"I'm not a gangsta, drug dealer or thug nikka
Just an emcee who made a name with his rhyme style"

I guess he had no choice since nikkas stopped believing him :mjlol:


This beat goes though :ehh:

Royce has a decent catalog when you think about it.

Rock City OG was ehh, but 2.0 cleaned it up nicely
Build & Destroy was dude at his peak IMO, mad as hell, drunk as hell and killing every verse
Death Is Certain is one of the best rap albums to capture depression and frustration like that
Independant's Day is more of a compilation, and is prolly his weakest "release"
Street Hop had some filler, but also some of his best records
Success Is Certain was clean
Bad Meets Evil was solid for the most part
PRhyme was dope

Bar Exam tapes were fire. Slaughterhouse stuff was disappointing

Royce is criminally underrated IMO. Worked with the best producers, definitely ate Em on some records, did lots of ghostwriting and been around for over 15 years
