Royce is one of the greatest. Too underrated.
real talk
One of the very very few persons ever to keep up with Em on a track, one of the greatest lyricists of all time. #TrustTheShooter #NickelN9ne
+Amine Bhl facts
Hes one of the few who can go bar for bar with Slim on a track and not be an afterthought lol
Amine Bhl been saying the same for years. real shit
Eminem secretly has a heart of gold
when he's not dissin damn near every soul on earth 😂😂😂😂
Ag C not secretly
sus
Slowly noticing who that guy is and why he is so admirable, em is secretly doing the most for those who he sees fit
@@PEK16 Yeah man just like what he did for that girl...that was so admirable
I've been sober almost 4 years...Congratulations to you Royce
shortbus1127 just seen this you still sober? If so congratulations
@@JamesGreen-bu5jr coming up on 6 years September 16th
shortbus1127 congrats
6 years man!!! Congrats
shortbus1127 congrats!!!
I quit drinking, smoking and gambling at the same time. Don't ask me how I did it. Shit was just out of control and I decided I didn't want it anymore. I got real lucky. Didn't need treatment or counseling, meds or anything. Just passed my 2 year anniversary.
Congrats
ProudToBe AnAmerican good was on ur side
Good for you man
You go homie
Aj Cristo way to be an optimist. It’s been 2 years.
And that's why Em is a legend who is still around. He actually cares enough to help people.
I met Royce Da 5'9 at Yankee Stadium VIP at the Eminem & Jay-Z Concert and he's the coolest dude!
+DOMINICAN KIDD Christ that escalated quickly.
You a clown im the only one who got the joke😂😂😂😂😂😂
How's a Dominican get in the VIP? You own a bodega across the street or something? Haha. Just playin'. Whut up from Queens!
ProudToBe AnAmerican LOL Working hard and making money.
+DOMINICAN KIDD I'm a Howard Beach boy. I know what that means. Lol. Boriqua posse!!
I love Royce. Love this dudes flow and he is on the most grown man shiz in the game. The most accountable rapper in a game that has no accountability.
I love how Em and Royce have so much love between them .. that’s why Royce always defends Em all the time .. rarely in life you find people like that .. crazy
Royce is a well spoken individual. Also a great artist.
"God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change the courage the change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"
Sober since May 6th 2014
Zaghir good to see a friend of bill on here!
10 months
Congratulations man, for real
Bill's friend here.... 82 days!
Bill W and Dr Bob ftw
eminem's recovery album is prolly my favorite album of all time but i dont listen to it anymore cause it takes me back to a dark place when i was battling demons, addiction and depression. but when it first came out, it was like God was talking to me though his verses. and id been a fan of his since day one, it felt like he was giving back to me.
Good stuff bro. Stay sober. U can do it...
Wanna go out for drinks? First round on me!
Nyc Underground
haha, i still drink. just not everyday like i used to.
when recovery came out I was battling popping pills. that album spoke to me
I had been sober for a year and a half when it came out...unfortunately I relapsed but still retained everything that I’ve learned and have gotten back on track since.
I like how Em and Royce maturely put their differences aside, became good friends again and Em helping him out during something he could severely relate to.
it was probably the fact that Em was sober and Royce was still drinking at that time
I don't think they ever fell out.
@@bobbydeazy They did, its publicly known
@@Kiluei when? I think you don't know the history. Royce fell out with Dre as his manager let out he ghost wrote the message. Em had to play position as did Royce as too much on line then he fell out with some d12 but not Eminem. They always been cool even when they didn't talk.
notice his wording at 2:14 vlad asks "do you think you WERE addicted to alcohol?" and royce responded that he knows he IS addicted to alcohol. the addiction never goes away, and the ones who realize this are the ones truly in recovery
How could you thumbs down this ??? This is gold information to hear from someone that had to humble himself
Eminem is honest and doesn't look down at you or lie he is a true friend Eminem ever told this story because it's Royce story to tell not him to tell
My name is Royce Da 5'9" and I'm an alcoholic. Hi Royce!
lmfao
Looool classic
+Af Twice lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
+Af Twice My name is Marshall Mathers, I'm an alcoholic Hi, Marshall!
I have a disease, and they don't know what to call it
+Bro Fessor better hide ya wallet cause I'm comin up quick to strip to cash
Quit my 2 addictions. Moved countries. Went back to Uni....
I graduate with my law Masters with distinction shortly. And I thank hip hop and Em / Royce's music. I wish they could see this but just knowing that they save ppl with their music is amazing.
Thank you so much.
Of course Shady is my fav rapper, but let me tell the truth: Royce is VERY underrated. If u listen to all his shit, it's all fire. What do u guys think?
#FACTS
He is fire itself
not alike verse is so good
@@garad123456 my favourite royce verse is from caterpillar he spits absolute fire in that song
He is GOAT Period
one of the most underrated MC's
Imagine Eminem at an Narcotic/ AA meeting he’d be like “Hi my name is....”
And everybody would be like “Slim Shady” haha
JDMC Music Aus watch just dont give a fuck
JDMC Music Aus When I’m gone has this premise but turns out a little different lol
You forgot the chicka chicka
Your profile pic..is that from they're podcast lol
Mike hawk... mine? Lol because if so it’s Gucci mane
1 year sober here.
keep it up, where you drinking everyday before sober?
Thanks, yeah. If I could, I would drink everyday and night and the goal was to get drunk. I thought I would die an alcoholic. Looking back, I can't believe I'm done with it.
+Reese Anderson Just curious, what was the point of it?
+Jhonn H like my man said, I would do everything in excess. there was no moderation with me. if I was going to the bar I couldn't just have a beer or two then leave, getting drunk was the goal because that was my idea of fun. God knows I would spend my entire check in the bar then borrow money to drink for the next day. addictions are a mother...
+Reese Anderson word man, hope you don't mind the questions. I'm just constantly doing research papers for school and its part my major psychology. Do you have any one in your immediate family with an addictive personality or traits?
I got clean and sober in 2012 and it was when I had a drug induced seizure that triggered my mind to say right that's that my family have seen enough . And I was blocking reality right out I had 15 years of my life taken away from me felt like I was abducted by aliens that's the only way to describe it . Royce it was the best thing you ever done seeing things more clear now and makes you a better rapper . Stay blessed and keep banging out tho,s fire tracks my G ..
Royce needs a better inteviewer.
I'm just on top of my game right now , Vlad
lol 😅
Vlad always sucks
For real. Vlad always bringing up Em. And doesent stop. You can tell it kind of gets under Royce skin, but he is loyal tho so he dont say shit. If he wants to find out about Ems life talk to Em. Royce has tons of real fuckin stories.
You mean black. Lol
Hey I got an idea! Get off your ass and do it yourself so somebody can get on your shit talking it.
1st of all....this man is one of, if not the most, underrated lyricist ever. Royce lays down the most savage bars, that are seriously cold as hell. When you break down his lyrics, or listen to the break downs online, you can see how gangster his shit truly is. Listen to the original version of renegade with Royce on it, he took it in a completely different direction then Jay Z took it and murdered it. Much respect for your music and for getting sober and putting it out there for others to draw strength from. It's big for kids to hear a celebrity of this caliber and in this culture, being real about addiction and recovery. Much respect.
Man, respect to Royce he's kicking knowledge. Salute homie
Royce is like my father,he gave up alcohol to fix his life.....Mad respect!
Bro is still sober, proud of you Royce! ✊🏽
crazy how they beefed when they were bestfriends and dissed each other, years later later they put the beef behind, and become close again
+Michael Duncan ...how is that crazy? That's called being grown. Besides they never really went at each other hardbody...it was more D12/royce.
+You Tubed it's Eminem tho! he's not known for dissing someone and reuniting with them, many rappers squash beef and mostly just move on..
+You Tubed nah listen to eminem difficult. He hated him just as much as the rest of D12
James Blount
no, he didn't.
Me, you and what's his face, I forgot his fucking name
Shame he even came to your funeral, he betrayed our team
And if I see him again I'ma punch him in the fucking face
And that's on Hallie Jade, Whitney Lane and Alaina's name - heard that line was about royce. could be wrong
Last album Royce brought out was spot on. And when him and em get on the mic hoo god it's crazy.
I guess the 47 dislikes are coming from Red Bull people, or alcoholics. Or both.
I'm a alcoholic these gave me hope
Respect to Royce for being able to tell everyone about his battles with addiction and all the things he struggled with cause it happens to all of us.
I just started AA yesterday…. I’m going to make story just like Royce…. A success story
I know this comment is old but I hope you're still on that path 🙏
Eminem is awesome
+CanvassBlack lool
Agreed
What about Royce
@@chrisb6484 Royce is the only rapper that can outshine Em on a song. Easily
@@Jay-dp5wp not easily, but Em is way better than Royce
Proud of Royce man 🙏🙏God is great
I always liked him as a rapper. He's awesome. Props to him and Em for ridding that crap out of their lives 💪
As a recovering addict there's no better counselor than an ex addict
RESPECT for Royce talking about trying to be a better father and husband and dealing with sobriety
Yeah DJ Vlad it's such a fucking hater! I guess you keep forgetting he's white also. He chases clout by using One race against the other
Four years sober for myself after almost 14 years I was spending $600 a day till I was broke but the $600 a day habit was still there
@The Sanch I was making good money with my job but I was in a accident and got a 47k settlement. It was gone within two months
man good for royce and good for em for helping him thats some real shit right there
Sippin ona 40 watching this and I can say is God bless Royce Da 5'9. I seen alcohol destroy families n he pulled through. I was blessed enough to control my drinking even after a tragic life.
Royce is lowkey so sick of people bringing up eminem every single interview hes in lmfao. Oh well guess thats the price for being close friends with the goat
I love this dude, hope him and em stay close , glad hes sober, and doing well
great job royce! over 2 years sober for me
I like it when Royce The Five Foot Nine Inches features with Eminem or vice versa. A new Bad Meets Evil album would be pretty awesome.
a year later, this interviewis GOLD!!
lol he said “you know what im sayin” so much that it became so insignificant it’s not even repetitive anymore
i just got sober since January of 2021 and the alcohol shit for me was so much worse than anyone would ever think... Royce said he would just shake and sweat, my story was vomiting and shitting blood and the worst part was the seizures and the crazy insomnia mixed with vivid ass crazy nightmares that were so realistic it would blow your mind... Alcohol is definitely the worst to come off of cold turkey
Congratulations Royce. Thank you for sharing your story of becoming sober. There are always others out there who will be encouraged about your story and beating alcoholism and or other addictions. I am glad Marshall was there for you. Everyone needs a special friend to help them through those tough times. So happy for you.
I been looking up to Eminem I ain’t do harsh stuff but it’s still bad I am thankful for knowing people can do it
Congrats to Royce for getting sober. I'm 5 years clean from opiates!
Royce you probably won't see this but that's fine my comment for anybody who reads it. You're very inspiring man I'm 39 and a alcoholic grew up in the culture and I'm seeking to become a better person. Everything you said was spot on and very raw and real.. real always recognize and this man here is bearing his soul which most won't attempt. Thank you .. I'll get there again
Fuckkk!!! He has hit the nail on the head with EVERYTHING he is saying!!! Soo Deep and Soo relatable for me!! He was a physically addicted alcoholic EXACTLY like me!!! Listening to him talking right now with the exception of only one thing, having side chicks" (I'm female) could be me sitting there talking!! I'm almost 8 years clean/sober and I can relate with EVERY word he is saying!!!! Stay strong Royce Good Luck to Him!
God bless you Royce. I am 6 years sober myself. Thank you for your honesty in this interview.
Great hearing this story. I actually will be sober 5 years in July. My spiritual awakening was an extremely disgusted "look" from a family member that made me feel so terrible that I didn't want to ever see that face from a loved one ever again. Crazy the little sh*t in life that can impact us so heavy. Picking up "Layers" soon, still bumping Success Is certain.
thanks a lot. definitely worth it, have a good weekend
Great job on your sobriety Royce. I'm 8 Months sober. I'm on the Monster phase now. U the Goat
I remember Drunk Royce dancing with a RPG in a video while laughing at Benzino.
lmfaoo that video was wild
JayGLiteHarlem lol what video?
Em is super good, kind and wholesome person. He just puts up a tough act around people that aren't important to him.
I’m happy for Royce being able to conquer his addiction. It’s not easy for someone to look at themselves and admit to their weaknesses, especially as a man.
Love his honesty.
Ain't a lot of rappers man enough to admit when they fucked up, much less try to fix their problems.
Much respect to Royce, I myself am a recovering Alcoholic, narc opioids I don't consider myself sober I'm still on tha methadone clinic but I feel all hes sayin. Royce kills it on Em's new album,his production,everything, I wish you the best man.
Mum, can dad not come to the game dressed as Royce Da 5'9 today? Lol
I wish more people as creative, talented & successful as Royce would speak as candidly & honestly as he did in this interview! Addiction is affecting epidemic levels of people; It having such a taboo connotation & the stigma attached to it, Makes it all the more difficult to deal with! This is real G stuff; Not any b.s. SALUTE + MUCH RESPECT!
"you know what I am saying" - I clearly believe u stayed too much with Marshall Mathers :P :D
😂
Not the worst side bitches 😂😂😂😂
You must know worse ones than lol
LOLOL!!!!
+CanvassBlack damn really? lol i need to find that vid lmao
+CanvassBlack i remember that but i didn't really think it was Royce till he confirmed it himself lol
Ryu Hyabusa what was the video
Much respect, Royce
I say this as an alcoholic, I cannot sleep without alcohol, and I cannot believe that alcohol is legal. I made it through Tobacco and Weed, but this is the worst one.
This man talking straight facts
The moment Royce mentioned Marshall.
VLAD "Eminem, eminem, did eminem help. How much did you talk to Eminem."
Ikr😂
Key words here to how he got sober folks: "I had a spiritual experience" .... Only a spiritual experience can save someone who was hopeless. Nothing else
Amen
Leave it to people like you to belittle the amazingness of sheer human will power. We don't have to look to a God for everything.
in honesty that "spiritual" experience may have started the drive, but deep down it was just mental all along. That was just the trigger, but he had to put in the efforts for. all those years.
Religion is a means to control the masses and weak minded people. God , however, is just a misnamed notion for the unknown energy/chi/life force/prana , whatever you want to call it , that exists in the universe. Do not discredit the universe when it is really the man-made religion which is the downfall to society, not the belief in god or a higher power. BIG difference. All of the main religions practiced today have its roots embedded in Egyptian mythology. Anybody who has done their research can see this is a well known point. It is clear you have done almost none and simply take on the whole "I know everything because im atheist" approach. And science cannot "destroy" religion because there are forces in the universe which cannot be explained by science. That is the difference between the man made religion and the 'god' , if that's what you want to call it. But to act like there is no such thing as unknown forces in which we live and adhere to, because science doesn't have a man made explication for, is just plain ignorant.
This interview is brought to you by monster energy.
I need to see things like this. I got 3 years sober. Thank you for sharing.
I respect Royce da 59 and eminem relationship addiction is no joke I'm glad they was a good support system for each other
Real fucking friends are so hard to come by ✊🏾
Much respect. Big fan. I’m in awe of everything you’ve done/continue to do in changing your life. Family is important so now you’re not only making changes in your life, the lives of your wife and children will also be affected in a good way. You are truly talented and blessed especially to have the support of Marshall who has been there himself. I’ve never met Marshall but from what I’ve learned from his interviews, he is a genuine/caring person. Keep up the good work and now that you’re sober, I look forward to watching your career soar even higher than you ever imagined. Peace!
Brooo this is awesome. Im going through the same thing bit with weed.. This is inspiring as hell to me
I really god damn love Royce. Hes just a stand up, mature, real dude. He deserves all the attention he is getting now. Hes just a master.
1 min sober here ...Thanks to you Royce
That's so awesome that you were honest thank you, very few can ever say they actually were an addict and can talk the truth of addiction so just wanted to thank you💓 xo
just real and no sugarcoating thumps up for this man
Once you overcome something that at the time feels nearly impossible to overcome- like addiction….and you see how strong you can actually be, and you really take a hard long look at your shortcomings-and learning how to change that, and have success at doing that- then it becomes natural to want to share that hope with others. We do recover❤️
Absolutely amazing well done Ryan Montgomery I'm 2 months sober and I'm not looking back and people like you and Marshall Mathers are nothing but inspirational and I'm talking outside of music you both are examples of stars being human first THANK YOU and we all want to see you grow old and be happy so be extremely proud of yourself
One day at a time Royce!! Glad youre staying sober brother.
I wish everyone had the intellect that Nickel has. Could you imagine a life surrounded by smart and humble people?
Respect to Ryan for being so real.
"I had the worst fucken side bitches in the world".....that hit home
Good job Royce keep it going brah...ur ppl r here 4 ya
It's crazy to me how regular people don't understand addiction
Well done to you Royce for making the important changes in your life. RESPECT
Thank god he's clean,he's without a doubt one of the top rappers in the game.
PRhyme 2 in Dec!
Slaughterhouse this year...i hope
Vlad isn't supposed to call Eminem Marshall ya'll not friends or family
lol who the fuck cares,thats his name,like wtf
,shouldn't Royce get mad?who are you,if I ever meet him I'm calling him marshal, unless he asks to be called something else that's cool,he's a human being just like me and you,
I'll call him Mr Mathers
I call him Marshall too
ObaminAtor 1 your a fucking buttler 😂😂😂
Well marshall is his real name isnt it
This man spoke some HARD truths here, WoW!
I hope homeboy is careful with those Monster Energy drinks. That stuff can kill you too. They can overdrive your heart and your heart can just straight up give out on you.
Congratulations to him indeed. In my opinion based on purely skill he is top 5.
He's a really good lyricist but musically he's not even top 15 he fell off hard after 2002 and has not improved at all musically he's actually worse now
+Kenny Porter I specified with the word "skill". I'm not commenting on his discography. I'm talking about in a cipher or over a beat based on the ability to rap few can keep up with him. He's unconventional while hyper-technical at the same time.
Gsteele4321 crooked i way better than him
@@Usernotknown21 his la leakers freestyle is better than anything crooked i has released.
Royce is top 10 of all time now, it ain't no debate
@@realeyesrealisereallies97 unlike Tupac, royce won't be remembered 10 years after he stops rapping.
Royce is a real one. Absolutely an articulate guy.
Shit.. I was in the same hole for years, fucked up relationships, fucked up my relationship with my kid, fucked up my parents. Now i have been sober for 3 years and just finished my social worker education and Going to get my diploma in working with addiction. My biggest influences are royce and em when it comes to batteling addiction. So huge shout out to u guys. #eminem #royce
That Monster shit's going to kill just as quickly as alcohol.
I was just about to say that. That Monster will kill him quicker then the alcohol.
+Nicolas Soto I want to say the insane amounts of sugar but I'm not 100%. I heard about a guy in a class before me had a heart attack caused by excessive drinking of energy drinks. My lady also works in a hospital, she's told me a few stories too. You don't want to drink those things daily man, it's all bad.
+Nicolas Soto They got way more sugar in them then soda, but I'd imagine it just overworks your heart. Have you ever been amped up on one before? Imagine drinking like 2-3 a day for months on end. That shit would put your heart in overdrive, leading to a heart attack.
+BudIce32oz It isn't the sugar or caffeine... Are you aware of the amounts of sugar we ingest daily? It's the extra additives listed on the can. Look it up.
Cire quicker "than"
Thats crazy, ill have 4 years sober september 11th which means i got sober a day before royce!
+Frankie Viola awesome! good for you!
Royce is crazy underrated man. I’m still glad he has had success and considering he is so close to em, his career could’ve easily been like the rest of d12’s in the sense that his only success was when he made a song with em. Yeah we all know Royce through em but Royce still has success and is well known so he still made it
