Royce Da 5'9 : Layers was terrible

[DirtyMoney]

At the peak of his career he actually released this trash, can't understand why. Production, lyrics.

3 good tracks Tabernacle, Pray, Wait

 

[Djalminha]

Agreed, it was a really disappointing album.

In fact I haven't enjoyed anything he's done since Hood Hop (barring PRhyme), which to me is his best album, I can still bump it now and it's got Premier's best post gangstarr beats on IMO. Something 2 Ride 2 is still

In closing, Royce should just work with Premier, it's just a great fukking fit man.

Mixtape was fire then he drops that dud of an album

 

[DirtyMoney]

He just needs to grow as an artist. His hooks and content is just too amateur.

I mean it would have made more sense to call the album Detroit and use everything going on in Detroit as a platform like the water crisis, poverty, drugs etc. The timing would be perfect too with D'Angelo & Kendrico releasing similarly themed albums.

He has no depth and his beats and concepts were corny on this release.. And skits lol.. Those fukkin skits

 

[TransJenner]

He's peak was that Bad Meet Evil album

 

[DirtyMoney]

He's peak was that Bad Meet Evil album

That too was corny. It came past Eminems peak

 

[Colilluminati]

Bar Exam 1 is a classic . Everything after that has been

 

[ROFLOCO]

Ya'll is crazy -- this is one of his most complete projects -- there isn't a skippable track on this album. 4 mics.

 

[DirtyMoney]

Almost none of this can be performed in concert. It's just trash

 

[Zero]

shyt was a weedplate

 

[Big Dick]

Lol ignoring every retard in this thread. Thanks for exposing yourselves pardon me while I never hear from y'all again.

 

[Cloud McFly]

It kinda makes me mad that dude keeps releasing forgettable albums, as dude is such a beast on the mic. As it has been said before, the beats, hooks, and the majority of the concepts are wack and corny on there.


Death Is Certain is still a personal classic of mine.

 

[NYK Loyalist]

I'm a fan of Royce but I just can't get into this album. I've tried a few times and I can't get past track 4 or 5. Around Bar Exam 2 he started this rambling style with these run on verses

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

You think Royce is at his peak right now?

This was right around the time of his peak...



He's Andre Miller status.

 

[H.J.Duck]

granted.. as a long time Royce fan I feel that the mixtape was better than the album.... but the album was still very good. imho, the mixtape was his strongest release since Street Hop (or Bar Exam 2 if you didn't like Street Hop)

it's crazy how many garbage releases get attention (@ the coli) compared to actually dope projects... but whatever
