Street Hop: NYC (Part 1) - Royce Talks In Depth About Shady Records, Young Money

[danzeto1]

The only person that could positively add to Shady 2.0 is The Game...

[illtechmusic]

unfortunately numbers mean something because the music industry 95% business and 5% music so with that said it will be a Over saturation of bs but with that all the bs there will always be jems like slaughterhouse who make everybody happy at the end

[MzKGeneration]

royce just seems realer than wayne theres no gimmicks or anything just a sick rapper

[jr30347]

YOUNG MONEY IS GARBAGE #SLAUGHTERHOUSE

[andasin]

this is an intelligent nigga right here, YaoWAAAA, slaughterhouse will do to ymcmb what g unit did to murder inc.

[lilshitty100]

whos royce ?? ive heard of 50cents and lil wayne,

[DrapedNBlue]

Royce Ah Real Nigga Doe...

[Kariraa]

He needs to work on his follow through to make his jumper actually legit

[3CA1]

@Kariraa aint it... hes pushin the ball.. not bending his knees well.. not enough arc... haha :D

[ulisesrugi]

all i have to say is Shady 2.0 is coming to shut down young money

[Annatar3469]

why I like Royce:

1. He can rap.

2. He can write real good lyrics.

3. He has a brain.

4. He's a friend of Eminem's.

5. He is in Slaughterhouse.

[SINGONTHEROAD2SUCCES]

[riptidereborn]

nigga in da background was gettin his practice in

[salasrcp90]

Royce>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>­Lil Wayne 

[ken760ca]

Wayne outsells ppl cuz he has young idiot high school kids that know nothing about real hiphop buying his BS in huge numbers. The sheep masses of morons. PPL who think hiphop is about being cool or in style when its actually about being unique and expressing yourself.

[sliccmoufschalaa]

Anybody that thinks Royce is biting his tongue about young money must just have started listening to Royce...what he is doing here is using them as an example and not trying to create phony beef. Any member of slaughterhouse could single handed take out the whole young money crew...its just an example...those two crews are not even comparable...young money sells becuz the majority of music consumers are dumb and need dumbed down lyrics

[Supernova1113]

SLAUGHTERHOUSE>YOUNG MONEY

[Supernova1113]

EMINEM AND SLAUGTHERHOUSE A RECORD??? WOW THAT WOULD BE MUSIC TO MY EARS!!

[ardaorhan]

royce's fucking biting his tongue about young money

[CALICOTV301]

@ardaorhan Royce is old school. He's not about beefing and controversy. Another reason I respect him.

[DFarewell]

i wonder if the guy playing basketball in the back made any of those buckets lol

[mikesandytoes]

@DFarewell 1:33

[zabuza6784]

has anyone ever seen royce without shades looool

[DontMessWithEmin3m]

Why does Royce support the music of Young Money??...

[TagzBloody]

@DontMessWithEmin3m He doesnt really support them no matter what he just said. he is dissing them in a freestyle. he hates young money he just dont wanna start the beef yet i think

[DontMessWithEmin3m]

@TagzBloody Yeah i kinda noticed that. Isnt Slaughterhouse dissin alot of rappers in their song Microphone? I think that Young Money is included in the list too.

[TagzBloody]

@DontMessWithEmin3m Yes Young money is in the list. Royce Are just spitting on them, with that freestyle he got with eminem and mr porter in Tim westwood. Shady Record's Are One hell of a sick Label/Crew.

[DNyce336]

i personally feel aint a rapper alive that can outspit royce

[GrimmjowProduction]

Sales dont mean shit... if they did, does that mean Drake is better than Big L?

[impatientp]

@GrimmjowProduction I see you've seen the R.A video?

[GrimmjowProduction]

@impatientp Hahahaha Yeah :D but still, its a fact...

[impatientp]

@GrimmjowProduction Of course, R.A knows whats up

[zzatikyan]

Respect - Numbers*

[zzatikyan]

Slaughterhouse CANNOT do numbers like Young Money...

Why?

Young Money and their music targets the larger demographic -- your average, ignorant-ass listener.

Listening to artists like Slaughterhouse requires a minimum amount of intelligence and critical thinking, which only a minority of the population, particularly among the hip hop demographic, possesses.

But I say fuck the numbers.

Respect - Numbers.

[Poebro]

@zzatikyan Exactly my thoughts.

[sebslop]

@zzatikyan Numbers dont mean shit kid. Sales dont mean shit. Wayne can sell 10 million but he's trash. As a matter of fact everyone on young money is trash.

[V3nomisVip3r06]

@sebslop thats your opinion

[Brick1017Squad]

i listen to some Slaughterhouse but to say anyone of them is better than Wayne is just plain stupid IMO Royce and Crooked are the only crazy ones the rest are AVERAGE

[LONDON1KaZR]

@Brick1017Squad One word...RETARD

[leway903]

@Brick1017Squad  Joell average? Budden? lmfao just stop posting.

[pimptastic13]

I couldn't help but notice how terrible the guy's shooting was in the background.

[HitzR1]

Slaughterhouse can't pull the same numbers as Young Money. I wish they would but I don't see it happening.

Aside from Pump it Up from Budden, which was terrible, none of the guys from Slaughterhouse can put out a club anthem or a hit single, its not their style.

[The1hoodrich87]

* get any love

[IHAVENOL1FE]

lol they were probably recording session one at this time

[zysano1]

you can take the most hardcore underground shit and put abig label behind with the right push and it will be a heat.. if youre going to stick something to people face all the time at the end they will like it.

[TheEminemBase]

Royce is definitely one of the most underrated ever.

[The1hoodrich87]

@TheEminemBase naw the most underrated is oc but it could be between killah priest ras kass or canibus. When you say ever ever then jamal. None of these artist give any love for what they do.

[ColdGripHandle]

Hip Hop does need a balance but the listeners and fans are still talking about who's the best Many forms of hip hop can co exist because some hip hop is not for the big audiences . the hip hop artists need to get back to being artist and stop trying to be identical to the next guy. Who needs you if you are the next guy? May as well stick with the other guy..

[tehutiheru]

1. Stay Far away as Hell form Industry Rappers

2. Never kiss up to the Enemy to be on a Gay Label

3. Royce the 5`9 is LIVE on the M.I.C but isnt from Detroit. He from Oak Park=Fail

4. Slaughter House was really Master Ace= Fail

5. Shady Records + Slaughter house= Fail

6. Proof said Eminem was a Racist slave master & died Broke

7. Lil Wayne & Young Money is making Noise

8. Slaughter House is not on Young Money`s level

[tehutiheru]

I dont like Young Money Not One Bit.But I know they are all on the radio Making Noise & making My Girl turn that shit up. Look Royce. Women dont like all the Complicated Rap.Make it simple & straight to the Point. Other than that. My Opinion is You Whack when it come to doing Numbers. But you do have Great Lyrics. But not for today`s Times.

[airwavekilla]

@tehutiheru He really isnt what the Youth or the Radio wants to here.

[Igetsitin89]

@tehutiheru yeah true the youth cant related 2 daughterhouse cause them niggas all old as hell talking bout shit thats irelvant YMis like the And1 of hip hop

[airwavekilla]

@tehutiheru Yeah I have the Master Ace Slaughter House album. They str8 copycats. Royce did sound like he was kissing up to Em. & Proof did get Played to the Curb by the Honky( EMINEM ).Young Money is wack & getting much Radio Play. Slaughter house is a Joke & Broke

[Igetsitin89]

@airwavekilla so how is slaughterhouse a joke ? & how did they copy ?

[MeckWun]

@tehutiheru lol

[c0019107]

Slaughter house is The new Firm

[froassassin]

FUCK YOUNGMONEY!!!!!!

[vibmarietb]

fuck yung money am i the only one with da nuts 2 say it

[boozaaa]

@vibmarietb fuck no, I tell one of my friends who bugs me at my school just to get on my nerves by saying Young Money is better than Slaughterhouse. Or saying Wayne is better than them. I just say, "Fuck Young Money." Because, there's no reasoning w/ Wayne fans.

[leobdope]

@boozaaa thtas cuz that majority of wayne fan base come from pop music...

[boozaaa]

I guess...I realized I don't hate Wayne. I just hate his fans with a passion. Peace.

[TheHardcoreBastard]

im with ya man, FUCK YOUNG MONEY, over rated wasters

[CLOVERCITYY15]

ya'll hear dat,,slaughterhouse is puttin shady down

[CLOVERCITYY15]

HE says YUNG MONEYON TOP,,WE DA oposite

[smokingintherain56]

young money isnt doing shit. there all fan based, they rap about dumb shit. but slaughterhouse is the best thing to happen to hip hop since about 2001

[bmillbrook]

@smokingintherain56 YM=lil wayne, drake, and nicki

the rest are pointless.

[prlomchild]

NIGGAZ WANT 2 BE X POPPIN CHOREOGRAPHER FAGGOTS!!! ITS NOT ABOUT LYRICS NOW. HIP HOP is DORMANT. rap (50% dancing, 25% pop, 10% singing, 15% hip hop) is sufficatingly alive.

[21sek]

PHOKn ROYCE HAHAHA

stoned ass PHOK

SLAUGHTERHOUSE KILLZ

PAINTHEDZOVERKILL

FAR WEST TEXAS REPIN

[rubatem]

Royce is in the Young Money Forever video in the background when Eminem is rapping, I believe!

[giberish1986]

lol i think royce was the one interviewing him, longest question i ever heard

[heyyesletsgo]

slaughterhouse need 2 sign wit eminem. i mean i dnt care about sales but they wud go multi platinum by doin tracks wit eminem, 50 nd dre. nd just imagine how gud their songs wud b.

[matsambo1]

royce sold 4000 copies on his first week. he thinks he can move from that? dude was and will always be garbage. joe budden is the only one who's marketable from that group. That's only because his mixtapes are always on point.

[Splitterchrist]

fuck beeing marketable. unfortunately you have been brainwashed against real hip hop like 90% of all listeners today

[boozaaa]

@matsambo1 I liked Royce's Bar Exam 2 Mixtape.

[00sm4]

Royce shouldn't Disrespect young money like that.

[boozaaa]

@00sm4 Young Money < Slaughterhouse

[VENOMOUSBRAIN]

im actually glad royce didnt blow...because he would be making tracks with ne-yo and rhianna and fucked off niggaz like preem exactly like jay z

[youngcnyce]

Royce should have been signed to shady along time ago. Hes a hell of alot better than Wayne btw

[prlomchild]

not a hell of a lot better. they got different flows and write 4rm different sides of the brain and make different music. Royce is more classic hip hop wit today's advanced literary devices and Wayne is more current and makes club songs 4 the bitches and makes lyrical shyt.

[bensononyeugbo]

mainstream rap is dead its like the whack shit is what radio plays real hip hop don't sell look at krs, rawkwon, red and meth, and slaughterhouse. they don't get the numbers that they deserve.

[bensononyeugbo]

royce 5'9 is lyrically better than wayne lets face the facts but numbers wise they can do it if they get the right promotion but the radios like playing all that fake shit like young money, soulja boy, new boyz, etc. all that shit is garbage i ain't hating just being honest.

[mensadogblack]

well, I don't know why you're making the assumption that royce would sell if he got signed by a major label. Lil wayne provided about 2000 songs between 2004 and 2007 before he made those numbers. It is impossible for slaughterhouse to do that.

[bensononyeugbo]

its not impossible with time and hard work thats all it takes all im saying is that if they get the right promotion they can be able to get them numbers. and also lets remember the carter 3 leaked and still sold a lot if wayne can do it so can slaughterhouse. the reason wayne even got those numbers its because of his mixtapes and the media trying to make him look like his music is "all that" when its not. nothing is impossible if you put your ming to it.

[earlmccormick88]

Wayne spits so motherfucking slow and pathetic. Any cat in slaughterhouse will slaughter Wayne. Dude is nothing lyrical, point blank, period. Raps about the same shit forever. Hoes, money, cars, punchline, guns, violence, punchline, punchline, punchline. Pussy, drugs, crime, etc....Everything a lyrical artist does not continually rap about. Fuckouttahere with that bullshit.

[smallz704]

you mean jae millz was nice... listen to his shit then compared 2 now, went from battle emcee 2 average rapper if u ask me, skill wise

[loyalj7]

good interview...

love all them nigga's in slaughterhouse PAUSE...

SO IS THERE A PART 2?

[SheltonCross]

Son, Royce is modest as HELL cuz the streets know Young Money ain't holding a candle to Slaughterhouse.

No disrespect, but they're on two different levels. Whoever thinks Young Money is better than Slaugterhouse lyrically is smoking some freakin' muffler gas. Although, Jae Millz is nice.

[earlmccormick88]

Co-sign. Thanks. I love Jae Millz, Young Money cant touch Slaughterhouse lyrically, period. New Orleans was hot for their club bangers, radio joints, etc...Wayne has his push, he rapped totally different then.

[SheltonCross]

U aint lie, Young Money is the kid stuff and Slaughterhouse is what we need for Hip-Hop.

Everyone is trying to push either some swagga shyt, decorated similes calling em metaphors, or the soft shyt...Slaugterhouse is bringing it to the streets RAW, so we need something like this.

[mensadogblack]

I like Royce but saying you can sell more than young money is dumb. Drake provided a free mnixtape for free and one year later he sold it. He sold 4 times more than slaughterhouse combined on the first week. When we get to wayne, Slaughterhouse combined wouldn't even sell 50 of what wayne has sold in 100 years. Wait, not just 100, 1000 years. I'm serious..lmao

[SheltonCross]

You're absolutely rap, but Drake is a costume rapper. He's not on Royce's level because the public wants to hear a youngin some spit, so if u have someone come out spittin' like Royce, Nas, Pac or whoever like 18 years old then people are gonna dig him..

Like me.

[boozaaa]

who gives a shit about sales. wayne can sell more, but he's not better than royce.

[matsambo1]

sales matter because money pays the bills. If you can do something, give your best!

[boozaaa]

royce is putting more effort in his music than wayne is. or maybe wayne is and he just sucks at it or needs to take a longer time to write songs. but wayne is making more music, because all the kids my age are buying his music no matter if its good or bad.

[ropermusic]

true

[Azuria518]

SlaugtherHouse didn't have the label power behind them that D12 had though. If you put a bigger label behind SlaugtherHouse and they get that push. SlaugtherHouse "will" surpass Wu-Tang, or any other group

[badLuckrapp]

you just a fan lmao

wu tang?  fuck up

[justiceforallandall]

Damn... I jus hope shit goes good for them. I pray that they come out and bless Hip Hop's mainstream. They are the BEST group out right now.

[JPD4966]

Those aint facts

[kLav85]

royce is real, wayne is faker then whiteout... no comparison. Royce has touched more kids then a pedophile.

Joe vs. Drake... who curs

ortiz an millz -agreed

I vs Gucci - I agree with I.

as if you compared royce to wayne...

[GrizzINK]

Im not a Wayne fan but im also not a hater. He can spit,but I do believe the bar exam 2 is betta than the carter 3.

I was talkin bout Macc Maine btw.

[mensadogblack]

There's no tie between wayne and royce. Wayne wins. These niggaz been in the game for the same period (wayne or royce). Wayne didn't need a big label in the late 90's but he was doing big numbers. I am 100 % sure that less than 50k people would buy a slaughterhouse album even if they were signed by eminem. They should just live with it. What wayne sells in one week is what slaughterhouse would sell in about 100 years approximately. I am not even exaggerating

[GrizzINK]

Although wayne wasnt on a big label, he was in a big market.He came out in the NO LIMIT era so New Orleans was hot and whoever were to come outta New Orleans whether Cash Money or No Limit woudda been hot.The Detroit market was dead EVERYBODY from the D was on the on the come up.Royce had a harder time gettin his shit out on the airwaves

[matsambo1]

wayne was doing big numbers without any promotion. Royce and wayne have been in he game for almost the same number of years but wayne has never flopped and royce always does. This nigga is just delusional.

[GrizzINK]

Rocc City sold over 500,000 copies,when it came out and not sayin that's big numbers but its still gold status. But Wayne didnt blow up by himself...He blew up with the HOT BOYZ. He didnt come outta his shell until early 00.And u cant tell me records sells matter over lyrics.And I feel Royce has been more lyrical than Wayne.

[mensadogblack]

lil wayne's albums have either been double or triple platinum except 500 degreez (it went over gold). Royce, numbers don't lie. You a wayne wannabe. Has anyone ever heard the "I'm me" freestyle by royce? shit is horrible.

[boozaaa]

wayne ain't on royce's level.

[NorthBayToTdot]

agreed, royce is hip hop, wayne is hip pop

[14zup]

Young Money in general is just shit hop

[smokingintherain56]

@14zup young money isnt hip hop there pop, truthfully

[123InDaPlaceToBe]

@NorthBayToTdot What r u talkin bout' WAYNE NEVER BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE HIP HOP!!!

[Vladic89]

@boozaaa not even fucking close, im sick of people keep talking about wayne. Just cuz you sell a few million albums doesnt make you the great one, it just means a few million people are stupid as fuck.

[boozaaa]

@Vladic89 The only reason I bring him up is usually when I says something like that its, because a Wayne fan pissed me off at school. I agree and didn't Immortal Technique say something like that "it just means a few million people are stupid as fuck"? But, on the real the weakest member of slaughter on anyday is better than the best young money member which is Wayne or Drake. Have you heard the Eminem single "Not Afraid"?

[JPD4966]

Somebody give this man the NEGRO PLEASE award

[Kavio1]

Slaughrthouse is the album of the year so far

[dakidkossreturns]

why would joell and royce sign to aftermath again when dre fucked them over before

[kedordu]

SLAUGHTERHOUSE DIDNT LIVE UP TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF THEIR INTERNETS..

MANY OF THEIR STANS WERE EXPECTING SOMETHING LIKE D12s DEVILS NIGHT .

[xoxoJOHNxoxo]

Real talk. Thanks!!!

[emceeschwartz]

budden is trash i like the rest of the group though...

[jizzy2sexi]

SLAUGHTERHOUSE!

Good interview

[ViLLyViLLz]

SLAUUUGGGGGGGGTTTERRRRRRRR!!!!­
