Albums Royce Da 5'9" - Book Of Ryan [Discussion Thread]

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

When Royce talked about his mom buying him a pair Rugged Outbacks and trying to pass them off as Timbs, I felt that shyt

Strong Friends

Album is fire, Royce was spitting real shyt and definitely poured his heart into this. fukks with it heavy.

Between PRhyme 2 and this album, Royce owns 2018

He was talking about his brother getting those shoes.

Idk I could never get into Royce music

This is a rrrrrreeeeeeeal personal album. Not finished with it (have 5 songs left), but nearly every song so far outside of Summer On Lock and Legendary are some real shyt, real deep stuff, and I'm really feeling it. Better than both Prhyme albums as well even with 5 songs to go.

This shyt is flames I fukk with every track heavy

Royce easily one of the most underrated MC's. The only track I skip is the Caterpillar remix when Logic gets on there screaming about being a white rapper

Rugged Outbacks I had a pair of knockoff Tims in 6th grade and got cracked on just like that. Didnt even know no better cause we was broke and I didn't know what Tims were. This Power track is prime Royce.

These personal tracks really shine on the album. I even like the skits about his life and with his son, but I definitely agree that's its way too much singing on this.




Edit: I just can't fukk with this Logic nikka. Whether he can rap or not this nikka verses always corny as fukk to me. nikka it doesn't matter how many albums you sold, BET ain't checking for you cause nikkas ain't checking for you. shyt ain't that hard.

Album is crazy

Cocaine

I like this album...I like most of royce stuff...but Death is Certain remains his best album and Bar Exam 2 remains his magnum opus.

 

[oO J Smooth Oo]

Legendary is one of the weirdest/wackest beats ever.

 

[LEEeveryday]

I swear Royce & Eminem be having the same flow some times...

I think Royce is that much of a genius that he unlocked the code to Eminems flow... Or is it vice versa?...

Amazing album. I was playing this afterwork shyt almost ruined by good weather in NYC vibe lol. Thats how emotional that shyt is.

Average album, the production is fukking terrible though. Legendary Mr.Porter did Royce dirty on that one.
Really personal album but too many wack songs. Amazing songs: Boblo Boat, Power.

 

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

I'm curious to know who started this halfway-attempt at singing shyt in hip hop - there seems to be a mad trajectory in the past 5 years

these nikkas sound like they doozing off on the mic when they singing and think it sounds coo

Lil Wayne started it.

You don’t think that legendary beat is average, if not horrible? Lol
