In 2020, the moment Mistah FAB destroyed Royce Da 5’9 has been conveniently forgotten

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

2007: Royce Da 5’9 battles perceived underdog Mistah Fab. Royce Da 5’9 gets destroyed worse than any boxer that has ever stepped in the ring with the wrong person
- FLASH FORWARD - it’s 2020, Mistah Fab has been rescinded to local hood legend status, getting overlooked in his time while doing essentially the same thing with his Dope Era brand that Nipsey Hussle did with his Marathon Brand in his time

Meanwhile you can not accidentally come across a Royce verse that doesn’t have that same grating tone and sentiment of “I’m a good rapper and all y’all today aren’t”

Next to Royce Da 5’9 it would appear that Eminem has swag and soul

I always hated the name Royce da 5'9. Horrible name.

Royce went into this ‘battle’ under the impression it wasn’t a battle. He spit verses from songs that he had or that were on the way to being released...fab actually took some shots at him and treated it like a battle...royce’s response was the endgame tho

 

[Hersh]

i dont understand mistah fab

 

[HiiiPower]

Lets not act like “Who Got Bodied” Never Happened

Royce mopped the floor with him on wax when he was actually aware it was a battle

random, but Joe Budden was supposed to be at this too, pulled out at the last minute cos someone shot his brother up

 

[hex]

If Royce drops the "tell Fab to get his cash when he wakes up" line or whatever it was....and Fab ignores him....then it's a different story. All we got to go on is the stage stuff.

But Fab stupidly got baited into dissing Royce on wax, and got destroyed.

Fred.

Again...it was not suppose to be a battle. It was promoted like a cypher that was suppose to include Joe Budden and Phonte. Joe’s brother got shot and he didnt show up and Phonte dropped out so they changed the format last minute.

Yup, and Phonte confirmed this himself. Hell I'm pretty sure he said it was exactly because it sounded like a trap

Mistah F.A.G's career went down the drain when he cosigned V-Nasty's use of the n-word.

False.

And daam breh, what Fab do to you?

 

[FeloniousMonk]

And you can't be a super emcee and be surprised when another rapper wants to battle you in a crowd, knowingly or not.

 

[Threnody]

This thread is pathetic

Everybody who was around back then knows the situation nikkas is lame as hell trying to spin this years later

Unless F.A.B got some ether level response to "Who Got Bodied" I don't know about

nikkas love going the extra mile. Never mind the fact that that Fab himself in present day doesn't reminisce on this event like he came out of it victorious.

Agreed.

I don't care about narratives on who did or didn't win legitimately, or even Royce's rebuttal. That's all ancient history.

But unplanned or not, as an "elite" MC you have to "be ye also ready". Not being prepared really isn't an excuse for anybody who is supposed to be at the top of their craft, especially with the way Royce and Joe are always purporting to be so much better than ere'body else.
