’s life. Literally. Royce mentions it almost everytime he speaks. So of course he’s gonna be mentioned. Just like Royce is always brought up with Em’s name. These 2 are intertwined for life. And that’s not a bad thing. Bad Meets Evil is a great album too. They work great together. Shout out Detroit ✌️
Hundred percent agreed.
Bad meets Evil was super good.
Facts!
One thing I wish them brought up was EM and Royce not talking cuz proof and Royce where beefing but they then squashed it in jail
Bad meets evil is one of the best albums ever hands down two of the best lyricist ever on the same album can't wait for the sequel
Алексей Басаев Name 1 video where Eminem has been interviewed excluding the Shade45 interview. Shady stays away from journalists cause they twist everything.
That was a decent Eminem interview. Now if only I could find a Royce interview.
I mean eminem was a big part in his life man. Em helped him get sober, like eminem was part of his success and royce was part of ems.
It is absolutely SHOCKING that Royce is slept on this deeply! He can go toe to toe with Em, and just about any lyricist! Dude has BARS. People need to listen and appreciate real rap! Rap with substance!
You high asf. Royce is somewhere near Cole and Kendrick level.
@Steve Jobs lolol what u said made no sense... told him he's high then said he's somewhere near Cole and Kendrick? You saying Cole and Kendrick aren't close to Eminem level?
@@sbakernyc5761It's a bit late dawg,but they are his students, including Royce...Tracks like RAW,Vegas,All i think bout, Caterpillar, there's so many records shows that it ain't bout just Royce, nobody puts syllables together like Em...it ain't even close.. it's bout studying our culture, lyricism art of emceein...rather than arguing on internet like fools,coz descredtin,hatin, disrespectin on white boi it's like a trend which never gonna stop so yeah,
Doesn't mean they ain't great amazing amazing MCs we have..
@@sbakernyc5761they aren't. They are great but no one is on Em's level.
I actually clicked on this because of Royce. Hands down in my top 5 lyricist. Lyrically one of the few people that can go toe to toe with Em respectively
I agree hands down
I'm gonna start listening to this guy more
Hes also the most underrated rapper alive lol
For me Nas and ra are probably better than em, an Pun is close
Crooked I also can be up there with Royce and em
He looks *thrilled* to be talking about Eminem so much in *his* interview.
Ain't it annoying how Eminem is almost mentioned every time in Royce interviews? I get it Em brought him in the game but this guy has held his own, don't see him as no underdog/sidekick
Id argue that royce is jus as important to em's career as he is to Royce. Royce rubbed off on ems style. Same thing happened in slaughterhouse... Royce rubbed off on them to... But crooked I is the o lyrics rapper I've heard that rubbed off on royce.
"For the media, I got some suggestions. Fuck Marshall! Ask us the questions!!
Whenever someone affiliated with Eminem is interviewed, it's always about him. Kinda sad that they won't talk about the career of the person they're interviewing.
+TTG Vox thank you. overrated shit
real talk, Royce is flame
Royce is good. Em is legend
That line that caught Eminem’s attention from Royce is exactly something Eminem would say if he was rhyming haha.
Figured his earlier rap names would have been Royce da 5'3", Royce da 5,4" etc til he hit 9"
Haa! Underrated comment
What if he had gotten taller after highschool Royce da 5’10 just don’t sound right
😂 😂
Haha🤣
5'9½"
Royce da 5'9 is a dope ass name
Trauma The Mc not really
Dead ass
@@gabethedog4043 Better than Lil (Anything)
Ryo and farrrrr better than “gabe the dog” smh
I don't think so
He went bar for bar with Em on fastlane I don't care what nobody says.
Seen Cxvpher?
He went bar for bar with Em on a bunch of songs on Hell The Sequel.
He might be the only guy who CAN Keep up with him.
song was fire I forgot about tht
+KINGSEANFAME wrong
Em's temper and attacking people starts 7:07
Thank you sir. I appreciate people like you
I love how he calls him marshal that shows how close they are
True
Everyone reasonably close to Em calls him by his real name. Like Slaughterhouse/D12, probably some pop collab artists like Skylar Grey, Ed Sheeran, etc.
Yellawolf strictly calls him Marshal also
Once you get to a certain level of coolness, you no longer have to match your hat with your shirt.
Facts!! But I bet the sneakers and hat match on point tho.
Hat and sneakers have to match, shirt can contrast. This is simple shit.
Ninja Channel but it do match lol
Hahahha....i wish i can read this kind of comment after this
They’re both Detroit that’s why
This was one of the most REAL interviews I've ever seen, Royce is nothing but honest.
No royce is not being honest, the truth was he stopped being friends with Eminem cos em wanted 50 cent an he made proof his hype man over royce. Royce got jealous an started going at everyone,
"Royce on Eminem, Eminem, Eminem and some more Eminem"
This should be Proof doing the interview.. And we all know it. RIP
All the guys in Eminem's group are shit without him.in all their interview that have watched ,most of the questions seems to be about Eminem.
Floyd Roberts I'm sorry, you must not be familiar with his work.. Proof is mad ill.
I think Proof was responsible for Slim Shady more than we will ever know...
isn't even Em's group..they INDUCTED HIM. He's just the one who blew.
I've heard Royce tell these stories a billion times
They always ask him the same fucking questions.
Ugh I know! Breakfast club was the worst as always
he has a song about it too. the first track off his new album layers...
+The Chaotic Arsonist what hood are u from? the what and the where?till im grabbing my hair and im tearing it out
RIIIIGHT ALWAYS ON HERE LIKE WTF NIGGA
Vlad acting like he was bumping Eminem before he blew..sure thing buddy.
hahaha
hahaha
That's vlad with every white rapper
+Rex _ oh shut the fuck up with the race shit damn
+Cade Kennedy black
Listen... no one loves Em more than I do... but GOOD GRIEF! We don't need to hear about Eminem everytime he gets interviewed! Royce is SO talented. My personal opinion, he's the only rapper who can go toe to toe with Em lyrically. He's a Genius!
Bringing him up everytime is so disrespectful.
Royce is a genius
I can respect it
Immortal Technique would kill Em and Royce without having to write down a word
Royce ain’t believing one word from this man about him buying the SSEP
Vlad wants to interview Eminem so bad but it ain't ever gonna happen.
lmfaoooo
True. He too busy in the studio
real sht
Slim Jesus is as close as he'll ever come
^I only meant in look not in skill lmao Slim Jesus IS STAN!
Poor Royce, he's such a dope MC but people always asking about Em, respect the artist, not his connections yo.
Met Em at an Usher concert. That shit just sounds funny lmao
My name is mentions screaming usher fans. I bet this was the concert Em had in mind
The freestyles this guy would kick with em back in the day were insane! They were both equally talented lyricist
when you can't afford to interview Eminem
shut up
right
Well he interviewed Russell Simmons and he has far more money than Eminem, But nice joke.
***** I never said anything about a rapper.
"Russell Simmons is not a rapper. But nice try." Really didn't give me that vibe. But that's fine, To each their own.
I First Heard About This Nigga From Grand Theft Auto 3.
That's a good start. He get to say he was apart of GTA before it was cool
Me too, lol
I probably heard him on that game without knowing
Jamie Starr the song is called im the king youtube it
+AlmightyGamer that's the one didn't realize it was him until I seen your comment that radio station was wack tho on gta 3 only 4 song's
Every Royce interview will have some mention of Eminem, no matter the topic (similar to Memphis Bleek with Jay Z).
its sad to see really, but i don't pity him cause he fucks with the best and the interviewer can suck it.
+FullOfFail plus its only way to get to eminem he stays out of the spot light
worst analogy
Guess that's why Dame flipped during the Breakfast Club interview.
The dude met Marshall & when they met at a club the rest is history & now we got Bad meets evil back. 313 emcees. Just glad Royce & Em got back together after Proof’s murder
Royce is one of the best MC’s in the industry. Sad he constantly gets shadowed since people see him as a sidekick
I like how every time he refers to em he says Marshall and that's respect
Just imagine if proof never died, D12 would still be here
I've never seen an interview where he wasn't asked about Eminem.
It's an Eminem interview by way of Royce da 5'9 lol
Reason I wouldnt even watch it.
It still has some points in his life that wee not told correctly..
Royce da 5" 9' talks about Eminem, Eminem's favorite food, Eminem's first kiss, Eminem's former relationship with that bi racial lady that hits high notes and was in the tub with jimmy Kimmel, Eminem's favorite movies and more!
Royce da 5' 9"*
theosmelek1 Uh...
Hahaha
Lol
I think Royce and Em take some no-aging pills together 🤣
Em look like shyt
They drinking virgin blood..
Royce is one of thee most Underrated.
"im an alcaholic so my memory is terrible" aaaahahahahahahaha Royce keepin it real
He's a recovered alcoholic, obviously went to meetings or rehab... Anyone who goes through that will identify as an alcoholic for ever, no matter how long they've been clean
@@matthew413 it's the whole "once an addict, always an addict," mentality that comes with it.
They talking about Em like he is already dead or something...
+funnyguyhahahaha L
+funnyguyhahahaha Is that why he still outsells almost every other rapper?
***** Way to generalize, bud.
+funnyguyhahahaha thats why his new albums still go #1 and platinum within two weeks lol
+RUclips Services then blacks should start buying/supporting music from black artists.
Vlad wants to interview Em so bad so he can tell him "There's a new slim Shady coming up from Frank Block"
such a fool 😂😂😭😭
lmaoooo
yeh 😂
😂😂 who the nursery rhyme boi!
He should that's a legend
What sucks is that Royce is a great rapper, one of the best I've listened to, definitely better than any of these current rappers but he will always be in the shadow of Eminem.
England is my Gender "now he's second best and he can deal with that"
Eminem reps him more than you think
Royce IS Em’s shadow
Actually, I'm half burnt 🔥 but Royce's 5'9" who can U out rap. Half-&-Half . ✨ .Ur a legendary in the making keep on going.
They're doing Royce like they do the rest of tde.
what? TDE treats their artists very well.
Exactly
+Jarvis Elmerhath I'm talking about how interviewers always ask about Eminem just like they always ask tde artists about kendrick, and you don't know anything that goes on behind the scenes so how tf would you know they treat their artists well?
+Jarvis Elmerhath then how come they only promote Kendrick
+Cody OD they don't though in fact Kendrick does most of his promoting his self for example when school boy q song came out and did bad the manager of tde was ranting on Twitter how it's the fans that decide not to buy their songs but always complain they want more
Vlad, I'd like to see you do an interview with Xzibit. He's been in the game forever and been around some legends from the Midwest to the West Coast so I'm sure he's got stories for weeks.
Yes!!
yup.. title for that interview would be : Xzibit on working with eminem, working with eminem again, eminem, eminem...eminem..more eminem
888extreme You're forgetting Tha Alkaholiks, King Tee, Ras Kass, Snoop, Ice Cube, Kurupt, DJ Quik, Nate Dogg, Dr Dre, 50 Cent, Mobb Deep, The Game, Busta Rhymes, among many others. You're forgetting about being on the Up In Smoke tour and hosting a huge TV show and appearing in several movies. You're forgetting he's a multi platinum rapper with 20 years in the game. He's definitely seen a lot.
+WILD THINGS I agree he a real OG for real
💯
Man I love Royce... definitely in my top 10, dead or alive. Stay humble bro.
I'm from Detroit and Royce da 5'9 will always be on my top ten favorite Rappers
R dog
B rabbit
🤔 Wonder where Em got that name?
I think it was a nickname eminems mom used to call him
Bruh watch 8 mile
Zander Gilder stupid fuck get lost lmao
His nickname in his childhood was rabbit and he love b so
(Everyone’s)(Moms)(Is)(Nice)(Except)(Mine)
E.M.I.N.E.M
"Alright, check it out I'm here with Detroit's very own... Royce Da Eminems Friend"
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
R-Dog 😂😂😂😂
it was probs spelt r-dogg
or R-Dawg....
or Raw Dog
Or like a pirate, Arrr dog
+Rex _ 😂
He has/had a good father. That’s what a good father does. He’s definitely the reason why he’s a good dude.
We need another Bad Meets Evil Bro!
We do it’s called caterpillar😂
Royce is one of the most underrated yet amazing rappers in hip hop history 👏
Come on ask him about someone other than Eminem, I get it just because Eminem is a superstar and he's basically a ghost, he does virtually no press whatsoever so the only way to get an Eminem interview is basically talking to other people around eminem.
That's all this guy does. Ask rappers about rappers he can't get interviews with. I don't know why anyone agrees to do an interview with vlad
exactly
+banklikefrankwhite1 promo,publicity,etc,how don't you understand that?
so if you get it, why are you then complaining
+Ayomide Ayodele me?
Why is he questioning him about eminem? I would get irritated if I was Royce.
Love Royce. He’s in my top 5 favorite rappers of all time!
Cap
In 1997, Royce and Eminem spit a 12 minute Freestyle going back and forth....one of the best cyphers ever, look it up💯
ruclips.net/video/J4titGHU9Kg/видео.html
I couldn't find the video but I found a lyric one is this it?
'Bad meets Evil' is one of my all time favorite songs.
Royce gotta be one of the realest niggas on Em team. 95% of his interviews are about Em and usually shit like that would make people start to resent their friend.
Mailbox or like 100%
Every single interview with him is, how did u meet Em. whats Em like. if you didnt know Em would we be interviewing you
I think Vlad would. Royce made a name for himself without Em. If Trinidad James can get an interview, Royce can too. Vlad stay up on interviewing dope MCs...not saying Trinidad James is dope though.
I was thinking the same thing from the title. Its like Vlad knows he'll never get an Eminem interview so he will interview him vicariously through people who know him. Id be insulted if I was Royce.
This title is pathetic. I'm a white eminem and royce fan. Why in every interview does royce have to talk about eminem for.
Because Hip Hop is global and extremely popular, and with that logically there are more white rap fans then black, and white fans gravity towards Eminem since he's white and co signed by *key* black people. And then the fact that mostly nerdy white kids are on the internet and go on hip hop sites so Vlad and company *caters* to that demographic. It's called knowing your audience. But I'm with you this shit makes sleepy.
there a black eminem too?
+Black Troy McClure ahaha. tru
Because Eminem is the reason Royce isn't working at McDonalds right now
Alexander Milentis you must be working at mcdonalds because eminem didn't help you
Imagine can’t having an interview without an interviewer asking u about Eminem, if feel bad for Royce man... he deserves way more and he top 10 for sure.
Ya'll can't blame Royce. Vlad constantly brings up Eminem. Royce ain't a rude guy, you can tell most of the time he get's pissed with the Em questions but answers them anyway. This is why Eminem won't do an interview with Vlad. I like hearing stories from that era though. I remember DJ Whoo Kid told a story about Eminem in Japan running around kicking doors off and pretending to shoot people, it's quite funny, I think it's still on RUclips somewhere.
He seems to be quite a humble guy
7:14 This. Royce truly spoke the truth about connecting with Em when he talks about this.
Royce seems like a real was dude. Very honest and genuine about the shit he speaks on.
Respect Royce 5"9. Love the Fact You Said " You Won't See Me Acting Like That Again" Fairplay Man👋🙏💫
I first heard of Royce from Grand Theft Auto 3 on Game Radio.
I wished to know more about how he got involved with Rockstar games and how they did the station stuff.
franwex Someone HAS to ask that question in an interview soon. I’d love to know more about those days. Those songs were SO good! I still bump them to this day.
royce is so talented. eminem is my favorite, but definitely royce deserves more credit what he gets.
There we go again another interview with Royce just to ask about Eminem😅😏
Royce and Em are just amazing together. There will always be the more popular but if your head is right they should never be divided. It is what it is. Just take care of each other
Royce is the only person that can perfectly keep up with Eminem on a song... Royce is underrated af, he's one of the most skilled rappers of all time ! Top 10 imo
Nickel Nine is finally getting the shine he's worked so hard for his entire career. I know he gets tired of having to answer questions about Marshall, but these knock off ass interviewers will never get the opportunity to get a sit down with Marshall so they have to make due with his associates. Lol
Anyway, happy father's day to my fellow fathers out there.
FAST LANE tho
is absolute FIRE even the video is hot AF ridiculously underrated
funny how the only rapper to even keep up with em on a song always just gets asked about em
I've been hearing the bits and pieces of "Tabernacle" and it makes it that much better
I love Royce. Always humble, always real, always looking to better himself and others. Great human first and an even better MC. Shout Out Royce ✌️
Royce and Em is hands down the most illest lyrical'est most fugging ear fuckingest duo ever created!
ear fuxkingest?
8:17 Ems haters will never acknowledge that. Also one of the reason he's respected the most by real rappers.
Eveyone talking bout how he always gets asked bout em
Same goes for every time em is interviewed they ask bout dre
it's sad though, because motherfuckers act like they forgot about dre..
Royce Da 5'9" and Eminem will always be solid, they've both helped each other when the struggle gets real, Em got Royce into a facility to get sober ..........this is reality off the mic for these brothers
That track Scary Movie... Royce n Em kill it... And Take From Me definitely my 2 favorite tracks of these 2
"I'm an alcoholic, so my memory is terrible." LOL
fuckyou
title should've said "em attacking pop star"s careers 😂😭😭
Nicholas #BigDiggerNick #NickBlock and y are u always commenting under my comments seeking attention?
Negative attention specifically
***** 😂 u talking about ja rule and Nelly? 😭
the pop stars attacked him.. they tried to start beefs with Em, so how is that eminem's fault. I love how people hate on Eminem because so called MC rappers did not go at him. And they still don't since Eminem came back he has literally put everyone on blast and dares people to come at him, and we still don't hear a peep. So what i wanna know is when are we gonna start holding the field responsible for not going after Em. cuz, I know who i got Em..
spoken like a true hater... you don't care? well, could have fooled me. yeah, they didn't go after other rappers cuz they knew that they would lose.. lol overrated? lmfao They say the same thing about Lebron James. you must be stupid or racists and prolly both..
"interview with Royce da 5'9" - only talking about Em... -.-
Royce is a real dude so humble and smart i have a lot of respect for him especially sticking up for eminem all the time. Royce deserves so much more credit for his technical skills as a raper he is a monster IMO
Royce is a superb mc. but never would I say he's underrated. All his albums are average his mixtapes are 🔥 if it wasn't for eminem he wouldn't of been good enough to make it as a soloist, just cos a rapper spits bars in a complex way it doesn't make him underrated, there's alot more that goes into it
@@breaks3085 i feel what your saying bro i just think he never got as much love as he should have. If ut wasnt for eminem being his homie he wouldnt get the respect he has gotten. To me he is top notch as a lyricist
@@C-Smith-87 he is a top tier lyricist definitely
Royce is a real man. I appreciate him maturing and sayin he'd never glorify any of that kid shit ever again. Good role model man.
One day Royce gon' flip out with all these ''EMINEM'' questions, goddamn, every fucking interview, he gon' do a Tom Cruise and jump on your couch like Rick James, Vlad cut it out !! He ain't his fucking lawyer.
5:57 you can see Royce slowly getting pissed off thinking ''what a waste of fucking time'' I find it highly rude if someone is interviewing you and they ask you 6 thousand questions about somebody else, fucking unprofessional
d12 get it worse. At least they kinda ask Royce about Layers or his childhood a little bit first
This man should have the same platform as Eminem because he's been knocking fools out the box way before Eminem came along and he's a lyrical genius with an Immaculate flow
Em is best in the game of rap.his the goat.not you Royce sorry...
I half expected Vlad to start talking about Slim Jesus.
One of the most underated n slept on rapper and the only one who can stand on a track with eminem .Respect
I really enjoyed Royce's verse in Method Man's "What the Beat" track with DJ Clue. It was the 1st time hearing his skill.
so strange it is clearly a phone call between them and he has redone the questions to make it sound like a face to face interview. To begin with I was like o.0
Respect to Royce for putting up with all the bullshit Em talk. I'm sure he's tired of it.
We know you can't get Em, Vlad so I guess this is the only way you can live out your fantasies.
Elbert Gutierrez
lol you know it's true.
Vlad be living that gangsta life vicariously through all his interviews, same with meeting Em. No amount of connects Officer Vlad has will he ever get a sitdown with Em.
2:36 - Drank that water so quick, it's like he never drank it at all.
Royce is the only rapper that can go back and forth bar for bar with each other everybody talks about em but Royce is just as much of a beast
Everyone needs to check out the Bad meets evil 12 minute freestyle. Royce is the most underrated to this day
"You have to be crazy to believe in yourself" -Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies)
Psycho mike!
Lmao try find an interview with Royce where they don't bring up Em
I found one.....
wait, never mind fam.
